IUI March anyone?

[Springy]

Touch the Sky - my beta test is wednesday morning. I am so dreading it!!!!! I am just overwhelmed with a fear of diappointment.

Lurdes - I actually had two IUIs this cycle, one at 12 hours and one at 36 hours. We also did the deed three times after that just for good luck 983298394809284 million sperm - you think ONE would find its way LOLOL!!

My my beta is wednesday too - however I feel like af might come before then!

We had a combination of 97 million sperm - seriously how can one not find the egg?!! I'm totally frustrated right now!

I dont think AF will come for me before my beta. The last two stimulated cycles, it came the day AFTER, of course. I asked this time to just wait out my period instead of coming in for the beta, and they said ok. Then they said come in Wed so in case there is a pregnancy they can check progesterone. If I get a BFN wed a.m at home, I think I will cancel beta. Its really hard for me to get the call at work (they always call a few hours after beta) that its a BFN. Last time I had to immediately leave, I could not control my emotions.

Anywayy,,, BEST OF LUCK!!!!!!

Miss Jennifer I am doing the same thing as you - if I get a BFN tomorrow AM at home I am not going in for the beta. If no AF by Thursday AM then I will go in for the beta. I am normally like clockwork and am 14 days from "o" to big red so in theory it should appear today since I "o" 14 days ago .... Keep all you ladies posted and Fx'd crossed for all of us who are testing this week!!!

 

[Touch the Sky]

Fx'd for you springy!!

Ok ladies I know I said I wasnt going to obsess this tww but I have. So my question is this...i took trigger on the tues @ 12am and did iui the thurs 3/24....my cycle is 25 days so that means af is due mon 4/4 making my luteal phase just 12 days! Isnt that too short? I see all of you talking about waiting until 14dpiui to test...

The average woman starts her menstrual cycle 14 days past ovulation. The IUI's are scheduled the day of ovulation (normally) therefore testing would occur 14 days past IUI/or Ovulation.

Hope that helps.

will ovidrel give a false positive LH test?

i know they do give false PG tests because it IS the pg hormone, but i wondered if it gave false LH surge results too.

anyone?

our injection yesterday wasnt as smooth as we had hoped, my husband panicked when we couldn't get the air bubble out of the tube and he was wasting many drops of the liquid. we fought, i said just do it, he said no there is air, i said who cares it isnt going into a vein, we fought more and then... i finally just jabbed it in lol. the nurse called us right after we finished the shot to tell us it was fine to have a bit of air in it since it wasnt going into a vein( SCORE FOR ME!) . she also gave us the best trick to get it out with out wasting any next time.

im still worried we wasted too much of the shot for it to work, but that bubble was really big and refused to budge. All regular means of getting it out werent working and each try made us drip more out.

anyhow, that pandemonium is over, we survived, but i did take an OPK this afternoon and it nearly instantly was positive - a first ever in 6 years( so excited i took a picture!). so im wondering if the surge is a genuine +ve, or ovidrel related. having IUI regardless tomorrow, but just curious. ill be taking another LH test tonight and tomorrow to see if it fades.

Yes, ovidrel will give you a VERY strong line on an OPK test.

My last IUI I did the ovidrel shot myself at 2am in the morning. I was so tired, I stumbled out of bed, got it out of the frig and jabbed it into my stomach. A few seconds later I totally freaked out because I thought "Oh crap, I didn't take the air out of the needle". I freaked out so bad, I passed out cold on the floor. Oh well ... tee hee ... life's lessons

Anyhow, to answer your question: a very strong YES ovidrel will always give you a + on an OPK.

 

[CanAmFam]

thanks!
do you think it will remain positive or fade like a regular LH test would over time from a surge. it was actually so strong that i had to go and look at the instructions again on the test to see which was the control line. hah. Sorry to read of your recent MC and thank you for the information

It's much like a pregnancy test ... The OPK should remain really dark for a few days (probably 4-5 days). Or at least that's my experience with them. All the things you learn when TTC ... useless facts for the general public but for us it's like the bible of good knowledge.

I have used Ovidrel and Pregnyl, both yielded the same + on an OPK. The good news with Ovidrel, it has a success rate of ovulation of 92% as long as you have mature follicles. I wouldn't worry about "not" ovulating because you will

I am buying another cheapy test tonight...will test in the am....if bfn then I am stopping the progesterone so I can move on to the next cycle within a week or so.....Good Luck to Those awaiting to test!!!

 

[CanAmFam]

thanks for all of the help PCOSM21, i hope to never be well versed in how things work on this end but it always helps when experienced folks share information! i did take another tonight and it was also a super positive. we go in in a 'few' hours for everything to be done and i cant help but be excited for all of this to finally be happening. id love to avoid ever being on all of the medications i have been for the last 4 months.

im sort of excited to see my husbands numbers tomorrow. i hope i can get a peek. his numbers were blech in the fall. we have both been sick of and on the last 3 months with fevers etc, so i hope that hasnt ruined things on his side!

Thank you again for all of your help. i truly appreciate it. Caring people like you make this site so awesome for so many!

Hang in there!! Have you been for a beta test or are you relying only on HPTs?

In the TWW forum there were several women who didn't get a positive on an HPT till 5 weeks. Don't give up yet!

 

[Hoping1986]

Good Luck CanAmFam! This could be ur lucky month!

 

[Springy]

Miss Jennifer - how are you hanging in there? Good luck tomorrow morning. Fx'd for both of us that we get our BFP.

31andTrying - good luck tomorrow for you too!

Sending lots of baby dust to everyone.

I am willing to help anytime! I hate to see anyone go through all the pain I have gone through. For almost 7 years I thought I would never be a mom, I used to cry myself to sleep --- begging and pleading with God to let me have a baby. Finally my prayers were answered ... and my daughter is better than I could have ever imagined. I can tell you this ... I appreciate her SOOO much and now I know God just needed some extra time to make her extra perfect

I hope you get your BFP real soon!!!! Just pray and keep your chin up (which is so hard to do!) The reward is priceless!

 

[tryforbaby2]

Thanks Springy! I always have to miss an hour of work every single week to go to the RE for bloodwork, or iui or an exam, etc.....so I feel if I get a negative now I will just stop the progesterone as to not hold off my period, but I can see what you mean about others not getting a positive til after af is due.....I am so stuck in my ways! Last year with my MC I started getting positives at 8dpo.....

 

[Springy]

Im lucky the fertility clinic is right by my office and opens at 7am everyday so I just go in before I head into the office.

I didn't use an HPT this morning but no sign of Big Red so I went for the beta this morning and results will be in between 1 and 4pm EST. Everyone keep their fingers and toes crossed for me!!!!

 

[HuskyMomWI]

Fingers crossed for you Springy....

 

[HuskyMomWI]

dang it! dang it! dang it!!!! we're out. Big Red appeared. Damn it! Amazing how you can feel symptoms that aren't there.

Hi,

Just found this thread and wondered whether could join in, i had my iui done the saturday just gone, so go for bloods on the 9th April. the tww is killing me, and i am obsessing about whether ovulated and the timing of it all, i never used to be a worrier until TTC.

To all of you waiting for your bloods i really hope you get a BFP. Good luck x

NO!!!!! That is so frustrating. Keep your spirits up and think about April as being your lucky month.
