    Good luck to you as well! I"m new to this forum, but I love the support I see from all.
  • A&DHarterA&DHarter Member Member
    Good luck! There are 5 of us who are currently pregnant with two more in the two week wait so we are hoping for 7 confirmed pregnancies in the next week or so. Tball and I have discussed creating a private Facebook page for those who are interested. I have most of your e mail addresses already but if you want to be included please PM tball or I with your info. Good luck ladies!

    Love this! I selected the same donor too and plan to start at the end of September. I'll have to keep this group in mind. You ladies are so supportive.

    Hang in there Jacklyn! Almost there! Sending positive vibes and sticky baby dust your way! How are you feeling?!
  • mrccjfmrccjf Member Member
    Like an eternity. We'll see how many of these I can take :rolleyes:

    I feel ok, I was due for af yesterday and still nothing but I also took a test today and it's negative...so we will see, it's still a little early for the test. What day did y'all get a positive hcg test?

    I'm on 11dpo and got a negative on an EasyHome HCG test strip this morning, but I'm also not do for af until Thursday, so we shall see. If I haven't started by then then I will take a proper pregnancy test. Keeping my fingers crossed for you, I've read many accounts where people didn't get a BFP that early.

    We tested on day 11 post iui on a first response (not digital) and got an indeterminate answer...looked kind of negative but slightly positive. I chalked it up to a negative. Tested again in the afternoon 13 days post iui and got a positive digital clear blue result. Beta the following day (14dpiui) was 181!

    I actually waited until the day after the two weeks to do my test because I was out of town and it came back positive.
  • TakiyahTakiyah Member Member
    Sorry to hear that for both of you! Just keep trying and keep positive vibes!!! Good luck next round

    I'm on pause for this round because the Clomid gave me a cyst that has grown in the past month, fingers crossed it will go down in a timely manner. In the meantime, my partner is in her TWW.
  • Jaclynrae3Jaclynrae3 Junior Member Junior Member
    I'm sorry to hear that, but best of luck for your partner's tww!! I'm doing a natural iui cycle for the second time, so we will see. Me and my wife decided we would try 3 rounds with a natural iui before trying with meds. Next week will be number 2, so fingers crossed!
  • SherylSheryl Senior Member Senior Member
    Jaclynrae3,

    What is a natural IUI? Is that no medication what-so-ever?
  • Jaclynrae3Jaclynrae3 Junior Member Junior Member
    Yes, no meds, my doctor suggested trying that first bc I'm fairly young and have no known fertility issues.
  • Jaclynrae3Jaclynrae3 Junior Member Junior Member
    I go in tomorrow for iui, hope this one works!
  • SherylSheryl Senior Member Senior Member
    I know how you feel Mrccjf, I went in for my first ultrasound in the cycle and a cyst was found on one of my ovaries as well. What makes it even more frustrating is that I hadn't one with my very first one in July during my pretesting, and now when I'm ready to start my body decides to screw with me. I hadn't even started taking the meds yet. I chalk it up to all the supplements my doctor suggested I take in preparation. I think my body is trying to get used to them.

    Took me 20 years to get to this point and now body is going to be a jerk. :) I hope its better for us both come next cycle.
  • SherylSheryl Senior Member Senior Member
    Goodluck Jaclyrae3! Hope all goes well for you.

    Don't be discourage! I have endometriosis and 2 fibroids. My fibroid has grown from 5cm to 11cm during the pregnancy. But I still have a healthy pregnancy and baby. Keep going!
  • SherylSheryl Senior Member Senior Member
    Thanks Taball!

    Hello everyone!
    I also purchased vials of this donor. I was about to post a message in the "Single Mother" section to check if others single moms to be used donor 4991 and were interested in staying in touch, while I found this! So positive and supportive messages!
    I am planning to try to get pregnant sometimes in early 2018.
    Did any of you do genetic testing? I was mentioned it, but am not sure exactly how it works and/or what it entails.
    Thanks so much to all!
  • A&DHarterA&DHarter Member Member
    Hoping for a sticky bean for you! Second time was the charm for me Jacklynrae3!
  • Jaclynrae3Jaclynrae3 Junior Member Junior Member
    A&DHarter did you have any symptoms during your tww?
  • TakiyahTakiyah Member Member
    I had PMS symptoms...Feels like your period is coming but doesn't. Cramps, moodiness, bloating,
  • isherbeariisherbeari Junior Member Junior Member
    HTGN, I did the Counsyl genetic test. You get blood drawn and it is sent to the lab. The test will come back negative or positive. If it is negative you are not a carrier of any of the tested diseases.
