Halfway thru the tww! It's going to be tough waiting another week to find out if my IUI was a success......any tips from others who have been through it?!

    Just want through it, I gave in and tested. Glad I did because I was able to mentally prepare for official results from the dr

    Best wishes, keep us posted. It was also helpful being able to chat here, read others experiences and get encouragement

    Thanks KBT! I'm so afraid to test at home. Between the week of follistem shots, the trigger shot and now I'm taking progesterone suppositories I'm afraid I may get a false positive. Luckily I'm busy at work so I'm able to focus a bit on something other than the dreaded Tww!

    The progesterone isn't suppose to impact results but the trigger definitely will. Getting through the weekend was the worst for me because like you said during the week you can stay busy at work. My next TWW, I will be out of work so I am going to finish my flooring and trimming in the room I hope to say will be the nusery.

    Jenn, I think that the second week is worse than the first. Supposed to find out Tuesday. It's going to be a loooong weekend. Lol.

    I'm already counting down the days and hours! Luckily I have filled my weekend with activities to keep my mind off things! Thursday can't come fast enough!

    KBT when does your next cycle start?

    Good Luck Sf13! Sending baby dust your way!!

    I go back Friday to start monitoring ovulation through bloodwork and ultrasound. So probably a week from Tues.

    Sf- I agree. The second week is agonizing.

    Big fat negative for me. AF even decided to visit a day early just to taunt me. Good luck to both of you!

    Thanks Sf13. Are you going to try another cycle of iui? I go on Thursday morning so I'll find out Thursday afternoon if it was a success....fingers crossed!

    Jenn, I'm actually going to jump right to IVF. Normally I'd try a few more IUI's but my insurance coverage for fertility will be ending shortly and I want to take advantage of it. I will be thinking happy pregnant thoughts for you on Thursday. Lots of baby dust headed your way!

    Sf same here, I will do one more cycle of iui then if no luck IVF

    Good Luck with IVF! My doctor wanted to go right to IVF but my insurance company denied it. I only get a certain dollar amount for fertility treatments/meds. So hopefully this will be successful. Thanks for the positive thoughts!

    Jen, why did your doc want to jump right to IVF if you don't mind me asking? I'm in the "advanced maternal age" category, so time is not on my side unfortunately. I wish I had realized I wanted to do this years ago. It might have made a difference.

    I'm 36 going on 37 but apparently my eggs are older than I am. Come to find out the women in my family tend to go through menopause at an early age.....my aunt stopped getting AF at 40 and my mother went through it in her mid 40's. I find it all a bit comical really.....I spent the majority of my life trying not to get pregnant and now the clock is ticking and I'm doing everything to get pregnant!

    Negative :( and of course my period came today so I kinda knew before they called!
  • KBTKBT Posts: 379
    Sorry. I go for u/s and bloodwork to see where I am in the ovulation process
  • KBTKBT Posts: 379
    When will you start IVF
  • jenn0977jenn0977 Posts: 97
    I'm not sure my insurance will approve IVF yet. So I'm going to do another IUI. They want me to take a month off and then they are going to change up the meds a bit. Hopefully I will start up again when I get my next period :)

    Good luck with the next cycle :)

    @ jenn- sorry to hear about the negative. And I totally agree with you about the time crunch thing. Kind of ironic. Wish I had known back then how difficult it would be the older you get. You don't really think it will ever be an issue. You still doing acupuncture?
    @ KBT- I will start my IVF next month. Where are you at in the process? How did u/s go?

    To both of you....just read this book by Rebecca Fett called "It Starts With the Egg". Fascinating stuff. You might be interested.

    Still doing acupuncture and will continue with it til my next round of iui! Good luck to you both and keep the updates coming!

    I had my IUI on Friday and a second tomorrow.
  • jenn0977jenn0977 Posts: 97
    Good Luck! So they are inseminating you twice within a few days? Best wishes and lots of baby dust!
  • KBTKBT Posts: 379
    I have my iui tomorrow. I am only doing one this time. Follicle today measured 18
  • jenn0977jenn0977 Posts: 97
    KBT- Hope all goes well today!! Lots of baby dust!
