July IUI, anyone?

[greyhoundmom]

congrats girl!!!!!!!

well this week is dragging by for me, Ill start testing 10dpoiui which is saturday!
I havent really felt anything abnormal. altho today I could hardly get out of bed I was still so sleepy, I went to bed at 10pm weird.

hows everyone else doing?

Tired as well! Otherwise good, and nothing abnormal here either. I am planning on test on Sun (which is 11dpiui#2 for me), but debated testing on Sat (which would be 11dpiui#1). I just got a 3 pack of first response tests, maybe I'll test then too. We'll see how impatient I am by then.

Fingers, toes, arms, legs, and anything else possible crossed for us!

Well it was a lot darker today! Taking another in the morning. I think I got my Bfp, on my first cycle of injectables and IUI! !

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!

I know how you feel Jen1019 - and I'm already with you on the August thread! We've also been trying for almost 2 years (on and off) and I'm trying to be patient but some days it really just feels like it will never happen.

Lucky you Jen! I wish AF would show up. I'm still waiting for her. I usually get it on CD33 which would be tomorrow. I just want the to show so I can move on to August!

Day 10 BFN Gah I'm getting discouraged!!!!

 

[TTCisapain]

Congrats Kele ...

I am 4DPIUI and not having anything yet, so we shall see. It would be really early to feel anything. I am pretty sure I already had sore bbs last month from the prog, but since it is my 2nd month on it maybe my system is a bit more used to it ... so I test in 8 days, just trying to stay relaxed.

Also, have you ladies given up eating lunchmeats / caffeine / etc? My dr doesnt want me having any alcohol in the cycle which I am good, and no more than 1 caffeinated beverage which I am good on too ...

But, I really want sandwich wraps for some reason (w/ turkey mostly) but not sure if you ladies are not giving that stuff up until you get a BFP?

Day 10 BFN Gah I'm getting discouraged!!!!

I hear ya. I took a hpt yesterday and it was a BFN. I am not going to get myself all worked up I hear my BETA results on Monday. I read that there are just some women who will never get a BFP from a hpt. Their HcG levels are too low to be detected by the hpt.

When is your BETA?

I've cut out alcohol and caffeine (for the most part - a cup of coffee or a soda here/there). I have had lunch meat maybe 2x since my IUI. I just try to keep things to a minimum. I also have major allergies, and take allergy medications (mainly Claritin). I try to only take it when I need it, but lately I need it all the time!

Yes, I am keeping alcohol and caffeine to a minimum. I have not let everyone know that I am TTC, so in some occasions I need to have a glass of wine or people will start asking questions I don't want to answer. As for caffeine, I don't drink a lot of it, mainly a cup of tea 2-3 times a week. I have eliminated soda of any sort (and make my own if I want something bubbly with 6oz of sparkling water and 3oz of 100% fruit juice). As for lunch meats, I try to avoid them, and make wraps with left over chicken or pork from dinner the night before. Sometimes I don't have anything to make a sandwich, and if that is the case I will eat lunch meats. As for medications, I try to limit what I use, and this is difficult because I get really bad heartburn, and migraine headaches. I'm like you, I only take something when it gets so bad that I can't continue without taking something. Have you discussed the 'safe' products with your OBGYN? When I decided it was time to TTC, I went to him and gave him a list of the things that I often take OTC and Rx's for and he gave me a list of things that I could take that were either safe, or the safest alternative.

Beta Monday IF I test positive. otherwise I just let af come and go from there.

Ali, I hope that AF comes soon (I don't think I've ever said that before...) I am blessed with a normal 28-29 day cycle, so at least I'm not left to suffer too long after my beta. I'm on the Clomid now, and feeling very cranky. Some people at work are just irritating me... good thing I only have two and a half hours left...

I don't drink very regularly as it is, maybe once in a while a glass of wine. And I've cut it down coffee to about 2-3 cups a week. I'm trying to drink even less after ovulation... we shall see.

 

[TTCisapain]

Thanks ladies ... looks like we are all doing the same thing ... I havent had any alcohol since we started cycle #1 and have chai tea 1x/ day but will give that up if I am preggers. If I do have a soda, I try to get decaff soda, but sometimes a Diet Coke is all that is available. In that case it is 1 can only.

Hey ladies I went fo rmy beta today at 11dpiui and I am pregnant!!!

Husband and I have been trying for 2 years did clomid 4 rounds with no success.
Found out he has 1% morphology
I have a prolactin brain tumor I had to shrink before we could continue on to injectables and IUI.
I know how frustrating and upsetting it can be. I still am in shock I had success first IUI. I wish you all luck and will continue sharing my positive story to give people hope!

 

[dbluett]

Yah Kele Congrats
Hoping I get my bfp on monday!!!

 

[kele]

Thank you I hope you do too!! I swear by the first response tests. The other ones did not show a positive result. So if anyone out there is testing early use first response early result!!!

Our morphology is bad too because mine has a varicocele. So that's why they recommened IVF. So glad the IUI did it for you!!!!

 

[ILuvBabies200]

Well I'm bleeding. And I honest to God believe I'm pregnant and losing another one. Tests won't show it yet but I've been dry heaving and my boobs real sore. I'm done. I can't do this anymore... Putting a call into the RE tomorrow but really I think this is it.

 

[Molly_001]

congratulations Kele, If I knew how to make those little people dance and hug and things I'd put them on here for you. That's the best news given everything you have been through.
