So U/S went ok although I have one follie that desided to hang out for this cycle. They have it marked and it was at 16. I am starting 150 of Clomid this evening and then another U/S on the 5th. If U/S on the 5th goes well then trigger and iui on the 6th. I'm back on the decaf so holden tight til the 20th! Well, my b-day is 3/16 so that would be a nice b-day present! And here we go again. . .

 

[esbrick]

You're not a loser. Just so frustrating!!!!!!
I hate people like that.



Ugh!!!! Don't these people realize what they have????


Were you ever too frightened to hope or dream about a BFP?? I really want to believe that this is the month but I am too scared to for fear of bad luck.
I won't test until 1 day late just because it is too painful to see that negative.

i totally know what you are talking aobut. I know I just started this cycle but i'm not feelin it yet and as I said yesterday this cycle we're not tellin anyone what we are doing. Just going to say we're taking a break. I do need to get the positive back in me though. I believe that is helpful in some way right?

for everyone!

Wishing you birthday pixie dust for luck this month.


C'mon....let's work on closing this thread down ladies!!!!!

 

[cherbear]

Cherbear- Good Luck and fingers and toes crossed for you.
And Yup I meant mm they are HUGE 2months old and are not producing any hormones so they are no good. I only have one good follicle that is 25mm so they are hoping if I trigger it will release the old ones and I can start fresh.

I can trigger when I want to so I am going to trigger the Saturday we leave for Disney. That way I won't have AF for the 3rd time this month and I can have an AF vacation.

Good luck to everyone! Babydust!

thanks!! wow, well I think you have a good plan in order to have an AF-free Disney vacation. Enjoy yourself!!

As for me, AF arrived. I was spotting a bit on Thursday and Friday so I called RE's office. Today it's AF. I'm actually ok. Was sad but no tears since it was a long shot.

Monday I got for day 3 bloodwork which is a good thing because I'll finally get confirmation of a diagonosis soon.

I'm still holding out for a BFP for one of you this month!

to all

Rachael

sorry about AF! ugh!!!!

Well....Ladies.... I AM OUTTA HERE.......for now Leaving in 12 hours for my week long CRUISE My fertility monitor is still reading "high fertility" with NO PEAK YET... I am about a week away from AF....so who knows what my body is doing... I am taking a pregnancy test with me on my cruise....just in case...lol....I couldnt resist Anyway...GOOD LUCK to all of you while i am gone.... IM SPRINKLING LOTS OF BABY DUST TO EVERYONE You guys better have some AWESOME news when I return!!!

Have a ton of fun!!!!!!!!!

Well I tested again last night and same result Then of course AF arrived this am so it's confirmed.

I'm going on Monday to my endocronologist (sp?) so I can get a test for my thyroid levels and an A1C which looks at my blood sugers. Boss is out this week so if I need to go for any appointments I'm good to go.

OK ladies give me some good news!

crap!!!! This really sucks. I was so hopeful for you!!!

Have a GREAT vacation T&T. Hope YOU come back with good news!!!!

Sorry esbrick!!! Was kinda hoping your first test was wrong.

Okay... I am having very strange dreams and feelings. Like there is a baby within my reach and I just can grab him/her. Its very strong and brings me to tears. Does this mean the ship has sailed???? Forget it D&D - will always be just slightly out of reach. Very wierd.

I really don't know what this means. I definitely don't think your ship has sailed! Keep on keepin' on!

Don't worry about the dream D&D it probably just means that you are worried. I had a dream the other night that I took clomid and I went in the bathroom and chopped off all my hair and then my husband made me realize what I had done and I flipped! That obviously means I am worried about taking clomid...or I am really concerned about my hair

Question for you guys- How soon after you ovulate does your chest start hurting? Or does yours even hurt at all?

