IUI March anyone?

[Touch the Sky]

I have one more question.. how often do you test OPK? Once a day? Twice?

 

[jappygirl76]

I always tested twice a day just to make sure that I didnt miss my surge. Once around 10am, then again when I got home from work at around 6pm.

Hello everyone,

How are we all doing this Thursday? It is almost Friday

CD7 here I started OPK today. I know it's early but I've been having discharge and pains, so better safe than sorry!

Has anyone used the clearblue digital OPK? Mine was negative this morning, but when I pulled the test stick out there was a faint 2nd line. Does this mean it's coming?

I honestly do not like the Clearblu7e Digital OPK since I had 2 faulty testers. At least Clearblue sent me out 2 more boxes of sticks and testers. I prefer to see the 2 lines then waiting for the smiley face.

If you see the faint 2nd line it means it is coming

Just had a doctor appointment today on CD11 and it looks like i have 2 eggs that are 11mm in size which maybe the clomid helped with, but my lining is a bit thin still. I go back on monday to see how much more the eggs have grown and they will also be giving me a HCG Trigger shot and schedule my first IUI on Tuesday. SOOOO Excited! Anyone else have a HCG shot? The nurse said they hurt, but have a minimum side effects - anyone else have side effects?

This is the first dr. appointment that i didn't have horrible news and sat in my car after crying.

Bring on the IUI ha ha.

So glad to hear that you received some good news and there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Just FYI, I did have the HCG shot duing the last IUI cycle and this one and it didnt hurt. Where are you supposed to be injecting yourself? I think that makes a difference, mine was in the belly.

Thanks Jappy! The HCG shot will be given to be by the nurse on Monday and it sounds like it will be injected in my high thigh or my behind!! Do you have any side effects since it is a hormone? Either way if it helps launch my eggs ill to it!

 

[tansey]

Jappy I see you had a sexy dip today!

Mallow - the injection doesn't hurt at all and there is no need for them to do it in your bum! I have had mine in the thigh and tummy using my injector pen and neither really hurt.

Touch - I luv the digi ones and a faint line could mean that it is building up. I used to do mine between 11am-2pm. to expebsive twice a day.

Good luck to everyone else this March

 

[jappygirl76]

Tansey you are soooooo funny, a sexy dip, LOL

I dont remember any real side effects, except that the night after the shot I was getting nauseous a lot, but once I laid down I felt better.

Oh, and I had some trouble sleeping for a couple of nights after the shot. Now that I think about it, maybe I was jsut really anxious about the IUI's!!

Hello everyone,

How are we all doing this Thursday? It is almost Friday

CD7 here I started OPK today. I know it's too early, but I've been having the discharge and pains so I figured better safe than sorry

Is anyone using the clearblue digital OPK? I've seen links to other cheaper strips, but I wasn't sure if I'd be able to read the lines correctly.. I got this OPK for $25 on amazon.com (no tax, free shipping) and it comes with 20 strips. I got a negative on the digital and when I pulled out the stick, there was a faint 2nd line.. does this mean it's coming? hmm...

If you are having the discharge and such then I say start opking! You most likely will always have a faint second line, I always do anyway. I get a really strong dark second line when its my surge! It's so exciting to see the smiley! I always use those but this time I am using answer brand dipstick tests to see if I can see my line 'hopefully - gradually' get darker. I want to trick my RE into giving me my IUI the day of my positive opk. 9 out of 10 times I O the same day as my positive and last month they did my IUI the day after my positive. What a waste of money! Oh yea, and once I hit CD11...I test 2x a day!

very happy you had good news! now let's hope those 2 little eggies cooperate!

don't know about the shot, but I start injections of some kind next cycle if this one doesn't work.


CD7 for me today. Trying to have fun with it all this cycle!



Good Luck to us all!

Sending you lots of positive vibes!!!

I had the trigger shot last month and the shot itself was fine but they gave it to me in the back of my hip upper butt area and it was killing me for the next 2 days! To the point it woke me up and I could not lie on that side.

I'm cd7 and eagerly waiting for my scans on day 10! Praying there are large follicles developing!

When I was using opk I started on day 10 and I have used the smiley and the two line Internet cheapies and I agree with the other ladies - i like the 2 line one as you can see the surge coming.

We are all getting close to the dreaded tww! How do you ladies stay pOsitive and distracted? I'm thinking part of my issue is that I obesses too much in the tww and cause more harm to my chances!!

I just realized that I posted twice earlier.. the first time didn't show on the thread so I reposted it... whoopsie

Just took my last dose of clomid

 

[jappygirl76]

Everyone is getting ready to go in to their 2WW, and I am in my 1WW. Had a pretty nice temp dip yesterday, and it went way back up this morning. So, hopefully that is a good thing. I have never seen that on my charts before.

Hope everyone has a nice weekend!

 

[HuskyMomWI]

Just got back from the day 9 ultrasound. Not sure how to feel. There were only 2 folicles and Dr said they were smaller than she would expect(9.something and 10.something). Dr said she doesn't think the medicine helped much. She has me taking the strongest dose of femara for the next 5 days. Back in on Tuesday for another Ultrasound. Soooooo hoping this works.

And..I got to watch my niece being born yesterday which was pretty fantastic!!!
