IUI Jan/Feb/March/Apr/May 2012 - Status updates on page one 12 bfp

[oneof14]

Ash, it still can be too soon, but I understand your feeling. I am too afraid to test just yet. I may just wait for AF to show up next week.

I tested yesterday afternoon on frer and thought I saw a hint of a line, but I think it was my eyes playing tricks on me, as I looked at the stick 1000x.

 

[notoptimistic]

My luteal phase is usually around 15 days, however, last cycle for some unknown reason it was 20 days (natural cycle) and the cycle before that when I was on clomid it was 16 days. I'm just having a lot of anxiety that I'm going to see another bfn. I think I'd rather wait and see if af comes. Usually I spot the day before so I assume I'll start spotting one day in advance of af but not spotting yet.

 

[oneof14]

F'xd for you notoptomistic.

 

[Hopeful42nd]

Ash- fx, I hope you are please fly surprised on Monday morning if not tomorrow.

Oneof14- a faint line? Now I'm excited! Good luck! I really hope this is it and you don't need glasses, lol can't wait to see a pic of a positive!

Not optimistic- hmm, well i hope AF stays away for you and you get a chance to nervously test to find its a bfp!

 

[oneof14]

Hopeful - Thank you! I pray, and I have been having very crazy dreams lately. I also had several dreams last night wherein I got positive tests, so much so I woke this morning thinking they were true. I do however think the line was my imagination though, as I want it so badly and I totally believe this month is my month. But I am also realistic.

 

[DaisyQ]

Oneof14??? Faint line? I have everything crossed for you that you saw something for real. When are you testing again?

Notoptimistic, !!

Ash, hang in there... For me, a BFN is not a BFN until 14 DPO.

 

[oneof14]

Daisy, I'm not too excited as I think it was my mind. I don't think I am testing and rather going to wait for AF to show up next week. Oddly, I am not as nervous this month as I was the last 2. I think because i have in my head that I am doing IVF.

 

[DaisyQ]

Same here. Not nervous. More like.. curious? But not feeling too much about it either way.

I told my husband I'm assuming I'm out, and he got mad at me and said that I'm talking myself into being infertile - apparently all the men he's talking about this with have said "oh make sure your wife doesn't talk herself into being infertile!" And, "just be patient." Ugh.

I actually just lost it on DH earlier today over ex-wife issues. I hope I'm extra emotional for a reason.

 

[oneof14]

Sorry to hear about the argument!! MY DH told me the same thing, be positive "what's wrong with you thinking that way already" I told him I know my body.

I wanted to through my DH out of the car yesterday, no reason why he was just annoying the sh*t out of me. I am done trying to decipher can this be pg symptoms, the drugs or just me.. lol

Fx'd for you Daisy. How are you feeling otherwise, any symptons?

 

[DaisyQ]

Nope, no symptoms. I had WAY more symptoms last month, and pretty much every other momth to date. Not a single one!

 

[diliapickle]

So try three was a bust. Bfn this morning now have to decide one more IUI or straight to IVF.

 

[Hopeful42nd]

So sorry dilla good luck with that choice. Are you leaning one way or another?
It's really hard to decide that, but don't worry, your chances don't drop after 3rd IUI, it's just they feel it's good to recommend IVF at 3-4 failed IUI's.

 

[ashknowsbest]

Don't give up just yet. Also it's perfectly normal for it to take 3 tries, sometimes more. This is just your second try at IUI now right Ash? Don't give up so soon!

Yes, this is only my second try at IUI but we've been TTC for 17 months. Annoying!!!!!!! I'm pretty sure next cycle we'll try injectables and IUI instead of clomid IUI .... hmmmm maybe that will work? So I took a 2 hour walk with my OH and our dog through central park today and saw soooo many babies .. makes me so jealous! I hate that feeling .. I should be happy for those people because little do I know that some of them may have had issues conceiving just like me, but it's hard not to envy them and what they have!

 

[ashknowsbest]

Oh sorry ... 18 months now!

 

[diliapickle]

So sorry dilla good luck with that choice. Are you leaning one way or another?

Thanks hopeful. I lean towards one more IUI since that is a lot more affordable. We will see what doctor says this week though. I did injectables this time and he felt if that didn't work we needed IVF. But I think I would try one more injectable round with maybe a higher dose?

 

[daydream]

notoptimistic - FX!! I hope AF stays away!

oneof14 - yay for a faint line! When will you test again? My first BFP was SOOOO faint I thought I was seeing things, but the next day the FRER was clear as day. Vivid dreams sound promising!

DaisyQ - I got in a fight with my DH the night before my BFP.. While being super emotional isn't fun, I hope there's a positive test in your future.

AFM - I'm finally back home after being out of state for work since Tuesday. But DH had to go out of town to visit his dying grandpa in the hospital. Obviously a very sad time, but I cannot wait for him to get home! It's been a stressful/exciting/emotional week and I miss him so so much. I finally have a handle on my nerves, I can eat food again! So far, pg symptoms are just sore bbs, crazy dreams, and fatigue. I think the food aversions this week were from being so nervous for my results on Wednesday.

 

[daydream]

AMP - So sorry about your BFN! I hope the stronger meds this next cycle do the trick!

Ash - you're not out just yet. I hope you get a nice surprise tomorrow! FX!

 

[oneof14]

Daydream, I tested again today, albeit it was in the middle of the afternoon and with diluted urine, and it was a BFN, I feel out this month. Im going to enjoy my weekend and the beautiful weather we are having and try not to think about anything TTC related.

I am happy your DH will be home today. My DH travels an awful lot so I know how you feel.

 

[Hopeful42nd]

Ash- I know that feeling, it's ugly and makes you feel worse. I think your idea of moving to injections is good! It'll let you know how you respond to them before diving into IVF, give you better odds of things running smoothly if you have to go that route.
I really hope your wrong and just a later implanter.

 

[daydream]

Ash - oh and yes I think moving to injectibles is a good move. Obviously it worked for me
