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

[fertilesoul]

Good luck to all those gearing up for IVF -- the odds are in your favor

AMP: Oh dear, so sorry about the outcome of the ectopic. I hope you are recovering well. I'm glad your docs are recommending IVF -- soon this roller-coaster ride will be over.

Daydream: Wow what an awesome maternity leave. Sounds great!

Hopeful: We are doing well. Fluid levels will be checked every 3 weeks. At this point my fluid status will only affect my chances of a vbac which I am ok with -- if my OB thinks my chances for rupture are high then I will happily have a scheduled section.... Glad to hear you are feeling good these days. Did you have your first baby on time, late or early? My first came exactly on his due date (2 days after my first membrane sweep).

 

[Blue eyes 81]

Amp - so sorry you went through that.
Can't wait to hear all about your Ivf journey so exciting.
Ash- Glad your back. I have my fxd that this iui brings you your bfp.

 

[ashknowsbest]

10dpiui bfn. I'm not really disappointed because I didn't think it worked but I know it's still early too. So now I'm just going to wait for AF to get here and if she doesn't show I'll test again and go from there.

 

[L4hope]

So sorry for what you've gone through amp! Hopefully IVF will go smoothly and bring on your bfp!

Ash I'm sure it's very frustrating to feel stuck b/c of insurance regulations. Still hopeful IUI will work for you!

Looks like quite a few IVF rounds starting soon! Good luck to all!!

Afm, just had my first IVF cycle ending in bfn. It's been extremely disheartening this week. And to make the week worse, my husbands grandmother has been put on morphene and moved to a hospice this week. It's been an emotionally draining week for sure. I'm just trying to stay positive and look towards my next step..FET.

 

[Hopeful42nd]

Good to hear fertil hope things go fine for you though.
L4hope- so sorry about the IVF bfn also dealing with the drawn out process of loss is so difficult. I hope she doesn't suffer if this is her time.
Ash- just keep up with life, if it's bfp, then yeah! If not then on to the next step.

 

[fertilesoul]

How is everyone doing these days?

 

[Hopeful42nd]

Forgot to answer u last time fertil. With my boy I went into labor day after edd(water broke)he was born by c sec the following day. Not sure whatll happen this time but being attempting TOL for VBAC we have to let things happen natural again.

 

[daydream]

I'm doing well, enjoying the second tri. Baby just keeps on getting bigger (as do I!)

Hopeful - how much longer do you have now?

 

[ashknowsbest]

I just noticed I didn't update you girls .. or I'm pretty sure I didn't. BFN so right now I'm on day 3 of injectables ... go in tomorrow morning for an ultrasound/bloodwork. Just trying to get this last IUI done before moving onto IVF. Pretty relaxed about the whole thing, I'm just doing what the doctors tell me and not worrying too much about the outcome. I started my job today It feels so good to have a job and my own money again .. although my OH isn't greedy and gives me money whenever I ask it's really nice to be able to just have my own and not have to rely on him! And it's a nannying job so I get to be with this little 2 year old girl named Penelope all day and it's pretty much awesome! I can't wait to be a mom!

 

[Hopeful42nd]

Ash- good way to look at things this last IUI, just relax and see what happens, and enjoy a little gal to occupy your time
Daydream- good to hear 2nd tri is treating your well. I have till oct 7th or hopefully sooner I'm 34 weeks on Sunday!

Gonal F is a great drug...Hopefully you won't need IVF after this cycle Tons of

And Its glad to see all of you other ladies are doing well. I have not been on this thread in forever.

Well Good Luck to everyone!!!

 

[ashknowsbest]

well i've been on gonal F 2 times already ... so we'll see what happens!

 

[daydream]

GL Ash, rooting for you! I'm glad you aren't too stressed about this cycle.

 

[L4hope]

Hopeful I can't believe you're so close to your due date! It seems to have flown by. I'm sure you're getting anxious to meet your little one!! Are you all moved into your new house, I can't remember when that was happening for you.

Ash I'm glad you're on your last mandatory IUI before IVF. But hopefully this will do the trick for you and you won't have to worry about it. Sounds like the new job is great and I'm sure nannying a two year old keeps you busy and will make the time fly!

Afm, moving on to the next step...FET. The protocol is pretty easy. The only thing I'm dreading is pio shots twice a day...ouch!! But as with every other step along the way, I know I'll do what I have to do.

 

[notoptimistic]

L4hope - ill be joining you doing a FET!

 

[L4hope]

So sorry to hear that notoptomistic!! I completely feel your pain girl! How amazing though that you have 13 frozen blasts! I wish I had a few more. How many are you going to transfer for your fet? Do you have a date yet?

 

[fertilesoul]

l4hope and notoptimistic: wishing you the best on your fets!

chiles: are you going to find out your baby's sex this month?

ash: i'm happy to hear you are placing your trust in your docs. hope this cycle will be the charm.

hopeful: eeek! the weeks are fast approaching. our due dates are pretty close, considering that neither of us have a history of very early or very late labor. My OB said he'll start doing cervical checks at 36 weeks and start weekly sweeps at 39 weeks so I'm kinda getting excited about TOL for VBAC as well.

 

[Hopeful42nd]

Fertil- I just hope it won't last forever, I'd be happy with going into labor a week early
L4hope- I hope everything goes wonderfully for your fet! Shots are never fun when it's so many but it's all for the worthwhile cause. We need to see more of you getting your BFP's!
I move this coming Saturday, get the keys Friday. Saturday new appliances are being delivered too!

 

[diliapickle]

Hopeful- good luck with the move!

L4 & not - good luck with FET I have my FX this brings you your bfp!

Ash - hoping this iui does the trick and you don't have to worry about ivf!

AFM - cd2 and heading in for my baseline bloodwork to start ivf!

 

[L4hope]

Thanks hopeful. I agree we need some more bfps so hopefully soon we will! Oh wow, I bet you are so excited for your move! Hope all goes smoothly for you this weekend.

Dilia you've been so patient and now you are finally on your way with IVF!
