Pretty sure try 3 was a bust for me. Had my temp drop this morning like it always does around this time. Won't know for sure until Saturday as I am actually being good for once and not testing until OTD on Saturday but seeing that temp drop crushed my hopes. ugh.
 
I know lots of pregnant ladies who get a temp drop then it rises ack up again. Not trying to give false hope, just saying I can think of four of them right now. I never temped so I've got no clue what my body did.
 
Ash-way to early to count yourself out. I know what it is like though. We try to prepare ourselves to be let down so that maybe we aren't as devastated if the beta is negative.

I am patiently waiting for IUI #4 and I am trying to prepare myself for a different attitude. It seems impossible to not think about it and wonder everyday of the tww. I found that the tww wait easiest with my second IUI. I believed it was successful from before the procedure was done. I hope that is how IUI #4 goes for me. It was better for me and better for any would be implanters. The thing I want to change though is I want to not test until 13 dpiui.
 
Thinking you are pregnant from as soon as the IUI is done, really does help with your mentality towards the 2ww. I was the same this past cycle, so i was in total disbelief when i saw the faint second line at 12dpo. Mind you the cycle ended as a chemical, but still it helped not thinking about it. When my breasts started swelling however at 9dpo..i was beginning to get suspicious.
Ah well. On to the next. Taking a month off sucks. Can i just say HOW far away CD 1 seems when you are only on CD6!

Moon - I feel ya sista! I am cd7 and I am waiting too. I have another cd1 in between the cd1 I am waiting for!!!!
 
Just to clarify, my fsh as if I am in my 20s. I think my afc was early 30s.
 
oh god Its hard Nicker! After our loss in August they told us to take 3 cycles off to regulate before trying with the DS again. We took 2 full cycles off as i went right back to normal the cycle after the loss. Unfortunately fate was against us, the flight left without the shipping tank, the sperm arrived a day late AND my opk's were screwy that month so we ended up cancelling the cycle. But it was SO hard taking that much time off, thinking about the eggs that were going to waste. Even with 2 trips in there it seemed like an eternity. Here is hoping time flies for both of us.
 
Oneof14, that must make this process even harder - being from a big family and being the only one with fertility issues. It's hard to know though if it's you or dh, you know? You could be a fertile Myrtle, but maybe Dh's sperm are just not penetrating your eggs. Are you going to do icsi? Also consider taking coq10. Any idea on what kind if IVF protocol you'll be doing?

my FS said that my DH will have another SA on May 1st and if's OK (which it has been) they will freeze it because he may not be here for the IVF. He said if there is any issue with his sperm, they will do ICSI. It could be a possibility, but I did have a chemical pregnancy the month after my HSG, naturally. So I dont know if the sperm not penetrating the egg is the issue. In any event, my FS did say with IVF they get to know those types of problems and can fix them.

As far as protocol, those questions will be answered on May 1st at my IVF orientation. I heard that you should not take coq10 uness your dr approves, that is can worsen you egg quality. I have actually thought about it but was afraid.

Moon, I now order my sperm so that it arrives by cd10 scan. My doc has liquid nitrogen on hand to top off the tank if need be. On my second cycle I was given a shot called Cetrotide to prevent ov because the follies were ready and the sperm was in Ontario! I had to pay $125 more for rush shipping. It is supposed to be next day delivery but on my first IUI it took an extra day.
 
this is the first cycle on progesterone. im having tons of symptoms but.. progesterone.. i mean i started the suppositories 2dpiui and pretty much by day 3 or 4 my boobs started hurting. i did injectibles this cycle (first time) so my stupid ovaries have been sore for ages now too. oh and tmi but .. constipated, which i never get (im a once a week or so person to start with but that doesnt usually bother me..) so that explains a lot of the pelvic cramps etc. oh and im ridiculously tired but.. im working a crazy work week. keep trying to be positive mostly cause i dont wanna deal with talking to the clinic about their mistake etc.
 
doesn't it suck?! LOL. we usually had ours arrive for cd 11 as i usually had my +opk cd 13 and O on cd 15. Now that we are doing the IUI's with the dr we had 6 vials all shipped together to save on shipping costs etc and they have them in storage at the clinic. Sure makes it less stressful. Am now waiting to hear from the sperm bank if they will let us sell our last 2 AI unwashed vials back to them. According to the website they should take them back...cause the money from those will pay a large chunk of next months medicated cycle. Gosh...having kids was NOT supposed to be this pricey or hard!
 
Squid my boobs get super sore from progesterone. Usually until about 12dpiui. I cant get enough sleep on progesterone. Never had the constipation or sore ovaries though. Maybe ohss?
 
i should add, the AI vials are still at the sperm bank. we only had our 6 washed vials shipped to our clinic here. I just wish we had went medicated from the get go, simply because he insisted on 2 back to back insems so we wasted 4 freaking vials on 2 IUI's at least now we are getting 2 cycles with the last 2 vials.
 
the first time i was on progesterone i was super tired, puffy breasts, tender and i had constipation as well. had to drink water like a mad woman to keep things moving.
 
Moon - if you already had the sperm shipped they probably won't take it back. If it is on reserve at the bank then they may. All I have read though is that the buy back at half price. What meds will you be doing?
