Oh yeah and I buy unwashed sperm. My doc washes it in his office anyway.

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?

Jumping in here...Trying to catch up!!

I had a ton of cramping, extremely sore swollen boob etc...my last round with progesterone and injectables, I did end up with OHSS.... UGHHH....NO fun

 

[Nicker]

Ellemar. Good to see you again!!

 

[Nicker]

I really should get doing something but my furbaby is comfy I hate to disturb him. He is laying on me with his head on my chest. Only his head is not under blankets! 2 more weeks he will be 16!!

nicker- femara is oral tablets.

yeah i have the nipple thing going on too. eh, if it is ohss it is mild (no sig weight gain, no shortness of breath etc). not too worried. the few days after the trigger i was a bit worried but i did us and had no free fluid just big ovaries

luckily my clinic has a lab that can store the sperm but.. given the issues i had i wonder if they are the ones doing a shitty job.. sigh.

I hope it's not OHSS, but just a heads' up that mine showed on my next cycle!! When I went in for my U/S the Doc told me....So I wasn't able to try again, until now.... I really hope that you don't have it, but just to make sure they check again )

Good luck!!

Hi Ladies,

I want to inform you of some stuff I learned this cycle with a BFP. I went into get my Beta at 11 dpo and it was 36 but that morning my FRER looked like a negative practically. The digital still said pregnant but the FRER was not good. Moreover, the FRER I took yesterday before beta was still not as dark as the control line and my beta was 129? Say what? I was surprised because when I looked where the CB digtial was made it said China and the FRER was made in the U.S.A. Sad really. The day I got the best test with FRER (still not as dark as control line though) was 13 dpo.



This is not a journey for the weak. Follow your hearts. Give all you got to make your dreams come true so you don't have regrets. I don't think I could do IVF. I am not a fan of the medical field as it is and not a fan of lots of prescription drugs but we all have to do what is right for us and what our heart's desire.

I totally can understand. I can't say I know how you feel but even I took a break for a while after ohss. It begins to be a little too much at times. Wish you the best with TTC in the near future.

Equal take as much time as you need

 

[froliky2011]

Equal - A reprieve is definitely a good thing when you need to heal. BnB will still be here when you are ready.

 

[Nicker]

Equal - we will be here when you are ready

 

[Hopeful42nd]

Equal- no worries. Do what you need to and we can all wait. Good luck with everything I'll keep praying for your miracle!

 

[moonhippie]

Equal, take all the time you need.

Nicker, the sperm we want to sell back is currently AT the sperm bank facility. If you buy from repromed and it is NOT an import donor but one from their "special" catalog they apparently SAY they will buy it back with just a $75 fee of some sort. We went with washed for our IUI's as the drs office charges $500 to wash what we could just buy already washed for only a $100 more than unwashed.
he is starting me on 5mg oral femara days 3-7. Im still surprised at that since i always O on my own every cycle. *shrug* anyone else in this boat, where you O but the dr is going to use clomid or femara to up your chances of conception?

talked with his nurse today about my "education" session i have to attend on how to give the hcg (useless as being a vet tech i am more than aware of how to prep and give an injection...just more money grabbing...)
she seemed surprised when she said "Ohh your protocol has changed? did you see the dr?" no, i got a doctorate from the university of google and ordered the labs/us/trigger and wrote the Rx myself. *shakes head* i really hope she isn't this ridiculous to work with for the entire cycle.

 

[Nicker]

Moon I am confused. I thought you wanted a medicated cycle? The femera is a medicated cycle to help give you more eggs. You are triggering to right? That allows you better timing an also for all nature eggs to release not just the one dominant one.

Hi ladies! I just came across this thread and would love to join. I am currently in the 2ww at 2dpiui. This is iui #1 and our 2nd Clomid cycle. We have been ttc for almost 2 years. This is going to be a long 2ww. Congrats to all the BFP's so far and to everyone else.
