Infertility
IUI#2- scared/hiding
These last weeks have been crazy...it's been a real whirlwind and the overwhelming emotion is worry (mixed with happy, mixed with more worry). I am to the point where I figure anything that happens is going to happen (I come from a long line of superstitious people).
So here it goes...
15 days after trigger CBEdigi= positive
Beta #1 (14dpo)= 145
Beta#2 (20dpo because of blizzard)=1160 (doubling time 48h)
Beta#3 (24dpo)=3296 ...this last one was Friday.
progesterone is pretty high too...but I am on Crinone, so who knows.
I'm trying to think positive, but am still in shock/disbelief. About a day before my 3rd beta any symptoms I was feeling went away, except this morning I woke up a little queasy, that could be nerves though. My RE and his nurse both say that it's normal for things to come and go, and that my numbers look good, but I can't help myself. I really never thought my first emotion on getting a BFP would be fear.
Anyway, long story short, I apologize I've been holding out, but it comes from a place of worry. The only people that know are DH, my mom, and my boss (he asked me to work with a nasty chemical so I had to tell him).
I am going to continue to hang out here if that's OK. My first ultrasound is on 3/16, and I am hoping for the best.

Re: IUI#2- scared/hiding
Again LCB, please ignore my posts...
If you don't have anything nice to say, please don't say anything.
My RE does not think it's triplets based on my numbers and we have talked about actions well before this if that was the case. It's a personal descision.
We triggered with 3 follicles, well in line with what many other's RE here do.
Like all of us, all I'm hoping for is a healthy baby, and all I'm looking for is to share and obtain and provide some encouragement. I know how much I enjoy reading other's positive news here, and see no reason you should take this opportunity to make snide comments about my RE or my pregnancy (which I am already petrified about like many are),
So again, unless you have nice things to say about a BFP announcement that took me a lot of courage to post, please keep the post to yourself or PM your friends.
How would you feel if someone made a snide comment when you posted your BFP? Or after your losses?
I didn't bring up your losses with that in mind, I brought it up because we all deal with loss and heartache on this board, and also sometimes joy and fear. I am sincerely sorry you took it that way and would not wish the pain you have felt to be felt by anyone in the world. My mother experienced several m/c and 38 years later they still affect and haunt her.
I provide support on a regular basis (I can't spend that much time here because of work, but I do try). I have even posted nice things to you in the past, before you made it your personal mission to warn me about how my RE is bad and call me "BSC".

hmmmmm. I'm not going to get into this with you, because you seem to be LCB's "greek chorus".
I simply asked how she would feel if she posted something that personally took her a lot of courage or trepidation to post or make public, and then was met with a snide comment about how I "should" be afraid...mixed with a "congratulations" for good effect?
Again I strongly encourage both of you to ignore my posts if they bother you so much.

Hmmm...congratulations with a warning of doom and a mention of how she STILL thinks I have a sub-par RE (which I get, she's felt the need to post it enough times)...that's a new one?
To me, that's like saying you have such a pretty face, why don't you lose some weight or you'll have heart problems.A backhanded compliment/congratulations.
If you don't have something nice to say when someone shares news, remain silent. I think I learned that in the first grade. Especially when someone shares that they are already petrified that something may be amiss.

First, congratulations!!!! This is IUI#1 for us and I'm so glad to hear that you had success with it.......it really gives me hope, even if it takes a few tries! We are 9dpIUI and it's killing me to wait another 6 days to test!
It seems normal to worry about your BFP, especially in the early stages AND because of the road it took you to get here. But worrying is fruitless, all you can do is take care of yourself and stay positive!
Best of luck and lots of sticky dust coming your way!!
Thanks so much, I am trying not to worry, but that is just about as effective as trying to "relax"
.
Good Luck to you too!! I felt the same way and then I snuck a test because I didn't want to get bad news from my beta at work.
