I appreciate all the research that doctors have been doing, which has made IUI and IVF possible, but he definitely should've given you the choice! In any case, I'm glad that you're with someone whose plan you agree with and are excited about. Looking forward to some great news from you soon!</p> <p>@mk0180: So sorry to hear that. :( I'm in a similar boat - third IUI failed, now on a break before more treatment in August or so. You may not read this if you're already on your HB vacation, but good luck to you and it sounds like you have a great plan! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-613/page/3#post-865226 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 11:43:28 +0000 spaniellove 865226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MK0180: I'm sorry you've reached this point...taking a break sounds like a good idea. Happiness is such an important thing to hold on to. Enjoy your break to the fullest! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-613/page/3#post-865124 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 11:07:04 +0000 sweetooth 865124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MK0180: I'm sorry that this IUI wasn't successful for you. It sounds like you have a good plan for the break, and for when you return to treatment. Let me know if you have any questions if you get to the injectibles/IUI stage. I wish you the best - and enjoy that hot power yoga :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-613/page/3#post-865116 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 11:02:38 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 865116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MK0180: Sorry this go-round didn't work :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-613/page/3#post-865103 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 10:59:56 +0000 MK0180 865103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs.halfsie: Congrats :)</p> <p>@spaniellove: Glad to hear this RE is soooo much better :) good luck with your IUI!</p> <p>@TheSwissWifeStyle: good grief that sucks - I'm so sorry</p> <p>Well, AF showed her awful face on Sunday so the 3rd IUI was a total bust. We are taking a break for the next couple of cycles. I even deleted all of my fertility tracker apps on my phone. Talked to the nurse to let them know and also to know what our next step would be. We have a 3% chance of conceiving on our own. So I am focusing on exercising and eating more healthy than I have been and losing weight. Hot power yoga here I come! Oh how I missed it! </p> <p>In August we will resume clomid + IUI. If that doesn't work then more than likely we will move on to injectibles + IUI which is a lot more expensive so we'll have to save. I don't think my RE wants to jump to IVF quite yet which I appreciate. The nurse said there's no reason the ectopic would have hindered my fertility and the ability to get pregnant so that made me feel better as I was beginning to wonder if it had something to do with the failed IUIs. </p> <p>Anyway, I wish you all luck in your journeys. I hope that when I come back I don't see your names on these boards, if you know what I mean :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-613/page/2#post-864829 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 09:13:21 +0000 Shutterbug 864829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs.halfsie: congrats!</p> <p>@TheSwissWifeStyle: I've never gotten an evap before, but I can imagine how much it sucks! You should be able to sue wondfo or something, haha.</p> <p>@spaniellove: that's great news! And interesting that your new doctor would basically admit that about his colleague using you for research. Glad you're not an experiment anymore! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-613/page/2#post-864802 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 09:04:26 +0000 raintreebee 864802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: that is awesome news! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-613/page/2#post-864737 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 08:35:27 +0000 LovelyPlum 864737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TheSwissWifeStyle: ewwwwwwwwwwwww. I'm sorry :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-613/page/2#post-864736 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 08:34:01 +0000 sweetooth 864736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: I'm so glad you had a good appointment. It bums me out to think that other doctor was using you for his research. A new approach, and back to the IUI - I think this is going to be good for you :) </p> <p>@mrs.halfsie: congratulations to you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-613/page/2#post-864421 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 01:17:41 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 864421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: glad you had a good appointment!!</p> <p>@LovelyPlum: it's basically a false positive. For some reason you get a line where the real line should be. It's why they tell you not to look at a test after 10 mins. :o( But my "evap" turned into my BFP last time! Grr. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-613/page/2#post-864324 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 22:32:03 +0000 just_ju 864324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: I'm so glad you had a better experience with the different RE, and wahoo to a real treatment cycle! I hope things go well for you :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-613/page/2#post-864120 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 20:14:57 +0000 LovelyPlum 864120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: I'm so glad that you like him better! Yay for moving forward :)</p> <p>@TheSwissWifeStyle: sorry for being dumb-but what is an evap line? It sounds like something mean, but I'm not sure... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-613/page/2#post-864071 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 19:42:42 +0000 tequiero21 864071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: glad to hear u like this guy better. Hope it works out!!</p> <p>@mrs.halfsie: congrats!!! So </p> <p>@TheSwissWifeStyle: sorry for your disappointment. I wonder what causes those Evaps. I never got one. It was always negative! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-613/page/2#post-863541 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 15:11:16 +0000 spaniellove 863541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We met with the not-guru RE today and definitely like him so much better. He went through all of my RPL results (other RE said it was all normal) and told me my partial thromboplastin time was high and he wanted to test it again. I also get to lower my Synthroid dose, yeah! </p> <p>His opinion on my treatment was totally different from the head RE in the practice and I'm so glad we talked to him. He felt that we absolutely had a good reason to do IUI instead of TI; despite the other RE saying everything was fine there is still some male factor apparently that could be helped by IUI or IVF. So this cycle I'm going to do Tamoxifen and IUI, and depending on how I feel about this cycle I'll think about when to do injectibles. Woohoo for doing a real treatment cycle again!</p> <p>Oh, also...he confirmed what I suspected, that the other doctor was mostly using me for his research. :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-613/page/2#post-862647 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 10:42:02 +0000 spaniellove 862647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TheSwissWifeStyle: That is an awful feeling! It's especially cruel when you want to see those lines so badly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-613/page/2#post-862592 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 10:22:04 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 862592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PastaAndPotato: thanks.

My first evap. It happened on 2 tests and DH saw it too. It was suuuuper faint but of course I got excited. Ugh! I've resolved to not have tests in the house anymore after this batch is up. I just can't do this to myself every month again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-613/page/2#post-862334 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 08:24:51 +0000 spaniellove 862334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs.halfsie: Congrats!

I just wanted to poke my head in to say that I got my BFP this month, though I am very cautiously optimistic about it. I am only in my 5th week and am overseas for another month so I am feeling extra nervous. I went in to a local clinic to get my progesterone tested on doctors orders yesterday and they will take an entire week (!) to get back to me with the results. Meanwhile I am chewing my fingernails down to the bone! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-613/page/2#post-861672 Sun, 16 Jun 2013 17:26:58 +0000 LovelyPlum 861672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoBug: thank you! It's looking like it will be around July 2. I think I'm more nervous about the results than the pain, but I'm pretty sure that the waiting is way worse than the actual procedure will be. I hope that you have a great vacation, and that this TWW brings you some good news! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-613/page/2#post-860122 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 11:20:21 +0000 spaniellove 860122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@just_ju: I hope the injectibles do good things for you then! </p> <p>Graduation for my local high school must be this weekend, because seriously one out of every three houses in my neighborhood has balloons on their mailbox. It occurred to me that people must have had babies the year the houses were built, and I thought to myself that I might have really lost it if that many of my neighbors got pregnant all at once! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-613/page/2#post-860098 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 11:01:40 +0000 PastaAndPotato 860098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>thank you ladies so much for all of your support! yesterday went well, and now i'm still enjoying the last little bits of bed rest haha - thank you guys again, and hopefully i have good news in a few days! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-613/page/2#post-859279 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 17:00:54 +0000 just_ju 859279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: @ineebee: my cycle was canceled because my estradiol wasn't high enough to indicate a good quality egg - results were 19 on Saturday, then 24 on Monday and Thursday. Way too low for 12mm and 15mm follicles, and not even remotely where they should be at that point (CD15-19) of my cycle. </p>
