July IUI, anyone?

[alicatt]

ok ladies I tested at day 5 with a dollar store hcg test which is 25 MIU, to see if the trigger shot was out yet. It was negtive, took another one yesterday 8DPIUI and it was negative. Took another one of the dollar store tests this am it was negative. I read on here everyone uses the first response early result tests. So I got some on my way home tonight took one when I got home and have a very faint postive!! I'm 9DPIUI hopin the line is darker in the morning when I take another one. Nervous that this one could be detectecting traces of the shot. I read the first respone test is very sensative...What do you ladies think???????

First Response is one of the best tests! You'll know tomorrow if it gets darker!!! so you are 9 days past IUI...how many past trigger?? Mine is always out by 9-10 days.

Its is 11 days since trigger

This seems good - can't wait to hear your results today!!!! FX for you!

Kele - it sounds promising.. use the FRER tomorrow morning and see if it is darker! Praying that you see a nice dark line tomorrow. FX'd GL

So Ladies: I am 3DPIUI and we are leaving for vacation on 8/1, I take a HPT on 8/3. I hope I didnt just jinx myself, but to be prepared in case it is a BFP I looked up addresses for labs where we will be during that time period b/c I am sure they will want blood work if it is +. I don't like doing that before I need to, b/c I just get my hopes up. But, I know while we are traveling I will need to have access to the locations and fax #s so they can send a script.

So.. question. Is it okay to take a HPT test in the evening? I have always heard it should be done in the morning. Thought?

I vote yes.
As long as your a reasonable length of time from ovulation. (length of time would be totally adjustable based on my mood at the time ) I gave in and tested the night of 10dpiui. The truth is there didn't seem to be a significant difference in the darkness of my FMU tests

Thanks Fisher. I am currently 13dp trigger and 11 dpiui.

Since this is my first attempt at getting pregnant, I'm kinda confused on what my happen first I guess. Today was a fun day of cramping..some stronger than others but it didn't last all day. And OMG I'm so unbelieveably tired!!! I don't know if it's the progesterone(been on it since last thur) but it's only 8pm and I could go to sleep right now!!
I'm 10past trigger and 8dpiui. I am taking progesterone suppostories but I was wondering if that would prevent me from getting sore boobs if I am pregnant. From talking to others and reading some posts, I kind of thought I would have sore boobs by now. I'm so confused!! I did POAS this evening and it was negative but I also know that doesn't mean anything this early.

Anyway got some advise or has been thru this??

TTCinTexas - I have never been pregnant, so I don't know what that feels like, but I have taken progesterone and it does cause many of the signs that women have when they are pregnant. One of them being the fatigue! I was like that last month when I was taking progesterone too. I could have slept 16 hours or more a day! I'm not sure that all women get sore boobs when they are pregnant or whether that is just a common symptom.

I think you'll just have to bide your time and just wait to see what the next few days brings! I know that is super hard to do, and you may be feeling totally crazy during the next few days, but that is truly the best advice!

You can lean on us while you wait! and lots of baby dust

Kele this is sooo exciting.. Thanked you as well cos , i'm having my 1st IUI this Saturday 28th, and it gives me so much hope

Kele, I hope this is your Congrats!

As for me, after my beta I got AF later that day so I am on CD3. I start Clomid again today, and go a for a midcycle on 8/3, if everything looks good the IUI will be 8/4. I should probably head on over to the August thread, huh?

Truthfully, I thought that not taking the pregnancy tests would help me emotionally. But when my RE told me on the phone that it was a BFN, I sort of broke down. I'm doing better now, but sometimes it feels like it will never happen. I know it was only our first IUI, but we have been TTC for going on a year and a half. I'm going to try to stay positive... it's just so hard!

Good luck to the rest of you in TWW. I will be checking on you girls!

Congrats Kele, that is incredible news! You will have to go in and have the BETA test to confirm, but it sounds like you are pregnant!!!

I agree with Alicatt - the progesterone definitely makes you tired. Other than being tired, I haven't felt much either. I'm 8dpiui today. But as my RE says, some people get symptoms early, some don't, so don't let that get to you! I am waiting till 11dpiui (my 2nd one) to test because I feel like it will drive me crazy to see a negative and then not know if it's just because it's too early or not.

Yay! That's great, congrats!

Thanks Jen! I know what you mean about testing vs not testing. I didn't during my IVF and was devastated when my RE called with the bad news. I was just basically a sobbing mess on the phone. Last time I tested ahead and felt that it sofened the blow a bit (so to speak). I am going to test again this time partially due to impatience and partially to know before the call. Hoping/praying for a BFP this time and for you for August!
