EMNTOM

1. Update on you I am officially in the 2ww, We had our IUI yesterday!!

2. QOTD taken by Goldie_Locks_05:   What ?special extra thingshave you done to increase your fertility (ie wheatgrass, pineapple, greentea)?  When in the cycle did you doit?  Result? I have tried everything from mucinex to pineapple juice to raspberry tea. I haven't had any results since I am not pregnant yet. Mucinex & green tea before O helped with CM, Raspberry tea before O helps with lining, Pineapple core after O/IUI helps with implantation.

1. Update on you- waiting on AF2. QOTD taken by Goldie_Locks_05:???What ?special extra thingshave you done to increase your fertility (ie wheatgrass, pineapple, greentea)???When in the cycle did you doit???Result? ?I've done the pineapple thing. ?Split it in 5th including the core and eaten it for 5 days in a row after ovulation. ?I'm also doing acupuncture and herbs once a week. ?Acupuncture helped regulate my cycles after 3 months. ?I've just started doing fertility yoga from a dvd recommended by Alpacabunny.

jennyvag

1. Update on you -- AF should arrive on Saturday, then I'll be starting my 2nd IUI cycle.

2. QOTD What ?special extra thingshave you done to increase your fertility (ie wheatgrass, pineapple, greentea)?  When in the cycle did you do it?  Result?  I haven't done too much to increase my fertility.  I tried taking Fertility Blend but it didn't work for me and other than that I haven't done anything else.  I'm going to give the pineapple thing a try this month though.

GL to all the girls this month!

heathb21

1.  BFP! 

2. QOTD - I tried to drink more green tea and ate pineaple.  I did both throughout my cycle, but I agreen with EMNTOM on timing.  I had seen that as well.  My dr. also had me on baby asprin to help my lining.  Besides that, I really didn't do much extra special things.  I am on metformin, and I really think that helped a great deal!

adreamisawishyourheartmakes

Hi!  Can I join you guys?  Just had my first IUI last weekend, so I am currently in the 2ww.  Best of luck to all of you!

becca2325

1. IUI #2=BFN. I am now on IUI #3. Just started shots last night, I'll probably do IUIs 10/15 & 16.

2. I feel like I've tried everything. Wheatgrass, Pineapple Core, Raspberry Leaf Tea, Acupuncure, Chinese Herbs, Pomegranate Juice, Preseed, Mucinex, Green Tea, B6, I know I'm missing a few... let's just say I've never seen those two pink lines, so none of these things worked for me.

JackieMac824

1. Update on you. CD 12 - trying on our own this month.

2. QOTD taken by Goldie_Locks_05:   What ?special extra thingshave you done to increase your fertility (ie wheatgrass, pineapple, greentea)?  When in the cycle did you doit?  Result?  I have not done much - being that we are MFI - we did try preseed and we use OPK every month that we try on our own.  I avoid drinking during the 2ww and we have DH on these special vitamins for MFI but that is about all.  None of it has resulted in a pregnancy - yet.

PeachyKate

1.  We officially got our negative beta yesterday and were told that the pg tests were faulty that I took.  So that's that in a nutshell.  I stopped the prometrium and called the IVF coordinator to find out what our next step is in getting IVF started.

 

2. QOTD: We have tried vitamins for DH(which I think worked), pinapple, pom juice, wheat grass, and I am sure there are others.  The only month I actually did get pregnant I did not do anything special at all.

GypsyEsq

Update: I'm still cycling towards IUI/waiting for goshdarned AF (I noticed that was wrong in the roll call).  I'm hoping she comes today.  We'll see.

 QOTD:  I'm taking wheatgrass now as part of vitamin regimin, didn't think it would hurt.  I've been drinking green tea daily for about two years both because of the fertility benefits and the supposed weight loss aid -- I'm neither pregnant nor skinny so I'm not sure it works.  I had mucinex to take during my clomid cycles by my CM never really dried up.  I'd like to do accupuncture but I'll hold off until next year if I have to b/c my insurance in '09 will cover accu. 

Good luck to everyone in the 2WW. 

