Details: This was my third medicated IUI (third time I'd ever ovulated). It was our first cycle with injects. We did Follistim, Ovidrel, an IUI, and endometrin. I only had one follicle and I was not feeling hopeful at all.
So, wow. My beta was scheduled for yesterday and I was irritated at the inconvenience of having to go in even though I knew I wasn't pregnant because my test was negative on Wednesday. Imagine my surprise when my nurse called me in the afternoon and told me the results were positive! I was completely shocked. As you might remember, I had already been mentally preparing to take a couple of months off before starting IVF. Of course, after I got off the phone I immediately peed on a FRER because I assumed the nurse was just fucking with me. Needless to say that second line popped up immediately!
Funny story though... I had my husband read the home test on Wednesday because I was too nervous to look. He told me it was negative, gave me a hug, and went off to work. After we got the positive results on Friday, I was giving him shit about not being able to read pregnancy tests. He was like, "no! It was negative! It looked nothing like this!" He felt compelled to dig it out of the bottom of the garbage can (yuck) and what do you know, there was a pretty obvious line on that one too. Husband fail!
My beta was 64 at 14dpiui, which might be a little low, so I'm feeling pretty cautious still. I'd appreciate any crossed fingers and happy though. My next beta is on Wednesday.
There are some additional details and pictures posted on TTGP, if you're interested (I'm trying to be sensitive so I omitted them here).
Thank you guys so much for welcoming me to this board. I know in more than one way I don't "fit" in the traditional sense, but this board has been my rock for the past 5-6 months. I love and appreciate you. I hope you all can get to the end of your IF journey soon too.

@lebradford I felt compelled to read your post to my DH as tomorrow I will be taking a HPT before my beta on Monday. He said we won't have an issue the test is digital and will say yes no. We got the FRER test and confirmation test. So I said "no, we have to do the one with the lines first". I have a feeling I will have to check myself.

Me 34 Him 33
Me - Left salpingo-oophorectomy at 19 due to large cyst/torsion and 2 large uterine fibroids found at age 30
Him - Borderline low sperm count (correcting through Fertility Blend supplement)
Married 8/20/2011
TTC #1 since Jan 2013
First appointment with RE 10/2013.
April 2014 - Clomid 100mg CD3-7. HCG shot CD10 IUI #1 done on 4/12/14 (CD12) ....BFN May 2014 - Break cycle to repeat saline sonogram and re-group. Travel to Kauai 5/7-5/12 (Yay!!)
June 2014 - Clomid 150mg CD4-8. HCG shot CD14. IUI#2 done on 6/9 and 6/10 (CD15-16) w/ Prometrium suppositories during TWW .... BFN
July 2014 - Clomid 150mg CD3-7. Ultrasound CD12 - 4 mature follies! HCG trigger shot CD12 AM. IUI#3 on CD13 w/ Prometrium suppositories during TWW ....BFN
July 2014 - Repeat ultrasound done to measure size of fibroid - 8x9cm (the size of a grapefruit!) Surgery referral made.
August 2014 - MRI done which revealed 2 fibroids: a 13x15cm fibroid as well as an 8x7cm one. Super freak out mode over surgery plan. OB-GYN/surgeon said surgery would most likely have to be a laparotomy (open abdominal surgery)
August 2014 - After a 2nd opinion, plan to take Lupron x 2 months to shrink fibroids then laparoscopic/robotic myomectomy. Surgery date is set for Nov 21st!
November 2014 - Robotic myomectomy done (2 large fibroids removed, mild endo found). Benched x 3 months
Currently testing for infertility cause and hormone imbalance.
Infertility & ovarian cyst diagnosis: May '14
B/W: 'good', more ordered to check antibodies & progesterone
SA: Normal
U/Ss for cyst: who the f knows
DH's cat scan: showed encapsulated fatty growth; u/s: didn't really show much more
Breast Specialist: Most likely a large fibroid, but keeping an eye on it, repeat u/s every 6mos
HSG: clear tubes, uterus is A-ok
WHAT'S NEXT: DH's consult with surgeon to discuss next step for growth, either biopsy or surgery~Big discussion with Dr. before any possibility of starting Clomid, since I'll want another u/s before and to be monitored and he doesn't seem into that. I had to force his hand just to order the AMH test so may be looking for another OB
~All welcome ~

@jennym25 Don't forget a digital is usually significantly less sensitive than a dye test. I'd recommend a FRER for something really sensitive. Good luck!

~~~January 3T Siggy Challenge: New Year's Resolutions~~~
(I don't do resolutions...so I stole T-Rex's)
@jennym25 Don't forget a digital is usually significantly less sensitive than a dye test. I'd recommend a FRER for something really sensitive. Good luck!
Never trust husband reading test.. I will take a mental note of that! Lol

*****Siggy Warning*****
Trying to have baby #1 since April 2013
DH SA March,May 2014 - Low motility and shape issues. On vitamins per RE to help
Me testing April 3, 2014 - FSH and LH good, HSG showed blocked right tube
April 29, 2014 - First RE appt., right tube needs to be removed and possibly left also if
it's bad too. RE suggests going straight to IVF
June 4, 2014 - LAP/HSC and unexpected endo. removed but tubes got to stay!
June 13, 2014 - Post-Op appointment. We decide where to go next since main issue
is MFI influenced. Trying naturally until decision... Repeat SA in September. Aiming for IUI #1 November 2014.