Before TTCing I don't really remember my chest hurting much that bad, just mild tenderness right before AF arrived. But for about the last 10 months they started hurting REALLY bad 5 days before AF, and the last two months it has started the day after I ovulate..so 14 days of torture! I can barely bend over or lay on my stomach or pull a shirt on . It is really getting annoying.

mine start hurting a few days after O. But lately I think it's caused by the progesterone supplements I take. Usually it's just my nips that bother me.

OK so dr's office just called. Tomorrow I will go in for an U/S and then start clomid that day. They are upping me to 3 pills a day for the next 5 days. Then IUI again on March 5th in the AM. I think I'm gonna just hang on this one, meaning not telling anyone (besides you all of course). I hated making that phone call to my parents the other day and they were sad for me as well so I'm just gonna chill. Per the nurse Dr.K likes to try 3 IUI's before moving on to more treatments.

So that's where I'm at! I'm not able to get psyched yet. . .

I'm glad you have a good plan!! Looking forward to this cycle for you. Good luck & baby dust!!!!

I got the results from my test this morning.......

BFN.

I feel like such a loser. I know of so many women who can get pregnant just by being around a man, yet I could sit on a chair where a pregnant woman has sat, bd every day, nothing. Then, I have this friend who got pregnant and she wasn't even happy about it. She already has two kids and 'wasn't prepared.' Well gee thanks for sharing.

Anna

Oh Anna, I am so sorry. Any idea what's keeping AF away?? I hope you can move on soon.

So U/S went ok although I have one follie that desided to hang out for this cycle. They have it marked and it was at 16. I am starting 150 of Clomid this evening and then another U/S on the 5th.

And here we go again. . .

16 at your cd 3 u/s?? That seems really big, wow! Hope you get a great bday present this year!!!!

 

[cherbear]

I'm caught up over here. Now an update on me!

It's IUI time baby!!! Yesterday I went in (CD 15) for my ultrasound and bloodwork. The ultrasound showed a big follie on the right side, at 23 mm. I was hoping for two, but this is a pretty good size so I'm happy with it.

My LH was 20.1 so I was surging on my own. They had me trigger anyway, and going in for my IUI this afternoon. They'll start the thaw when I get there and then should be having the procedure around 2 central time. Here's hoping that #3 is IT for me!!!!

 

[Kennywife]

Come on Cherbear! There's gotta be some good news around here!

Anna

 

[Kronk's girl]

Sorry Kenny's wife. I hope the next time is a charm for you!

And good luck with all these IUI's everyone- I know there will be a BFP from someone soon.

I have been feeling a little sick to my stomach the last few days, but I think it might all be in my head- it is probably just because I "want" to feel sick. I think I am having a hysterical pregnancy like the lady on Glee

Can't wait to come on this thread and see some really good news from someone!!

C'mon....let's work on closing this thread down ladies!!!!!

Oh honey thank you! From your mouth to God's and my ovaries' ears!

 

[WDWorBUST]

I absolutely positively HATE the 2WW. It's miserable......absolutely miserable. UGH!! I'm going to try and hold out until my test date according to fertility friend this time to try and avoid driving myself crazy. Of course today is 1 dpo and my test date is 3/7/10......it will never get here!!

Hang in there ladies!!

I can honestly say that this praticular friend does NOT realize what she has. She did finally get her boy. 4th try. B!$@h!!!

And yes!! That is EXACTLY how I feel right now! I think about it all the time and then I get depressed telling myself that it just won't happen. I know exactly what you are going through. It's really hard to stay positive with all of this. The 2ww is KILLER!!

 

[Leger13]

And here we go again. . .

That's weird that a follie decided to hang around. Is it still viable for this cycle? I'm keeping everything I can crossed for you girl!! I hope you get a BIG birthday surprise!!!

Sorry Kenny's wife. I hope the next time is a charm for you!

And good luck with all these IUI's everyone- I know there will be a BFP from someone soon.

I'm looking fwd to someone getting a BFP soon too! It's GOT to happen!!

I kwym thinking of phantom symptoms. I wish when we got pregnant that our big toe would turn blue or something. We need a CLEAR sign!! I hate how BFP symptoms mimic AF so closely. It's not fair to play with our heads that way.

