Unfortunately I don't think the world works on fair and overdue. I hope we both get our BFP as soon as possible! Best of luck this month, keep doing the happy dance you never know.

Nope, most of the time it doesn't But one can hope that it happens on certain occasions, this one being one of them

Yes I hope so too!

So guess this wasn't my cycle. I've been cramping and there's blood at my cervix so AF is on her way On to cycle #17 So the HSG didn't help this time. Don't know if it's because it was done to close to my O day It actually made me O 1 day earlier so the HSG was done the day before I actually Oed.

To be honest I do't have any hope for cycle #17 and am banking all my hopes into cycle #18 as I'll be starting my 1st IUI

Will be trying Conceive Plus one last time, this time the pre-filled applicator ones. Ordered a pack of 3. Don't think we'll be ordering any more as it's expensive (since we have to order it from the UK) and if it's not working, there's no need using more money on it.

Starting to think my CM is the problem but it won't be an issue with IUI of course. I just won't be having any hopes on any BDing sessions before IUI. Think I'll just be less crazy this cycle as well and stop with the 20 minute on back rule after BDing and just relax a lot more.

Aww Kat I'm so sorry. I had really hoped that the HSG would get you your bfp this month. But I have my fingers crossed that it will happen soon for you!!

Myshel- how are you doing? I hope that everything lines up perfectly for you.

Afm- so I'm on cd 10 of my...I dont even remember at this point. Like cycle 36? Maybe 37? Anyway, way too many cycles at this point! Haha. But I FINALLY had my HSG done today. It wasn't horrible. It wasn't very comfortable but I don't think it was anything as horrible as your experience my dear Myshel. But one of my actual RE's was able to do it. The fertility clinic I go to has 3 and they are all great so that really put me at ease that I kinda knew who was all up in my business.

So he started injecting the dye and my uterus filled up fine and they saw a little spilling out of my left tube but they could not see my right one at all. So he had to inject more and more dye like constantly for a few minutes then the radiologist that was running the xray machine was like "oh there it is! They both started spilling clearly just all at once!" So that makes me feel like maybe my left tube was slightly clogged and my right one was pretty much blocked and hopefully this HSG cleared them out!

The downside is that because of my PCOS I hardly ever ovulate on my own and my RE didn't want me doing clomid or any ovary stimulant this cycle so even tho my tubes are nice and clear the chances of my O'ing are very slim. But hopefully I get my next cycle at the beginning of January without needing to take Provera.

I hope everyone is doing well!

Yes I hoped so too But my DH now has a theory that because the HSG happened so close to the day I expected to O and it made me O 1 day early, that we didn't get much BDing in before I Oed. We BDed that night which was CD 11 plus the night of CD12 but I Oed CD12 instead of the expected CD13. So he's more optimistic for this cycle. I think a lot of ladies get bfps the cycle after as well, don't they We can hope

Good to hear your HSG went pretty good as well and wasn't so painful. I found mine to just be uncomfortable. Does he not want you doing e.g. Clomid because of the Christmas holidays or....? We can hope this is a cycle were you O so you have a chance this time

Here's hoping it helps you get your bfp soon

Kat I've read in several places and heard from my RE that for the next 3 cycles after an HSG most women have an increased chance to conceive so you for sure have a great chance next month...that's to say if this month really doesn't happen. But I'm still harboring some hope and sending positive thoughts your way!

Honestly I'm not entirely sure why he didn't want me to do clomid this cycle. I mean I think it was something to do with him wanting to get kinda base testing on me without interference from outside drugs and such but I'm not really sure. It would he awesome if I did o ob my own but I haven't done that since Feb of this year so I'm not holding my breath. But I've waited over 3 years to get to this point so what's another month now? Haha

Thanks Britta, I could really need some positivity as I'm always a bit negative about my chances. Especially since I've had 9 unsuccessful cycles since my chemical it's making me antsy and negative

If he wants to test you before putting you on it to get a clearer picture of your cycles and what's going on, I guess that's understandable I was just wondering if it's because he wants to monitor you while you're on it and you ran into the same problem as me with starting IUI, with the holidays getting in the way. But yeah, I guess if you've waited 3 years, what's another month I'm having a harder time telling myself that with my IUI since I've "only" been trying for a little over a year I wanna start IUI now, I'm so impatient sometimes

 

[Myshelsong]

Sorry kat for the bad news. Glad you are being positive. I am sure it will happen soon for you.

Going crazy not testing. Don't want to get my hours up but don't want to be shocked when it is negative so thinking about doing a first morning. Ugh.
Day 12 post iui not a single symptom what so ever

Thanks Myshelsong

I wouldn't completely give up due to lack of symptoms. Lots of ladies get bfps on cycles where there were little to no symptoms

Here's hoping it's a bfp

 

[Myshelsong]

Tested negative. Feeling super upset about it.

 

[deafgal01]

Myshel -what cd are you into now?

I had a HSG- unfortunately due to having a sperm issue, I didn't even conceive at all in the 3 cycles after that. I did have a IUI in Sept (the HSG was in June). Didn't work.

 

[wannabemummyb]

Tested negative. Feeling super upset about it.

sorry Hun. What dpo are you? X

 

[DBZ34]

I'm so sorry, myshel. Will you test again?

 

[Swtpinkbabi]

Prayers for you Myshel, keep trying Hun. I didn't have any symptoms on my bfp cycle and didn't get a positive test until 14dp iui.

 

[DBZ34]

You know, now that you mention it, I didn't get a positive until 14 dpiui either...

 

[Myshelsong]

Am 12dpiui, well now 13. Not gettingmy hopes up at all but not crying. Going for blood work tomorrow hoping won't freak out.nhaving my sister and nephews over tonight for dinner so that should be good.

 

[KatO79]

Awww so sorry it was a bfn Myshelsong I was really hoping this was it for you. I hope that you get your bfp next time Will you be doing another IUI right away or...?

Hope you soon feel better

 

[Myshelsong]

Want to do an IUI right away but with the holidays not sure if that is going to be possible. Depends on when I ovulate, if it is on the new years eve or day than we cant. Oh well, will keep trying when we can. got CoQ10 for me and hubby in hopes this helps this time around.

Trying to stay positive, Beta came back negative so we are officially out. Thankfully it is the holiday season right, helps me to be distracted that is for sure.

Yes those darn holidays Maybe you can ask your RE when AF shows up, if she hasn't already that is. Hope the CoQ10 works but have heard you need to take it for 3 months or so for it to have effect. But you have perhaps been taking it for a while already?

Yes that's the only good thing about the holidays, it helps to distract with buying gifts and such. I am also hoping it helps me with passing the time until I can start IUI in January. Maybe the distraction will be good for both of us

 

[Myshelsong]

You have to start taking it sometime right!? I was on it two years ago for about a year but took a break from everything and stopped all the extra vitamins. Starting it back up now.

Ok here's hoping it works I'm taking it myself but not a very high dose, probably around 60 mg a day. It's in my Omega-3 capsules. I was taking extra (like 1 x 100mg capsule) but since my RE put me on extra Vit C and D, I felt like I was taking too many pills a day so something had to go
