@LabradorLover: i see the lines but i can’t tell darkness - photos never show lines well early so I’m just crossing my fingers for you that it isn’t trigger!

@LabradorLover: I'm with @bhbee: . I see the lines in all of them, but it's hard to tell if they are darker. I'm hoping that it's not the trigger anymore. The next couple of days should make that very clear. Keep us updated!

Ok so I tested tonight...tell me if you think the line is darker now!
I know the trigger shot could be lingering a little still but I really don’t think it would make the test change this much this far after the shot!

@crazydoglady: thank you!!! I think so too!! My husband said he isn’t getting excited unless it’s darker tomorrow morning so I’m waking up at 5am to test while he stands over my shoulder haha
Meanwhile, I’m walking around the house with the biggest smile I’ve ever had and keep telling my dogs “mommy’s gonna have a baby!” Haha

@LabradorLover: That doesn’t look like a trigger test to me! So much for tomorrow’s test!
Ps given how dark it already is ... if the morning looks the same i think that’s good news, may not have time to darken more yet!

@bhbee: thank you!! I agree with you but am shocked at how much darker it became in just 12 hours today. Hopefully it’ll just be darker and I won’t have to worry at all!
Don’t know what I would do without you ladies!

Here are my 5am tests! DH still isn’t totally convinced since “it’s not darker than last nights” ugh, he is killing me! I’m like stfu! I’m pregnant!!

@LabradorLover: eeeeek!! are you doing betas?
Also that’s an awesome line for 10dpo.

@crazydoglady: thank you! Last cycle I was getting very faint lines on the frer but the Wondfos didn’t show a damn thing.
@bhbee: thanks!! Betas are scheduled for the 20th. My RE schedules them for 16dpo and I doubt they would do it earlier since I did the trigger shot.

I just had another scan and was expecting to have 2 mature follicles since I had 2 at 14mm on Monday, but today I only have 1 at 17mm and a few medium sized ones, so my IUI will probably be on Monday instead of tomorrow. I'm so disappointed that only 1 follicle continued to grow, ugh. I don't know why I don't produce more than 1 ever.
They also told me to bring the trigger shot with me so I had it in a cooler with ice packs and due to the snow here it took me an hour and a half to get to the office and then I had to bring the stupid trigger shot with me to work and put it in the fridge here since of course I didn't need it this morning.
I really just feel like giving up sometimes. Sorry to be a downer, I'm just frustrated.

@PeaceLily: I'm sorry. Don't ever worry about being a "downer," that's what this group is for...to share the highs and the lows in this lonely situation. I hate to be cliche, but it only takes one.
kiwi / 548 posts
@PeaceLily: Yes, seriously don't worry about being a downer! We all have our moments and we are all here to pick each other up! Just like @crazydoglady said, it does only take one so keep your head up!

@crazydoglady: @LabradorLover: Thanks, guys! I know you are both right, it does only take 1. I was just so sure there would still be 2 so I was caught off guard. I wish I knew what the plan was now so I could prepare mentally for it. I hope I don't have to go back tomorrow for another scan, ugh.

Just found out my medium sized follicle was actually 16mm so I have a 17mm and 16mm now. I'm triggering Saturday night and will have the IUI on Monday so I should have 2 mature follicles, phew. That was stressing me out all day!
nectarine / 2813 posts
@PeaceLily: you're in my thoughts! I'm so hoping this is it for you. My IUI will probably be on Monday too!
nectarine / 2813 posts
I took my last shot of Gonal today and have my ultrasound Saturday morning. I'm really hoping I have 2 or 3 good follicles.. any more and I think they would cancel the IUI. I'm just ready to see what's going on in there!
apricot / 360 posts
@mrskansas: Yay, good luck! It's so nerve wracking when you don't know what's going on. I hope you have multiple follicles! Fingers crossed this is the little extra that you need to get your sticky rainbow.

@mrskansas: good luck tomorrow I hope everything looks great and this leads to your rainbow baby
@PeaceLily: good luck with your IUI, those follicles sound great
nectarine / 2813 posts
@LabradorLover: yay! Your tests look great!
Did you use Ovidrel or something else?

@mrskansas: @PeaceLily: Rooting so hard for both of you that things go well Monday!

@snarkybiochemist: @periwinklebee: Thank you!
@mrskansas: Today is day 13 so the IUI will be day 17. My last clomid IUI was on day 12 which was nuts for me since I naturally ovulate around day 19 or 20.

@PeaceLily: yay!! I had two follicles when I went in for my scan on a Friday, I think a 19 and a 16, triggered Saturday night and IUI Monday so I’m sending all of my good baby dust your way!!
@mrskansas: thank you!! I did use Ovidrel 250. Good luck to you with your IUI!!!

@mrskansas: definitely let us know how it goes!
@PeaceLily: So glad to hear you've got some good sized follies!

I have done acupuncture twice in the past two weeks and I am still just getting a high reading today at CD 15. I usually get positives on CD 13 or so, so I am hoping this is a good thing....we are keeping up EOD just in case.

@crazydoglady: of course I poas today and probably every day until my betas because I’m a crazy person! Haha
I was freaking a little because my frer from last night and this morning at 4:30 (so DH could see because he leaves so early for work) looked just like yesterday mornings but my cheapie and Walmart tests are definitely darker. Just took another frer (because again, I’m a crazy person) and it’s totally darker!!
I just ordered a bunch of different presents and such for our parents, it’ll be the first grandchild for them!!

@LabradorLover: that test looks good!!
Especially as you get further on in dpo i think you have to manage expectations about darkening. It might darken every day but it might take 2 days without anything being wrong ... depends on test type, dye in specific test, concentration of sample, lots of things ... just want to help you not freak out i hope the lovely lines keep going!!
nectarine / 2431 posts
@LabradorLover: It's definitely darker!!! What does the walmart one look like? Sorry I am so nosey!
kiwi / 548 posts
@bhbee: I totally agree now and really didn’t want to waste the second test this morning but am so glad I did because it put me at ease a bit. My husband should be happy too because he said he wanted a “clear positive” and I think that’s a good one, even though the others were pretty clear to me!
@crazydoglady: don’t worry about being nosey! I didn’t post all of them because I didn’t want to fill up the board with just my tests
nectarine / 2431 posts
@LabradorLover: Definitely darker!! That's no trigger Grow, baby, grow!! I know I can't speak for everyone, but I think it's good for us to see success stories, especially since there are so many IUIs coming up. Just so happy for you!