I absolutely positively HATE the 2WW. It's miserable......absolutely miserable. UGH!! I'm going to try and hold out until my test date according to fertility friend this time to try and avoid driving myself crazy. Of course today is 1 dpo and my test date is 3/7/10......it will never get here!!

Hang in there ladies!!

I hate it too girl. I'm 7 days in....7 more to go until I can test. I wish there was a way we could just shut our brains off from thinking of all of this stuff. Ugh!! I'm testing on March 3rd so just a few days before you. I think Cheri will be testing on the 9th so we're all right around eachother. I hope we ALL get BFP's!!!

 

[cherbear]

yep Carla, I'm testing on the 9th!

IUI went well yesterday. A different dr. did it and I thought he was great. He really took the time to explain his methods and such. He injects air behind the "boys" so that you get a nice "seal". He also checked my uterus beforehand to determine if it was anterior or retroverted. Mine is anterior, and because of this, he had me turn over on my stomach and lay on the table for 10 minutes (which turned out to be over 15 minutes) to let gravity work its magic.

We ended up with 80 million but I didn't find out the exact % motile. He said "It's lower than we like to see". So that didn't thrill me. The nurse is supposed to call me today with instructions from MY doctor on when to start progesterone. So I am planning on asking her. The last couple times it was around 27% which my dr said was fine. (just as a reminder, we're using a donor so it's frozen)

 

[Kronk's girl]

Good luck cher bear!! I hope this is the one for you!

Well I feel stupid. I still have a little nausea and even though it is a little too early to test (only 9 dpo), I decided to test and got a BFN. I never test early- why did I do that!! Well, now I think I am getting the stomach flu, since we just visited my husband's family on Sunday who all just had it (we did not want to go, but they all insisted they were better). Now I am just annoyed . I have a lot to do, I can't get sick. Ugh.

Sometimes the smallest thing makes a big diff!

 

[Leger13]

awww sorry about the BFN Kronk but like you said, it is still early. Hopefully it will turn into a BFP for you!! And I hope you're not getting sick. Maybe start taking some meds now to knock it out early.

 

[esbrick]

Hi there! I'm actually home sick today. I'm fighting a cold flu. . . yuck. . . So quick question, I took Nyquil last night and my 150 of clomid. Will the Nyquil ruin it? Sheesh. . .

Spoke to the diabetic endo yesterday and he told me that although my Vit. D and thyroid levels are low and high respectively they are not low or high enough to affect my fertility. So it's good and not so good news. Good cause I'm ok, not so good cause I still don't have an answer.

Um and definately not a good idea to watch stories on haunted houses while home alone! I almost just dropped hot soup on me

Sorry about the cold E! You and Cheri both. Ugh. I don't think the Nyquil will have an affect on the Clomid but I dunno. Maybe you can call your RE and ask. That's what they are there for

Bummer on the levels too. Yay that you are still in the normal range but that still stinks that you are borderline.

LOL about the ghost stories. I love watching those shows too but I refuse to watch alone. Too bad Price Is Right is over by now (isn't it?)

 

[esbrick]

Good luck cher bear!! I hope this is the one for you!

aw man, hope you are not getting sick!!

yeah, that's what I'm hoping. This dr said he has the highest success rate for IUI at the clinic.

I'm fighting a cold too! But stuck at work. Since I left early two days in a row (for ultrasound & then IUI) I figured I ought to keep my butt here! Sticking it out, then we are going to Texas for the weekend (leaving tomorrow after work). Friends of ours who are getting married soon have their bachelor and bachelorette parties on the same day, Saturday. Glad I have something to keep my mind off the 2ww! Just hope I'm not so sick by then! But then again, I have a good excuse for not drinking!

 

[Kennywife]

Guess who's coming to visit me? AF! I can tell. I'm extra moody, crampy, have a bad headache, and want to jump off the roof of my house. Gawd, I hate being a girl sometimes. LOL.
