Thank you both for the advice, I really apreciate it. I talked to my RE and he said at 12 and 24. We got our shipment today and should be OPK within the next couple of days. Soooo nervous, keeping our fingers crossed.

We are trying for the first time this month too after hearing from a couple different doctors that it looked like I was healthy and ovulating, etc. Just got the IUI yesterday and I felt yucky afterwards for the rest of the night, like I was coming down with the flu. But today I am feeling better. Although I am feeling a little crazy with trying to figure out what is the best thing I can do right this moment to facilitate the process! I am just using meditation audio and trying to distract myself or I will be really nuts by the time I may or may not get my period! My partner is being a trooper through all of my hyper focus on this. Wish us luck!

UPDATE: No go on the first try. We r planning to just go to the doc in sep and do it. Never been soo dissapointed!

I hope you both had better luck then we did, Baby dust your way. My cycle was totally weird this time also which was confusing and upsetting. Hopefully next time, crossing fingers.

Unfortunately our first try didn't work either. On our wedding anniversary I started - doubly dissappointing. :( Now that we are through this first round I am hoping the next rounds won't be such a terrible roller coaster, although my friend who has had two babies through IUI said it doesn't get any less stressful. I am using an OPK, the Fertility Friend website to track my basal body temp and symptoms and going to an acupuncturist. After learning more about charting I saw that perhaps we didn't quite time it correctly. Although its hard to tell while its going on because your temperature goes up the day AFTER you ovulate so you can't quite tell it while its happening. I am still hopeful although discouraged that we didn't buck the odds and get a positive right out the gates! My partner has been a rock though and she has said to me often - its not a sprint, its a marathon...

We just ordered our next vial. I hope it works this time cuz the waiting and disappointment is brutal. I have been taking vitamins, baby aspirin, Robitussin, and vitex. We are only doing one vial this time due to money, crossing my fingers! We are also goin on vaca to Ohio to have a ceremony for my wifes family and friends. So im hoping that this will help the stress factor. When are you trying again? Im sending baby dust to you! Also when I find out im pregos im not gonna tell her until right before she says I do.
