July/August IUIs

[Prayingforno1]

Babywhisperer-Thank you for the encouragement and I agree we need those BFPs around here. Sounds like your IUI went great and you have a good doc working with you. Praying those swimmers win the race and you start off our October BFPs!

Beagle-LOL at body messing with you because mine is always screwing with my head. Last month I was actually nauseous around time AF was due so I was so sure I would get my BFP. Then what should happen the darn witch showed the next morning.

If AF doesn't show by Friday I will do another test then and not a day before that!(hopefully I can fight the urge as I have a few tests at home)

Good luck...sounds like a great IUI!!!

I can hope for a positive...but I am honestly just trying to stay realistic. My body loves to (excuse me ladies) f*** with me when I least expect it. One cycle I had red bleeding at about 10 dpo...never had red. I have had light pink & brown. Nothing. Nurse said it was probably all the hormones. The odd thing is my normal brown spotting started but has now stopped. I go to the bathroom & it is like it is any other day of my cycle...dry & nothing. It is weird. But again...just trying to stay grounded. Class should be over early today, so I will stop by a store & buy a frer. I have cb digital at home & the wondfos.

Oh the games our bodies play. I really hope this is it for you. I can't tell you how many times people start to look into IVF and get prego on their own. It's amazing.

Thanks for the encouragement, it went well, I cramped but then again I always do. Saying prayers this works.

Well the witch woke me up this morning so I'm officially on CD1 AGAIN!! Guess I'll call my doc at some point today to set up CD2 scan and bloodwork. Feeling kinda blah yet hopeful that we will have success with our IUI this month. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers as I'm sure you know on this ttc journey seeing AF can be a bit depressing so I'm praying I don't fall into that slump this month

I'm so sorry hun. Damn that witch. I will keep you in my prayers and don't get discouraged. Each month is another chance at success. Stay positive.

 

[beaglemom]

I am also CD 1.

Beaglemom... I guess that means your hpt is for your pumpkin seed this month then right? It's ready to go. Good luck and sorry about af.

 

[Babywhisperer]

I am also CD 1.

So sorry hun. Damn that witch. Maybe we are all meant to have October bfps and July babies.

How are you feeling?

So I call my doc to make an appointment fro CD2 scan and bloodwork and the nurse advises that they need DH to do some bloodwork n further tests so she suggests I pass on IUI this month in case his results aren't good and we have to cancel again. REALLY!!! Dear nurse do you know how long a month feels for a lltcer??? He had to redo a culture on Monday which she claims she doesn't have the results for yet so if it doesn't look good doesn't make sense us wasting a cycle. I understand them wanting us to have the best shot possible but I am so frustrated right now. I was so looking forward to this IUI and it was the only thing saving me from having a mental breakdown when af showed today. Sitting at my desk in tears right now. OMG I just want to scream.

Sorry praying. Cyber hugs. I know it has to be hard on you and dh. I was just thinking in the car that this tww is so much harder and longer than my natural cycles. I believe it is because we have put so much more emotion and thought into it. I feel like it just has to happen. I can only imagine what it would be like if someone told me I had to stop trying to conceive for a month. That's horrible. Can you talk to your doctor and see if you can do an iui round while testing that way you don't ever look back and feel your doctor made you miss a window?

Hi, Babywhisperer!

I'm 7 weeks today and I'm having a second u/s next week because, last Monday, we saw two sacs but only one heartbeat. So I'm having mixed emotions, though I understand that may sound selfish here.

Physically, I'm feeling much better! The hormones and ohss have made me gain 13 pounds but I couldn't care less. It's uncomfortable as it's mostly liquid, but I really don't care.

Big hugs to everybody here and lots of luck!

 

[Byrnhild]

Praying, I'm so sorry about that! If it was just a suggestion and you really want to go for it, I'd do it. Big hug to you and good luck on those results!

So what if his results are not great, what could they do differently? Women have gotten their bfp with 1% morphology. It's your decision but do what you feel is in your gut. If you don't want to lose the month go for it.

I hope everything is ok with the ultrasound. I hope you stay feeling good.

Praying - How frustrating! But I'm with the others, go for it if you feel that is what you want. What kind of tests are they waiting for anyway? Unless it is suddenly no sperm, then I don't see why it would need to hold anything up.

Afm - I had my blood and ultrasound done today. Two little follicles on the right - 9 and 10 and another around 9 on the left. They're barely measurable so still no idea how many mature follicles I'll end up with but I would feel much better with multiple follicles this time since the last round didn't work. Hopefully I get 2 good lead ones and we can go ahead and they don't cancel for too many (I don't know what "too many" would be in their minds). I go back Saturday to see how things are going.

Thank you everyone for your kind words and apologize if I was a bit emotional in my post but I literally just hung up the phone when I typed that so that was raw emotion. Thank you all for always being so understanding and encouraging. I do want to give it a try as you've all stated it only takes 1 and I would hate to just do nothing for an entire month. I just don't want to do nothing, I want to do any and everything to increase our odds. This is something I want more than anything and the idea of them just saying oh wait a month is not comforting at all. People will never understand this process if they've never been through it themselves. I called the nurse and said we want to go ahead with IUI this month and she is going to speak with doc and get back to me (do you really thinkg she advised me to sit out this month before even speaking to the doc? WTH). I so do not want to share this news with DH he has been in a slump over ttc for the past few days.

Raelynn-Your scan sounds good GL to your visit on Saturday

A month feels like forever! I had one cycle cancelled due to a cyst and one cancelled due to my follicles not ever developing well. Ugh! I hope you get this cycle no matter what the docs think. You go with your gut!

Good luck!! I know how just making it through each appointment can feel like a victory so here's to the next appointment.
