[Ingodshand]

That stinks Adj!! I pray all the other tests come back just perfect!

 

[River54]

Nothing yet. At least I can look online at my results as soon as they are posted. Should be a couple more hours. Probably about the same time I want to go watch my dd's game...will post either way.

Sorry to all the ladies with the BFN's. They are so frustrating to see.
Good luck to all the testers coming up! We all have our fingers crossed!
Grateful- time is flying huh!!
AFM- I will be 30 weeks Wednesday and am now seeing my ob twice a month! I have a 3D ultrasound scheduled on Friday. I'm really excited to see her. My mom, sister and husband will be there to see her too!! (I might even have them double and triple check the gender because surprises are not my thing! Lol.) I will be checking out the women's pavilion tomorrow to preregister for the labor and delivery. I don't remember having to do that before but I'm looking forward to checking everything out.
Also can't wait to hear gender scans!!

Lune - Congrats on 13 weeks! These milestones are really a big deal. Every time it's Wednesday, I literally have a smile on my face, because I know it's another week down. I think hitting that 13 week marker is amazing!!

Allika - My OB told me we'd be having the NT scan... As in: it didn't seem like an option. I just feel like there is such a lack of communication. I'm pretty frustrated.

My OB also called me today to tell me they found a tiny bit of yeast in the cultures they took last week. But not to worry about it. They won't treat it if I'm not having symptoms... So "he just wanted to let me know"... Arghhh, what does that even mean??? Any input??

 

[River54]

Nope, results were 1 UI/L, so, not pregnant
Onto another cycle whenever I actually get AF. At least I know I can enjoy a glass of wine tonight

I have no idea why it is soo hard. It has been a couple years now... Hopefully they'll change up the protocol somewhat especially since they didn't like my response this time. Did talk to OH about what if IUI doesn't happen. He seemed up for trying IVF, which I find scary. That will take a toll on our finances...I hope this next cycle just goes smoothly for the last IUI and maybe we'll get a december bfp and not ever have to worry about ivf.

Anyone take provera before? Anyone taken it for 5 days before?

Yes I took Provera, can't remember if it was for 5 days...it did bring on my period by the next week. Good luck

Yes I took Provera, can't remember if it was for 5 days...it did bring on my period by the next week. Good luck

Thankyou! I would usually take it for 10 straight days and get my period one or two days after the medication ended. I just thought i would ask as the dosage says to take it 5-10days

MWB, my OB called me and told me the exact same thing after my last visit. Asked me if I was having any symptoms and I said no. They said the amount was so small that it didn't surprise them I wasn't having symptoms but wanted to check anyway so I just left it alone. Never had symptoms.

River, I'm so sorry for your bfn I hope that you get your December BFP and don't have to worry about the financial strains of IVF. It is good to know that you're not completely out of options. This process can be so exhausting, financially and emotionally. We are here for you, pulling for you every step of the way!!!

IGH are you just bursting at the seams waiting for Thursday?!

 

[lilrojo]

I know hopin I can't believe it, it's gone so fast....

Good luck to those testing soon and sorry to those who are out, keep hope it will happen

Morning ladies...

I am getting really excited for my trip, we leave on Friday so I will MIA until the 17th When I get home that will be day 14 and will probably be getting my Ovidrel shot and doing timed intercourse this time around. We shall see I am taking a steroid so I won't O before I get home so that's a good thing. lol

Sorry for the bfn River, I know how much it sucks.

How is everyone else?

river - I am so sorry for your IUI failure.IVF is really a very costly option but for some of us who is struggling to get pregnant its the last resort.I sometimes calm my mind saying IVF is there for me.But what after that?Not sure!Lots of for you.

manda - All the best for your trip, have a blast!How steriod controls ovulation?I never knew it!

lilrojo - Happy 34 weeks.How are you doing?

mwb - I do not know answer of your query.But I just wanted to say all will be well.

ldizzy30 - Happy 30 weeks.Your scan is definitely going to be very exciting.You do not know the gender yet?

AFM - CD7 today.Went for scan.4 follicles are growing all are around 11.2 at right side and 2 at left.I hope they grow soon!Had a great weekend at SIL's place with kids.We celebrated Diwali at full blast, watched a good movie.I had a few crying spells though.I could not sleep a night thinking what will happen if I never give birth to my baby.What if I do not get an adoptive child even!I wish to raise a kid so badly.
I hope this time IUI works for me.

 

[lilrojo]

Yea I am taking Dexamethizone. It is a steroid to prevent your LH from surging and releasing a premature egg. For some reason my LH has started to surge really early in my cycle.

I am hoping and praying that this is your month. Everything will work out

Mind if I join this group? It looks like it has been a lucky one for quite a few people! I haven't read thru the entire thing yet - but I will this weekend.

I am 35 (36 in December) and have been trying to conceive since last November. Started fertility testing 2 months ago and learned that hubby has low count, morphology and mobility. Met with the specialist last week and decided to start on IUI this cycle. Took clomid last week and had my sonogram today. I had 2 follicles on the left side (size 22 and 26). I am doing the trigger shot tonight with the IUI scheduled for thursday.

Anyone know how bad this shot is or is not - never had to give myself a shot before and not looking forward to it. Also, I forgot to clarify with my doctor - is it ok to BD tonight - our last BD was Sunday and just in case I ovulate early, I want there to be some little guys swimming around. The doctor has said 24 hours was good for the IUI sample - but a SA requires minimum 48 hours - any thoughts?

I usually get my period 16 days after ovulation - so should I test 16 days after the IUI or earlier or later - if AF doesn't come. (A little early for this question, but curious just the same.)

Any other advice is definitely appreciated!!

Anyways - FXed for everyone else testing this month!!

 

[CiderDonut]

Hi moni!

The shot is not bad at all--the needle is really small so you barely feel it. I injected in my stomach, which seemed easy enough. I'd pinch some skin/fat so that you have a stable target, and then just stick yourself quickly, don't linger.

As for BD, if your doctor says 24 hours of abstention is sufficient, I'd go with that!

 

[Kins]

Hi welcome moni! As for ovulation after ovidrel it's right on the money so you should be able to Poas on day 14 post ovulation. It's been awhile but I think. After ovidrel you are supposed to ovulate 36 hours later.

I say go ahead and bd the night you do shot then sustain till iui and then bd the night of iui and that would prob cover you.

Also your follicle sizes sound excellent. Good luck!

 

[ajd36]

Welcome Moni

Your follies sound great and ready for the trigger shot The girls have it right...it doesn't hurt much at all and do it quick. Will be ready to test 14days after your IUI and BEST of luck!!

IGH are you just bursting at the seams waiting for Thursday?!

Thanks Hopin! Makes me feel better. I didn't understand why he called me, but now I realize he was asking me if I had any symptoms, which I don't. Glad you didn't either!!

 

[mwb2040]

Hopin - Also, I have a couple more dates for you:

11/12 U/S with fertility clinic
11/22 NT scan

Since there will be 3 weeks between my last appointment and the NT scan, the dr. at the fertility clinic said I was more than welcome to do another ultrasound before the 22nd. She knows me too well... I think DH thought it wasn't really necessary, but I wanted to anyway! We hit our out of pocket for insurance, so we won't have to pay for it... Any chance to see these babies, I will gladly take!!

Moni - Welcome & FX'ed for you!!!
