Hi ladies

Just checking in - how is everyone doing? Anyone got any good news? Any testing this week?

I miscalculated my dates and am only due for AF on Friday, so will only test on Saturday if AF hasn't shown up. 12dpiui for me today. This tww is just dragging by.

Hi Ladies!

So I took a much needed break over the weekend. AF came 3 days early on Friday. So I had my mini breakdown and skipped out on my bloodowork on Saturday since it was pointless but they called and made me go in on Sunday just to make sure. Even though I knew I wasn't. THe blood work came back negative and I am feeling better about it now verses saturday.

My DH took it really hard this time. I have explained what the dr said about the odds and the fact that each roach your odds go up and its doesn't mean it won't work. We have 4 trys. But he just feels like we are throwing away money since we are having no results. So we will not be doing another IUI this month. Between him not wanting too and my cycle coming early we were not prepared with the clomid so we cannot do it this month.

So I purchased the clear blue fertility monitor and preseed online and will try to use these this month. Since I am unexplained and all of our tests are correct I am hoping its just timing and that maybe we will have luck this month on our own.

I also need to make an appointment at my normal drs office, I am wondering if I have undiaganosed Dysmenorrhea. I get super sick during AF and have such horrible cramps I throw up or just cannot do anything and get no relief. In August I actually passed out due to them and had to be put on vicodin. From what I have been reading this can effect fertility. So I want to discuss this with my dr. It would be nice to actually no the problem so we can fix it and have a baby soon.

Well I hope you all had a lovely weekend and that some of you have received your BFP!

No good news for me! I am hoping you get your BFP this month though!

I think I wrote back to you on the other thread - all these threads are confusing! I am so sorry to hear that it didnt work. I hope the CBFM works for you and brings you that BFP!

Hi Ladies,
May I join? I have met with RE 10/23 and awaiting results from SA from 10/26.
Waiting for AF and will then scheduling day 3 bloods and HSG. I will be doing clomid and Ovidrel trigger shot for IUI #1. Looking for support as not really talking about this with anyone except DH.
And Wristwatch24 hello and are u feeling anxious/nervous?

Lindsay - sorry about the Bfn hun. I hope the pressed helps, I have heard good things about it. Also try taking 100mgs of b6....its supposed to help. Lastly have you looked into soy isoflavones....it kinda works like clomid. Let us know about the heavy AF....that sounds horrible.

AFM - iui is done and I'm the tww. You can see in my sight I had 3 large follies and some good sperm numbers. I know everything can be in place and you still don't hit it, but I am going to be positive and say that I am PUPO right now

Thanks TCCBABY. I have not heard of what. Where do you find it? I will have to order it. Thank you for the tips

I was frustrated with the iui because My hubby had great sperm numbers and I had 4 follies. But maybe the timing was off..

I really hope you are PUPO! Keep us posted!

 

[ttcbaby117]

Thanks Lindsay...the soy can be bought at any vitamin store. If you Google it you will find many women use the same as clomid. I tried it one cycle but it didn't work, but then again neither did clomid.

Hi guys!

I started this thread and then lost track of it and coudln't find it... haven't figured out how to get alerts for if anyone answers. I actually just randomly came across it online. YAY! Back and so nice to hear everyone's journey.

EM::: Dont know if you are here at all, but wishing you the most positive of wishes and may you recover very well from surgery and really hoping that it is benign. My DH went through cancer treatment last year and it can be gruelling my goodness. But he is all better now and as they seem to have caught yours early, it's good. Wishing you the best. I guess you will be going onto ivf when all healed up and better. Hope they collected lots of good eggs.

AFM: kinda losing it in this 2ww. It being our first iui, could be the hormones are a bit crazy making. I tested out the trigger shot using opk's and the trigger seems to have disappeared around CD17.

Two days ago I did an HPT and got a veryyyyyyyyyy faint line, but then yesterday it disappeared. Here it is: https://imageshack.us/a/img507/5771/hcgtestcd2310dpoiui11dp.jpg

My nurse at the fertility clinic told me not to test until my period is late, and if it is late, that they will do a blood test. She had a serious look in her eye when she said this. Maybe cz the results can be so skew. BUT I CANT WAIT hahaha
So, you guessed it, I tested again this morning, and back is that faint line... only this time it seems even lighter than the one 2 days ago. Here it is: https://imageshack.us/a/img593/5214/hcgtestcd2512dpoiui13dp.jpg

AF is due SUnday... Blood test will be done on mon or tues.

