    @Anne, you went!!! I'm so glad...I kept wondering if you did or not since you're in your TWW....awesome!!! did you sign up for the next step?

    Not yet. They require that you have the nursery completely set up before you are licensed. That's a tough emotional step to have a nursery in your house for potentially months before finding out if you are getting a child. I have 6 months to complete my application. I'm starting to gather the data but will likely hold off for another month or two

    Praying for an easy 2ww and a Christmas miracle!
  • hopefulcharhopefulchar Senior Member Senior Member
    Yay! We are cycle buddies again. One day apart this time. I had my second iui today! Good luck tomorrow.

    Wishing all of you ladies good luck for your Christmas miracles! Please keep us all posted on your progress. Prayers and sticky baby dust to all! :D
  • GeminiJaiGeminiJai Senior Member Senior Member
    I'm so excited for each of you ladies who are currently in your TWW and I'm sending lots of positive energy your way for sticky baby dust! I just had my HSG yesterday afternoon and everything looked great- no blockages or issues anywhere- so I'm now in my own little "waiting period," so that I can attempt my first IUI with January's cycle. Lots of luck to everyone :)
  • robinrobin Senior Member Senior Member
    Charlotte,
    Having an iui on 12-13 and 12-14 sounds lucky! If you and 12 and 13 you get 25! That sounds like a Christmas miracle in the making!
    Anne, here's to your bfp on the 20th.

    Good luck to all. Of you in your tww!

    Sending lots of positive energy and baby dust to you all!

    I'm on my TWW also. I should be about 3 DPO now. Good luck to everyone!! Hopefully we all get the best Christmas surprise this year BFP!!
  • Anne72Anne72 Senior Member Senior Member
    I got a BFN today :cry:

    Round 8 will start soon. Still wishing for all of you to get your Christmas miracles.
  • hopefulcharhopefulchar Senior Member Senior Member
    Geez. That's so upsetting. I was really hoping for a bfp! I really admire your positive attitude. Merry Christmas. This will happen for you, I promise!!
  • StaceyCStaceyC Junior Member
    This is my second iui. I am in day 6 of the 2 week wait. Doctor just put me on Estradiol and Prometrium. Has anyone been on these meds? Did they help?
  • k&bk&b Senior Member Senior Member
    So sorry Ann....
  • maria2maria2 Senior Member Senior Member
    Anne, I'm so sorry!!!! :( Please let me know if I can help....Hugs!!!!
  • AwaitingProcessAwaitingProcess Junior Member
    Hi all! I'm brand new here, but admit that I've been reading/lurking for awhile. Just finished 2nd medicated IUI cycle and came out with a BFN without even making the full two weeks. Its so expensive to do this, won't even get another chance for several more months, and times wasting away as I'm already 35. Very disappointed, and wishing the best for those of you on your 2WWs.
  • Anne72Anne72 Senior Member Senior Member
    Thank you ladies. I'm on round 8. I started my meds and go in tomorrow to see how I'm progressing. I'm claiming a New Year's baby! I WILL get a BFP and keep the pregnancy in 2012!

    Wishing you all the best!

    Praying for you that you get your baby. It's time and all the planets are in line for you!! It WILL HAPPEN! Blessings ladies
  • Anne72Anne72 Senior Member Senior Member
    Well I trigger tonight and inseminate both tomorrow (New Year's Day) and again on the 2nd. Wish me luck for round 8! I have 3 good follis and am claiming my Baby New Year!
  • Anne72Anne72 Senior Member Senior Member
    Well, I'm officially in TWW #8, I did a double insemination on New Year's Day and the 2nd. Fingers crossed, I want my New Year's baby!
  • GeminiJaiGeminiJai Senior Member Senior Member
    January is going to be a month of positivity and optimism for me, so I'm sending good vibes your way for lots of sticky baby dust! You're a couple weeks ahead of me with my first TWW, so I'd really love to see a BFP from you to help give me some extra hope for achieving my own :)
  • GeminiJaiGeminiJai Senior Member Senior Member
    Afternoon, ladies!! I just wanted to stop in to say that I had an ultrasound and blood work this morning... My doctor said everything looks great and even saw 1 really good follicle maturing on it's own in my right ovary :D

    I'm starting on 50mg Clomid tomorrow for 5 days, then come back for more blood work and my sonogram on 1/15, will hopefully trigger that night, and the tentative date for my FIRST IUI is 1/17! I joined Club Fairfax today, ordered 2 vials from my donor (got free shipping via local courier plus $25 off - thanks, Anne!)! Sooo super-excited!!
  • robinrobin Senior Member Senior Member
    Jamie,
    Sounds like great news! Sending lots of baby dust your way.

  • Mikko77Mikko77 Member
    Sounds like everything is working out Jaime.. ** Sprinkle Sprinkle ** :mrgreen:

    I have heard and seen many women testing on DPO# Day 9 or 10 or 12 etc.. I have seen women posting on youtube that they test themselves 2 to 4 times before the end of the TWW. I am fairly still new to the process of IUI's but I was told to test on day DPO# 14 or even 3 to 5 days after your missed period.

    When should you test before your TWW, on the last day of your TWW, or after day one of your missed period?

    Any advice ladies?

    M :?:
  • k&bk&b Senior Member Senior Member
    Mikko,
    It all depends on when you implant. If you implant earlier, you will get a positive test earlier. But you can implant up to 12 days post IUI. I have a good friend who is due in 4 weeks, and she tested negative on day 13 and positive day 14! The biggest thing to keep in mind if you test early is that your negative could still turn into a positive!

    Alright, so I just went through this whole TWW thing for the first time and honestly it only got bad towards the middle or the end for me. About 9dpo I had nausea in the morning which, for me is extremely odd. (I have an iron stomach) Then on 10dpo I had morning nausea again. So on 11dpo when I felt sick again, I decided to POAS. My rational was, if I am using the 5 days early test and I am experiencing these symptoms then it must show in my urine. HOWEVER, on 11dpo I got BFN, on 12dpo BFN, on 13dpo again- BFN. At 14dpo with a 5 days early test, my hope was crushed with another BFN. SO, in the process of starting over I took a Blood HCG and my Dr. ended up texting me to call her in her office. The news was... IT WAS POSITIVE!!! It took 4 days past my positive blood test to show on the Urine tests! DON'T Trust them! However, I know nobody could have talked me out of taking those tests, I'd probably still do it again BUT at least this time I would know how unreliable they can be.

    Congratulations on getting a BFP on your first round! So happy for you. I go for my blood test on Sunday - round 8. I stopped POAS with round 5. Praying for a BFP this time!
  • GeminiJaiGeminiJai Senior Member Senior Member
    CONGRATS, again, SaraBell! I told myself that I was NOT going to POAS during my TWW, no matter how bad I got the urge... Getting sooo excited as the day approaches!

    PS. GL and sticky baby dust to you, Anne!!
  • Anne72Anne72 Senior Member Senior Member
    Round 8 is a BFN. :(

    I'm gearing myself up to start round 9. I just finished reading the Fertilty Diet. I already eat really healthily but I love milk. Going to hard to cut back on the 2-3 glasses of skim milk that I drink every day.
  • littlepetelittlepete Member Member
    Insemination day tomorrow and then to my 2WW. It has been awhile since I have been able to try and excited for this round and that I found this forum! Am going to take advantage of the support this time.
    Can anyone tell what the 'Pineapple thing' is?? :?: Don't want to miss out on doing something if will help! Thanks :!:
