I just tested and it's a BFP! With a FRER. The line is so light but it is unmistakably there. I hope this is real! And I can't believe it! I never thought I'd see a BFP again!

yayayayayayayy!!! that is awesome news. a line is a line no matter how dark or faint!!!! )))))))

 

[dovkav123]

to all of you in your tww and waiting to test! I hope you all get a BFP this month!

I am on my 4th iui cycle and if this doesn't work we will most likely do a diagnostic lap and then go from there. I'm currently taking Femara and will go on Monday to have the ultrasound.

I haven't been taking progesterone after iui but I have seen that a lot of you do. What is the reason for this? I wonder if this is something I should ask my dr about taking?[/QUOT

I take my progesterone to support my luteal faze and possible pregnancy. It Aids implantation. During natural TTC on CD25 my progesterone was a bit low 8 instead 10. Some women have no problems with low progesterone, but maybe I am the sensitive one. Also I had spotting before my period. however, my luteal faze is always normal-16-17 days.

Kaylen, We are working with multiples here!

I am 5 days from testing. You give me hope

 

[dovkav123]

Jaan, I wish you luck this cycle. We are 5dpIUI. WE'll BD today and tomorrow. It should aid implantation.
When are you testing? I'll sart testing at 10dpIUI.
I saw your HCG trigger was gone 5 days after the shot. It's normal.

I am so happy dov. I took another test this morning and it got darker. I can't wait till tomorrow morning to go to the doc and have it confirmed.
I even took the day off tomorrow cause I can't work right now. Just need to make it through today.

I feel like if I got a BFP then everyone will!

Kaylen, that's fantastic!! Yay!!! Yay esp. for darkening lines!!

We've started our 3rd IUI cycle. The actual IUI will be in a week or so.

hello,

last time i started testing at 10dpiui and i didnt get a faint till i think day 13 or 14, so i'm not sure! as of now i feel zero symptoms i have been sick off and on this whole month so i hope this doesnt effect anything i already feel like testing even though i know nothing will show up!!!

The earliest trigger shot could be gone after 5 days, but my RE says wait for 7-8 days.
I am very hungry and I have appetite for carbs and anything I find in the fridge healthy or not. Ussually I am a healthy freak!
Bleeding left nostril evey other day for a few seconds.

You had Bfp before. You have even better chance! I wish you for a sticky bean!


I forgot to tell you that my hubby assited in IUI. He removed a cap from the catheter. It was so adorable! He kept it as a souvenir. It's a baby blue color. That's my nickname, he calls me baby blue all the time. My eyes are sky blue. Also it's my favourite color. A baby boy color. I know we'll have a boy soon. I knew that for fact when I was a teenager.
Earlier or later we'll be blessed with joy, I promise you

Happy Valentines!

I wrote the whole story about my first IUI and I'd like to share with you.

I had IUI this month.
1.CD15 was -OPK and few days before
2. CD16 In the morning my temp was very low 36.3. the day of IUI.
3. My follicle was 20.6mm during IUI at 1pm. It was a Mature follicle any time would burst.
4.BD'ed few hours later no pain. Feeling wet firtile mucous all day.
5. In the evening I got O pain. at 9:30pm
6. In the morning my temp went up 36.6 and stayed high....
7. That day we BD'ed in the evening I had O pain, was very uncomfortable

Conclusion:
I had IUI before my O. My egg started to burst from the ovary that evening. The temp went up next morning. I Ovulated. The pain I had during BD that evening was the fluid irritating my pelvis cos of the bursted follicle.

Interesting, please read'
I always relied on this info that I got from FertilityPlus website:

Q: How long does washed sperm live?

A: Current research indicates that washed sperm can live 24-72 hours; however, it does lose potency after 24 hours. Another issue with IUI is that the sperm can keep on swimming beyond the fallopian tube, so the ideal window is really within 6-12 hours of the egg being released, with a larger margin before ovulation than after since the egg's viability is shorter. Sperm can live up to 5 days in fertile mucus, 2-3 days being pretty common, so combining IUI with intercourse may provide better coverage.

I am sure we the sperm met an egg. I felt O pain 8,5 hours after IUI

Hi ladies -- I had a chat with my RE yesterday, and thought some of you might find it heartening to hear what he told me: for those of us doing clomid + trigger + IUI, the chances for success can potentially increase with each try, because the drugs have a cumulative effect. He thought our 2nd cycle looked better than our 1st, and our 3rd now looks better than our 2nd. We have unexplained infertility, so there was nothing wrong to begin with, but my hormone #s are supposedly "even better" than they were before because of this treatment. That made me feel better about all this effort -- at least improvements are being made. Hopefully we'll get results from that improvement...

fx for everyone!

thank you for sharing that. i always thought each cycle was independent. do you think this is particular to clomid only or even those of us on puregon shots? anyway, i am glad to hear you are better off than where you started. i hope you get the BFP soon!

Yea, I thought each cycle was independent, too. I don't know if this effect is particular to clomid. Maybe worth asking your doc? I feel like they sometimes have to be solicited for this kind of info. I remember when we started this process that the RE said that "we learn something every cycle" and other things that made me feel like it was a process of improvement -- all things that I just forgot once we started. It was good to be reminded about that.

8 dpiui and going crazy No symptoms at all....

How are you all carrying on?

Carla the bubblelush on youtube suffered PCOS and had many IUIs with injectables. First baby was conceived with a help but the second one was a suprise baby. She took a break from the treatment. She did Oed on her own and all the work she had done before, gave her a good result! Drugs did had a cumulative effect. Work up her ovaries from a deep sleep.
Wish you all the same outcome.

First iui tomorrow morning!feeling excited/nervous/excited. Guess I have 1 mature follie on the left and a couple smaller ones on the right!

 

[gabbygabz]

Good luck Crystal! And fingers crossed for those of you waiting to test!

My update: B2b IUIs on Friday and Saturday plus trigger with 5 follicles (3 measuring 20+) even a few on my right ovary, which is usually an under-performer. RE told us that this is about as good as it gets for a cycle so we're feeling very positive about round #2. Then I had the WORST night sleep so far on this journey with very intense ovulation pain or post-ovulation pain or whatever. Either way it was awful but I'm hoping it means all those eggs dropped and then my temp skyrocketed this morning so I think that's a good sign. Now we wait ... hoping for a fast 2 weeks.

Hi ladies! I just got back from the dr and my 4th iui is scheduled for Wed morning! I have one good follicle on the right and 1 good but smaller one on the left. Hoping 4th time is a charm for us or I will do a lap to see what's going on. My other option was injectibles but if something is wrong with the tubes then those won't help much either.

Kaylen - how was your dr appt on Friday..did you get a confirmed BFP?!

Fingers crossed for everyone getting ready to test!
