Trying Clomid and IUI in January and Excited and Nervous. Anyone else?

[waitingongod1]

Mommie- don't worry about it. There has to be a reason why iuis are most successful 36 hrs after trigger!

 

[dojenstein]

Mommie, I agree that you should not worry. It's true that IUI's are most successful 36 hours after trigger. Don't worry too much.

Jena, that's great news about your job. Congrats. This is going to be quite a year for you! Yeah!

AFM, nothing new. Going for my US tomorrow and according to different websites I'm either 5 weeks today or 5 weeks 3 days. So I don't expect to see much tomorrow. I'm not gonna freak myself out over it anymore.

Right now I'm focusing on the positives...I only have 2 1/2 more hours of work until I'm outta here and off on Monday. And my fiance is working late tonight so I have to pick up his son and take him home. But it means I can stop by Popeyes and get him dinner and not worry about cooking or doing dishes. Sweet! Then I can sit on my butt and watch the Oscars without anyone bothering me. (It's hard to be the only female in the house...but I do hope that will change in about 9 months...hehehe).

Waiting and Doj, you answered an unasked question I'd had. I didn't know IUIs are more successful 36hrs after trigger. I though maybe my RE had waited too long and that's why my first one didn't work. I can put that thought to rest and focus in this cycle.

I start 50mg Clomid tonight. We're also going to sway for a boy, DH has 2 girls. I know this isn't the thread for it but do you ladies believe in the sway methods? Baking soda, cream of tartar, alkaline foods?

 

[dojenstein]

Hi Sugar, how have you been? Personally, I don't believe you can sway gender. I'm just a skeptic about stuff like that. My DF laughs at me because I truly believe this bean is a girl. I just feel it. He gets a kick out of that. He thinks its a boy. I already have a tummy from the bloating and he says that's a boy. Whatever, I'm sticking with women's intuition.

Ladies this Clomid is kicking my butt this time around!! I was fine up until today =[ I'm having like mega hot flashes lol. Thank god tonight is the last pill

I've decided I'm not going to do any of the "extra" stuff this cycle like Pom juice and pineapple core...If it happens it happens

 

[dojenstein]

Hey, good to see you Jennifer. Sorry this round of Clomid is kicking your ass. Just consider it preparation for what's to come...but as everyone says, if it gives us a healthy bean than it's worth it.

And I didn't do any of the "extras" either. I don't think they really do much...personally. But like I said before I'm just a big skeptic about certain things. I mean, they can't hurt but meh.

So I'm officially home and off from work for the next like 36 hours. I'm already under my blankie and in my stretchy clothes. It's glorious.

 

[waitingongod1]

Jennifer! Yes on cd9. Hot flashes galore!

I completely understand on both parts. It is exhausting. But it will be worth it.

Good luck today doj...Prayers for you

Hey ladies. Had to cancel my doctor's appointment because apparently my fiance asked me like a month ago to pick up his son from school on Monday and Thursday of this week (my two days off) since the babysitter was unavailable. And the appt was at 3:30, the same time I have to pick up Zach. So I rescheduled for next Monday. Obviously I'm bummed because I wanted to put my mind at ease, but I'm only 5 weeks and I hear you don't see much at 5, but you have a better probability of seeing the baby and the heartbeat at 6 weeks, and my fiance can be with me at the appointment. So I guess its for the best.

Thanks for the update. Sounds like a great visit.


Hey success mommies I made a new thread about clomid, symptoms dpo and how many babies. Would you guys share your experience? trying to keep posting to help with this tww.

 

[Mags623]

Doj- it will be nice to have DF with you for the ultrasound. Enjoy your time off

Florida - that's awesome!!! Very good numbers!

My hcg went from 265 on Friday to 1257 today. I'm really excited! It's nice to see some good numbers. My first ultrasound will be next week Tuesday!

Oh wow we are going to get to read a lot of pregnancy journals! Please keep us updated in the thread.

So much pleasant news today.

Florida are they able to tell if it is mulitiples yet?

 

[floridamomma]

Not yet. Dh believes it's twins so I say triplets to drive him nuts lol. We'll know next Thursday

 

[dojenstein]

Hey ladies.

Mommieh - I posted on your new thread. I know how hard the TWW. But somehow the waiting really never ends. But yes, the TWW was the hardest part.

Mags & Florida - Those are great numbers. Excited for your scans. Florida, do you really think it's multiples? I'm worried about one, can't imagine multiples. Don't know what I would do. I'm lucky that DF pretty much raised his son himself so at least one of us knows what we're doing.

So I was dropping DFs son off at school and some jerkface opened his car door right as I was driving by. Totally wrecked the front of my car. Went to the shop and damage is $2K. I'm pretty sure the jerk who opened the door into traffic is responsible but I have to bring my car in on Thursday for 8 days which means I'm gonna have to drive some crappy rental car in the terrible Chicago weather. So not really the day off I imagined. Although I did get in a nice 3 hour nap, so not all was lost.

Hope everyone else's day is going better.

 

[floridamomma]

I don't know and honestly don't think I could handle 2 right now. My family has a lot of twins. My twin nieces(14) were a handful and I'm not ready for that lol

 

[Jenafyr4]

I would love twins but pretty sure there's only one in there. Had another beta today and of course no results so probably won't know till the morning when I go in for my scan. I've had a rough few days and have been down. Praying tomorrow brings good news

 

[floridamomma]

It will jen❤️
