[Left wonderin]

Ok I've looked a FF ..... Have you ever considered the SMEP ? I kinda did it last month , it has a very high success rate

 

[josie1234]

Hi Regina, I have just looked that up and will defo try that. Thanks

 

[Kat S]

Yeah, keep us going, LW!!

Oh I never thought of it that way. Yeah, you are now in the 12 WW! Excruciating yet exciting. Hoping you make it with flying colors!!

OK, so tomorrow is IUI Day! Around 10am-ish EDT

This time a nurse measured me with two on the left at 16 each and one on the right ...I forgot what size but not quite there yet. I swear yesterday's nurse measured on one each side at 18!? I asked, and today's nurse said that some days follicles close together can appear like one follicle and you get a "bad" measurement. She said today they are nice and defined and she's sure of the measurements.

Hrm...16. I'm worried they won't be big enough to ovulate with the trigger and we'll miss it all. Is that a valid worry? I asked the nurse, and she says they'll be 18 by the time I ovulate tomorrow-ish, and that waiting to do the IUI until Monday (they are closed Sunday) will risk missing ovulation entirely. Damn. I really wish I had one extra day to grow. I hope it's ok. There's nothing I can do to change it, so I just have to hope and pray and be positive.

 

[josie1234]

PMA Kat. You have a good chance hun so stay positive.

 

[Kat S]

Thanks, Josie...I know you're right!

I had to give myself the Ovidrel injection. Oh my god, I was terrified! But I did it!!! And it was not painful or hard at all. Now I feel silly

 

[garfie]

PMA PMA Kat - and we are all scared of the unknown so don't feel silly

You did it

Left - Another day pregnant

AFM - Feeling a bit sad today - it would have been my Fathers 70th Birthday today - but instead he's in Heaven Days like Fathers Day (Sunday) and his Birthday are the hardest

Anyway I need to wipe my tears as my friend is bringing round her 2month old little girl for a cuddle

Have a good evening ladies

Kat you also need to remember that sperm live 3-5 days so a couple of days before OV would be fine. Try not to worry as that won't help, I know it's easier said than done!

I wasn't sure what smep was so I googled I too. It seems that what me and DH did, we DTD every other day and DTD on day on positive OPK and the 2 following days.

PMA for tomorrow kat.

Jo have a nice day tomorrow.

Fi and Regina , another day closer

Hi to everyone else

 

[josie1234]

Yes I am right. You are on your way there Kat. PMA PMA PMA

Fi, yes it is sad, my father-in-law died in April and it would also have been his birthday in June, just before our anniversary. Hope my DH will be ok as he is working Father's Day. I know he will be sad.

Enjoy the cuddles Fi. Right ladies, I am off to kettlebells class. Looking forward to visiting my DH tomorrow. Another day nearly down. OPKs arrived today, woo hoo.

 

[josie1234]

Thanks Lisa, yeh I had to look it up too but makes sense

 

[Kat S]

Garfie, hugs for you this weekend. I know it will be hard and I hope you get through it ok.

I know exactly what you mean hun, my dad was 70 when I lost him, it will be two yrs this August since he passed, I never go a day without thinking about him or missing him, Sunday will be hard, sending you lots love xxxxxx

 

[Kat S]

Oh no, Oasis, you as well? I'm so sorry! These holidays are well-meaning, but for those without dads (or who can't be a dad), it's really painful. Hugs to you!

 

[dancareoi]

Becks - v day tomorow!

 

[Oasis717]

[Oasis717]

[Left wonderin]

I'm so sorry and big hugs for all you ladies missing your Dads on Father's Day xxxxx
JO last month everyone told me to DTD every other day as before was doing it every day .... I took their advice and look what happened . It's something to do with expelling old sperm and giving healthy sperm the head start lol...... My oh says it worked cause we "got rid " of the bad sperm first lol.......

I got my date for my early scan today 12th of June , Friday 4 weeks . If all is going well and the little beanie is sticking around till then ill be 8w 4d . I also have the date for my 12 week scan 12 th of August . .... Was just thinking. How ironic it is , I should have been in the same hospital for a different reason that week in July ..... Meeting my first little soul. I'm hoping he/she is with me now and watching over me and my 2nd little beanie xxxxxxx
