Re: TTC Check-In
I am still waiting on AF to show. It is officially 4 days late. My temp dropped today so fx that means AF will show today too. Never thought I would be so excited to get my period. I also am currently obsessed with counting days on the calendar so I can guess when I will be getting my next IUI and my first since last October. Last time around it was always 10 days after my last day of flow but my body is so wacky lately so who knows.
QOTW: I am not thinking of any one in particular today but if anyone here is or has a loved one that is currently serving or has served I would like to thank them.

TTC#1
IUI#1 9/26/13 BFN
IUI#2 10/26/13 BFP beta #1 99 #2 456
2/20/2014 Brynlee Madeline is taken too soon at 19weeks she was perfect
IUI#3 6/10/14 BFP beta #1 276 beta #2 722 20w A/S shows we are having a girl
Originally we had said we were going to skip this first cycle, but when we met with the RE, C changed her mind. She was the one who told him that we wanted to start with this cycle. I was surprised but I wasn't going to argue .
QOTW: I have many family members and friends who have served in the military. None were killed during their service that I know of. I know some of my friends, who have served in Afghanistan and Iraq, have many rough days. I cannot imagine the things they have seen and experienced. I think of their struggles often.

Natural Cycle IUI #1 : BFN, December 2013
Ps the only office open on weekends is not as good as our regular office and so thank god for these boards so I knew what to ask!
@AandStilltrying - FX so tightly for a BFP!
@Himee33 - I'm sorry your having such a rough go with the meds. I hope all looks well and on track at your appointment.
@mrs&mrsk - Good luck with your first IUI!
@Moretacosplease - FX that all goes well for you this cycle.
@CrazyAunt84 - So sorry for your BFN. Taking a month off is hard but it can also be refreshing. I hope that your RE appointment will be helpful and put you on a great track.

Finally got AF called the RE to report day one and they should call be back later today to let me know when to start using OPK. So surreal thinking in a couple weeks I will have some sperm in my again. I threw away all the info from BostonIVF because Reva and I only ever wanted one and I never thought I would be going through all of this again. So I had to dig through the random papers to try and find a bill from the RE's office so I had my patient ID number. Life sure does have a plan for you that something isn't your plan for yourself.

Well, this cycle was a BFN Sad. I thought injects would really do the trick. I think I'm going to try one more cycle before asking C to jump in the saddle. I'm starting to let go of the idea of getting pregnant - or at least being the first to get pregnant. It's obviously not happening for me regardless of the strong meds, excellent timing, and all the extra measures I've taken to try to get this to work. I don't know what's wrong with me. I know it's not the sperm because obviously that's rigorously screened. It's just so frustrating... I have one more free vial of sperm which is why I'm even trying one more time at all (I honestly just want to give up because it's been really hard on me physically and emotionally). If this doesn't work then it's definitely C's turn. Initially I really wanted to get pregnant but at this point I just want a baby. I figure I can start trying again as soon as C has a baby (I have a feeling she won't have as hard of a time as me getting KU). But at this point we're both just ready to be parents. I hate pushing this off on C (she doesn't want to be pregnant but she's willing to do it if I literally cannot).
Anyway, I'm going to stop progesterone and just wait for AF to show up. Such an awful, heartbreaking process. I feel like I just flushed $2K down the toilet all for nothing. I don't even know if it's worth trying anymore for me. I guess since we have one vial under my name I better at least use it but... Ugh. I'm unhappy with how shitty my luck has been with all this. I really thought injects would do the trick. So depressing.
Thank you, @CrazyAunt84! I'm bummed but I recover quickly. I'm just glad I have C. If I was trying to have a baby by myself it obviously would never happen! But at least C is here and willing to try, too. And of course I'll love any baby she gives birth to as much as my own.

Sorry to hear that, @StacyLH24! I didn't realize your wife wasn't willing to carry I'd be sad if C told me she wouldn't do it. I was hoping she'd have a bio baby at some point anyway because I think it would be adorable to have a kid with her features.
Really hoping IVF does the trick for you. It seems to have a much higher likelihood of working (IUI is such a crapshoot for many of us) so try to stay optimistic!
DW couldn't make it today so I was flying solo with the RE alone! I felt weird and he seemed uninterested in my case. I think he thinks I'm crazy! The appt was more like me talking about what I read online rather then him saying what he wants to do and how he can help me.
We aren't sure exactly when we will start trying again but it will be our 5th attempt. If it is unsuccessful he will do some trasvaginal hydro-laparoscopy test. He said he would consider doing an overlap cycle of Femera and small dose of injects but says I am young and there is a 10-15% chance of multiples. No word on if we should move to IVF at some point.
I inquired about boosting my lining as it was always around 7.5mm, I asked about baby aspirin and he said I could take it and to take it with 400mg of vit E. I later read on the net that they should not be combined! Wtf! He said I do not need to re-do testing. It's not necessary. According to him!
I later checked out his website and the fees have gone up and even tho we have coverage in Ontario, Canada for monitoring his clinic will now be charging a monitoring fee of $350 annually.
I'm already annoyed and discouraged.
Sorry for the rant Should I have made another post for this? Sorry and thank you for reading.
