@LoveHope: I don't know - I just had my pelvic ultrasound today! I hate the waiting game - hopefully your little cyst is no big deal!
-
@ms.line: keep us posted on your results. I hope so. I was doing some research and lots of ladies were able to get pregnant so hopefully it's not an issue.
-
@LoveHope: I haven't had a cyst, but I would imagine if you ovulate out of your right ovary it wouldn't matter.
Just got the call that I go in for my iui tomorrow morning and they just had me trigger - so that will be 17 hours after my trigger, and I won't ovulate for another 20 or so hours after that. i know sperm can live for awhile, but I feel like they should be timing it to ovulation perfectly. I'm so frustrated.

Question for @mrskrb and others about IUI timing...
They want me to trigger tonight (Thurs) and do the IUI Sat morning (so 36 hours later)... that does seem ideal to me and I don't know why they're having you come in earlier @mrskrb.
However, my issue is that I am in a wedding 5 hours away and cannot possibly do the IUI saturday morning. Tomorrow morning would be MUCH better.Any advice of what to do? Should I skip the rehearsal dinner on Friday night and just leave right after the IUI Saturday morning?? I'd end up getting to her house for hair and makeup hours after everyone else and need to rush to get mine done. Stress the bride does not need... but would she understand if it means a higher chance of me conceiving a kid? So frustrated with the timing. Is it really that bad to BD after the trigger instead of the IUI?? HELP!
-
@YogiRunner: Which would you regret more later on - missing your friend's rehearsal dinner and morning-of prep, or having this cycle be a bust because you skipped/moved the IUI? It's really a crappy situation! Is your DH's sperm quality good? Maybe you could just trigger and then set aside time for TI Friday night/Saturday morning.
-
@ms.line: it is so hard because I want do right by my bride friend, but I am so nervous that this cycle won't work and I'll only blame myself. DH sperm quality is good, we have no diagnosed issues... maybe TI is almost just as good....
-
@YogiRunner: I think your friend would (or should!) be understanding of your situation. It's not like you'd be missing the actual wedding, and she'll be so busy with so many other things/people/emotions the night before/morning of. IF sucks, and it requires self-care. If you know you're going to beat yourself up over not doing the IUI, maybe you should just do it?
-
@ms.line: good advice. I actually got in touch with the doctor on-call and she was wonderful. She said I have a 18 mm follicle on one side and 22-23 mm on the other but I have not surged naturally yet. So they are testing me again tmw AM and if i still haven't surged, I'll trigger Friday night and do the IUI Sunday morning. If i did surge, trigger immediately and IUI Friday afternoon (missing rehearsal but worth it). IF does suck!!
-
@YogiRunner: That sounds like a great plan!
-
@YogiRunner: that's tough! I would feel terrible if I skipped the rehearsal dinner and the cycle didn't work on top of it. Also, I feel like you might be so stressed the morning of the iui of you know you have to rush to the wedding which wouldn't be good! I just spoke with my RE about my concerns and he said there is no difference in the amount of success as long as the iui is between 8 and 36 hours after trigger.
-
@YogiRunner: that's a good plan! I think I like your dr better than mine
I know you're in New England - any chance your RE is in CT? Haha.
-
@mrskrb: GREAT to know re: timing and success! Ha, if my RE had an office in CT then I'd just do the IUI there on the way to the wedding!
But alas their offices are just in Mass, NH and ME... Honestly the RE who called me isn't even my usual doctor, but she was SO LOVELY that I kind of wish she was!
-
@LoveHope: I have an ovarian cyst. I was told "it could hinder, it could not hinder". If it is hindering u ability to conceive, I still have the chance when I ovulate from my other side. Half the time it doesn't effect fertility. So....not really an answer for you. Sorry.
-
@aphelila: this is also my first month using the Fancy opk too! I have yet to see anything, but I'm still early. I'll be following along to see what others say.
-
@LibbyLou: Same here. I have one in my right ovary and was told it happens often to people in 20s and 30s. My doctor said it wouldn't hinder and should go away, but it's been a few months so I think it's about time to get it checked again.
-
@YogiRunner: Ugh- the extra stuff we have to go through. Big hugs!
9DPO. My temp was slightly down the last two mornings, but still above the coverline. DH says it was cold yesterday morning, and I think it was today as well. Lots of CM so fingers crossed. Got some really good news that some major stress is going away, so I'm really happy about that. A BFP would be so wonderful on top of that, but our timing wasn't fabulous- O-4, O-3, O-2. Then nothing went right.
-
@AmeliaBedilia: Glad big stress is going away! When will you POAS?

@AmeliaBedilia: glad the stress is going away, that's aaalllllways a good thing! And your timing could totally work. Good luck!
-
@AmeliaBedilia: good luck!
@YogiRunner: did you find out when your iui would be?
Had my iui this morning, it was way less stressful than last month, and dh's count was great. Hoping to bd tomorrow morning when I expect to O and then we wait!
-
@MrsKRB: Yay! Fx for you!
-
AF arrived today
-
@MrsKRB:
-
@MrsKRB: I'm in the waiting room now! It's going to be a close call to make the rehearsal but I'm hoping the bride is understanding
Glad to hear yours went well!! Best wishes for this 2ww
@sslm: ugh, I'm sorry to hear that
-
@sslm: Sorry to hear.
@yogirunner:
Safe travels, have fun at the wedding!
-
@sslm: I'm sorry!
@YogiRunner: have fun at the wedding! It's good to get your mind off things!
