March TWW

famiylgrl86

Manders85 I'm feeling good! I don't have many symptoms besides getting tired wanting a nap during the day & sore boobs on and off. I hear ya! I was gonna hold out but my sister convinced me to. Then when the line was light I turned into a crazy person & have taken another one every day including a digital one this morning. Sanity wise might be better to not start the madness at all haha.

Yay! So happy for your BFP, @famiylgrl86 and excitement getting positive tests everyday 

famiylgrl86

@manders85 - Weird I swear I posted last night lol. I feel good! I've had a little campiness here & there, boobs are on and off sore, but mostly more tired & needing naps haha. Could also be from the crinone. 

I love your will power! Don't give in haha. i've been a nut since I first tested positive wanting to make sure it stays that way. Can't wait to hear your results too tho on Tuesday if you do test! Are you from New England? Of course there's a big storm rolling in for my test on Wednesday lol. Not looking forward to that commute. I took the day off though so I won't have to rush. & I don't think I'd get any work done until the nurse calls me with the results. 

@LoveDontCostAThing- Welcome! It's torture haha. just try & keep your mind as busy as you can.

Hi @famiylgrl86 not from east coast so I am lucky and don't have to deal with a storm and snow this week. Sunny and warm in the west this week! :-/ I'll test tmw and let you all know! I'm dying!!

Looks like I'm joining this board today!  Scheduled for my IUI this afternoon (after a some crazy re-planning at my clinic due to the massive snowstorm we are supposed to get tomorrow - I was supposed to go in tomorrow morning!  Luckily we were able to figure it out so I could go in this afternoon instead).  This will be my second IUI - third month with RE (we had to cancel last month due to pre-mature surge).  My first month with the RE we did an IUI - however that night my dad broke his leg very badly (he was in the hospital for a few weeks) and the following weekend I ended up in the same hospital for appendicitis!  Then the following week my fiance broke his wrist and had to have surgery!  Needless to say I'm hoping the TWW goes a bit smoother this time around lol.

@famiylgrl86 I'm here on the east coast ready for the storm as well!  At least I have an excuse not to shovel lol I've already figured on not being at work tomorrow (we are right in the 18-20 inches area).  At least I can relax a bit after the iui!

Hello Ladies!!  This is our week!!!  aaahhhh!  I'm so nervous. I have held out and not tested my husband doesn't want me too but I'm chomping at the bit. Every one be safe with this snow storm coming. I live in Maryland and people don't know what to do with snow. Haha growing up in Mass. I'm used to it. Glad to see there are a couple other new Englanders on this post!  Good luck everyone!  Can't wait to hear the news!!!!

I caved and took a pee test (regular, not FRER) at 12 dpiui and it was a BFN. It was afternoon urine (not morning) so I'm praying that it was just the wrong time to test and there's still hope. I don't feel completely deflated yet but it is bringing me back to reality since I had been so sure my boobs had NEVER felt or looked liked this before. Maybe it was in my head. Any experience ladies with 12 dpiui tests that eventually turn into positive or should 12 days show something at this point??? 

DungeonTrollMel

Officially in the biggest TWW of my life. Had my FET today. Official beta day is the 24 but she said she is willing to do 22 for me. Probably start peeing around day 5

LoveDontCostAThing

Here's my interesting update...I went for blood and ultrasound today 2dp5dt of to blasts, and the ultrasound tech said that I am retaining fluid.  Long story short, she said she thinks I mildly hyperstimmed and had then added a hypestim blood test.  THEN, as I'm all worried about the fluid she casually says, "Well, you're probably pregnant."  I was like excuse me...lol.  I asked why would fluid indicate that.  She said to not hold her to it (of course I won't because I'm already paranoid), but that most of the time when she sees this happen in women they end up pregnant because the hormones are going wacky (I read online the HCG rising) and your cycle not resetting--something...it makes sense on google.  I am also exhausted today...all day.  I've had mild cramping yesterday and today.  I am not getting my hopes up yet since I had the chemical last time.  I was actually very shocked that the ultrasound tech would say that!  

Then, the nurse called when I got home, which isn't usual for them to call so quickly.  They are a little worried about the fluid, but she said I def. could be pregnant and if so, the ohss can get worse...so she told me to drink LOTS of water/ gatorade and keeping peeing a lot, eat egg whites, and go to the ER if I can't breathe...but then she said not to worry LOL.  She made sure I took my lupron shot and upped my progesterone.  TIME WILL TELL.

@Manders85 There's definitely still hope! Between afternoon urine & not being a first response your levels may just not be high enough to pick up. My afternoon ones are really really light with first response. 

manders85-2

Thanks @famiylgrl86 I'm trying to stay positive and won't test until tmw again (when the doc told me to) and use Morning urine. You think I should go out and get FRER  too?  I feel like taking the mystery out and unknown would help just give me a final answer. Of course when you read online, all of these women say, "got a negative as 12 dpiui but a positive on 16!" Idk. I'm reaching for anything at this point!  

LoveDontCostAThing

Hey everyone...if anyone is having cramping, tell me about it please  I've been having mild cramping and dull/ heaviness in my uterus since my 5 day transfer on Saturday.

DungeonTrollMel

@LoveDontCostAThing I just had mine yesterday and have been having cramping, pinching and some achy feelings as well 

LoveDontCostAThing

@DungeonTrollMel -me too!  hope it's a good sign!  how many did you transfer?

famiylgrl86

@lovedontcostathing I had the same thing. I still get mild cramping on and off so Im hoping its a good sign. Getting blood test tomorrow morning to confirm. 

