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

[DaisyQ]

I'm sorry, Nicker. It's hard no matter how you slice it. Fx 11 dpo is still too early.

 

[jchic]

Dukers - you go for your scan tomorrow right? I am SUPERRRR excited for you

 

[BabyOnMyOwn]

Thank you all so much. I hope you are all right. I hope my gut feeling was right. I am so emotional and moody today. I want to cry for no reason. Heck I am crying as I type this.

I was talking to my sister last night and my sister said something to the effect of it's not like any of us have kids. She called me because she was worried about mom. Sometimes I feel like I am the one who is the parent since Dad died.

I wish I didn't understand how you feel, but I do. My dad passed away two years ago. Since my brother is married with a daughter and another on the way, I am the one who tends to do most things with my mom and have many times felt more like the parent than the child.

That said, I KNOW how hard this is to be doing by yourself especially with all the extra hormones running through your body. I have been a constant emotional basket case since I started this process last November. I just try to believe that it will all work out. Try not to worry. You still have a couple of days before you will know for sure either way.

 

[DaisyQ]

Thanks jchickie. Scan is on Wednesday, and I'm excited but dreading the long day (5am-9:30 pm). Brutal.

oneof14- they grow approximately 2mm a day

nicker- fingers crossed for you. *hugs* im so sorry you are stressing. wait til tomorrow. i know how you feel, within a 5 minute period i vary between thinking itll happen and that itll never happen

Nicker- what day is AF due? You may not test pos till then. Some don't implant till up to 12dpo. I hear you about the feeling like the parent. At least my sister is as well so we share that burden. It's with both parents, my dad was an alcoholic for years until a few years back he was diagnosed with diabeties, he quit. He has a bipolar condition as well. My mother had been deteriorating since they split. She has fibromayalgia and can't keep up with her own apartment. It's so frustrating at times they both make their situations out to be utterly hopeless when all they really need to do is get up and do something small for the day.
Anyways enough of that sob story.
Positivity is hard to keep up with with hormones running amuck. Just keep that in mind another couple days you will know one way or the other.

 

[Nicker]

I have no idea about AF. Before drugs and progesterone I had a 24 day cycle. Last time I didn't get AF until 2 days after I stopped progesterone. I stopped that 14dpiui once I got negative beta. So that was a 33 day cycle.

I hate how my one sister asks me to go spend time with mom and days we think will be hard for her (like I wasn't already going to be doing that on my own) and then thanks me "for doing that for me". Wtf? My sister in California seems to appreciate what it is like for me and thanks me and acknowledges how hard it must be.

 

[Hopeful42nd]

Do they test you at 14 dpiui or later? That would be weird not to know when AF would come. I think 14 is pretty standard to find out but 12 maybe you'll get something.
As for your sister asking you to do that with your mom. It prob makes her feel better since she isn't able to or willing to make the effort. Weird shed make the comment about kids though.

 

[DaisyQ]

Nicker, I know that every fertility specialist is different, and recommends waiting a different number of days before testing and stopping the progesterone. Mine makes me wait 16 dpo before testing (hpt or beta) and stopping the progesterone. Will you be taking a hpt on 14 dpo or a beta?

 

[Nicker]

Man my big thumbs are annoying. I keep unsubscribing to threads and giving thank you instead of replying.

I do 14 day beta.

Icing on my cake today. Got an email sent to all staff announcing that a collegue's wife is 3 months pregnant.

I have beta at 14dpiui.

My sister said that because my mom is obsessed about not spending money so we get more when she dies and I am always telling her, as did my sister yesterday, that we don't need her money and that she shall live her life and buy what she wants. My sister said since none of us have kids there is something wrong if we can't support ourselves. She said Kidd are expensive. None the less I should be able to support a kid too. Which is why I can't spend it all getting knocked up.

 

[Nicker]

Okay. I am stopping by the pharmacy on my way home to pick up another frer or two. MAYBE I am not out yet. As hopeful reminded me, my own gut feeling said today would be negative. Maybe my over emotional state today is a good sign.

 

[Nicker]

Hopeful do you use the 10miu or 20miu ics?

 

[Hopeful42nd]

20 I believe, they worked fine for me but it wasn't a dark line on it even at 14 dpiui. I stopped testing then cause I did bloodwork 15 dpiui to confirm. Have not tested since but now I'm tempted to see if it'll come up dark!

Oh and I was crazy emotional at 10 and 11 days post IUI.
Good luck!

Nicker - it is still early.....and most hpts measure at 50miu/ml anyway, check the package - most of them do not post the sensitivity. follow the link i attached.
Your body may just be producing the hcg slow and the test is not sensitive enough to pick up yet.

afm- i poas twice today. what can i say, i'm weak! I'm 9dptrigger today. I did a 10miu/ml again today and the line is still there. I did another test that is 40miu/ml (the regular dollar store ones) and there is NO line.
Is it possible that the trigger and real hcg surge may, by some miracle, overlap?

 

[froliky2011]

Nicker -I was a wreck the night of 11dpo when I got my BFP the next day. I had the same thoughts and was stressing a lot. I hope you get a BFP! Sorry about the unnecessary family drama. You are more emotional than normal due to the stress of wondering what the final verdict is. It's like you have a drum roll for days which seems like forever and just annoying limbo/anticipation. Breathe & Believe (that is what my acupuncturist says).

 

[diliapickle]

Nicker - It is still early! I hope you see a BFP soon! As others have said some do not even show up until 14DP) and I had a friend who did not see a pos HPT until a week 21DPO! She just produced the HCG slower and is now 20 weeks along with a very healthy baby! So do not give up yet!

Adroplet - I have heard cases that people tried to test out trigger but instead they just got a pos the whole time because the trigger ended but then their own HCG had kicked in from baby so it is possible!

I hope we ALL see our BFPs soon!!

You should pee on one. I wouldn't be surprised if those suckers are still light.

A light line or a dark line.................nonetheless, still a +

11dpo nothin' on a frer. Statistically only 21% of frers give a false negative at 11dpo. So much for feeling optimistic. I am bummed right out and angry with myself. I know you have to be positive but I set myself up for disappointment. I was really optimistic though. I wasn't trying to be I just really was and I couldn't explain why. I didn't really symptom spot. I swore at the progesterone often.

I'll take one more kick at this cat and then I think I am done.

Take the time you need, Nicker. I totally understand your disappointment but you were right to be positive. If nothing else, I am sure it has helped your TWW go by faster. I have my fingers crossed that you still get your BFP
