    Booo janbaby. I'm sorry. I just had my first IUI and I have my blood test this Sunday. I don't feel pregnant so I'm gearing up to mentally prepare myself for round 2 next month. are you going for it again next month?

    Thanks ladies. Brina, the doctor wants me to take this month off to give my ovaries a rest from all the back to back months of meds. She said it sometimes help to do this, also she had me do an AMH test to check my egg reserve, which scares me that she wants to check that hopefully that will prove to be ok. I have to work on getting some more vials if my donor so this will give me a little time to do that. I have a couple of ladies in Canada that are willing to sell me their vial of our same donor. Then Fairfax has some non-quality too I can still buy. Not giving up yet.

    Hi Ladies, so AF came today, I went in for my baseline ultrasound and start Femara on Sunday, then the Gonal F on Thursday. Here we go again!!!! Crossing fingers and toes this is the month.

    Good Luck Brina, hope you get a BFP!!
  • brina2784brina2784 Junior Member Junior Member
    Went for my blood test today and on the way home, AF stopped in. Dangit!! Big FAIL for month one of unmedicated IUI… Going to ask for the test to check for tube blockage and try again next month and then ask for meds on the 3rd month. Here we go again!
  • HoustonHouston Member Member
    Hang in there, Brina! And good luck this month, txgrl!
    I'll be halfway through my tww tomorrow. I'm occupying my time with house hunting :)

    Have a good rest of the weekend everyone!
  • janbabyjanbaby Senior Member Senior Member
    Sorry Brina :-( Good luck to you TX and Houston, I'll keep praying for you two ladies!

    Kerri, how is everything going with your pregnancy?
  • POT03005POT03005 Senior Member Senior Member
    Hey Jan- Things are going wonderful. Been feeling flutters for a week or maybe a little more. I am almost 16 weeks. I look pregnant now instead of just looking fat! :)

    How are you holding up?
  • janbabyjanbaby Senior Member Senior Member
    Wow time is flying I can't believe you are that far along already, a few more weeks and you can find out the sex. Are you going to find out or keep it a secret? I am hanging in there it gets a little more difficult each month.
  • POT03005POT03005 Senior Member Senior Member
    I understand. Not sure of your number, but it took 4 for us this try. Our first child my partner got pregnant with on her first try.

    Yes, we will find out the sex and no it won't be a secret! We go back on the 24th, maybe we can find out then, but not sure. Yes, time is flying. Denise is 18 weeks now I think.
  • D-rizzyD-rizzy Senior Member Senior Member
    Yep, 18 weeks for me!! I haven't felt any flutters or kicks yet but heard the heartbeat last week so she is still in there!!
  • POT03005POT03005 Senior Member Senior Member
    Maybe you have felt them and just didn't know it. It's been a weird sensation for sure. Doesn't really compare to anything else I have ever felt except maybe gas a little! :)
  • janbabyjanbaby Senior Member Senior Member
    I didn't feel them until right around the time we found out the sex of my son. Then towards the end of the pregnancy if you don't feel them you start to panic if it's been awhile, lol. Kerri my son took 3 tries because I was taking an ovulation predictor kit at home up until the 3rd try then I used Femara and Ovidrel and that did the trick. The twins I got pregnant with on the 2nd time for that round. This year has just been crazy after that loss, having to wait 2 months then tried the next month with a negative, then the following two months we had too much stimulation, then this month just another negative. Hopefully this months break will do the trick!