Funnygirl34

lovedontcostathing I've been having cramping too.  Had quite a bit at 4dpo and then again today at 6dpo.

manders85-2

14 dpiui for me. BFN this morning. Looks like I'm out this cycle. No AF but there wasn't any semblance of a line on that FRER so it's pretty devastating.

famiylgrl86

@Manders85 I'm so sorry

JaeJayStark

Hi there, today I have joined the TWW with you fine ladies! I had my IUI today. Ooooweee, here we go! 

megmac2010

Here from the March IUI board! I'm 3pdiui, first one, and the tww is already unbearable. Beta on March 28, going to try and not pee on anything until then!

LoveDontCostAThing

@famiylgrl86 -did you poas?  Did you have your beta today?  Ahh so exciting/ nerve-wracking!!!

@Manders85 -ugh...I am so sorry...always devastating

We just triggered last night with Ovidrel after many doses of Menopur. My TWW starts after tomorrow and we test on 3/30. I'm feeling a whole basket of emotions as this is our very first cycle and it has been a very long one.

We started injections on 2/14 at a 75iu dose. This has crept up by 75iu every three days and the last couple weeks have been at 450iu per day. We didn't see much response until 3/5/17, then things really took off.

We tested yesterday and finally got a 19.66mm right side and a 17.02mm left side. The 17.02 is a little small, but the RE says it could mature enough to hit the 18 minimum they look for.

We will see what happens during this TIC cycle. Hoping for good news on 3/30!

thothscribe81

@megmac2010 welcome!!  My beta is on the 27th!  I'm already going crazy with the tww!!!

@katherind yay trigger! and welcome to the tww!

@manders85 so sorry about the bfn

katherind

@msymmers922 That's good advice about the progesterone suppositories. I never even thought about that. I start mine on Saturday and it's the first time using them. Guess I'll be stopping at the store on my way home!

famiylgrl86

@LoveDontCostAThing I got the call from the nurse today! My beta came back at 744 so I'm definitely pregnant! So excited. I have another beta Friday & Monday to make sure the numbers double & then if all goes well I go back for an ultrasound 4/12. Hoping the numbers continue to grow & April 12th comes quickly! How are you feeling so far? 

@megmac2010 & @katherind welcome to the tww! Hope it flies by for you

Msymmers922

@famiylgrl86 yay!!!!!  That's awesome!  

My test is tomorrow I'm kinda freaking out with nerves. I caved and tested Tuesday and it was negative but I know that doesn't mean anything. 

Did anyone else have their beta yet?

Funnygirl34

I'll be 8DPO tomorrow and am planning on testing :-/ We shall see! I know it's too early, but I have no self control!

manders85-2

So happy for you @famiylgrl86 744 is awesome and you must be over the moon!!

Question for all your TWWs out there who have tested negative already like me and are possibly moving to second round:

i got a BFN after our first full cycle today on 14dpiui. We will likely so another medicated cycle but will skip this month because I have a lot of work travel planned. No AF yet for me. I'm still having symptoms and I imagine it was all hormone related. Sore breasts, huge nipples, peeing very often (including waking up in the middle of the night which I never do)! I was taking estrace so i imagine a lot of these symptoms are due to that. No progesterone suppositories. What symptoms did you have after your BFN? Did any of you not get your AF due to a cyst? This happened to me last round because of clomid and we never did the IUI. Just curious if this is normal to feel so different, not be pregnant and not have my AF yet.  Thoughts? 

Lastly- did your RE change anything for round 2? My doc says hed do the same thing as last time. I had three follies. Do you switch regimens or stay the course for round 2???

Msymmers922

It's official. BFN!  I'm out of here until we figure out our next plan of action. Good luck you guys!  Keep your head up!  

famiylgrl86

@Msymmers922 so sorry. Good luck in whatever your next plan of action ends up!!

LoveDontCostAThing

@Msymmers922 -so sorry to hear that news...good luck for future cycles!

@famiylgrl86 -wow!!  that's a great beta!!!  I hope that is me next week!  I'm feeling tired on/ off.  I've had dull cramps on/ off everyday since transfer.  My head has also been starting to hurt here and there.  

I am 5dp5dt ...when does everyone think a reliable test day is ??

QsMadd

I officially go here now too! Just did my 5dt today! 

@LoveDontCostAThing I told my husband we are going to test on Tuesday and Thursday with hpt for fun. He knows they aren't the final say...so its just to cure our curiosity. 

famiylgrl86

@LoveDontCostAThing Thanks! Your symptoms sound promising! I was feeling the exact same way with the dull cramps. I got a very faint positive the night of day 6 after transfer. Sunday night the line was much darker. 

DungeonTrollMel

@LoveDontCostAThing I'm probably going to start the daily POAS binge tomorrow at 4dp5dt but that's because I feel down a Google rabbit hole of bfp's after FET

katherind

@famiylgrl86 That's so exciting! Very happy for you.

katherind

Question - Has anyone triggered with Ovidrel and experienced really tender breasts and a mild crampy feeling in the lower abdomen? Neither are severe by any means, but I'm just curious if that's common.

LoveDontCostAThing

@DungeonTrollMel -ahhh that's brave of you!! I am so scared!  Are you having any symptoms?  I've fallen down so many google rabbit holes lol.  I'll be curious to see your hpt results.

@famiylgrl86 -I hope so!  I also had fluid/ mildly ohss after transfer, and the nurses keep saying that's a sign of pregnancy.  I hope they're right, but it'll be that much more sucky if it's not true.

@QsMadd -it's good to have a plan!  I have no idea when I will give in!

manders85-2

I'm sorry @Msymmers922 goodluck to you and keep us in the loop! Can't wait to hear some great news from you in the near future 

thothscribe81

@Msymmers922 Good luck to you and I hope you get some amazing news in the near future!
