    Callen, how many days post iui are you? I didn't get my positive until 16dpiui
  • lposhlposh Senior Member Senior Member
    Callen good luck tomorrow with the beta! Keep is updated.
    Kerri- I guess I'm one day behind you. Though I say I'm 2 dpo. I feel ehh. Stomach still swollen and sore. But nothing I can't just deal with. It's not getting worse. I guess I could take Tylenol but I'm trying to deal with it. It did take the edge off Thursday and Friday.
    I just hurt.. Ugh.
  • D-rizzyD-rizzy Senior Member Senior Member
    How did you guys add your picture? I assume it is under my profile but I can't seem to figure it out
  • lposhlposh Senior Member Senior Member
    Try album. I did mine on the old app
  • txgrl74txgrl74 Senior Member Senior Member
    I posted in the app post from fairfax and they said they are looking into why the apps are no longer on the store. The app is available for iPhone/iPad users as well as android.

    Thanks TX. I was trying to find the iPad app too and was also disheartened when the site was down. I've been happily reading your thread and silently cheering you all on and feeling your love. Tomorrow is the end of my TWW and testing in the morning. Love hearing your updates, ladies :)
  • lposhlposh Senior Member Senior Member
    I need mobile app this page drives me crazy!!
  • txgrl74txgrl74 Senior Member Senior Member
    Yes I like everyone else was frustrated that the forums were down. And then I started thinking what if they never come back up. Lol I let my imagination run wild some times. My sister kept saying it will come back up. Anyways glad it's back.

    I tried posting a hello 3 times! Stupid app. I jump in the tww pond with you ladies tomorrow! This is my 2nd iui. First one terminated in June. Here's to a bfp! This is our last chance for a while since I'm out of money to pay the doc and the sperm bank
  • Fairfax CryobankFairfax Cryobank Administrator Senior Member
    All mobile apps should be working once again! Please let us know if anyone continues to have issues.
    So sorry for the outage this weekend. Thank you so much for your patience.
  • lposhlposh Senior Member Senior Member
    Good luck Moonlit-
    My name is Lisa I'm 3dpo, 38 and single. This is my second round time doing iui in the past two months soo I'm super excited.
    Welcome to the group there are many of us in TWW and some on each side, like TX should be in TWW in a week or so I hope and drizzy/ Denise and Ny just got BFP!! Callen is going for her beta today so we all have fingers crossed and sending baby dust to her. I love these ladies. Infact I almost had a meltdown when the system went down over the weekend.. Lol
    Ladies- today I feel better. Less pain. I'm going to rest today. I again have my progesterone test tomorrow though I doubt I'll get my results because my ob off ice slow as snails and probably couldn't get a HPT result in a day. Let me quit bad mouthing though, they are gonna be the ones eventually helping get this precious baby into the world one day soon I hope. Anyway kisses to you all!!
    And so glad app is back up!
  • callencallen Member Member
    Welcome moonlit. Lisa you are too sweet. You really are. I am really glad you are feeling better. Went this am for the beta...still waiting on that dreadful phone call.
    Hope everyone is doing well.
  • callencallen Member Member
    Just received results ...it's a no...BFN!!!
  • janbabyjanbaby Senior Member Senior Member
  • lposhlposh Senior Member Senior Member
    Callen-- I'm sorry. That sucks.
    Do you plan on continuing?
  • callencallen Member Member
    Yes! Doing back to back IUI 'a this time. Can't wait to get AF (never thought I would ever say that) so it feels like a new beginning.
    Ok..so who is next? It has to be a positive for sure.
  • D-rizzyD-rizzy Senior Member Senior Member
    Glad you are getting back up on the horse Callen!! And I know that feeling of wanting AF to come quickly so you can start the process all over again. Good luck!
  • callencallen Member Member
    Thanks D-rizzy. Hope you are doing well.
    I was wondering if any if you ever looked at blood type when choosing a donor? I am O - and says it is difficult for this type to get pregnant?? Wondering if I need to choose a certain donor?
  • lposhlposh Senior Member Senior Member
    Callen what a firecracker you are! Love it!
    Soo saddened by the news of Robin Williams. You never know what struggles others have and this resonates how real mental illness is.
    I personally have had my bouts with major depression through out my life. With my last episode being a year ago. Without medication I don't know how well I would function. In regards to pregnancy it was a top question of wether I could continue my meds safely while pregnant? Thank goodness it is safe for me and a my future baby to stay on them. Though there is a small place in my mind that still worries about it. And wonders I how hormones might effect them.
    Kisses

    They think that it is crazy to buy semen from another country?
  • lposhlposh Senior Member Senior Member
    Mfs-I'm sorry you've experienced that.
    I imaged my unconventional way of getting pregnant was going to raise many eyebrows. However, My experience has been refreshingly the opposite.
    I've chosen to share my dream and it's specifics with others and rarely get any negative reactions.
    In fact most of the time it's draws a lot of curiosity initially, then overwhelming support and admiration.
    I consider myself pretty transparent and feel like life is about living the dream. I believe the path that we have chosen takes courage and brings empowerment.
    None of us have retreated from life's obstacle's. We in turn place ourselves with our hearts, faith and support from loved ones in the path of obstacles and jump higher over them.
    Kisses
    Lisa

    Hi callen, I am also O- , the nurse at my fertility center said I need to pick RH- and I am also CMV- so I was only able to pick CMV- as well. Let's just say I was only able to pick out of 20 donor
  • D-rizzyD-rizzy Senior Member Senior Member
    Lisa,
    My experience has been the same as yours. The people I have told are so incredibly supportive and helpful. I have never gone to any appointment or insemination alone. My friends love coming with me!! I have 3 people fighting over who is coming to my first ultrasound. It is an awesome feeling that I am but going through this alone. My Mom and Dad prefer that I adopt but my Mom has come around. Dad is still working on it
  • D-rizzyD-rizzy Senior Member Senior Member
    Callen- I am O- as well but didn't pay attention to what the donor was
  • TX_RAINTX_RAIN Member Member
    Hi Callen, sorry to read about the BFN. I had to smile about not being able to wait to get AF. I never thought I would feel this way until I started this process. Can't start process until next month but eagerly awaiting. I have a sister who is Rh-. Her OB thought that this contributed to her first (known) miscarriage. She had to take Rhogam after the miscarriage. She conceived successfully about a month later. Rh status can affect future pregnancies though usually not the first. I would ask your MD if you should choose a specific (Rh-) donor.
