[Step Mummy]

Ah AMP, I am so sorry, I can't believe how tough it must be to have gotten so far.

My love and thoughts are with you. xxx

 

[Hopeful42nd]

Stepmummy- you got your bfp on my birthday have you had betas done?

Amp- I hope you are okay. Life can be so unfair to those of us already struggling. Your time for things to fall into place will come, and you will appreciate it that much more. Lots of love and kind thoughts.

Dr squid- how are a & b doing?

 

[Tella]

[sandlin]

So sorry amp can't even imagine how it must b fr u, praying for you. I had taken a break from TTC after 3 failed iui ...now I am on day 28 of my cycle no af usually I have 26 day cycle. Took a home test negative. May the previous hormones and medicines r playing in my body...l4hope hows IVF goin on ...amn where r yo guess having a good break

 

[drsquid]

Hopeful- oddly I'm good. Makes me glad I can scan cause otherwise I'd worry. Occasional queasy but otherwise good. Not even as tired. Had spotting a few times (just brown no red and expected it this time as I saw a small bleed). How are you?

 

[AMP26]

Thank you for all the kind words ladies! I have read them over and over and they provide so much comfort. We are still waiting for the methotrexate to work. As of Monday, my beta numbers had continued to rise and were almost at 5000. I had another blood draw today so we are hoping they fell at least 15%. If not, I'll have to get a second shot. That is probably the toughest part of all of this... Knowing that technically I am still pregnant. But hubby and I have talked and decided to not pursue any more fertility treatments until after the new year. I need time to heal mentally and physically! But I will be lurking around cheering you all on!!!

 

[Hopeful42nd]

Amp- I hope this doesn't drag out much longer for you.

Drsquid- I'm okay, hitting the rough part, third tri. Starting to feel huge and a bit down. I'm so tired again and know its only gonna get worse. My toddler is testing and getting wild he keeps me moving that's for sure. Got his docs visit (18 month) tomorrow and mine Aug 2nd.

 

[Step Mummy]

Stepmummy- you got your bfp on my birthday have you had betas done?


Hi Hopefuly - funnily enough it was the day after my birthday!!! So happy birthday to both us last week!

It would seem we don't do betas here, I have my scan booked for 10th Aug, which will be 7 weeks and one day! I can't wait to know it is all ok and everything where it should be, I am so attached already it love it to bits!

 

[Hopeful42nd]

Great birthday present! Happy belated and can't wait to hear all is well for your ultrasound.

Hi Girls, sorry for butting in on your post but you gals being the experts:

I am cd 9 today and my dominant folly is 15 by 18. I am unmedicaed. The clinic got me to trigger at 5pm today for IUI tomorrow afternoon. so that the sperm is there waiting for my egg.

Is cd10 very early to get IUI. (is it possible to ov so early)Ive never ov so early usually.

Is 24 hours very early to get IUI after the trigger?

They do not go by the CD day they go by follicle size when telling you when
to trigger. And I believe iui 24 hrs after trigger is actually quite common.
Good luck!

 

[WANBMUM]

Thanks blue eyes. I think I'm just in shock it has all happened so fast, I was over worrying she read my scan wrong thinking it couldn't possibly b that size already.
I need to chillax.
Thanks again

 

[Hopeful42nd]

Wanbmum- the opinions vary widely as to what timing should be used with IUI. The goal is to have the IUI timed by 6hours either side of when you ovulate. Every woman is different when they ovulate naturally or after a trigger shot. Personally I was 36 hours post trigger (standard for my clinic) and I O'd at 37, plus I'm preggers so it worked.

 

[WANBMUM]

Thanks hopeful and CONGRATS!!
how do you know for sure when you ovulate after IUI, how did you know it was 37 hours?

 

[Hopeful42nd]

Cause I felt it, it was pretty strong and painful.

 

[WANBMUM]

Cool. That was perfect timing! Clearly. After the trigger my whole uterus area just feels tender so I don't trust what I feel. Hopefully 2nd iui is a lucky one for me also.
Thanks again for your reply

 

[Hopeful42nd]

It can be deceiving the tenderness and cramping you may feel from your IUI if any air gets in. I was able to tell the difference based on the location of what I felt. It was by my ovaries, and did not last too long, then I had the lingering cramping and bloating from the IUI. I hope the timing works for you. If it doesn't work and you think you may be O'ing later you could always request they change the timing or do double IUI.

OMG it's been awhile since anyone has updated. How is everyone doing this week?

I just had my 8th scan showing I'm measuring large for dates because of unexplained polyhydramnios which pretty much guarantees me several more ultrasounds.