-
@sslm: I'm so sorry.
I've been feeling pretty down about this cycle. I was pretty optimistic a few days ago, but since then my breast pains have gone down and my temp has been hovering right above the cover line. I've been having a lot of stomach pains, but I think they are do to a (hopefully) IBS flair-up. After this cycle it's been a year since we began this long journey. It makes me really sad to think a year ago I was so excited to start TTC. I never thought a year after I started I still wouldn't be pregnant. I never thought that I'd have to go through a MC and a CP. I never thought I would be 32 and not pregnant. Anyways, thanks for listening, I just needed to get that off of my chest.
-
@auggiefrog: Big hugs. I can relate to the feeling - I have a wedding coming up next month that I was SURE I wouldn't be able to drink at, even if TTC took longer than I anticipated. And here we are: I'm not pregnant, and time marches on. Stay strong.
-
@auggiefrog: be strong. This is a tough journey. Last year around this time we were ttc and were so excited. We talked baby names, we made baby moon plans and a year later, we're still not pregnant. One day it will happen and because of our struggle, we'll appreciate it that much more. Hugs
-
@auggiefrog:
It WILL happen, some people have to wait a little longer, but that it just means it will be that much better
-
AF came yesterday. I didn't have high hopes for this cycle, but my LP of normally 11 days was only 9- shortest ever. I was under major stress which is now over, so I hope that's all it was. I looked over my past charts and noticed that metformin made it 12 days, and the cycle after that was 13. I'm going back on. DH will do his repeat SA this month and I really hope the morphology is normal.
I echo a lot of the recent thoughts. We just passed two years. I feel like I should be debating on TTC #2 by now. Everyone else is pregnant it seems, including people who don't want a baby, have a relationship about to break up, can't afford one, etc. and here we are with nothing. It's so hard to work so hard on something so important and not feel any closer.
-
@AmeliaBedilia: I'm so sorry. Hugs to you
-
@MrsKRB: @LoveHope: @ms.line: Thanks girls. I hate hitting one of the milestones and dealing with the fact that I didn't have a baby/ get pregnant by (2014, 2015, my 32 birthday, a year of trying, etc). My next big milestone date is the EDD of my MC in August. This one I dread worse then all the other's combined I think.
-
@AmeliaBedilia: I'm sorry about your AF and short LP. It must be hard being around someone in that situation. I don't think I could do it at this point.
-
@AmeliaBedilia: I'm sorry to hear about AF. I agree that one of the hardest things about TTC is the sense of trying so hard, but not getting any closer. You can't see progress; it's an all-or-nothing.
-
I'm in. Looking forward to a new plan this cycle.
Cycle Day: 1
TTC Cycle #: 9
POAS date: probably around the 29th. Should O around the 14th.
Baby #: 1
Your situation: most of you probably know. My wife and I have been trying using a known donor for 9 months. We have been doing at home insemination ourselves. No luck.
What's happening this month: AMH and FSH testing, probably on Monday. HSG a week later or so. Also taking Clomid for the first time days 3-7. Then we're hoping to do an IUI. It will mean switching donors probably, as well as traveling 5 hours because the clinic near me refuses to do the procedure with our known donor. -
@2farmmoms: I saw your other thread. How incredibly frustrating! I didn't realize there were such complicated legal issues with using a donor. I hope you can get some answers this cycle and can do the IUI with the new donor.. I wish you luck!
-
It's 12DPO for me and I got a BFN. I wasn't really expecting to get a BFP, so I guess it only confirms what I already know. Now I'm just sitting around waiting for AF.
One positive thing is that despite not taking additional supplements to lengthen my LP, I've held out until at least 12DPO. Yesterday I did start to get light AF cramps, so it's possible AF will arrive today, but I'm kind of hoping that it holds out until tomorrow.
Should I continue to not take the additional B6? I already have some in my prenatal, and I'm getting so sick of taking a dozen or so pills each day. Before starting the B6 my LP was usually between 10 and 12 days, when I was on it it was pretty consistently 12 days, and I even think I hit 13 days a cycle or two. -
@2farmmoms: I'm sorry you are having to deal with all of this. Sounds like a bunch of bull.
-
@Colee: Thanks. Yeah, I didn't realize it either. I'm very frustrated with the clinic for taking our money and leading us on, but I'm happy to have found some really nice midwives who will do the IUI no problem using known donors. It'll mean traveling every month, but hopefully it'll work quickly and we won't need to travel much. It'll be worth a couple days of missed work and a long car ride to go to someone who is happy to help us.
@auggiefrog: Sorry about this cycle. This whole process is so frustrating. I'm trying to think about the bright side. My partner at the beginning was supportive, but very nervous about having kids, mostly because of the financial reasons. I said if we wait till we're ready we'll never be ready, so lets just go ahead and try and we will do the best we can. Our kids might not have all the fancy stuff, but neither of us did growing up either and we did just fine. Our kids will have 3 acres to play on, lizards to catch, chickens, goats, and horses to play with, etc. Not a bad life. Anyway, in the last 8 months she's realized that we are spending a lot each month TTC and that we're still doing fine, so she's feeling a lot less nervous about having a kid. Maybe now that she's really ready, it'll finally happen for us!!
I know you're in New England - any chance your RE is in CT? Haha.
But alas their offices are just in Mass, NH and ME... Honestly the RE who called me isn't even my usual doctor, but she was SO LOVELY that I kind of wish she was!
