light hearted ttc

[hello_kitty]

Ashley I usually will not go anywhere when Zachary is napping but they decided to come bang on my door unexpectedly. Teenagers are crazy.

Younger sibs can be bratty at times.

I woke up this morning feeling dizzy and about to fall when I walk. Have been feeling ill since last night. Im so glad my dh was able to take care of Zachary this morning so I can get some time to myself and rest. Over 9 weeks pregnant and now I'm just starting to get sick.

Patrice what exactly is IUI? That is dif from ivf right? I wish you'd get the bfp you have been longing for!! I've heard good things about preseed too! so I hope it works for you

 

[mzswizz]

IUI is intrauterine insemination. Its where they use dh's sperm and use a catheter to inseminate dh's sperm into my uterus.

 

[AC1987]

ohhh ok... well if it takes that to work your DH shouldn't feel bad I mean it is a part of him, sometimes things need a little help.


Ahhh my back is soooo sore today! I want to just sleeepp... or nap or just lay down. but I cannot as there is just so much housework to catch up on. I got dinner ready its in the crock pot, and then I wrapped some asparagus with bacon, I've heard good things about that so I want to see if its any good I might hold off til after lunch before I make that, or eat it along side dinner.

Ashley- hope you get to rest soon. Yes, and thats what i tell dh. I tell him that at the end of the day, its still between both of us. Our child will be OUR child but he just wants to be old fashioned and be the one that puts his sperm there not the doc. Men can be stubborn at times. Yesterday morning he did say we can do the IUI but things changed afterwards. Its hard on me because he is always changing his mind.


Im on cd3. So in 2 days, i will be starting the Clomid. I have to call my doc to see if they put in rhe new redills for the Clomid so i can pick the prescription up today. Hopefully, this cycle just flys past quickly. In 9 days, i go in for my cd12 follicle scan and hopefully my trigger shot. Now the decision for what will happen after the teigger shot is undecided but i guess that will be figured out before the scan which will most likely occur on the 15th. In 3 days, dh goes in for his SA and in 2 days, he goes back to work. We may or may not have a chance in february so im hoping SOMETHING happens this cycle. It seems like every cycle that passes, my body is responding better to the Clomid. So thats the good thing about that. After this i get a 6 month break from ttc because of dh's deployment. Im going to use these 6 months to focus on me and clear my mind of the stress of ttc. Ive realized that now ttc has taken control over my life and im just ready to have a child. Its been a long time coming and every cycle that passes is another heart ache. I am just ready for change.

 

[mzswizz]

dh and I finally sat down and talked and we have came to the agreement to do the IUI Im happy that he is giving it a chance.

 

[AC1987]

YAY!!

 

[mzswizz]

we have a better chance at trying the IUI this month than next month because we may or may not have a chance.

 

[magicwhisper]

yay im happy for you

Today is my midwife appt and glucouse test.
Not til after 1pm so I wont get to update how all went til later

 

[mzswizz]

Ashley-GL at your appt.

Im cd4 and DH goes back to work tomorrow. DH's SA is on thursday so we have to refrain from dtd starting today. Next week will be my follicle scan. Also, tomorrow I start the Clomid again. During the follicle scan, I will let them know that we have decided to go through with the IUI. Im hoping this will be the cycle that brings forth a bfp. But of course, it is always a wait and see with the cycles. AF should be here on the 31st if i am not pregnant this cycle. So will be testing around that time.

 

[AC1987]

aww best of luck I hope you can get whatever you choose done this month!


My appt went well, they wanna make them every 2 weeks now only I'm like no thats too soon, so I go back in 3 weeks. So hopefully I can keep it at 3 weeks til March
I gained almost 3 pounds horray! I'm still underweight but I'm trying very hard to gain the weight.

 

[mzswizz]

Its good that you are gaining weight Ashley. And DH and I are choosing to go with the IUI so we are just hoping and praying this works for us.

 

[AC1987]

hopefully it does!!! now will they do like clomid and the other thing at the same time? I dont know how it works..


AFM I crave cottage cheese, I hadn't had it in YEARS so I bought some but now I wanna figure out what else I can eat it with besides pancakes and toast LOL

 

[ricschick]

that's great news Patrice im glad dh has come round to the idea!! do they give you a percentage of success rate with iui? I have everything crossed!!!

1 more sleep til our scan!!!

 

[magicwhisper]

im obsessed with milk, it makes baby kick like mad too.

i havent drank milk since i was like 10 i couldnt stand the taste strange how it works

 

[mzswizz]

Ashley-cottage cheese with crackers or fruit. I dont eat cottage cheese but ive seen what my MIL eats it with. Also, the process for the IUI is..itake the Clomid on cd5-9, have my follicle scan on cd12 and if all looks good then they give me the trigger shot, then dh and i go in the following day. He gives a sample, they wash it and everything and then i arrive a hour later for them to do the insemination.

Rics-i havent talked to them about doing the iui this time but when i go in on the 15th for my follicle scan and i let them know what we've decided, then thats when they usually provide the information.

Magic-my sister had a craving for mayonnaise. Like she would eat it by itself. Pregnancy will make you have weird cravings.

Well today im on cd5. DH goes in for his SA tomorrow. I started my Clomid today. And i dont know if its because my cycles are now medicated and monitored or my body is adjusting but ever since i got the 28 day cycles, my AFs have lasted around 4 days now. Which is better for me. Also, yesterday DH and I purchased the preseed. So atleast we get to try it after his SA tomorrow. All in all. Everything is going okay so far. Im anxious and excited about the IUI. DH is on board with the IUI because he now finally got an understanding on where i was coming from with timing etc. so now he is like you're right lets do the IUI. So im happy. Im even happier because he took it upon himself to go have a SA done. Hopefully we know the results before the IUI so we know how our chances are looking but i think DH's swimmers are good to go. Well thats it for me now.

 

[magicwhisper]

im not as bad as my mum was, she is a vegetarian and got cravings for pork chops
