Congratulations!!! that is a beautiful picture and obviously a positive! Don't worry about it getting darker daily, the ics take a while to get super dark. Even my ic taken at 3dptigger was not as dark as the control. Don't worry, you got you BFP right there......your beta will be proof.

Congrats Fisher! That is definitely a plus! And FYI those tests are known for faint lines.

I met with my RE yesterday to go over our Clomid/IUI cycle that ended on 7/13. We are doing a natural cycle this month because of the timing of our consult. I'm going to take the progesterone on my own after ovulation.

We're really not sure what to do for the next cycle. He basically said 10-12% chance with Clomid, 25% with injections, and 62% with IVF (for my age group). The bump from Clomid to injections is from approx $1,750 (incl meds) to $4,000, and IVF is around $16,000. Those are huge cost jumps.

I just randomly POAS after my 12hour shift at like 1030 on Tuesday which was 10dpiui. I was planning on waiting till FMU the next morning but you know how that goes it didn't show up right away but in min it was there and I was home alone and just kept walking over and picking it up and saying out load "that's not a joke?".... "that's not a joke?"

Hi Tulip -

I'm in the same boat as you - same age, and we were given similar stats by our RE. We have no other known issues, all of the tests check out fine and DH's numbers are through the roof (I joke that he should be impregnating half of Chicago and instead here he is stuck w/me )

We just finished one IUI w/injectibles which was unsuccessful and now we're also not sure what to do next. I've previously done 6 rounds of Chlomid. We're almost done tapping out our 10K maximum fertility treatments w/insurance, with all the testing, medication and everything else, it adds up fast! Now I'm thinking that maybe IVF is just the best bang for your buck? From what I've been reading, a lot of people have to do 3 or more IUIs to get a BFP, and IUI is about 1/3 the cost of IVF, so....
not sure I'm ready to go that drastic of a route yet, but I do know I am so sick and tired!!!!!! of ttc-ing!!!!

Well ladies - my temperature plummeted 0.6 degrees to the coverline today with AF due tomorrow. I didn't bother to waste a test. A miracle could still happen, but I think I'll be moving on to next month's board in a couple weeks. I'm going to try to take those couple weeks off, but hopefully I'll see you there (while you are visiting from the 1st trimester board )

Hi sweetc - Just read your blog, so sorry about the temp drop! I also just got another BFN, I'm not even sure why I bothered to waste so many tests on a clearly failed cycle. I'm 14DP IUI and I wish the witch would get here already. The annoying thing is that I've been testing since 5DPIUI and I have some positive ones from the trigger shot, and I just wish they were the actual tests! Grrrrr. This was my first IUI and first time w/injectibles, and I was so excited about the shots being practically painless, and how good DH was at giving them, blah blah. I'm also w/you in that I'm actually considering the IVF route too, instead of trying repeated IUIs. In some sense, I think it may just be a better value, but maybe that's just the shopaholic in me. What are your thoughts re: IVF?

Fisher -- Congrats on the positive beta! That is such great news I hope to go on Monday for mine, but am totally unsure on all of this. Now you tested before your beta- did you trigger this cycle? I am afraid of taking a HPT and getting a false positive so I am trying to wait.

Tulip- that has to be really hard for you financially. I'm lucky in that with the insurance that I have, IUI is covered. Clomid was a $9 copay, the trigger shot was only $5. And each of my ultrasounds and the actual IUI was $30 a pop. But IVF is not covered at all so I do hope that the IUI will work for us. There is no way that we can afford $15000 in one shot, so if IUI doesn't work for us I'm not sure what we will do. GL!

No trigger. I've always ovulated on my own. They based my IUIs on home OPKs.

I am one day behind you . I am excited and nervous also. I'm staying positive and keeping busy. I have a good feeling. I had a progesterone draw yesterday and it was 23 so no supplementing, which made me happy. I am not sure when I will test,I have 4 dollar store tests. I took one last night to see if the HCG trigger shot is out yet and it was negative so thats good. How are you feeling?

They are not testing my prog, but I am taking supplements, twice a day. Feeling okay. Had some minor dull cramping. Hoping that's a good sign. How are you feeling?

Here's to having some BFPs in the next few weeks.
