IUIs 2014!!! Let's do this!!!

Good luck Dini!

AFM, pretty annoying update: Super faint BFP on a WondFo this morning and minor increase in temp but pink spotting which usually means AF is on her way. So maybe it's a chemical or an evap, who knows. Focusing on the positive that my chronic mid-cycle spotting didn't start until 13 dpo, that's a good thing at least. Now just waiting for more information and/or AF, in which case we're on to IUI #2!

Don't take the spotting as one thing or another. It can still go either way. I have heard of women getting spotting or "a light period" & ended up pregnant. As long as it is not heavy & red. Stay excited that you got a line!!!

Plus your temps are really high so I'd think if you were spotting a day or so before AF they would have started to drop by now. Definitely don't count yourself out yet!

I'm sorry to those who haven't gotten their BFP this month. Remember you are not out until AF shows up, be positive

On a happy note, I got my period this morning. Dont think I have ever been so excited it for it; because I cannot wait to get started for this cycle! I go into tomorrow (CD 2) to pick up the puregon and do a baseline U/S.

On a side note, I have the flu and feeling a little under the weather, hope this wont affect the quality of my eggies.

Good luck on your surgery Dini!

Hi ladies! I did my first IUI today! had my +OPK yesterday. Crossing my fingers it takes! Best of luck to you all as well!

 

[welshgem]

Fingers crossed for you mangotango!

Girls I've got a bit of a dilemma. I had my new schedule through from the clinic and my next iui is in the diary for March 10th (Soooo long to wait!) but my other half is on a stag do from march 7-9th. He will obviously be drinking heavily all weekend and I'm worried about quality issues. I only get 3 chances at iui but if I push back, I don't know how long I will have to wait until the next one. What would you do?

 

[jaan613]

Hi ladies,

Started my puregon shots today. Possible IUI date is Feb 10 or 11. Hope everything goes as planned this month.

Staying positive for myself and all you lovelies x

hi dear,
sometimes the dates can be moved up or down depending on scans and how you respond to diff things. remember every cycle is a new cycle. just hope that something changes and you go in before he leaves.
i am sure its not fair to ask him to stay back as he wud want to be there; and it's impossible to ask him not to drink whilst he is there; maybe he could just take it 'slow'.

Lucky! I'm expecting AF in the next day or two and then I will also be starting an IUI... At least we will be close in our cycles

 

[gabbygabz]

jaan613 and xurfingers I'll be right there with you in the new cycle. Initial AF has already started and probably full day 1 will be tomorrow.

Onward to IUI #2. Throwing back in acupuncture this time around and trying to go in with a lot of positivity. Good luck to us all!

Hi ladies..I'm 9dpo so I'm still waiting to test. I am going to try to hold out until next Tuesday but we will see how it goes. I've been very good so far in the TWW: no caffeine, no alcohol, ate pineapple core and brazil nuts and have been eating healthy. This was my 3rd IUI so if this doesn't work I think our next step is a lap procedure.

I also have to vent a little. My friend who has a 2.5 year old and a 7 month old just sent out a group text saying "oh by the way I'm prego again..woops!" This makes the 2nd time she's gotten pregnant in the entire I've been trying. My husband and I have been trying so hard and have spent so much money in the last 2 years and it just seems so easy for some people.

Okay enough venting..good luck to everyone still waiting to test and those who are starting a new cycle!

That's great! We can still cycle together My RE offers acupuncture also... Do you think it could help me?

Honey, I know how you feel! I could have written this myself! The only difference is that it's my sister in law... Grrrrrrrr! Lol

HI guys. Here is my update: I am having IUI #2 tomorrow afternoon (about 27 hours after trigger). i had an ultrasound today and i have a bunch of eggs, and I mean a bunch. 2x 20 mm and 1 x 14 mm on right side; 20mm, 17 mm, 15mm, 14 mm and 13 mm on left. The doctor came and had a talk with me. He told me that I am doing better than most people that are on full injectible cycles and I am only taking min doses. I am on combination cycle clomid + gonal-f. He said he could not give me any higher doses or ever put on on full injectible because i am making too many eggs, but then I wouldn't need that either. He was concerned about multiples, and asked if I ended up with high order multiples will I consider reducing. I said yes. He game the the option to continue with the IUI or cancel and I chose to continue.
So it is happening tomorrow afternoon. Our beta is scheduled for Feb 14th! It will either be a very happy or a very depressing day.

Yes, good luck Kaylen!

I've been out of the loop. A very busy week at work, which, thankfully, makes the TWW a little easier. Not so much time to brood & symptom-spot.

7dpiui, testing on Feb. 8.

I know what all of you mean about the difficulty of finding out someone else is preg. A friend just told us last night about her pregnancy, and she did the "I hope this isn't awkward, but .." thing. Ugh. Way to make it worse. Had a good cry about it with the hubby (probably thanks in part to the progesterone supps.!).

I hope people have some good, relaxing treats in store for themselves over the weekend. Heaven knows we all need pampering.

Good luck Kaylen!

xurfingers I think if your RE offers acupuncture you should give it a shot! I've done it before and at the very least it definitely seems to lower stress levels, which certainly can't hurt!

Thank you, Gabby. I think I'm going to do it. I'm a little taken by the additional expense of acupuncture but you are absolutely right. My job is very stressful and I think this could help keep stress levels lower

I just wanted to say that I'm 14 dpo today, bfn. Not even a shadow. My temps are still high which is driving me crazy. I don't understand the purpose of temping yet... This is my first cycle doing so. Just another way to keep my hopes up.. Blah! Lol
