Sorry about what your brother and SIL are putting down. That's a little insensitive especially since they know your situation. Not that they needed your approval to have a child but I honestly think there was a better way of asking for the OB info and also her announcing she might be pregnant. Don't worry though, you can come here and vent anytime.
I do think you're on the right path though checking things out with your doctor and getting a plan to move forward. It can take some tweaking but as long as you're willing to put in the work you will get your pay:) Keep your chin up girl!
Thanks, I am feeling much more positive today just needed to cry and moan yesterday and scream a little!
You are always so positive and uplifting!

I'm also starting acupuncture this week in the hope that it might make a difference.
Baby dust and good luck to all
This time my wife was on injectables. We had good follies. Two at ~18.5 and two that were close behind, but too hidden by the other two large ones to get a good measurement. Also, we had a 13 on the other side. The injectables had the follies growing 6mm in two days, so it's likely we had a few really good ones.
Our numbers were even better than last time 50.78million post wash with 100% motility. The nurse was in shock....said that the number was incredible. With 2+ to 3+ movement which is average to better than average sperm movement.
We triggered 18hr before the IUI which was 6hrs earlier than the previous two. My wife had major cramping and pain in the ovaries about two - three hours after the IUI. The pain stopped suddenly about an 1hr or less later. She is pretty sure that was ovulation especially since there were so many follies which would likely be more painful.
Even though this is only 2pdiui and everything seemed really good....we aren't too positive. We had prayer done for us at Church on Sunday and two people confirmed the words we'd been hearing from God....it will come in time...be patient and wait. Agh!
Who knows....we could be pregnant for sure....but we won't know for a while. We have to wait 16days....as our clinic doesn't do bloodwork on Sat or Sun.
I don't mean or want to get anyone worried about their own cycle numbers. Based on the way my doc reports them to me these were great numbers.
Here is the info straight from our paperwork....let me know if this helps.
Post Wash Values:
Volume - 1.0ml
Concentration - 98.5 Million/ml
Motility - 51.5% Progressive
Total Motile Count - 50.73 Million
Preparation - Pre Washed (as ordered from bank)
Pre-wash Normal Values
Volume - 2-5ml
Concentration - >20 million/ml
Motility - >50%
Thanks for your help. It was very kind of you to clarify. I will say a prayer for you and your wife this Sunday. Good luck.
Thanks. 5 days left. Good luck to all
I got a BFP on 4 Aug and the blood test confirmed it. My HCG and Progesterone were a bit low. I'm now on Progesterone supplements. I went in for a 2nd blood test on the 6th. HCG numbers were going up. I have a third test tomorrow. I'm starting to feel like a pin-cushion and, since I'm a tough stick, my arms are sporting lovely bruises.
So now I ask for your prayers for a safe and healthy pregnancy!
Wishing all of you good luck as well.
I am 9dpiui. Please keep those fingers crossed!

I did two sessions of acupuncture during my 2ww and am going again today. My acupuncturist specialises in fertilty. Otherwise, just went in for the IUI after a POAS Ovulation test and ultrasound. I've been eating very healthy and taking folic acid and a multivitamin.
I'm wishing better luck for all you!
Baby dust and blessings

I am so sorry for you! Know that my thoughts and prayers are with you. I too will be lighting a candle for you and your baby. If you need to talk know that we are all here for you! If there are any encouraging words you need to hear you know we will all be here to support you.
Robin
You are in my thoughts and prayers. I know how heartbreaking this can be. To go through all these cycles to finally get that BFP. Then in the blink of an eye, its gone. I'm very sorry for your loss but find comfort in the fact that you had success this time and it will happen again but you need to push forward from this place. Allow yourself to go through all the stages of grief and emerge on the other side wth clarity and courage. We are all here on the forum to support eachother since we have been on this challenging journey together. Hopefully we can be cycle buddies in late Oct when I will try IUI #5
Keep your head up...it will turn around.