I have had PMS like symptoms in my stomach for about 5 days and today they are really bad. So feels like a heavy AF on the way... maybe from the injectables...

tick tock tick tock... urg.

 

[Hope1409]

Hi ladies, mind if I join in? This month will be my third and final round of iui. Then I will be taking a break from all these medicated cycles and see if nature takes it's course. I will be doing clomid and trigger shot. Hopefully third times the charm.

How are you ladies coming along?

 

[Lucinda7981]

Angelique how exciting!!!! I hope your line sticks; keep us posted!

 

[Lucinda7981]

Hello Hope !!!
I'm also awaiting to do IUI this month. The plan was to do the IUI but I just received DH's SA on wed evening and it was 72 mil but only 19 % motility which is really low...should b at least 50%. So I emailed RE to find out if IUI was still the plan n he wrote back yes but that needs to talk to me Thurs or Fri to discuss in further detail. I immediately wrote back asking if he would call me or i should call him, but I haven't heard anything else...thinking I will be calling him later today...

 

[ttcbaby117]

wow angelique...that looks positive to me.....test again and post the pic, i would love to see it!

 

[Angelique1]

Got up at 430am this morning to go to the flower market with a friend, and was too tired to test. This is good for me, haha, I made it one day without testing! At least now if it was positive, then tomorrow it should most definitely be stronger... I bought about 50 of those pee sticks, so I get a bit luxurious with them! haha
Will test tomorrow morning and upload, unless it's negative... we all know what a negative stick looks like. Hopefully it is either the same light faint line (gives me a lot of hope) or a darker line..

 

[Tinkerbell3]

Hi all :wave:

Hope you dont mind me joining, we are doing our first IUI cycle this month.
Currently on clomid for it, 2 more to take and then a scan on Wednesday to see how i'm responding with them.

 

[Beemama321]

I am a mom with a 6 1/2 and 3 yr old boys. I also have an angel baby that I lost at 16 weeks 10 years ago.

Long story short, DH and I have been TTC for about 2 years. I blamed our initial problems on the Depo Provera shot I took for a year. Normally, with 3 pregnancies under my belt, I THINK about being pregnant and I am. No such luck anymore. After a year of trying to conceive, we found out DH had Hodgkin's Lymphoma 11/11 and started chemo 12/11. Prior to chemo he banked. 4/12 DH ended chemo. 8/12 DH diagnosed with Thyroid cancer. Surgery and synthroid started 8/12. That brings us to today. We want to expand our family so bad. We went through so much fear, that now we are ready for hope

I am currently CD #7 and on Clomid 100mg on day #4. I go for an ultrasound to check follicles and prepare DH frozen sperm for IUI 11/8. This is all so new to me, I'm nervous, scared it won't work. Need some friends... our friends and family don't know we are doing this.

 

[Lucinda7981]

Hello Tinkerbell.....I'm also doing first IUI this month! Excited/nervous?
Hello Bee...I too have 3 pregnancies under my belt n 2 live children n so this going to a RE is also new to me. Currently waiting for AF and DH will b repeating SA tom; so hopefully will be starting process soon.

 

[ttcbaby117]

Welcome newbies.....I wish you all luck....let's all get our bfps

 

[Angelique1]

Hi everyone and welcome newbies! The more the merrier!

So went to hospital today to get blood test and boo, BFN.
I'm ok with it, at least the wait is over. IT's the wait that kills me... the not knowing. I'm a need-to-know-now kinda of person. Once I know then I can plan and move on to the next cycle, next step etc.
So normally my fertility clinic would give a month break in between cycles, but since they are taking Christmas off, they are going to do back to back cycles with me, which actually makes me happy. Glad that I get to go right away again! And then at least I'll only have one cycle to wait if iui#2 doesn't succeed. They are going to do 3 cycles, then we will discuss ivf.
I heard that iui#1 is very rare to get a BFP, and that it builds and get stronger % of success with each cycle, but that if no BFP by #3, that iui is unlikely to work. ANyone else hear that?

OK! Here goes! Nov IUI #2! remarkably excited.
