    @bsckgb7 Here I am....thanks for setting up.  Lets do this ladies! 

    What did you do this cycle?  TI only with no meds
    How many DPO are you today and when will you test? 3DPO and will test around 10/9 if I can make it that long.
    Are you testing out of the trigger (if applicable)?  N/A
    Are you having a beta or doing home tests? HPT, then beta if necessary.

    GTKY:  Tell me something you have done differently this cycle to try and KTFU!!!  I wish I could say I really put in full effort and I feel confident this is the month for me, but I don't and I didn't.  2 BDs in this cycle.  I added pineapple core, does that count? I will say, DH and I were able to climax at same time, which I hear really helps.  At least my sister says that is what did it for all 3 kids, but who knows. :-@ There is no definite trick, I'm figuring that out quick - well really not quick.

    Good luck ladies!! Fingers crossed for u all! The pineapple thing always confused me, does the core have a specific nutrient that aids in implantation?
    Report Reply
  • bsckgb7bsckgb7 member
    Yes. You are supposed to take a whole pinnapple and cut the outside off. Then lay it on its side and cut i to 5 slices. Each day each one peice, core and all. The pineapple (and mostly the core) has something that supposedly helps implantation. I think it's mostly a mild blood thinner. You take it 1-5dpo and it's supposed to help implantation.

    It's what is in the pineapple that helps.  Cut up a whole pineapple and eat 1 slice everyday after Ovulation/IUI/IVF
    Cut up a whole pineapple, cut the core into 5 pieces and eat once piece daily starting the day after ovulation/IUI/IVF transfer - See more at: https://www.fertilityafter40.com/9-fertility-wonder-foods-separating-myth-from-fact-to-get-pregnant-faster-naturally.html#sthash.2acgyeni.dpuf

    Bromelain

    • Reduces inflammation in the body, including in the uterus. It is also a mild blood thinner which some believe can aid in implantation.
    • Bonus: It is also used for preventing muscle soreness after intense exercise.
    • Can be found in 1 cup of Pineapple, most predominately in the core of the fruit.
    The benefits of blood thinners (in moderation, of course) during those months of “trying” is that they drive blood to the uterus, encouraging sticky embryos and reducing the chances of miscarriage. The fact that bromelain also functions as an anti-inflammatory means that it has promising benefits for your immune system, possibly preventing implantation issues which can be common for women who have inflammatory conditions.

    on’t start eating pineapple until after ovulation as it can actually inhibit pregnancy if taken too early as the acidity of pineapple can effect cervical mucous
    Cut up a whole pineapple, cut the core into 5 pieces and eat once piece daily starting the day after ovulation/IUI/IVF transfer
    If you don’t have a fresh core, eat one cup of pineapple meat a day once a day starting the day after ovulation/IUI/IVF transfer. - See more at: https://www.fertilityafter40.com/does-eating-pineapple-with-bromelain-help-with-implantation-during-pregnancy.html#sthash.B2Cg1FMK.dpuf

    What did you do this cycle?
    I did Follistim 75 days 4-7 then Follistim 100 days 8 & 9 + (Ovidrel) Trigger + IUI
    How many DPO are you today and when will you test?
    3DPIUI at least 12dpiui
    Are you testing out of the trigger (if applicable)?
    No... I don't really see any reason too..
    Are you having a beta or doing home tests?
    Doing a HPT dr. Said I can do one on 10/10 and I'm going to try my best to hold out until that day... But I for sure won't test before 10/8 if I decide to cheat and do it early.

    GTKY: Tell me something you have done differently this cycle to try and KTFU!!!
    Well first off IUI was a big step this time for us our first time with that! I also did pineapple & core (thanks for the idea all that mentioned it already)
    Keeping positive and low stress
    To help me stay calm and focused.
    I started doing lavender on my pillow at night and on my temples and doing mediation, I try 2 times a day but if I don't get a mid day one in I do it before I go to sleep. I do it with calming nature sound music and just talk to myself and keep clam, positive and focused... I feel like it has helped... At least it's helped ME...

    Thanks for starting @erica0901!!

    Wishing everyone lots of luck!

    What did I do this cycle:
    Bravelle injections, trigger Saturday night, and IUI yesterday (Monday). Will add Crinone starting tomorrow night.

    I am only 1 DPIUI. Boo

    Planning to do a HPT on 10/10 since I have a night out with some girlfriends planned. Beta 10/12.

    GTKY: different this cycle was doing injectibles. I'm glad it's over but it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

    I ate pineapple like a fiend last cycle but haven't eaten any yet this cycle. Now I might run out and buy some after reading all of your comments!

    Nothing really over here (although still a week away).  Day after transfer I felt some pulling/heavy feeling in my uterus.  Gone now.  Slight headache (probably lack of caffeine), sore boobs (progesterone).... wish I had more to say!  Technically, since I did a FET, I think I am 3dp6dt and I am hoping that what I felt the day after was implantation.  My RE said my hatched blasts would start implanting within a day or so from transfer (9/29) if they were going to!

    What did you do this cycle? Letrozole + Ovidrel + TI. Now on Estrace and progesterone.

    How many DPO are you today and when will you test? 7dpo and I have a beta on 10/9

    Are you testing out of the trigger (if applicable)? No

    Are you having a beta or doing home tests? Trying to be patient waiting for the beta, but may test Thursday morning only because I have a test to use!

    GTKY: Tell me something you have done differently this cycle to try and KTFU!!! This is my first cycle so actually starting fertility treatments is different :)

    I did Letrozole and trigger this month. Two follicles, 25 mm and 18mm. Was supposed to do IUI on Sept 19 but DH couldn't produce sample on the spot so we did TI the night of trigger and Sept 19. I did hpt on day 12 and I go for beta Monday morning. Thought I felt cramping this morning so I thought AF was coming...fingers crossed she doesn't

    @junicek so you did a hpt already? I'm assuming that means BFN so far?

    FX for you on beta!

    What did you do this cycle?
    Viagra suppositories, baby Asprin, Letrozole, 10,000hcg trigger, IUI on Sept 25th (Hubs birthday), progesterone suppositories

    How many DPO are you today and when will you test?
    8dpiui/10dpt

    Are you testing out of the trigger (if applicable)?
    No - I did last IUI so I know it takes about 12dpt to exit my system.

    Are you having a beta or doing home tests?
    HPT - supposed to test 10/10 & 10/12 and call my docs office with results. If it's a BFP either day then I go in for a BETA. Now, with that said, I will most likely cave and start testing on 10/7 - 12dpiui and test daily after that until AF arrives or BFP.

    GTKY: Tell me something you have done differently this cycle to try and KTFU!!!
    This time we BD'ed once a day for the first 4 days post IUI to try to have better coverage in the rare case I ovulated later that expected. (My docs office doesn't do post IUI tests to confirm ovulation.). Last time we only did the day after IUI and then my hubs had to leave out of town for work.

    Hello, 

    Your cycle and mine are very much the same. I have by beta on 10.8 and it is toooo...long away. 

    I hope you get your BFP!

    Have a great day!

    @babyexpress yes I did hpt on Thursday and it was clearly negative but I'm hoping it was just too early

    I'm trying not to over analyze my symptoms this go around but I feel like this is a little weird and def different from last IUI cycle. Everyday since the IUI I've been having solid cramps/aches in my UT and ovaries then last night 8dpiui it all noticeably decreased. This morning I'm 9dpiui and it's the same - minimal cramps/aches compared to before. Last cycle I had the pains all the way through until AF showed up. Anyone else experienced this?
