I also won myself a clotting workup while at RE office as he noticed my excessive bruising! Not sure what all that means but he promised to go over more in detail when results came back....he said he doesnt want me worry till than ( YEA RIGHT)! He must not know me haha!!!! Glad to be back with my awesome support of this board and particular this IUI check in group!

      Hey there!  I'm 2 days into my 2WW now.  Beta on 3/12.  

  QOTW:  What is your favorite way to celebrate your birthday?? I love going on trips with DH for my birthday.  Doesn't really matter where. Just getting out of town away from things is so nice.

  Eeep. I am 9DPiui and shiit is getting real. I didn't realize how anxious I would feel towards the end of my cycle. FTR, I usually only have a 10-11 day LP, so I am praying like crazy that this somehow worked.

  QOTW: How do you like to celebrate your birthday?? This question is actually very fitting because my birthday was this past weekend. Usually my birthday is low key, but I treat myself. Manicure, pedicure, my favorite coffee drink, cake a movie, etc. I am not a fan of going out to loud or crowded places so something chill is perfect for me.  Unfortunately this year, I didn't do much of anything.  Oh well, better luck next time.

  Hi guys!! IUI #1 is well on the way.   My test day is the 7th - but knowing me I will probably test way before then.  Since this is my first IUI I've been testing out the trigger with the idea that I will begin testing again on 10dpiui...crazy, I know!  If we need a round two I'm sure I'll calm down (did the same thing almost with my first round of Clomid).   

  Favorite way to spend my birthday? Well, when I lived on the east coast it was going out for a nice lobster dinner on the pier (I lived in Maine) and then walking around the Old Port (waterfront shopping).  Not sure what we'll do this year - maybe just a nice dinner and spending time together... 

  Me: 30, DH: 40 

  TTC since January 2012HSG & Bloodwork: Normal, SA: NormalDx: Unexplained Infertility 50mg Clomid + TI = BFN (three cycles)

  50mg Clomid + trigger + IUI = BFP (one cycle)

  Beta #1 (12dpo) = 49  Beta #2 (14dpo)= 149

  Congrats to the BFPs!

   IUI #2 was this afternoon. I do my hcg booster shot next Monday and then beta will be 3/19 if no period by then.

  QOTW:  when H and I celebrate just the two of us we do just a very nice dinner out. To celebrate with friends I prefer to organize a dinner/bar night for his birthday. My birthday is in July so my preferred celebration is just spending the day at the beach.

  Looks like IUI#5 will have to be in April since we are going to be out of town this month when we would do an IUI. Oh well, we're old pros at waiting

  We like to get away for birthdays. Ours are only a day apart, so we will usually take a long weekend away in the mountains together. There are some beautiful cabins that we like to stay at and snowshoe around and then have some yummy meals out.

  Hi ladies! IUI #2 was a BFN.  I'm on CD4 now and started my crazy pills...err, Clomid...last night.  Our goal is to do an IUI (#3) this cycle, but nervous I'll have a conflict with a trip (OOT wedding, can't cancel).  So we might end up only doing one IUI (normally we do B2B) and TI or all TI, but we'll see.  Hoping my body cooperates!  We will also get DH's antibiotics results some time next week (another SA), so hoping we get good news with that.

  QOTW: Hmm, we always do random things, just depends on the year and what we have going on.  Either we have friends/fam over for a party, go out with friends/fam, or just hang out the two of us.  My birthday is right after Christmas & New Year's, so it tends to be a little more low key.

  Hmmm...I post at least once a week but I always seem to never be on the list or in the wrong category somehow. Anywho, we are on IUI #6 with injectables, today is CD 8 and I'll be going in on Saturday for my first monitoring ultrasound.

  Our favorite ways to celebrate birthdays is usually a vacation. DH and I have birthdays that fall within one month of each other so we usually like to treat ourselves to a little getaway while we still have time to enjoy each other and no little ones running around

  IUI #1 was a bust. 4 days after I had it done I found out I had 3 hemorrhagic cysts and my lining was down to 5.1 --- RE pretty much guaranteed we were out. On CD2 right now and meeting a new RE next week... so IUI #2 won't happen for at least another cycle or two. Back to trying on our own until we get a plan.

  QOTW:  What is your favorite way to celebrate your birthday?? (My husband and my birthday are both coming up...I may be fishing for ideas!!) I'm a foodie... so I love going out to eat, for any occasion, or no real occasion at all

  IUI #6 was cancelled yesterday at CD3 since my baseline ultrasound showed a 42 mm cyst.  I am praying this month goes by quickly so that we can start a new cycle. 

   

  QOTW: My birthday is in September and one of my favorite things to do is to go to the local apple orchard/farm and pick apples with my friends, followed up with cider donuts, yum!  Sort of a little kids birthday wish, but I have been doing it since I was little.

  I'm at 10DPIUI on IUI#2 still.  I may test tomorrow but go in for my beta Monday.  I keep going back and forth between IUI#3 or moving onto IVF if this cycle doesn't work. My husband keeps saying "I'm feeling good about this cycle, let's not give up on it until we know more".  He keeps me sane on so many occasions.

  QOTW:   My birthday is a week before Christmas and the past few years we've gone to some friends for a Christmas party on my birthday weekend.  It's become a tradition and I love it. 

  Me-31/DH-32, TTC since Aug 2011, HSG/Blood work all normal 3 SAs - results all over the place. DX Unexplained 

  3 failed IUIs, IVF #1: 12R/6M/6F, transferred 1 5d blast, no frosties, bfn.   IVF #2:  12R/6M/5F, transferred 1 5dt, 2 frosties, bfn.    Yale EFT test done, mild inflamation - maybe endometrisis?   FET #1: transferred 2 6d blasts, BFP!!!  Beta #1: 606 e2:303, P: 47   Beta #2: 1,817    Beta #3: 8,625

  Well I think we are back on track for IUI in April after a brief 2nd opinion mistake.  Anyway, we are on a natural/break cycle for March since I will be going out of town next week which also happens to be when I will most likely O. 

   QOTW:  Every year DH "surprises" me by having all my friends show up to my favorite restaurant.  Just seeing my friends all take time out to celebrate with me is all I need for any birthday present!
