  • I asked my nurse today about the beta being 15dpt and she said it's because they want to make sure I don't get a false result with all the meds I'm on. So it's all good. :)

  • Arghhh I'm so sorry @ADRIANAC1982 :cry: Not the news I was hoping to see from you, but alas, these IUIs seem to do nothing but disappoint us all :(  So I guess you're going to do IVF next instead of more IUIs?  Can't say I blame you...

  • Thank you @wifeinraleigh28, I scheduled the IVF consult for June 10th, BUT after speaking with my DH, we are thinking of doing one more IUI with injectibles since this was our first IUI, and it was only with clomid and a trigger injection.  

    We froze a specimen so why not use it IF we have some down time. My cycle should start next week so why not use the frozen sample if my insurance allows it.

    @dragonfaerie I am so happy your first beta is on Monday!!!!!

    @Tulips29 I go in Sunday for my third beta and then Ultrasound around 7 weeks. My doc was off today but she called me to give me my beta and told me to call her on Sunday to get the results for the third one. She also said that I could come in early for an ultrasound but I just want to wait until the ultrasound will be accurate. Last time not seeing what we expected was SO stressful and I really want to enjoy this!!

  • @dragonfaerie so exciting! Looking forward to Monday's results!

    @susykat77 I know what you mean. I'm anxious and nervous for my next beta as well, which is Tuesday. They are also going to do an u/s and hopefully see the sac. Then my next appointment would be the following Tuesday, but I'll be on vacation, so won't get to go back until June 5th in hopes they hear the heartbeat. This is so stressful!

    Congrats to everyone with BFPs and hugs to everyone with BFNs!!

    afm, AF arrived last night so it's a bfn for me! Planning to take June off, do one more iui in July, then moving on to ivf. At this point, it just seems like a waste of time and money to keep doing medicated TI and iui cycles. 

    Fx to everyone still testing this month!!
  • Squinter is gone :( 9dpo today, I know it's still early
  • Is 14 days after trigger too early for a beta?
