fx for a sticky bean 
doesn't show. Fx it doesn't 
She's tried 2 different psychiatrists and none of them have been helping her. I honestly don't know what they're telling herOther than she shouldn't take people's rude/hurtful comments to heart because it's her problem, not theirs. She doesn't understand that sometimes you have to tell people that that was hurtful and that you'd appreciate it if they didn't do/say that again
She constantly tells me to do this any time e.g. DH says something a bit hurtful and I tell him not to say that. She says it's because it's my issue and I shouldn't burden my DH with any of my issues
The problem is how to bring it up because I'm not sure she realizes that she has self-esteem issues. I'm not even sure she'd be open to help or honesty either. Just see her reaction when me or anyone else tells her that her criteria and method for finding men is flawed and she needs to do something else - she just clams up and keeps on doing the same thing and continuing to complain about her men troubles. Sometimes I'm not allowed to have a problem. I remember New Years 2013 when she came over to get ready with me. I started talking about how I was a bit sad that I wasn't pregnant yet. Her reply in a teary voice: "At least you have a husband and will have children, I'll never have a husband or children!" I was so annoyed because I was looking for support and here she was, taking center stage....again!
I don't mean to sound cruel, it's just that I can't stand her crying over these loser men when numerous people have told her to change her crieteria and where she finds them but she does nothing to try our advice and see what happens. Which makes me doubt she truely wants help or wants to change
Hi Kat,
You're not sounding cruel at all, some people just need the direct approach - you've tried all you can with your friend.
We have a friend who thrives with drama...everywhere she turns there's drama following her...brought on by herself, of course. We just had to take a step back from her for our own sanity and to remove the stress of it from our lives. Sometimes you just gotta be cruel to be kind and I say that in a nice way. You gotta look after yourself.
But she really is too much. I still remember her inviting herself on our last ski trip before we started TTCing Bear in mind DH and I ski no worse than red slopes as I'm still learning. Turns out she couldn't ski at all and when I made it clear we skiied on the harder slopes and we would end up having to pick her up constantly (as she refused to go to ski school), she said "I don't mind" with no consideration how it'd destroy our ski trip We ended up talking her out of it because of how much it'd cost her to buy ski clothes (I think she assumed I had plenty to borrow her which I certainly don't). She still talks about going on a vacation with us and we keep side-stepping but can't figure out why she can't see the strange thing in being a 3rd wheel on a married couple's vacation
I'm so glad my Puregon is taken in pen form so just have to put a needle on, adjust the amount and ready to go
as possible for the actual IUI. DH abstained for 2½ days which was a bit much, I would think 2 days should suffice and was what our clinic recommended.
. I'd advise you to not BD after you trigger as it's best to have as many
Good luck sugargully, hope it works

Yes we have to stop 3 days prior, so Wednesday. My hubby had a vasectomy reversal in August so his numbers are good but not great. The nurse told us to DB but then to conserve after Wednesday. He's actually due for another SA but it will have to wait until after Saturday.
Thanks for the info on menopur. I'm scheduled to trigger on Thursday if the u/s and blood work look good. I'm only allowed up to 4 ready follies. Anymore than that and the cycle will be canceled. I'm secretly hoping for twins but I can't tell DH or the RE. Both are against the idea. I think they're concerned about my age which makes sense.
Strange that there's a difference
Hi girls,
Im sad to say that I'm out this monthAF showed up this morning. I had tested yesterday evening and got a
Here's wishing you all the best of luck, fx'd for you all
Will you be going through with IUI #2 right away? Hope you see your BFP next time

Awww so sorry Bajayby
. I want to go again straight away. When I had my us done las time, it showed one mature follie from the right and three developing on the left...I'm hoping the three (or two) from the left will come through for me this time around and I'll be in with a better chance. Who knows though? 
I think after O the body drops any follicles that weren't released and starts all over again with maturing new follicles. So I think you're back to square one when your cycle begins and you start to mature new ones.
OK, I'll be doing the same if this IUI is a bust
Although I'm not sure that those follicles you had will still be there
Will you be on the same dosage? My clinic wants to up my dosage a bit if I need to do IUI#2, maybe to get one more follicle out of me since I "only" had 2 on IUI day

I'll remain on the same meds this time around and the same dose. You might be right about the other follies. I do hope that I'll have follies that are maturing and hopefully more than one this time!! But if I have one and it works out, that will be just perfect
I hope that you're keeping well.
But I'm not counting on it though, it'd just be nice

So we're heading for IUI#2. I'll be calling the clinic tomorrow as AF will be full-blown tomorrow. Oh well, didn't have high hopes anyway, partly due to my age. I'm blaming myself for my old eggs and DH is blaming himself for having spilt some of the sample Nothing to be done now other than hope #2 is our lucky number Maybe I'll have 3 eggs instead of the 2 I had as they'll be upping my dose a bit Think it's all chance as I've read of people having 3-4 eggs on one IUI and getting a BFN and then having 1-2 for their next IUI and getting a BFP. Like what do I care she got AF as well when she has 2 children and isn't trying for #3 Geez my family is really hopeless when it comes to supporting me Totally crazy since I'm bleeding waaay too much (plus I'm cramping) for it to be anything but AF They must've been busy this morning since I was on hold for like 6 minutes.
Amazing how easy it gets to stick yourself with needles when you've tried it a few times before I've been using a premanent marker to mark where the plunger is before each shot to make sure I'm getting my dose as I think the nurse was suddenly unsure since she felt I had too much extra in the ampule last time. Which I don't get as it wasn't more than a tad over 50 IU and I'd heard they fill those 300 IU ones with 50-100 IU extra so it could've been just one that had 100 IU extra? Anyway using the marker will ensure I'm getting what I should so there's no question of it this time
The two small ones are way behind in size to the other two, so fx'd they're not gonna be any barrier to the IUI going ahead. Hopefully they bigger ones will have grown enough for me to have my IUI this weekend.
I had to trigger 36 hours before the IUI so that the sperm are inserted right before O (the trigger I use makes you O 38-42 hours after you take it). It's thought to be the most optimal timing and give a higher success rate. Strange you trigger first afterwards When I get better I may make earrings for my MIL, DH's grandmother and DH's little brother's girlfriend as gifts
