IUI March anyone?

[HuskyMomWI]

I am exactly one week from the day of the IUI. This week went pretty quick until about wednesday night. Now starting to obsess. Can't figure out if it is better to not get my hopes up to just be let down - or if thinking positive may help. what a mind game this fertility stuff is Not really any symptoms yet. I think I have imagined some but not sure they were real. For the cramping - I had MAJOR cramping the night of my IUI. I wasn't sure what that meant either. Thought maybe it was ovulation happening because I have never had ovulation cramps before.

I have to say my first half of my tww always goes fast too, but then I start to obsess! Maybe the medicine caused you to feel ovulation!

I usually have terrible Ovulation cramps for one-two days....day before O and day of.

As far as thinking positive or not thinking positive goes, I'd say to 'try' to think positive until you know for sure either way. There is no use for any of us to think negative, even if we just know it's not our month. I personally would rather just be happy and enjoy myself until the end of the tww. IF she shows, I have a good cry, and by CD2, I fill my clomid prescription and try to get positive again!!!

Good Luck and Baby Dust to You!

Ok girls - I am a total nerd. I REALLY want to go for a run. I am feeling like a schlump. I just did an OPK and have no idea why. It is positive which I suppose is wierd. test line is just about or as dark as the control. Not sure if it means anything. I WANT THIS WEEK TO BE OVER! Don't want to wish my life away just want to know. And watching TV where a girl is having quads on first IUI so now panic sets in lol = I have become a crazy person

[HuskyMomWI]

[Touch the Sky]

so i tested yesterday and it was a big fat no . I was 4-5 days away from my period so i guessed i convinced myself to try. Big downer, but i realize that until I get Big Red i won't know for sure.

31andtrying - I agree with you I have completely gone to the crazy side. My friend gave me this website which makes fun of infertility and this posting makes me laugh and i can relate to it! If you have time you will have to read it.

That website made my evening! Because of course I pee'd on an OPK tonight and it was negative ... there was a faint line but negative. Now I know that this probably means nothing but still - wasn't really what I wanted to see!

And to boot I feel so bloated, gross and fat from being lazy for almost two weeks .... not sure that I can be this lazy next month if I do IUI!

least there is a faint line - that can be promising! I know exactly what you are talking about - i have been so lazy this month. Next month for sure will be different - I need to get myself out of this rut!

I know I need to remain positive but since I have no symptoms its tough to stay positive. I try to remind myself of my sister and two coworkers who had NO idea they were pregnant because they had NO symptoms .... I need to cling to that for a few more days!

I hope someone can make sense of my todays appointment - Clomid 4-8, today CD11, 3 follies - 18, 12, 12 and bunch of smaller ones. Dr says to trigger tomorrow and IUI on Tuesday - he says 12 and 12 will grow to 14mm at the time of IUI and will release mature egg. My question, which I only thought of after I left - why not trigger on Tuesday and IUI on Wednesday, to make SURE that 12 and 12 are grown properly?

please share your thoughts....

I was told when I had mine that they didn't want them to get "too mature" as if they get to that point they won't fertilize because they are what they call "hyper mature" .... they probably would prefer them to be slightly smaller than too large.

Hope that helps. They triggered with me when mine was 20mm but I only had the one - even with clomid!

 

[tansey]

I would have prefered to wait for the other 2 to get to at least 16mm and risk losing the big one.

I know doctors trigger according to your lead/dominant follicle. My doctor considers mature follicles anything over 18mm. I did my trigger when my lead follicle reached 20mm. You could possibly stretch your trigger date to Tuesday .. which will give those other two follicles time to make it to 18mm by Wednesday. I would give them a call and ask, it's your money, time and emotions. At least get their opinion on your concerns, I know I would

Good luck!!!! hope you get your

 

[lurdes777]

Tank you for your thoughts. I spoke w dr again, he said one small follie was 12.5 and should be 14.5 by tomorrow and 16.5 by the time of ovulation. So he insisted i trigger tomorrow and iui on Tuesday.

Tested this morning at 10dpo with fmu.....bfn......ugh!

How is everyone else making out in the 2ww???

 

[HuskyMomWI]

I also broke down and tested this AM AT 10DPO and BFN. Shouldn't have tested. At least I was more hopeful before the test. I tested using OPK the past few days after getting a positive but now the test line is getting lighter and lighter. Don't know what is going on there. I had the surge earlier this month(day before IUI) Now my mind is racing thinking maybe I didn't really ovulate then and just did now and missed it...

 

[Miss Jennifer]

tested at 9dpo this morning and bfn. i didnt think it would affect me because its so early, but its amazing how painful that negative is, even when early. i am weepy and hopeless at work right now. i am so scared of another letdown followed by another month of birth control followed by another attempt to get insurance to approve IVF and...i am just really down.
