PAIF/SAIF Welcome!
Add me, please.
1. Where are you at in the IUI process? (2WW, meds, break, etc.
2ww starting today!
2. Which IUI are you on?
Femara, Ovidrel
3. Test/Beta day?
January 14th
My N.Y. resolution is to be more loving and positive.
I am now in the 2WW. Had IUI #3 yesterday. I'll test on 1/13 because this time around I am being put on progesterone.
No resolution but lots to look forward to. I started a new role today and everyone was soo nice. It seems like its going to be way lower stress so yay! I also get to see my MIL when she comes to run the marathon in a few weeks and see my mom in May (haven't seen her since our wedding May 2012).
1. I am just starting my cycle (today actually )and will be starting IUI this month.
2. This is IUI #1. Did Clomid with timed intercourse last month but no luck.
3. Test day unknown. Have my CD3 blood work on Friday.
QOTW: I am focusing on getting back into healthy eating habits. Kicking the sugar and doing Whole30. Also, weight loss. I gained a bunch in the past year (thyroid issues) and dying to get it off. So, until I'm preggers I'll be losing weight like a fiend (but mostly just being healthy)
Married 2008 - DH (44) ME (30)

Beta is on Friday. I couldn't wait, so I POAS this morning and it was a BFP. Here's hoping the little munchkin sticks around :-)
QOTW: No resolution. I figure that I have every day to make positive changes, so why wait for once a year?
Happy New Year!!!!
1. Where are you at in the IUI process? We are in the 2ww... and it is brutal. I triggered last Thursday and had the IUI on Friday, then we did TI for the following days. I started my edometrin yesterday. I am very hopeful... maybe too much actually. So far the 'signs' are no different that the first IUI but I am more relaxed, confident, and positive.
2. Which IUI are you on? #2 - we are very hopeful for 2014!
3. Test/Beta day? late... I thought they would have done it on Friday, Jan 10th but they scheduled it for Monday, Jan 13th... killer! I think I will POAS starting Monday or Tuesday of next week.
Congratulations to all recent BFPs!!
Hugs to all those that need them!!!

That myth is more potent than history.
That dreams are more powerful than facts.
That hope always triumphs over experience.
That laughter is the only cure for grief.
And I believe that love is stronger than death.

So, had my CD3 blood work and IV ultrasound this morning. Everything looks quiet so they'll be starting me on Clomid and I'll be going in to check my ovulation soon. Doing Clomid and the Ovidrel shot, then IUI#1 commences!

No real updates just waiting to meet with the RE. And then will have the new plan on moving forward
Congrats to all BFP's
Do you have a New Year’s Resolution?
Yes I am no longer making a coffee run before work. Everyday at $3.07 for a coffee I planned on having money put in to a savings account each week for a year. It will be a nice little pay off to start 2015
Married in September 2010, started TTC journey November 2012
Me-
7 IUI- 2 CP- 2 BFN
RPL blood work 12/27, showed a balance translocation in chromosome 11;22
Spouse-
PCOS 4 IUI-4 BFN
New Plan: Reciprocal IVF, me as carrier wife's eggs. Just went through insurance and received partial approval, so my part will go through my IVF benefits and wife's part will be out of pocket. Now just finalizing finance plans to cover the oop costs. Doctors office is in process of moving to a new building so there are no IVF start ups until March/April 2015.
Dx : DOR
IUI #1 (Follistim switched over to Menopur injections) - BFN
Attempted IUI #2 (Menopur injections only cycle) better response on the Menopur then the Follistim combination treatment cycle however my cycle was still canceled due to my eggs not maturing and follicles not growing enough on a high dose of Menopur (Re said I could try a cycle of comid + ovidrel for an IUI) for my second IUI( praying this works for us)
Clomid + Ovidrel protocol worked still a BFN as a result
Attempted cycle Clomid + Ovidrel protocol for IUI # 3 (Unable to do this cycle due to a cyst)
IUI # 3 Clomid+ Ovidrel protocol - BFP Beta #1 752 Beta #2 1536 Beta #3 3797
