    Jenn - that's great news. That puts all 3 of us inseminated in the same week. Hopefully in the next two weeks we're all very happy! :D

    I'm keeping my fingers crossed. No symptoms yet, how about you? Have you done any testing? I had my progesterone test today, no results til next week though.

    My progesterone was 14 on Monday (1/30/12) The nurse said that it was good for a natural cycle. I tested out my trigger shot and finally got a negative test 8dptrigger/7dpiui. I started testing and got a faint positive on 8dpiui...then a slightly darker positive on 9dpiui. Today I am 11dpiui and I had a very noticeable positive on a First Response. I go in for my blood test Monday morning! I keep testing every other day to make sure the line is still getting darker and I just hope it's a healthy sticky baby!

    You're at the half-way point yourself blink! Have you decided what day you would start testing?

    Today is day 7. I was inseminated the 27th, so I was going to test on the 9th, that would be 13 days. Is that the soonest?

    I think you can test with a First Response test as early as day 11 or 12 and be able to get a faint line. I'm gonna try to post my positive tests. the top one is from day 11 (today) and the bottom test is from day 9. Hope you can see it clear.

    Hey Jenn. I went to the doc on Monday for a beta and it was 163.9! I go back next week for another and I'll keep having my levels checked until it reaches 2,000. Once it's there then I will have an ultrasound. I hope you and blink have good news at the end of your TWW's! What day are you?

    Hey everybody, I tested Tuesday which was day 9 or 10 I believe and no faint line so I think I'll wait til the 12th and see if I get my period. I'm kinda feeling pre-menstral so I'm probably not pregnant. :( I hope you two have better luck. I have one vial left and I think I will see if the doc can do something more, she did say this last time the sperm count was 36 mil and they like to see over 50 mil. Any ideas for me please let me know. Thanks

    Hey blink- I hope it works this time! My counts were 17mil. with 45% progressive (meaning the percentage of the ones that move straight forward). My doc said that my counts were good and so was the % of motility. They looked for 32% or higher. If it doesn't work this time I would insist monitoring and a trigger shot. It will really help with your timing. I'm so grateful that my doc's office does monitoring through bloodwork and ultrasounds. Like you, I don't have any fertility problems and my doc said that she believed that I would get pregnant on the 1st or 2nd try. It worked the first time with me. I think it really boils down to getting the timing accurate.

    I'm happy it worked for you. I'm going to see about doing the testing this time.

    Haven't heard from anybody in a while. Artist - how are you doing? Jenn- are you pregnant? I'm going for try number 3 towards the end of the week. My doc still doesn't want to use any meds or anything til after 3 or 4 tries, this is my last vial so hope it works otherwise I'll probably have to pick a new donor since there is a waiting list for ours, I did put my name on it though just in case. Let me know how you guys are doing. :D

    TMI alert: I've been constipated and hungry at the same time...it slightly sucks at the moment. I go back to the doc on tuesday for another ultrasound to look for a heartbeat. I should be 6 weeks then. I'll have my last appt with that office the following week then I'll be off to my ob. I hope this time works for you...he seems to sell out quick!

    No luck here! I have one more vial and will probably be going for my IUI later this week. Last try (#6) with this donor, I am trying to find someone else.

    Oh that sucks Jenn, I was hoping you were pregnant. I will be trying again at the end of this week with my last vial. I'm not quite sure what I'll do after this. My doc won't even try shots or meds or anything until you try 3 or 4 times with no luck. Well, I will be thinking about you this week and hoping this time works for both of us. :D

    Don't know what's going on, i should have ovulated by now. Since I started the insemination my periods have been a different day every month. If I don't have an LH surge tomorrow I'll have to call the doc Monday. :(

    I went on Thursday for my IUI. Let hope it finally works! I am not doing meds again, it caused 5 cysts on my right ovary. The doctor said if I want to do meds again I will have to do the ultrasounds along with it ($700). So we are just hoping it will off my natural cycle. My doctor said it is not unusual to have to do the IUI 6-12 times because we are battling the freeze/thaw aspect. I can't afford IVF, but if I were to do that I would try using my husbands sperm. He has a low count. Keep me posted on how you make out!

    Jenn- I talked to my doc today and It looks like I will be trying number 3 next cycle since I didn't have a pos ovulation. She suggested clomid or something else but I think after hearing about your cysts I won't be trying anything like that yet, so thanks for your info and I think I'll just keep trying and being patient.

    Artist - Jenn, so what's going on with you two, are you both pregnant? I am going Monday for an ultrasound and I guess we are going to try a trigger shot this 3rd time so hopefully I get lucky this time since I will have to buy more vials and find a different donor. I hope you both are having better luck!

    hey blink! I hope the trigger does the trick for you. I was able to conceive on the first try and I am now 9w5d pregnant.
