Lei- did they check his other numbers like mobility and forward motion? You could also do timed intercourse with the iui? Maybe that would be a good first step??? Also maybe you can just go to the ceremony and the beginning of the reception... take the pictures and then head out?!

Afm- we really need any prayers or good thoughts you all can provide. I had some bleeding on Monday night. It was pink and I have had on and off spotting since then with cramps. I am so scared that it is another miscarriage. I am just trying to stay hydrated and relax.

I hope this can provide a little comfort because I know you are scared. I had two episodes of GUSHING blood and passed a clot during one of the episodes. I went to the dr immediately after everyone and the baby was fine. It was a massive blood clot which some women get. I'll be praying but I know how you are feeling and hole everything turns out okay!!

What size are your follies? I'm in the same boat as you with using DS and know how hard the timing can be sometimes. Some of us have found that using the cheapie ovulation sticks in stead of or in addition to the Smiley helps you really see where you are in the cycle. I would keep testing for now and see what happens as it looks like you're only on CD10 you may have another couple of days before O comes.

As for adding on the trigger shot.... this might be a prefect month for you try that! I just recently learned that same thing last week and will use my trigger as an extra help whenever I can when I have a nice small number of good follies.

Best of luck!!!

IGH- my fingers are crossed for you hoping it's just non-miscarriage spotting, good luck Hun.

AFM- egg retrieval is tomorrow morning excited yet nervous about being put under, hopefully I won't do anything too embarrassing when I wake up lol. Since we're doing genetic testing on any good day 3 embryos it'll automatically become a day 5 transfer. Fingers crossed all those follicles have at least a few awesome eggs.

Happy hump day everyone! Hope everything is going well or better for all he lovely ladies! Oh, typeA! Great to hear baby bean is doing well! That's so exciting!

Eeeee! I'm so excited for you! You will do great tomorrow! Lei and I have both done the procedure so you can too!! You won't be out for long so no worries! Please update us!!!!

Thanks for you comment--it really helped. On my right I had one at 19mm and on the left 17mm and 14mm. The doc said they'll continue to grow, hence the two and a possible. I'm going to keep testing in the meantime. My pharmacy doesn't have the cheapies :-/ so I'm stuck with using the expensive smileys.

I think I'm going with the trigger now that you've confirmed the information I learned about the trigger. I think regardless of what the opks say I'll trigger tomorrow morning at 8am and go in on Friday for the insemination. That way I'm most comfortable with the timing and I can go home and relax all day afterward. It'll be less likely for me to relax on the weekend since they're so busy for me.

Thanks for your response anyway I wish I could just get my blood drawn everyday, that would make life SO much easier.

Thanks so much! I have been following your story and I am so happy you are on the "other" side now!!! The spotting mostly stopped now so I wonder if maybe it was breakthrough bleeding! Only time will tell!

Hi ladies, Its been awhile since I posted. Here is my history:
TTC: #1 for 18 months
Feb 2013: Clomid 50mg days 4-8, no trigger, one IUI
March 2013:Clomid days 4-8, HCG trigger, 2 B2B IUIs
April 2013: Clomid days 4-8, HCG trigger, one IUI
May 2013: Follitism days 3-10 (tapered dose), , HCG trigger, and 2 B2B IUIs

My husband and I were supposed to do one last IUI the month of July. We just couldn't put ourselves through that again. We contacted our RE and said we'd like to take July-Sept off and come back for IVF in October.
Well today I took a preg test because I was supposed to start my period, but didn"t. I got a BFP!!! No meds, no IUI!! I cannot believe it! Keep hope ladies! Miracles do happen. I am so excited.

We used soft cups last month and I am pretty sure they would not affect your temps! I left mine in overnight too and during the day when we dtd in the am. Never even felt them!

 

[Kins]

Okay ladies this cup things... Is that basically to keep sperm in? Lol confused and don't feel like googling

 

[Ingodshand]

Kins- yes, it is a cup that you put in after DTD to keep the sperm closer to the cervix. I actually have one called the diva cup. They are really marketed as an alternative to tampons.

Lei and anyone else struggling with your husband on the next move. I was thinking about the issue last night and I think this whole TTC process is much different. For my Husband, he came to the consult apt and that is it. I always felt that he was supportive but did not need to come to all the scans or blood tests. I know he was sad with every bfn and loss but they were easier to get over since he had not gone through as much. After our second loss, he just wanted me to get over it. Not in a mean way but he did not want to see me upset.

I guess what I am trying to say is that they have s different perspective. When AF shows up they get the news and move on while we have to deal with the cramps and pain for much longer. We are all young, but seeing those bfn and getting AF is the most disappointing and heart draining pain that I have ever felt. I think we need to explain the pain and that we want to do whatever it takes to get a baby and not have to deal with it month after month

Sorry for my long post but have been thinking about this a lot!!!
