If it helps you to know, I just used OPKs with back to back iuis and ended up with a pregnancy. It can work even without fertility meds + trigger, but it also may take more than one cycle. Wishing you lots of luck!
Nope got another negative :-( I am going to change up donors and see what happens there. The donor I was using had great numbers but I am grasping at straws at this point.
AHayden, sounds like your old clinic did the same protocol that mine does. When I first started fertility treatment I used the OPK also and it would only show when I had already started ovualting so we tossed that aside and started using the Ovidrel shot.
Just dealing with post iui cramping now and hoping the next two weeks flies by...
I'm so sorry to hear that janbaby. You'll continue to be in my prayers and continued baby dust. Please keep us updated when you have your next round. Good Luck with finding a new donor.
Janbaby I am so sorry to hear that! You know that I know exactly how you feel! Like you I am changing donors once my numbers and AF show up again. It's hard but stay positive. Just know eventually it's going to happen. It's what I tell myself.
ahayden- Our first IUI was 7/7 we are 13 weeks pregnant today
Let me try again, and hopefully I'll get everyone I got in the first one...
ahayden - You ARE late!! Test!!!!
mcaldiver - Have you tested? Or are you waiting until tomorrow?
dimples - How are you doing?
Heather - How do you feel about twins?? That's awesome!!
janbaby - I'm so sorry. It's very disheartening to get a negative. I hope that changing up your donor will change things for you.
We are wrapping up our TWW this week. I have a blood test on Friday morning, and will likely take a hpt that morning. I'm feeling a little crampy, but also a little weird...like warm in my uterus. Hard to describe. It's so hard not to read into every. little. feeling. TWWs are just awful. I did get nauseous this morning, which thrilled me to no end....but it could be the progesterone. It could ALL be the progesterone. It could ALL be my period. Friday can't get here soon enough. I have completely accepted that our doc gave us some serious hope when she asked if we wanted to take a chance at conceiving multiples...it just seemed so possible to just get pregnant. And we all know it isn't that simple. Surely since I ovulated 3 mature eggs, one of them took......right???
ahayden - I totally understand what you mean about feeling like you are going to start your period. I'm feeling the same. I remember very clearly believing and being 100% certain that I was about to start my period when I was actually pregnant with my son. I'm hoping that's just how I am when I'm pregnant. The "not knowing" is so difficult. I hope that's the case for both of us...I'll be waiting for an update from you and, in the meantime, just hoping and praying that you are pregnant. This whole process can really mess with us.
JJZFamily fingers crossed.
Ahayden this whole process sucks. Good luck to you.
Congrats to those with the bfp!!! Such and amazing journey!!!
I tested this morning because I had a dream that I got a faint positive and I couldn't stand it anymore...lol. I'm only 11dpo, but First Response Early Result is "supposed to" be able to detect pregnancy 5 days before a missed period. I was tossing and turning all night and keenly aware of my aching back (meaning, AF is coming). It was, of course, negative. I'll test again on Friday before I go in for the blood test. I definitely feel like I'm going to start my period though, and I'm gearing up for the call from the doc on Friday to confirm that I'm not pregnant. I'm starting to wonder how anyone gets pregnant ever....lol. We KNOW there were 3 good eggs this month. Anyway....on to Friday.
My symptoms so far: I had bad constipation for first 3 days post iui - which i assume is most likely the meds. Today (day 4 piui) have breast soreness.
tww sucks. Anyone else trying this month or in the tww?
