Welcome Houston, I am also in Texas. It took me 2-3 days before my first post showed. After that post, all other post showed up right away. I also had a myomectomy though mine was 7 years ago. Fibroids are back. I am looking into fertility treatment now instead of another myomectomy. I was supposed to be able to start treatment, but I need a minor surgery first. Probably won't have the first IUI until October. My date keeps getting pushed back. I started this process in early June and probably won't have my first IUI until October. The waiting is very stressful.
Pot0- fantastic news!!!!! You also
Did back to back IUI,a right?
Kisses
So sorry Lisa, I'm sending positive thoughts your way!!
Hi Houston and TX-Rain, I'm also in Texas. I was not able to try this cycle, so I am waiting for AF so that I can try again next cycle. Should start Thursday!!
Yes, I did a Clomid round 50 mg for 5 days, trigger shot and back to back inseminations.
Lisa - I will keep sending positive vibes your way. You do have a positive thing going for you in the fact you are covered for IVF next time if this doesn't work. I think fertility coverage should be mandatory, they have so much controversy over covering abortion / birth control, we want to create a life not end it, yet fertility is hardly ever covered.
So......since that B!@ch AF showed up on my doorstep carrying her little red bag today when she wasn't welcome, I will have to start again. I go in Wednesday for a baseline but not sure if I have to wait another cycle or not the nurse said something about maybe waiting a month since I did injectibles. Anyone else have to wait a month in between?
I've been trying to sleep for an hour now and no luck I think my mind is stuck on that darn beta result tomorrow.
Kisses
Lisa-thinking of you today. And I forget who asked but yes I am using injectables. So far I didn't have to wait in between cycles.
Lisa - you've been in my thoughts today; I hope you'll be receiving good news!
I did my trigger injection of Ovidrel last night at 11pm; headache and nausea all day today
Oh well, hopefully that means it's working!
I'm okay. This is just part of my journey.
I think I might start journaling.
Love you all for your kind words and prayers.
Kisses
I'm so sorry you both have another disappointment Lisa and jle.
I just took my first test. This is the last BFN I'll be happy to see. Trigger is confirmed to be out of my system so when I test on Sunday and Tuesday I will have peace of mind that the answer is the answer. I'm not even sure the trigger worked this time bc I'm 90% certain I ovulated at 9:30 the morning of my insemination instead of the night of the shot and I have only had only 1 symptom that lasted 3 days. It's making me nervous
My first IUI is tomorrow at 11am. Anyone know when I should start UPTing (or should I at all)? I see that some of you test to make sure that the trigger/Ovidrel is out of your system, then again at days 12 or 14 looking for a true positive. Is that right? Do you recommend it or should I just wait and do blood test at 14 days?
Thanks for any guidance you can give!
I've been feeling bad the last couple of days. It's weird I had the same thing last month lasted 2 days and was gone, but this month it seems to be lasting longer. I'm going to the doctor tomorrow to see if they know what's going on. I really don't want anything to stop me from being able to try this month since I had to skip last month. I'm supposed to start on Thursday.
I'm so sorry to hear about the negatives. Lisa, it is very exciting that you are going to IVF. The success rate is so much higher. Maybe your little one just requires a little more work! Hopefully he/she won't be high maintence his entire life! My insurance would only pay for IVF after 3 failed IUIs so you are lucky you can go right to it!! Good luck and keep us updated!
Tx- what are you feeling? Are you sad? Sick? I hope your okay.)
When I went to the specialist yesterday he said he required me to do a fertility counseling session since one I'm using donor and two I'm single. So after my negative results I called and made the appt. She said it's an hour and a half and we talk all about what your gonna do, how your gonna do it, what your gonna tell your kid etc... And then she writes a three page report to my doctor about the session! So of course I'm now nervous I'll fail the counseling!! Lol omg!! Denise you are right. This child isn't even here and it's another unexpected turn!! Lol
Lord I hope she doesn't fail me!! Haha!
Then I did just a tad of research on ivf and y'all it's looking like multiple shots a day! Fuk!
Moonlit. It's hard not to test before the blood test. I swore to God that I wasn't going to do it this past time and barely made it to 7dpo.. Lol just do the best you can.
Try what Denise did. Have a testing party!
I can't wait to hear Jle and Jan how your doctor visit goes tomorrow.
Kisses

To all of the girls who are still trying... We were 29 when we got pregnant with our first child. My partner carried her, it was a medicated round with piggy back inseminations and we were fortunate enough that it worked the first try (which that clinic and our current clinic told us was abnormal but that we were lucky). Fast forward almost 5 and it took me using the same donor four tries. Three unmedicated single inseminations, and one medicated piggy back. Our current clinic is one of the largest RE facilities in Atlanta if not the largest. Our RE told us that 4-6 tries is normal and that (if I remember correctly) 75% or so of women who go though 6 tries will be successful. I constantly compared myself to Nikki because she got it her first try... why wasn't I so lucky...what's wrong with me... will I get pregnant. I have been rough on myself... keep your chins up ladies. It is going to happen!!!
I go for my beta tomorrow am. They wanted me to come in today but I worked from home today and the office is an hour from our home but 10 min from where my office is. I'll stop by in the am and by lunch I hope to hear some numbers. Find out MAYBE if it is one or more... not sure but I'll check in when I get into the office.
For those of you who are hanging around that have already succeeded in getting a BFP and those who are still waiting. My thoughts and prayers are with you... I think about you all daily. This place is a source of strength as we go though procedures, heartache, disappointments, nerves, and excitement. It is nice to logon here and realize that you are not alone during this journey. I look forward to sharing many more of these types of moments with you all. My little IUI family...
