Hellobee Boards

@AmeliaBedilia: What CD are you? That is a great response to the medication! I had to do more than one ultrasound and the fact that you have 3 possible follicles is really good (I only had one)! I hope that this is it for you and will be thinking of you this week as you trigger and have the IUI.

Just a head up, but you might start to become uncomfortable in the coming days. On my first medicated cycle for an IUI, I was super uncomfortable the day that I triggered and up through the IUI.

Did they give you an idea of when you can DTD too? We could do it the night of the trigger, but then not again until after the IUI...

So, I'm 12 days past IUI and I cannot get the guts to test! I had so much cramping for the week after the IUI, that I'm very hopeful it was implantation. I've also been super tired the past two days and even took a nap yesterday and went to bed early. I think that this point, I'm so used to 2 years of disappointing tests that I'm scared to do it and have the same result I'll try to test tomorrow if AF doesn't show..

@delight: I decided at last minute to stay at my parents house last night, so I didn't have my thermometer with me. It really killed me to not have it! Lol. My temperature has bounced up and down so much this cycle that it's driving me insane.

@LoveHope: I've been really bad about symptom spotting too. And it's making it really hard to wait to take a test.

@NorthStar: So hopeful for you!

@KrzyRiver: oh the woes of thermometers- so annoying when you travel! DH and I went to Vegas last year and I had the thermometer on my nightstand. One of his friends visited our room and saw it and thankfully, I don't think he put two and two together, but I was mortified.

@NorthStar: his count, volume and motility are great. Morphology was 4% and went up to 5%. IUI is Friday at 7:00 (time DH gives sample). I have heard that morning counts can be a little higher.

@AmeliaBedilia: Thank you

With his numbers being good, I would DTD on Wednesday night and hope for the best!

@KittySunshine: My SHG was really no biggie. It wasn't a *pleasant* experience, but definitely not painful, either. HSGs are supposed to be more uncomfortable, but I think (as with most things), the internet is full of horror stories.

@LoveHope: That's the bad part of symptom spotting. No way to know what's causing it until you either get that BFP or AF. I've had sore breasts and cramping. I don't usually have those before AF but I'm not assuming anything since I'm on Femara and my period was a little different last month because of it.

@AmeliaBedilia: I *almost* packed it, but I really don't want my mom to know anything until I'm about 12 weeks along. But it's driving me crazy! Lol. Crazy how something as simple as taking my temperature has become such a huge part of my daily routine.

I'm not temping this cycle- I figure the monitoring is enough. Unfortunately, I found out my old HSA has much less than I thought. Darn DH has had lots of medical bills and I didn't realize how much. I have one with my new job, so we will be going to that soon. DH is opening his own, and I'm putting in more next paycheck. My RE charges 800/cycle not including meds. If you buy two, get the third free. If the first IUI works, they refund the $800 after you graduate.

Cycle Day:
TTC Cycle #:
POAS date: 8/12
Baby #: 2
Your situation: Secondary infertility. Got preg with DD on 3rd try. Have been trying for #2 since July last year. Saw RE, ridiculously low AMH.
What's happening this cycle: Did a high dose gonal f injectable cycle. Had two follicles at 19 and 20 at trigger on Thursday. BD Wed night, IUI on Fri and Sat mornings. Really really want this to work - we've decided not to go forward with IVF.
Just for fun: Unfortunately, no vacation. And we need it. High temps this week don't go below 100.

Fingers crossed for everyone!

@KittySunshine: my HSG wasn't a big deal. The worst part was the speculum. I hate those things. The rest was just a little pressure and pinching but it really was minimal. It was nice to see the screen while they were doing it and see that there were no blockages.

@2farmmoms: Thanks! Good to hear! The horror stories online talked about people being too distracted by the pain to see the screen. I agree with you, I definitely hate the speculum. I hate blood draws too but I knew I was ready to try for a baby once I was willing to consider the idea of going through a bunch of medical procedures.

I was kind of enjoying not having to go in for an annual appointment to get more birth control for a little while and I figured I'd just wait until I was pregnant to worry about an annual exam...until it stretched onward for months.

@NorthStar: So sorry.

@LoveHope: sending good thoughts.

I haven't ovidrel injection tomorrow night. DH was supposed to go out with friends, but offered to skip it to do the injection. I'm gong to watch the video to see if I can do it. I'm also debating on when to BD with DH- tomorrow am or at night. IUI is Friday.

@NorthStar: hugs

@LoveHope: Seriously, if it stresses you out to think about testing, then I wouldn't do it. After myself seeing 2 years of disappointing tests, I would wait until at least the day after you expect AF (if you are typically regular). That would be my suggestion, but I know how you feel. You want to know and at the same time, you don't want to know. {hugs}
