Trouble TTC

*Update* IUI#3 is a bust

Well, I was going to wait until Monday to POAS so that I could have a chance for AF to be late before I saw a BFN. The past day or two I have been having AF cramps and just plain PMS suckiness. Light spotting today.

When I got home from work I decided to go ahead and POAS so I knew if I could take Ibuprofen or use a heating pad or something. Of course it is was a BFN. 

That had to have been the blankest UPT ever! Definitely only one line. at 14dpIUI#3 I am calling this a bust. AF should come tomorrow. When it comes I will call my RE to get the plan for IUI #4.

DH discussed it and we decided to go ahead and start the next cycle even though his genetic screening isn't back yet. worst case is his genetic results will come back around the time of our monitoring appt. If he is also a carrier for Cystic fibrosis then we will just cancel our self. 

I would be happy if the plan for IUI#4 is the same as this last IUI. I had good follie response. I think I may make my summer drink soon = )


ETA: took out a vulger gif

 

Update: Well, I thought AF would have come last night or sometime today, but it didn't. In fact the spotting has stopped. I am still having cramping though. I guess I will POAS tomorrow morning to see what's going on. I think my ute hates me and is playing nasty nasty tricks on me. I don't find it funny.

  • I am so genuinely sorry that IUI #3 didn't work out.  I am still pulling for great results from your husband's genetic testing and that IUI#4 will be the last one you'll need.  I meet my RE on Tuesday to discuss our plan of action after 3 failed IUI's and since he was on vacation, this is our chance to talk to him after just trying on our own this month.  Fingers crossed for you!

    ************** Siggy Warning************


    Married August 2012 -- Me (40 yrs old) My husband (45 yrs. old) 

    RE referral from ObGYN in late Jan. 2013 -- Testing Confirms Unexplained IF 

    IUI #"s1 - 3 (Femara + IUI) April - June 2013 - all BFN

      Decided to do IVF... Began stimming on September 10th!  Egg Retrieval 9/20/13.  19 eggs: 6 to mature to freeze after 6 fertilized with ICSI

     3 morula stage embryos transferred on 9/25/13.....Beta #1 on 10/4/13/ = 7.5  Beta #2 on 10/6/13 =  negative

      IVF#2 - Lupron plan  (set to begin on 10/28/13)  (Planning on thawing and fertilizing our 6 eggs with ICSI as well as all of the mature eggs they retrieve with this fresh cycle.)

     Late October 2013 - ectopic pregnancy - methotrexate injection....benched 3 months

    CD1 - 12/5/13...Lupron set to start on 12/26/13; CD1 - 1/2/14....Baseline 1/3/14....begin follistim tonight and continue with lupron.  (Got my calendar today!  IVF#2 is a go!)

    ER = 1/14/14  (11 eggs....9 were mature. 9 fertilized.  Of the 6 mature eggs we thawed, only 4 fertilized.  At this time, we have 13 eggs fertilized and growing.  Waiting for news about a 3-day or 5-day transfer.)

    ET = 1/19/14  (5dt).....3 blastocysts transferred!   (All nine embryos didn't make it to freeze.  =(  )

    Beta #1 = 1/28/14   (2 weeks after ER)  BFP! 209 (9dp5dt)   EDD 10/7/14
