So sorry @Labluver2 I am probably out too as I started bleeding yesterday even while on progesterone. Bloodwork is tomorrow morning. Haven't talked to dr yet
@bpietronicco sorry to you as well. Was this your last IUI? We are doing our 4th I don't think our Dr wants to do anymore after that as he said we should discuss what's next if this one doesn't work. We decided not to do ivf so this one better work.
@Labluver2 this was our 4th iui but 5th cycle- one got cancelled. Our RE doesn't want to do anymore iuis. We are debating 1 round of ivf but need to discuss it further. We originally were not going to do it but we have been through so much we don't want to wonder what if. We are OOP so we have to seriously consider.
@meredithj123 haha thank you. I feel so super bitchy. I'm at work and everyone is annoying me for no good reason.
I also feel super tired and out of it and my face is such a mess. I've struggled with acne since I went off the pill 2 years ago and have some topical stuff from my dermatologist. But over the last several days my face has turned in to a site of swollen and painful pimples including ones around my mouth. Ugh! Thanks goodness for makeup. I know I haven't totally hidden them but at least it doesn't look as bad. I've also been having cramps on and off.
I'm going to test Friday morning. I kind of just want this entire month over for us. After this we will likely wait until January for 75% IVF coverage since the RA and male urologist specializing in MFI never thought we were good IUI candidates anyway.
@greenhillgirl have you had these symptoms with your other iui? I'm feeling blah, getting anxious about testing. I have had some very mild cramps the past few days but otherwise zero symptoms. I'm thinking about starting to test tonight.. I'm only 8 days post iui but last month AF came at 10 days post iui. Definitely feeling like it will be a BFN and I'll be onto cycle 3!
@meredithj123 I've had all the symptoms except such bad acne but it's totally likely it's from the trigger shot. If it were me I would try not to test and wait for the period or test at 13 or 14 dpiui if possible. I hate it when I cave and test early and don't really know what it means. But trust me- I know that's always easier said than done. Fx we both get a surprise!
@bpietronicco that's great they are doing another cycle. What are they doing differently? We may be on the same TWW again. I went I. For another ultrasound and Be today my progesterone on Monday was still too high to get started. It was lower today so I'll start the femera tonight for 5 days then start the gonal F for two days after and folli check on Wed next week which is the 15th I think. Good luck hoping this is the one!!!!
@meredithj123 I think I had one in 2012 maybe. Never had one besides that. It's like it hurts when I have to go kind of burning but then I don't have to go as much as I thought for the pain/pressure. Ugh. I guess I have to get antibiotics. Wonder if IUI helped cause it?
@greenhillgirl ya it might have! I'd definitely go get checked out! (I'm in the medical field btw UTI is also common in pregnancy too! I've been having super bad cramps and bloated. I feel like AF is gonna start any second!!! Still keeping fingers crossed for both of us!
I got my BFN this morning. Who else is left? I think this July group is fading out haha.
We agreed we will save our energy and wait until January when I can have 75% IVF coverage since that is what our doctor has recommended for us all along. Positive and negative feelings.
@greenhillgirl so sorry for your BFN! I don't think anyone has gotten a positive this month! AF came this morning for me, feeling discouraged as we have one IUI left! Good luck in January!!
Good morning ladies sorry for all the bfn. Posting here due to was suppose to have my 4th iui in July but was switched to tic. *Tw* Woke up this morning and took an ovulation test and it was positive so of course I had to take a pregnancy test. POSITIVE ladies I'm at a loss of words and will be contacting my doctor first thing in the morning!!! End Tw* I wish all of you the best of luck
I go in for my end of cycle consult and Beta tomorrow. My excitement came to a blah moment this morning.
No AF but with heavy boobs and more bloating and cramping than usual today than through the TWW, I am worried. That wench is supposed to show her ugly self on or around the 15th. Hoping this is just continued side effects from progesterone supplements but have nothing to base it on.
TW. Well guys I'm shocked. I thought my period had started Thursday night as I was feeling crampy and had spotting. Was depressed and drank a beer. It was less yesterday and then nothing today so I was confused. Zero symptoms at all. Less than previous IUIs. Figured it was way too late for implantation bleeding as my period was due right around the same time. BFP this morning!!!! I cried I'm in disbelief. Unfortunately I'm in Canada, my husband is at home so I have to wait to tell him until Wednesday! Hoping I can somehow get a beta tomorrow somewhere. Hoping this little bean sticks... best of luck to you all..this is proof to not give up even when you think it's over! I give God the credit as I really put my faith in him this cycle . Thank you for all of the support this summer and I will be praying for all of you!!!
I got a positive ovulation test on July 29th and 30th @meredithj123 so we may have the same due date. I'm calling my Re tomorrow morning. I have to take leveonex also.
@Prayingfor2 congratulations I'm so excited for you. Please forgive me but when was your iui? **Tw*** Mu Re just called Hcg is 161.8 and progesterone is 22.48. Still in shock but very much happy ☺
@Prayingfor2 congrats!!! How exciting!! We are due a day apart then!! @rel_1987 Lets all keep in touch it would be fun to be going through it all together! I'm out of town so I don't get my numbers checked until Thursday! I'm so nervous
Hi ladies! Just checking in. I haven't been on in a while. My July cycle was cancelled and I was put on birth control for this month and will hopefully be able to do a cycle in September.
@meredithj123 yes lets definitely all keep in touch. Its amazing to have women to talk to who know the journey and struggle of getting to this point. Please let us know your beta results Thursday. @sunnynat2015 I'm sorry they cancelled your cycle and hope next month is your month. Also thank you ☺ Afm I have insomnia something terrible uggh lol
@Labluver2 looks like we are on same cycle again. Did 5 days letrozole ending on Sunday and started fsh injections last night and tonight and go for monitoring on Wednesday! I am hopeful this will be our month!! the re changed up a couple of things- started injections a little earlier I believe and we did another shg to maybe flush out my unblocked tube. She is switching the type of progesterone I will be using after iui. She is also going to confirm for me that the trigger actually worked.
@Prayingfor2 I know my Re will have me see him through the first trimester. And I am not sure about moving to another board. Based off my lmp my due date should be April 23rd
*lurking from PAIF* @Prayingfor2@rel_1987@meredithj123 you gals are welcome over on the Pregnant After Infertility board!! There's a First/Second/Third Trimester Check In each week and a Weekly Random. I've also keep in contact with the other girl from my IUI group through messaging - it's great support! Congrats!!

Sigh. How is everyone else today?
But pregnancy test on Monday!! Eeks!
And I hope those still in your TWW have great news in the end.

I want to cry. I want to scream. I want to dance. But mostly I want to sleep!! I'm so tired!! Lol
**Tw*** Mu Re just called Hcg is 161.8 and progesterone is 22.48. Still in shock but very much happy ☺
My numbers are doubled from yours .... does that mean double beans?!? Oh god.
Sorry for all the BFNs this month.
@rel_1987 and @prayingfor2 Congrats on your BFP! So happy for you both!
@sunnynat2015 I'm sorry they cancelled your cycle and hope next month is your month. Also thank you ☺
Afm I have insomnia something terrible uggh lol
thank you! We will all have late April babies!
Strange policy question... do we move to a different board? Also is it standard that we continue seeing the RE through the first trimester?
I am am concerned that our insurance will get flagged with the positive HCG and expect me to go back to PCP for OB referral.
the re changed up a couple of things- started injections a little earlier I believe and we did another shg to maybe flush out my unblocked tube. She is switching the type of progesterone I will be using after iui. She is also going to confirm for me that the trigger actually worked.
