Your cycle sounds more and more like ours!!!!!!
Anyways, what day are you testing? After the whole TWW? Are you forgetting about the TWW? Trying not to think about the symptoms etc?
We've held out on testing sucessfully with all the other cycles so I'm going to hold on till cd14. We'll prolly test the morning of not this coming friday, but next. Unless I develop some undeniable symptoms before then, we just don't wanna see the 'not pregnant' over and over again when it may not even matter, ya know? After 5 IUIs I don't want ANYTHING discouraging us! Positive thoughts all the way!!!
PS. it's kinda nice eating a handful of doritos @ 10:00pm with no guilt! Hehehe!
We go in for a check up tomorrow and they are going to do an US for us to see if we can find out the sex. We are so excited!!!!
Soooooo? What's the verdict? What the heck are you havin'??? BTW... that giraffe IS the bomb!!!! I got so excited for you guys when I saw it!
I am so freaking excited!!!
Oh and don't worry about symptoms! Just try to fly through the two weeks and hurry up and tell us your preggers!
Tommie kinda scared me yesterday, apparently she took the ultrasound pic with her and was analyzing it alllllll day! Well she comes home and tells me she has a concern and that I need to look at something. Well there is a line (it's a black straight line inbetween white areas) that she was like "this could be the bun! This could be a girl"....I was like...........ummmm isn't that the booty cheecks??????????
Lol, but still makes you worry! You can totally see a peter and probably the booty!
I've got a handful of symptoms going on right now but, as usual, it's hard to tell anything for sure this early. Especially since this is my first cycle with injectables. It's getting closer to testing day and I'm starting to get nervous. Did the hybrid work? Was our timing just right this time? Did my swimmers get lucky? ...and Will we have to shell out a ton more money to try again? After 5 trys I could worry myself sick with all these unanswered questions... we just want what everyone else wants, happiness and success.
We have been talking past few days about trying again for a girl. We need to call the bank and ask if our donor has some in holding...to see if we want to buy now or later. I think we will buy 1 more vial - have 2 total to try again.
This is totally gonna work!
We are right back to square 1 again. We have 1 vial left and have decided already to try again with a hybrid cycle except this time we'll try back to back IUIs. OF COURSE our donor is sold out AGAIN. We may have to do a back to back with different donors. Big decisions to make AGAIN. We really think it was a timing issue this time. I had to take shots to stop from surging/ovulating and I think when I stopped those and took the trigger my ovaries were like POW spit them out now! And I O'd too soon. We're hoping back to back IUIs will cover the ENTIRE available time frame for the little eggs.
All that being said, we are so sad. Sad and disappointed. I can't tell you all how many times I've fought back tears or completely broken down today. This will be #6, I mean, really, #6? I have no known health issues and I shouldn't have miscarried on #1. We were supposed to be DUE on Thanksgiving Day next month not STILL TRYING. We felt so confident about this cycle. Even more so than the 1st try because we knew the stats. I haven't called in my day 1 yet but I know we're taking a rest cycle. My left ovary was burnin in overdrive with the follistim. We are just beside ourselves.
For those of you who were successful on the 1st, 2nd or even 3rd try, I truly hope you know how lucky and blessed you really are.
I am so sorry Maggie, but keep us updated.
Nat, I took a test on 12dpo and it was negative. It was the same day that I began to spot lightly. This cycle is a bust. I'm 'heavy spotting' now, not a full flow yet. Not enough to consider it my day 1.
This week has officially turned to s**t.
All I gotta say is that you do the hybrid cycle and based on my research it should work! We did 200mg clomid day 4/5 150mg days 6/7/8 then bravelle day 9/10/11/12 (we might have started on day 3, can't remember - it's a strong possibility!) We did estradiol starting day 6 also.
GRRRRRRRRRRRRR you better have a talk with your little ovaries and uterus! This is ridiculous already!
shunah, any hope for you???? Did you test again?
Our biggest stresser right now is finding a donor. Both #1 and #2 are out of the running now and we have to start from scratch. There are 2 things that we refuse to budge on, blood type and CMV negative status. When we narrow it down from all the donors we end up with only 22. There are several donors that we've considered before out of those 22 but were ruled out, usually for medical history reasons. We may have to consider another bank... the search is on...
My original donor is no longer available, period. I called CCB and both the original and our 2nd choice from this cycle (we still have 1 vial) are gone-dy, no longer an option. Choice #2 is only selling to create siblings and choice #1 is sold out not to return.
I hope this month is nothing but restful in every sense of the word. I feel like we need an emotional detox! I've been sad and disappointed too long...
I hadn't really given it much thought until now but since my ovary was burnin' so much during this cycle, I'm starting to wonder if I'll be sitting out TWO cycles like I did before. I felt the burn during my last rest cycle and the RE said I wasn't ready yet when I went in for cd3 u/s. I didn't feel it at all the next rest cycle and RE said I was ready to get back in it on that cd3 u/s. I will be even more disappointed if we have to wait until January's cycle. That seems SOOO far away :( I have suspicions however, that will be the case.
Imma need some serious good vibes, ju-ju, prayers, baby dust, ANYTHING yall can throw my way for the next few months!
Doesn't seem like there have been any new donors added lately...but maybe Mr. Right is hiding out somewhere you haven't looked!
When are you scheduled to start your next cycle?
I've been looking at CCB but feel like we would be settling if we chose a donor here. My search is pretty specific and there aren't many to choose from. I've got about 2 1/2 weeks till my next day 1. I'm hoping that cycle will be a go so we can get the ball rolling again.
How's Tommie doing?
Have you found other banks you like? We found that other banks had much less of a selection and seemed shady some how or another. What's exactly are you looking for?
We haven't firmed up our decision on another donor but I believe we'll be going to a different bank, the same bank that is also recommended by my RE office. We'll have to decide quick if I'm able to move forward this cycle! We've just given in to what will be will be...
