I tested with my last frer this morning and when i look at it with my naked eye, I see a faint line. But when I try to take a picture, i can't see anything. This must be part of my crazy eye line disease...

Anyone else have any good news? lol

 

[pambolina21]

Wish I had good news...still waiting for my CD21 results to come back...I can only pray it's good news...But I never got a positive OPK...it's just weird that last time I did ovulate and this time...nothing....makes no sense to me!!!

Tested today @ 14 dpo with a

Starting to get crampy as well...just waiting on AF now.

At this point I am convinced that I simply can't get pregnant with hubbies unless we get help from a fertility specialist. Having had 3 girls from a previous relationship, I KNOW I can get pregnant. I got pregnant with them VERY FAST. Within the 1st or second month.

I guess now I need to talk hubby into doing an IUI...and then rob a bank so I can afford it.

lol JK No but really...anyone have a good ball-park range of how much IUIs are paying cash?

 

[amommy]

Are you using DH's sperm? or donor? If you are using donor you can do home IUI with a midwife, it is a lot cheaper!

 

[xMissxZoiex]

I have no idea how much IUI costs over there. But maybe you could do egg share ? I know over here they take a hugh sum off fertility treatments when you donate some eggs. And You obviously have good eggs!. It may only cost a few hundred after that x

Hubby does NOT like the idea of using donor sperm. lol

Otherwise I'd be all for that. Guess I need to start saving up...

 

[pregnant101]

well go to ur doc and have them test u and hubby to see EXACTLY whats causing it. Cuz if u tell him ur sprem is crap and wont get me pregnant it may hurt his feelings lol

Yes you may have a broken man on your hands after hearing that hahah!!

 

[chika10blue]

We bought a good microscope just to see what the quality of hubbys is and it is def low. They aren't very fast either. He has seen them himself. Some days he will admit it, other days he is in complete denial. lol

I have been looking around for fertility clinics and I think I may have found one. It's only $990 for the iui including physician visits, sonograms, semen preparation, insemination and pregnancy test.

The testing for male factor is separate. $125

The first consult is $320 with the pelvic ultrasound.

There maybe a few other random things that aren't listed in the website but I did send them an email and ask for a better quote.

$1400 is a lot of money but way less that what I thought an IUI would cost. I really thought it would be closer to $4,000.

Anyway...AF showed this morning...

 

[pregnant101]

sorry the witch showed amber hope u can do ur IUI soon and be preggers tho

 

[pambolina21]

Sorry Amber...I know it sucks...this month's round of Clomid didn't work for me...blood work shows I didn't ovulate...it just boggles my mind...it worked last time!!

Now I am debating whether to go on my 3rd round or just focus on losing weight...and my 3rd round she said she might increase to 100mg...so I dunno...I should probably just lose the weight...

 

[amommy]

they should do the clomid with u/s monitoring to see if it is even maturing your follicles.. that is the best way to know for sure!

@AMBER- I was on another thread and it was talking about something called maca from gnc... they said it up'd sperm count and libedo, they lady that posted it was very adament about it and said that it worked like gold! worth a try and alot cheaper than other things!


AFM-afm-(this may be tmi...towards the bottom) im on cd 6, af just ended today... Started back to school on monday, and got a new shift at work (more hours) so hopefully I wont be too stressed to function this month. I got a basal thermometer, its gonna take a while for me to get used to temping (ANY TIPS?!?!) And im thinking of trying maca for the hubby. Im all gung-ho for SMEP but he gets agitated when we have sex for baby making... its not as fun, spontaneous, ect ect... so maybe if he gets something to ^ the libedo, he will just jump me anyways and i wont have to say "No dear, we HAVE to do it tonight!" (haha pathetic really...) Its hard because at the moment we both work and go to school full time, so after a 6 hour day in college followed by an 8 hour day at work, were both kinda tired... and lets face it... my stuff still works if im not in the mood...his...not so much!

Yes, it does suck Pam. And I really hate trying to talk to hubby about anything fertility related. He has the "It will happen when it happens" attitude and doesn't really think anything is wrong. We started talking about iui but he doesn't want to spend the money unless we are sure to get pregnant and I told him already that your chances with iui are the same during a normal cycle, they don't increase. I mentioned donor sperm again since we could just inseminate at home and he said that is NOT an option and he would rather not have a baby...

Anyway, sorry Clomid didn't work for you this cycle!

Antsynewlywed, we have already tried maca. I was on it for 1 cycle and hubby has been on it for a few months, along with about 10 other supplements.

Rosa, sorry you didn't get what you wanted at your appointment. Hopefully time goes by fast for you!
