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

[Chiles]

I was a little disappointed but looking at the bright side of the situation I can't complain. And thinking ahead of all the money we will save! lol. Unless its a girl...Before I got pregnant I use to love going to look in the baby section, but now I can barely stand it...because I dont know what I am having yet. No more blabbing for now. I have an u/s next week to hear the baby heart beat

 

[fertilesoul]

Congrats Chiles. Singleton pregnancies are safer at least -- less likely for preterm delivery. Congrats!!! Can't wait for more updates

 

[L4hope]

Chiles it is a shock but so exciting that you have a little one in there!!

 

[singleTTC78]

miss_f > That is great numbers!!!!!! Awesome being a January baby!!!

ash > Injectables seems to work better overall, fx'd it brings your bfp!!!!!! Sorry about the positive on the disorder but fx'd OH is negative!

Blue eyes > I would push for a combination cycle, so low clomid with injections but also low.

dillia > having a month or two off is wonderful on the body. If I was you will relax for June and then in July start with getting your body and ultimately your eggies it tip top condition.

chiles > I love seeing so many pregnancy tickers in the IUI thread, things are definitely looking up!

BabyOnMyOwn > It is hard and I know how you feel, but we will get there. Fx'd for #4!!!!!!!!!!!!!

L4Hope > I hear you on the birthday party side, I had one also the weekend after my failed IVF it was heartbreaking but I just kept to the adults and enjoyed my drink.

fertiles > Happy 20 weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are half way!!! When is your gender scan?

AFM > I went for my follow-up IVF appointment, all about it in my journal

 

[BabyOnMyOwn]

Babyonmyown, it's hard not to feel a little jealous when you've been trying for so long. I'm battling with going to our friends first birthday party for their son. Of course the party is two days after my bloodwork for thus cycle. Obviously if it's positive I'll be fine, but if not I'm not sure I'll bd able to go and not cry! Anyways...glad to hear your cyst isn't getting in the way with moving forward this month!!

Yes, it is hard. Seems like everyone I know these days is either pregnant or just had a baby. Since I started TTC I have planned and hosted 3 baby showers and gone to my "nephew's" 1st birthday and along with a 2nd birthday for a friend. I am SO happy for all of them and love seeing the babies, but it is hard. FX's your bloodwork will be positive!!

YAY Chile on one good healthy growing baby! So happy for you

I go in tonight for IUI # 2. I'm nervous and excited but to be honest, I'm sill a little down about only one egg. Plus, my mom has been making me doubt this whole thing. Every time I try to talk about it with her, she says the same thing "I think you're going to get pregnant naturally". My DH and I plan on taking off in July and August if we're still not pregnant by then as my brother is getting married in May 2013 and I am in the wedding. So she keeps saying that I'm going to get pregnant then and be 8 or 9 months pregnant for the wedding. I can't explain to her enough how disheartening this is to hear over and over again. Well, of course when I talked to her this morning she said it again. I feel like she's jinxing me

AMP - Good luck with the IUI today! I hope this is it for you! FX!
I do feel you about your mom as well. I finally told my mom since we are now doing IVF and it is been over a year so I shared. And she said I don't know why you put drugs in your body as it will just happen naturally. I tried to explain that we tried natural for quite some time and that didn't do it so we need help but she didn't want to listen. She thinks that now they we have to take a break to save for IVF it will happen. I hope she is right (though hearing I told you so would get annoying!) but knowing what we have heard it sounds like we need the IVF.

 

[fertilesoul]

Tella -- I saw all your RE updates -- what a great doc you have! I'm so glad he is tweaking your plan to make it more tailored to your body. I have so much hope for you to have your March baby!

And thanks for thinking of me. I had my anatomy scan this week and its a healthy boy!

 

[angels2012]

Congrats Chiles!!! You can devote all your love and attention to the baby! My RE doesn't like to see multiples. She wants us to enjoy having one baby at a time.

So I went in for IUI #2 part A last night DH did a good job with his part and we had 300 million pre-wash and wound up with 76 mil post wash. My doctor had a little bit of trouble with my "twisty" cervix, but he got them all in I was cramping in the waiting room before the IUI so I'm really hoping i O'ed either right then or soon after. I have IUI #2 part B tonight just as a precaution. FX this one works, if not we'll be moving on to injectibles next cycle then taking two months off. The girls I work with at my second job are calling the possible baby chicken little and I would love to be able to go in in two weeks and tell them that chicken little is real! They have been such a huge support to me and other than my Bnb pals, they have been my biggest cheerleaders.

Good luck to everyone else in the TWW or getting ready for the next cycle. I can't wait until we all have our BFP's

I would love to get pregnant naturally! But would totally hate to hear I told you so for the rest of my life! It seems that no matter how many times I tell her that I do not regulary ovulate on my own, she just doesn't get it!!! Her other big advice is to not BD so much she's good for that one at least once a week!

 

[L4hope]

Amp good luck this month, hope it works for you. Then you can say I told you so to your mom! Unfortunately I think too many people just are uneducated about infertility and give advice anyways.

Afm, I had my appointment this morning. I only had one follie ready to go on the right, which kinda bummed me out. I was hoping to have two or three. The ultrasound tech said it only takes one good one, not three or four bad ones. So hopefully all the meds went in to making that one follie perfect for fertilizing! Once I get bloodwork back to confirm if I'm surging on my own or not I will get my game plan for the weekend.

 

[ashknowsbest]

Just a little update ... I went in for ultrasound and b/w today and I have 3 follicles that are 8 9 and 10mm and I'm only CD 7, I started my medication on CD 4 so I'd say things are looking good at the moment ... I'm waiting on OH's results of his genetic test to see if he's a carrier for CF like I am before we move forward because if he is positive we have a 1 in 4 chance of having a child with CF and we do not want to risk that so ... if he comes back a carrier we won't be moving forward with this IUI we'll just be moving onto IVF.

I have a gut feeling he's not a carrier but we won't know anything for sure until the results come back and they were supposed to rush them so I hope to hear back sometime next week ... hopefully by wednesday because I'm sure that's around the time when they're going to want to do the IUI.

that's all for now, I hope everyone is doing good!

 

[oneof14]

Ash, I am also a carrrier of CF, luckily my DH is not. Good luck this month, I am sure everything will be fine w/your OH and this will be your BFP month!!!!

 

[ashknowsbest]

oneof14 - it makes me feel good knowing that I'm not the only one whose a carrier ... I find it scary that I am a carrier though!

 

[daydream]

AMP yay for a good IUI! Sounds like the timing was perfect!

L4 - your dr is right. Just need one good strong one. GL!

Ash - glad the follies are responding so well! When do you find out DH's results?

 

[ashknowsbest]

daydream - I'm not sure exactly when we're going to have his results but the nurse siad she was going to rush is results and he had the blood drawn yesterday so hopefully by wednesday next week because i'm pretty sure that's when the insem is going to happen ...

 

[oneof14]

It is scary!! I am also a fragile X carrier, and a carrier of some sort of blood clotting disorder (forgot the name). My DH is not a carrier for anything. I have 29 nieces and nephews and none of them have CF, I know someone of my brothers and sisters must be carriers as well. Guess they never knew, since they didnt have any fertility issues.

I am sure everything will work-out, yay for good follie count!

 

[ashknowsbest]

My mom said the same thing to me about nobody in our family having CF .. I read that the chances of someone carrying CF is 1 in 29 in caucasians so I think we'll be fine ... FX'd! That's all I can do for now!
