[Sweet Lullaby]

Ugh! I am up at 3 am looking for something to eat. What is wrong with me???

praying that's a good sign!!! i feel like i am always hungry but i blame that on the trigger shot, haha. how many dpiui are you? fingers crossed you get your bfp

I am 8dpiui. My symptoms didn't really start until yesterday. Last cycle I had symptoms from the ovidrel right away. This cycle, it waited until 7dpiui and the floodgates of symptom heaven just opened up . I hope this is our month! Good luck to you too! Lots of

Oooh good luck.... dont they say.. symptoms happen after implantation? Which is usually after 5dpo? Good luck hun.

AFM : i feeling sick. Nausea.. i dont know if its from my last pregnyl or not. I had NO nausea in my last preg

Kaimaka: I hope the symptoms showing is a good thing. When do you think you will test?

Damie: Good luck! What are your plans next cycle if you get your BFN?

Sweet Lullaby: I am sorry you aren’t feeling well. When is your beta?

AFM: I took the trigger last night. IUI is at 11:15 tomorrow. Praying that is works. However, I plan to talk to the doc about injectables for next cycle as I don’t have much hope.

Thanks a lot Jen, I am sure he is gonna confirm it. So start enjoying the baby glow.

Thanks Karenh, the doctor went with the home test and gave me a negative.:

 

[Damie]

Hello Ladies,

I want to give you a brief of how my day went. Did a home test and got a , then went to the confirm my true status and I was told by the doctor after the test the IUIwasnt successful

I don't know what to believe because I am yet to see my AF which is never late by the way but has choose not to come this time around. The doctor said this could be due to the drugs I am taking and that i should discontinue them.

She also suggested we try another cycle of IUI immediately and if it doesn't work we move to IVF. She said I should start taking an hormonal drug "dostinex". I asked her why since we haven't tested to confirm that was the problem she is of the opinion that I should try it right away and do the test when my period starts.

She said I had a good cycle with four follicles above 18mm and the
looked beautiful too so they cannot confirm what happened. I wanted to know how sure she was I ovulated but she said that isn't in doubt. I wish there was a way she could confirm that.

So I am waiting for AF and I pray it doesn't come because I have read cases where people have negative. Results but still turn out pregnant.

If it does come I would start another cycle of IUI. Last one was clomid day 2-6 and menopur injections every other day four times.

Please does anyone have any other I suggestions maybe I can pitch it in to my doctor.

Thanks for all the Prayers.

Oh honey, I am so sorry! Have they discussed doing injectables like Gonal F or Bravelle? They are so much easier on your body than the Clomid, but more expensive. I didn't have any luck with the Clomid-- it thinned out my lining a lot. I am keeping my fingers crossed that whatever your next step is, that it works out for you.

 

[Laura R]

Hey all! I'm on 11 DPO today and took a "5 days sooner" preg test that came back negative. I know it might be a tad early but I just have a feeling that I'm not pregnant. This is my 3rd IUI so if it is negative, I'm taking a much needed break from fertility treatments before moving onto IVF!! I really enjoy being on this site though and reading how everything else is doing. I'm sending good vibes you way!

Omg can i relate. So peckish. I blame the pregnyl lol

I am 11dpiui and u

I used ovidrel, I think it's the same as pregnyl. But I am on progesterone too. So that might be causing me to eat everything in plain sight.

Hi Damie- I'm so sorry for your BFN! Try to keep your spirits up, tomorrow is another cycle and another chance. As for the dostinex - do you have elevated levels of prolactin? If not, than I'm not sure why your doc would prescribe this for you, did she tell you anything more about it?
I know it's tough to reconcile as to what went wrong, but just remember that even if everything is perfect and the timing is exact (which it sounds like it was for you) a couple only has a 25% chance of conceiving each cycle. Good luck to you in your next cycle, I hope it will be your lucky one! Also, have you tried Femara instead of Chlomid? A lot of people tolerate it better and it does not thin out your lining like Chlomid does.

Hey, congratulations!! I'm so happy for you!

I can't help but notice that your DHs post wash count went up considerably on the 3rd IUI. Did you guys do anything different to make that occur or was it just good luck?

 

[Chris_25]

Congratulations Jen!

Hi everyone, i'm driving myself nuts I am currently 9dpiui and don't really have much symptoms. I am feeling very cranky and pms mood swings! I should prob consider myself out I just want to cry as usual.

Hope you are all hanging in thereand doing good!

 

[KBrain3377]

This is exciting - there are quite a few ladies on here that should be testing in the next few days. I'm excited for everyone and I hope that a number of you will be joining me in the June 2013 Bumps thread Let's get those BFP ladies!!!!

 

[ttcbaby117]

[karenh]

Damie: I am so sorry for your negative. Take a little time to grieve. I hope next cycle works. How many IUIs have you done? By the way, I love in your signature how it says you hope the Lord blesses you with one of each. That is what DH and I are praying for as well.

Laura R: Sorry for the negative. Maybe a few more days will help, but I totally understand the feeling out thing. Enjoy the break if that is what you get.

Kaimaka: Not too long until the 30th! Only one more week to go!

KBrain3377: I love that you are here cheering us on. You are so encouraging. That you so much!

Ttcbaby117: That is awesome with 4 follicles! I hope the shots help them grow and you get you BFP!

I am 12 dpiui and got a faint !!! I used an internet dip strip this morning and it came up very faint. So faint that my husband said he saw nothing. So I stopped at walmart and bought one of their cheap 88 cent ones. I just took it and it came up darker than this mornings but it's still faint. I have my beta Thursday. I'm so excited and kinda in disbelief.

Hey Jen - did you get your numbers back? We're dying to know over here! Have you joined the June 2013 bumps thread yet? It's HUGE, with so many people it gets hard to keep track. I still feel the most at home w/these ladies here, maybe b/c I sympathize with all the struggles, and the excitement of a BFP is sooo much more exciting when you've waited for it for a while, isn't it?

Yay! Congratz! I hope it keeps getting darker!

That's amazing!!!! Congrats to you and your DH! If you're anything like me, you will spend the next two days before your beta peeing on any stick you can find.... It is so exciting to watch that line get darker! Enjoy the excitement! Wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months!