    Thanks Jan! Went today to get an ultrasound for Clomid and found out I have a cyst so he said no go on Clomid but it's ok to do IUI. Anyone out there get pregnant with a cyst on an ovary? Go for HSG next week. Hopefully that will trigger something and it will stick.
  • txgrl74txgrl74 Senior Member Senior Member
    So I start my shots tonight. The anxiety has already started.:eek:
  • Beecee007Beecee007 Junior Member Junior Member
    Hello Everyone,

    So I had my very first un medicated IUI yesterday, I am so nervous / excited!!! I'm going into this as a single mother by choice so this is the beginning of an amazing adventure. The TWW is going to be brutal. How can anyone not focus on every twinge??? I was told to come back for blood test on the 29th so we shall see.
    Baby dust to everyone!
  • D-rizzyD-rizzy Senior Member Senior Member
    Good luck beecee! I got pregnant in my second unmedicated IUI and I hope you are successful as well! I am also a single mom and excited to start my adventure! The TWW are tough, try to keep as busy as possible. Keep us updated!
  • Maíra e BethMaíra e Beth Junior Member Junior Member
    First(and I hope last) IUI on past friday. My partner and I are so f nervous. I'm looking for any sign, any little different thing on my body.
    We're from Brazil and after 2 months waiting for the donnor sperm, we finnaly had our treatment started. We decided to import the sperm because here in Brazil the donation can only be annonimous, and we want the ID possibility. My body respond to the treatment perfectly. I produced 3 big folicules after 5 days with femara and a ovidrel shot on 12 day. The IUI occurred on 14 day of my cycle. Two days has passed and OMG, I'm getting crazy. Can you please help??
  • txgrl74txgrl74 Senior Member Senior Member
    Well here I go again. Went in this am for my ultrasound appt. I have two follicles on the right one is 21.5mm and the other is 18.5mm. I will do my ovidrel shot tonight at 8 and have my first IUI tomorrow at 3:30 and my second at 11:30am Tue morning. Wish me luck!
  • brina2784brina2784 Junior Member Junior Member
    Good Luck txgrl! Hopefully this is your month! I'll be right behind you as I'm thinking I'll be ovulating on Friday. Get my results from HSG on Tues so hoping that's good and then praying that this cyst will go away so that if it doesn't take this month I can start Clomid next round. Come on Thanksgiving babies!!
  • POT03005POT03005 Senior Member Senior Member
    Good Luck TX!!!!!!!!
  • txgrl74txgrl74 Senior Member Senior Member
    Had my first iui this afternoon at 3:30. I Think I'm going to have to find a new donor though. The sperm count this time was barely 3 million. I go in again tomorrow for my second at 11:30.
  • pastoralanpastoralan Junior Member Junior Member
    Txgirl...who did you use? Arent they supposed to be at least 10 million? We just got 4417 and were told that he has at least 10 million.
  • txgrl74txgrl74 Senior Member Senior Member
    Fairfax standards is 10 million. I have been using 4810. The first time I used him his numbers were awesome. It was like 32 million or something. But all the ones since have been between 7 and 10 million. I have been refunded twice already and this will be the 3rd time.
  • janbabyjanbaby Senior Member Senior Member
    Good luck girls! TX, I got pregnant on low quantity sperm like that, it only takes one!
  • TX_RAINTX_RAIN Member Member
    Good luck, TX. I hope this is your month.
  • txgrl74txgrl74 Senior Member Senior Member
    Thanks Ladies!!!
  • krsb16krsb16 Junior Member Junior Member
    So I haven't been on here for a while, trying to stay busy so I don't go crazy! First of all good luck to everyone currently in tww. Congrats to Kerri and Denise, hope everything continues to go well.
    As for me I had my 2nd IUI on the 7th, so this is the last week of waiting. I do have a question... Does anyone keep track of their basal temp? My temp spiked when I ovulated but I have read that if you are pregnant it should stay elevated. Mine was up for 7 days and has gone back down to normal. Does the temp always stay up or has anyone had a bfp with bbt going back to normal?
  • MoonlitwishMoonlitwish Member Member
    I've been tracking my bbt and the first month it spiked post ovulation and then dropped the day of my period. This month there was no spike and no ovulation. Since my periods are killing me, I am going back on the birth control until we are back on sound financial footing. AF is due today. She's late. First time this year she's late and first time since April that I know I'm not pregnant. grrr
