[Mrs. Bear]

I had a great visit to the Dr today - I have 3 egg follicles developed! I give myself a shot tonight and will go in Friday for the IUI with DH's frozen . I'm trying not to let myself get my hopes up too high but am very excited that I am actually ovulating

Oh YAY! That is great!! and 3 follicles to boot! niiiiiiice hehe.

I am just hoping I have at least 2 mature ones- but 3 or 4 would be nice! haha. I go in for my u/s on Monday to check how all is going- then hopefully IUI in Tues!!!

BEST of luck to you hun... hope this is IT for ya

 

[Mrs. Bear]

Thanks seoj!

I was very happy to see 3. I was even more happy that 2 were on one side and 1 on the other so if any tube issue has popped up since my HyCoSy I at least have a shot on both sides.

Now I just got to stay up til 1am to take my trigger shot... good thing I'm a night person.

Fingers crossed you get similar news at your scan on Monday - we want those s!

Got my fingers crossed for us both girl! hehe. For sure a good thing your a night person... I'm so NOT! lol. I get up at 5am during the week- so I'm in bed by like 8:30! haha. I don't fall asleep for a while- but need that down time for sure.

Best of luck this round! Hope you get those two lines

 

[Mrs. Bear]

ugh... I'd be a mess if I had to get up at 5am all the time. When DH is here he gets up around 4am and it is all I can do to wake up to send him off with a kiss. Functioning that early is a real stretch for me... lol

 

[Kaylakin]

Mrs bear,
Great news!! 3 follicles..that is really great. I am a night owl too, and I had to give myself the shot at 11pm which was no problem, but my doc said to set an alarm in case I was sleeping..hah! Well ill keep my fingers crossed for you for Friday! Good luck!

I've always been that same way! haha. So NOT a morning person... but getting up at 5am means I can get to the gym, get ready and go to work and still be off by 3:30pm and home earlier with much more free time in the evening... and actually, after doing it for a while I've kinda gotten used to it. Still have those morning from time to time though! haha.

Not sure how that's gonna work when I do get prego and I'm tired!!! Guess we'll see... I can always adjust the days I just can't get out of bed that early

Fingers crossed for you hun!!! Hope you get some great news in a couple weeks!!! hehe

Had IUI this morning but not feeling optimistic. They moved it up a few hours because I felt like I O'd overnight last night. I feel ok with the timing of it but the post-thaw count was only 7million with 27% motility. It is still above the minimum for an IUI but not as high as they like to see. The Dr said hopefully having 3 follicles will help even out the odds.

I'm going to try to stay positive but with those numbers I'm not going to get my hopes up too high. Oh well, still a chance - only need 1

How are you feeling Kaylakin? any symptom spotting yet?

You are CORRECT... just need that one good egg and sperm!!!! Never fun to hear the odds though- I was very deflated after my first IUI as we were told we only had maybe a 5% chance.... BUT, try to keep the faith!!! 7 million is still WAY more than would ever get up there naturally and having 3 follies certainly helps the odds... Keeping my fingers crossed for ya hun!!!

 

[Mrs. Bear]

Thanks seoj - it was just such a letdown after being so hopeful to have 3 follicles this month. I poked around online and from what I saw the odds I saw were of course lower with those numbers but still should have around a 10% chance. 10% is better than zero.

Your scan is still on Monday right? Good luck!

For sure girl!!! 10% is a great chance!!! And really, odds shmodds right! People beat the odds every day... so that could totally be US! lol.

I still have my scan on Monday... I almost thought I was going to Ov early this cycle and ran to the store for an OPK test on my lunch! lol. I've been testing since yesterday- but started taking Robitussin yesterday and it must start to work pretty quick! haha. I know it won't help with the IUI, obviously, but maybe when we DTD after? I'll do just about anything to help at this point! lol.

I'll keep my fingers and toes crossed that you get two lines soon hun!!!

Mrs Bear,
Hey, I really think the three follicles is great and will even out your odds for sure! Plus, it's not like you had a super low count, just a little lower than they like to see...and you're right, it just takes one! I still think you have a great shot. When I had the IUI on Monday, after the wash the count was 9.8 million, and they look for 2-5 million minimum. I was happy with the number until I came online and saw that a lot of people had like 20 to 30 million post wash. I was like wha??! And my DH had no problems with his first SA, so I didn't know why it wasn't higher. But, I'm trying to be positive as well. I'm not sure how many follicles I actually ovulated, though, so we'll see. I hope at least two, as I usually ovulate each month on my own and he took the sizes of at least 5 during the tracking scan before the IUI (though one was a cyst) Anyway, no symptoms to report just yet, as I'm only 4dpiui. This waiting is killer! It sucks!! I go for bloodwork on Monday, but it is for progesterone and won't tell me much I'm sure.
Well, good luck for the start of your 2WW..hang in there and try to stay positive if you can...

Good luck on your scan for Monday..good idea to catch ov with OPK just in case! I agree with doing whatever can help at this point...it can't hurt! Ok good luck and hope Monday comes quick for you..

 

[seoj]

Hope both you ladies have a great weekend and I'm crossing my fingers for some good news from you both soon!!!

I'll update after my scan on Monday!!!! eek... hehe

 

[seoj]

I go in for my IUI today!!!! Ovulated a day early... eek, hehe.

Exciting stuff!!! Hope the rest of you ladies get some fab news soon!!!!

Best of luck

 

[Mrs. Bear]

Good luck seoj and lots of

Just goes to show it is a good idea to use OPKs. I always do even though my RE says they aren't necessary. It sure helps my peace of mind. I would hate to go through it all just to O early and spend all the money for nothing.

Are they still going to do a scan to check follicles or just do the IUI and see what happens? I ovulated early too. Maybe our eggs are impatient to be BFPs too lol

Fingers crossed we can all get our BFPs this month - it would be awesome to just move our thread over to the bump buddies forum

Thanks hun!!!! Best of luck to you also... I love what you said about our eggs being impatient! hehe. I'm all for that BFP!!!! I always say my eggs are just really picky! lol. That's why it's taken so long... but once they are ready, they are ready NOW! hehe

I always use the OPKs... the FS I go to recommends the smiley face ones... and thank goodness, cause I thought it was more of a faint line at first... so figured I would get a pos the next day. But I used the smiley face one, just in case and it was was a smiley!!! So I rechecked the cheapie test again and the line was much stronger... so yea, good thing I double checked! haha

They didn't end up doing the scan. The doc said that it was a bit late, and that he would do it if I insisted, lol- but odds were they wouldn't be able to see anything at that point. So we skipped it and saved the $110!!! lol. Either way, it is what it is right? And both my ovaries were very achy all day yesterday- then both pretty painful last night... so I'm crossing my fingers I got one good egg from each side to up the odds of that BFP!!!!

Hope to see you over in bump buddies soon! hehe

 

[Mrs. Bear]

I can never tell for sure what the results are on the line opks so I go for the smiley ones when it get to the stage that I need to know for sure. They are more expensive but it is worth it just for my peace of mind.

It certainly sounds like you O'd on both sides. I know mine were the same way, achey leading up to O and just before O it hurt even just to go to the bathroom (tmi...). I knew I had Od when it wasn't a 10th as bad in the morning. So I would say you have at least 2 eggies out there if not more

How many dpo are you Kaylakin? Any symptom spotting yet?
