  Update: AF showed up while I was on vacation. It was one day later than normal so I actually had hope and I was crushed. I'm moving onto another unmedicated cycle. My Mom is having surgery and will really need my help for the next two months. After these two cycles I will be making a serious decision to move onto IVF or give injectibles a shot.

  QOTW:

  I love grape jelly on my grilled cheese sandwiches.

  I also slept with my baby blanket until I moved in with DH.

  I would still use my blanket if DH wasn't grossed out by it.

  QOTW:  I really like drinking coffee as a midnight relaxation drink, which DH finds, um, bizarre.  IF has destroyed that, but I could sleep through pretty much anything...caffeine or not.

  On the IUI front, my last dose of Clomid is tonight (thank the Lord), and then I have a follie check next Wednesday.  If the last two are any indication, there will be at least two more checks before the IUI (looks at follie area and yells "grow faster").

  TTC since 11/09
  Two C/P and Lots of Tests
  Me = LPD + cancer survivor, DH = low count and morphology
  IUIs #1-5, January 2011 - June 2011 = BFN
  IVF #1 in July/August 2011 = BFP!!!!!

  I am 12 DPO 11DPIUI and possibly had a BFP this morning.  It was super faint but came up witin a minute.  I had also gotten a "faint line" on  internet cheapies since 10 dpo, but ran out of them .  Wil be re-testing tommorrow morning.  Scared that this is a fluke and it will take alot of +'s to make me totally believe it if it is a BFP.  GL ladies!

    QOTW: Tell us one strange (or unique) thing about yourself!  I am obsessed with looking for snails on my walkway in front of my house.  I can't leave my house in the morning without checking for snails.  This has been going on for years.  MH thinks I am a freak!  I am scared to death of stepping on them which has happened a few times.  If I see one I pick it up and move it to my flower bed so they don't get stepped on. Then I show MH where they are so he won't accidently step on them in the flower bed.  Don't let there be more than a few cuz we will be late for work.  I am actually getting a little flustered thinking about it now.

  Update: I did IUI#6 on Tuesday so I am in the 2ww now.

  QOTD: Hmm, I guess one interesting thing about me is that I live abroad. I moved to Israel 5 years ago and have been there since. I am actually in the states for the next week for a conference, though.

  IUIs #1-3 (1x unmedicated, 2x Clomid) = 2 BFNs, 1 m/c at 7w3d
  

  IUIs #4-6 (injects) = 3 BFNs
  IVF #1 = BFN
  FET #1 = BFN
  FET #2 = BFN
  IVF #2 = BFP, b/g twins lost at 20w due to partial abruption/PPROM
  IVF #3 = c/p 5w2d
  Long-shot Clomid/Prednisone cycle before next IVF = BFP, our beautiful, healthy girl born 6/26/13!

  Hey all, this is my first post, but not my first IUI.  I'm on IUI #5 (March 24th) and am trying to keep myself from going absolutely crazy!  My first IUI ended in a m/c and then I have had nothing since then.  I went back to unmedicated since that's what we did with the first one, so hoping that the lack of drugs will help!

   QOTW: I really like fried rice on pecan tarts - something about the sweet and salt.

  I am totally on hold for everything. Break due to cysts and waiting for bloodwork to figure out If I do IUI again or try IVF or what? Need insurance info also so sort of on hold for it all and getting older by the darn minute.

  Can you add me to the list. This is IUI #6. Ugh. But I loved reading how some people got BFPs after or on the fifth IUI.

  I'd like to be added to the list.

  I am going in for monitoring on Thursday. This is IUI #4 for me.

  QOTW: I am a kindergarten teacher and I only have 12 students this year. This school year has truly been a blessing because I have had an opportunity to bond with each of my students and most of their parents. My students have made such progress this year. Progress that is unsurpassed by previous years. Their growth can speak accolades for the effects of small class sizes! On another note, it looks like I am going to have an average class of 17-20 for next year.

  I'm here! I just haven't posted because NOTHING HAS BEEN HAPPENING. Can you tell I'm frustrated?

  They cancelled my D-IUI #2 cycle because they said I was ovulating too early in my cycle. Based on that info I should have gotten AF earlier than normal. So when I hit CD 35 I called them and said, what's going on? They sent me in for b/w and said it looked like I had just ovulated! So screwy. So we don't know what's going on with my body.

  I'm supposed to call when AF does show up. If she doesn't come by Tuesday of next week I'm to go have more b/w done. Ugh.

  I had IUI #1 on Monday, which was a great relief!  DH's counts were much better than they had been in the past, and we had 5 mill + 96% motility post-wash.  The bad thing is that it was timed based on my first ovulation predictor test, which was on Sunday, and I've had three more days of positives since then.  I'm going in for testing tomorrow to see if I've ovulated yet.

  Update: We went in for an u/s 2 weeks ago at 8 1/2 weeks and found out we had a missed micarriage.  It's been a difficult few weeks, but I think physically the worst is over.  My RE wants us to wait one full cycle before trying again, so I'm guessing that will put us at IUI #4 in June.  I haven't spoken to the RE about what we will do, but I assume since the 100mg Clomid + trigger worked last time, we'll give that another shot.

  QOTW:  I'm not sure if this is strange, maybe just different... I have a scar on the palm of my hand from when I used to flip bottles while bartending in Las Vegas.  One of the bottles hit the speed rack and broke in my hand- but at least it will be fun to (hopefully) show my kids someday that mom used to be cool
