    hi i am 33 and just starting the process, i too am single, have wanted a baby since i was a teenager but i have held out. It is a big decision to choose the donor because i feel like there are so many others that continually become available but i think in the end, you are going to love this child that we create. I am hoping to start this month or next, i too have the clear blue easy fertility monitor, i think in my case a little confusing cause my supposed dates are not the actual dates the monitor is telling me so frustrating but keeping my fingers crossed. good luck to you ladies, i commend you!

    My appt on Monday showed that my follicles were to small and also I haven't had my surge!! I think the letrozole is throwing off my cycle as well???? so I go back this morning for u/s #2 to measure follicles and to check my hormone levels to see if I can trigger for an IUI tmr!!! ??

    Welcome Olearye and best of luck on your journey..

    Sasha95, hope your appointment goes well.

    I'm on CD3 today and starting on my Clomid, and the count down begins :)

    I am a single 38 year old woman and had my first IUI yesterday. I monitored my ovulation with the Ovulation Predictor kit and got a smiley face. Went in the next day. I'll find out in a few weeks if I'll have another smiley face in 9 months! :)

    Best of luck, I hope you do get that second smiley face in a few week :)

    I am so glad to know that I am not the only one out there. I just turned 30 as well and am eager to get started. My next appointment is on the 12th. I am hoping we can all have good luck on the first try!

    Nice!! What method are you going with? Best of luck your way as well.

    I dunno what I'll do if I don't get the results I want on the first try lol...

    I received my tank yesterday and last month I got a positive on my test strip for ovulation on CD13. Today is CD13 and that strip doesn't seem to be working or getting any darker. I'm getting paronoid that I might miss my day. Which digital devices work best???

    I am single and 42 and am scheduled to have my ultrasound and blood work on Oct21st and if all is well my ICI on 10/24!!

    Anyone in the south jersey area?

    Jen15: Clearblue Digital Monitor is great. It's pricey (around $130), but very accurate and I got pregnant from second IUI using it (obviously other factors involved getting pregs, but timing is everything right?). Good investment considering how expensive viles are, if it helps to reduce # of IUIs before BFP. Best place to get it is on amazon.com. Remember to buy test sticks with it.

    One more tip: it's helpful to combine cheapie strips with the digital, just for comparison.

    Thanks, I'll keep that one in mind for next time. It's to late to order it now. Hopefully I get a positive on my test strips tomorrow.

    So I got a positive result on my ovulation test strips today so I'll be going in for my ICI tomorrow..... I'm kind of excited :-)

    Good luck! I got a positive result on mine Friday, but this month we are just monitoring. So this Friday morning I go in to check Progesterone levels. And as long as it all looks good, I'll do my IUI on my next cycle.

    Thanks. I conducted my ICI today at the doctors office and this was kind of new for my Doc but I'm sure his aim was good.

    Now the fun part begins with the 2WW.

    Did you stay with donor 13077? That is the donor I chose before you posted!
  • pammodugnopammodugno Posts: 55
    Today is the day!!! So excited!!! I am praying that everything goes well!
  • Jen15Jen15 Posts: 67
    Pam I hope all goes well for you FX. I did stay with that donor. I'm actually hanging out in baby bump now in a forum with other women waiting for Oct results. I'm down to 1ww and can't wait to see my results :)
  • pammodugnopammodugno Posts: 55

    Jen do you have the link for that forum? Are you getting any symptoms? I guess Donor 13077 had good motility 20 million!!!
  • Jen15Jen15 Posts: 67
    Thanks....

    This is the link to the forum i'm currently in http://babybump.alt12.com/community/groups/88-trying-to-conceive/posts/2366216-af-last-week-of-oct

    I had a few symptoms, fealling slightly nausea, tingly boobs and a strong scent of urination lol. But the symptoms don't seem to be getting any stronger. I tested yesterday and got a bfn, but I still have a few days before af.

    My boobs are really full, nipples sensitive, tingling feelings by ovary, and my mouth feels like I have cotton in it in the morning!