Sara Scissors

1. Update on you: Completed first IUI this cycle.  Should AF between tomorrow and next Wednesday.  Not sure if we will be able to do another next cycle...NO money left (since not covered by insurance). 

2. QOTD taken by Goldie_Locks_05:   What ?special extra thingshave you done to increase your fertility (ie wheatgrass, pineapple, greentea)?  When in the cycle did you doit?  Result?

I don't take any thing extra to increase my fertility.  Just try to stay active, eat right and have been taking pre-natals every day since we started TTC in July 2007. 

Cajun_gal

1 - Just waiting. 

2 - I've eaten pineapple but it hasn't worked yet.  I guess it can't hurt though.

kimesunshine

I am 5dpIUI, please move me to the 2ww.  I am trying not to think about any symptoms.  We will do one more IUI and probably wait to move onto IVF until we know what will happen with DHs job, he works for Wachovia. 

Jaclyn278

You may move me to IUI#2 (b2b) as I start that tomorrow!

I haven't done anything special with regards to wheatgrass, etc. I stay away from alcohol before ovulation and take my PNV.  

drake986

Could you please update me to still show on a break, but only IUI#1?  IUI #'s 2&3 were cancelled...  Thanks!  

Update: AF started today (woohoo!) and I have my 1st appt. with my re tomorrow.

QOTD: I've honestly just been watching what I eat...  I haven't tried any supplements.  So far, not much weight lost, but the metformin has started to at least regulate my cycles, but has still not helped me O.

cheekyali

update: 6dpiui #1

QOTD: DH is on Fertility Blend for MFI, acc and has also cut out alcohol and caffeine. I am also doing accu, take a good multi and fish oil, cut out alcohol, caffeine, and soy, drink green tea and just started POM, and i am going to take a yoga for fertility workshop next weekend.

WendyLoveapple

Update:  I o'd on my own and 1DPO.  YAY! 

QOTD: I changed my diet (PCOS) and take my Met and Synthroid everyday.  I also use Progesterone supp. after ovulation.   That is about it.

Triathletegirl

Hello!  Can I join the group?  I have my first IUI later this month and will trigger right beforehand (around the end of next week, I think).  Haven't done anything special...just taking clomid.  Can't wait to see a lot of BFP's

Gina070605

1. Update on you: I'm 8dpiui and I find out in only 6 more days if it worked. 

2. QOTD taken by Goldie_Locks_05:   What ?special extra thingshave you done to increase your fertility (ie wheatgrass, pineapple, greentea)?  When in the cycle did you doit?  Result? I have not tried anything since starting with the RE, but I have tried pineapple core, green tea, pomagranite juice, preseed, softcups, name it and I probably tried it.  We will see what I'll start up again if this does not work.

Temp159135562506975

update: I'm 4 dp/IUI and waiting...

qotd:  I ate pineapple/core when i got pg with ds.... who knows if it helped- ate it during the days that implantation should happen- around 4-10.

This cycle I took wheat grass and I saw a really big improvment in the quality/size of my follies --- went from one mature at 17ish last cycle, to 2 mature at 21 and 25 this cycle.  Who knows if the wheat grass helped - i also started walking a few nights a week for 1 hour- so that may have helped, too.

I'm eating pineapple/core now- and trying to drink the pom juice- but i'm not crazy about it.

leslie&brian

1. I go for a follie check on Sunday

2. I've tried Mucinex, green tea, and pineapple with no success.

hopeful34

IUI #1 was a bust..Starting stims on sat.

I tried pineapple and pom juice. That's about it...and it didn't work. I didn't do it this cycle so I'll try again this cycle.

sara1014

1. ?We are gearing up for IUI#4. ?Last one was a CP; RE is very hopeful. ?We're doing Femara + Follistim. ?I'll have a follie check Monday to see when IUI will be. ??2. I have done pineapple and pom juice - BFN. ?This last cycle, I kept my feet warm (I think a few acupuncturists have said something about warm feet = warm uterus or something to that effect) and I knew it was silly - I never even told DH why I was wearing socks to bed even when he asked! ?And this one I at least had a CP. ?I've heard conflicting things about pineapple, so I don't think I'll be doing that anymore. ??
