We are well. Had our 3rd IUI yesterday. Count was 12.4 million. We were hoping for a little better, but we'll take it as it's the best count we've had so far.
Well after a bunch of testing...everything is 'good' on our end...and believe it or not we did our 4th iui last wk. I don't remember the count at the moment but have had really good ones in the past.
Do y'all do progesterone level testing after the first wk? We did ours....this was our last natural iui...our tests came back yesterday, 19.5. Highest we've had so far..
We started doing progesterone tests 1 week after the IUI following the last IUI, so we have now done it twice. Both times we were in single digits, but our doctor only wants to see something above 3. He said it progesterone levels fluctuate but should remain above 3.
:/ oh no I'm sry. Don't give up! It's gonna happen!! Just stay off Facebook when all your friends are posting baby pics/pregnancy pics. (Sry that how we feel/that's what it seems like) Go out on date night. I know that's what we try to do...
We find out Tuesday....getting antsy....but at the same time feeling like my cycle is about to start. Super discouraging, super stressful.
Our doctor hasn't brought up IVF yet, so we're progressing with IUIs until further notice. Everything is normal as far as things go, it's just a matter of everything lining up perfectly, according to the doctor this week. Currently on the third cycle with Clomid and HCG. What about for you?
Well, as expected- BFN. Blah. We've done 4 natural iui's and the dr still recommend one more natural iui. We've decided to move forward to number 5 but with clomid- so off to ultrasounds we go....going to the dr tomorrow.
We had our 4th IUI yesterday. Count was 8.6 million but we have our fingers crossed. Really our counts were better overall. At best we've had 12 million, the rest have been 10 million or less. It only takes one though, right?
Yes - 1 or 2 either way would be more than fine with us at this point!
How was your count, if you don't mind me asking? We're considering where we go from here if this cycle falls through. Just concerned with the counts we've had with this donor and wonder if that's playing in to the effectiveness of previous attempts at all.
You know...it's crazy bc we've had high counts...they told us 50 million. So we r confused on our end bc others have had low counts.. We are definitely going to reconsider on our end as well if this one doesn't go through too :/ It's tough bc we know these are the cards we are dealt and this is where we are but it's truly difficult. Extremely stressful too.
Wow. We'd have a count like that for a change! Oh well... I'm hoping that we won't have to worry about that anymore. We'll see.
I agree it is very tough. After everything we've been through, we're both just ready for success. We try not to stress about it all, but as you are aware that's not entirely possible. At the least, you've got to do your best to keep it in check!
Being how this is all public and we r the only two now on the thread...here's an email address so we can chat if y'all want to... Sir_Riley04@hotmail.com

Hello Parents of Kids of Donor #13516... I am in touch with a few of you, but @Decker21 - I am not with you. Hoping to connect. I have twin boys born July 2014 and am looking to connect with their donor siblings. All the very best - Laura.

Since IUI #2, we've been doing ultrasounds to monitor as well as the regimen I mentioned previously. I hope that everything went well today!
How about y'all?
Def only takes one.....or two ;) either way :)
