Tommie - I keep up today on your guys blog and when we text back and forth. Wooty!
Mgalbn - You'l get a positive. My wife and I just did our first IUI this past Sunday and we keep thinking positive thoughts. Tomi is tired of me rubbing on her belly and saying "mix babies mix and latch on!" As I've told her, I can't go through the stuff she is going through the same way, but by god I'll give my words of encouragement to our little swimmers!
I hope you get a BFP this time around! If all goes well, we'll both be having August babies!
You keep up those encouraging words Tomi, the swimmers hear ya!!! I hope my cycle is a go and we both have August babies too!!! Peridot is a beautiful jem...
Hopefully you'll get your monthly visitor tomorrow! My fingers are crossed for ya.
We have been testing, and finally know for sure the hCg is out of her system. We are now just waiting for that negative to switch to a positive.
I mentioned my blog before, you're more than happy to read it. It's at http://2mommies4me.wordpress.com
Have a good one!
Natalie, no, I've never been checked. Would they show up on an u/s? The spotting stopped again so day 1 is a no go, maybe tomorrow, I'm not holding my breath. This is very unusual for me. I don't drag it out like this, it's a first. My periods are normally fairly regular. Sometimes they're a little late but usually only by a few days. As I type I feel lefty getting warmer so it's spittin out some kind of hormone I'm sure. I'm hoping for tomorrow.
How many polyps did she have removed?
It is unusual to spot then not and etc. It's something worth checking into anyways. I would call the Dr's office and explain that you haven't started yet, but your HPT comes back negative but you would like it if they would do some blood work to confirm.
Same injectables, same schedule but a slightly lower dose of follistim since I jumped the gun last time. I'll still be taking the ganirelix to hold back my ovulation. I have a strong reaction to the follistim (9 follies last time) so we're going a little slower this time. I'm hoping for 4 or 5 really good sized ones this cycle. My first shots start tonight! Man, I hate injecting myself... it's creepy. Hope I never get da betus that's insulin dependant!!! Lefty warmed up after the first dose of clomid already. I'm sure he'll be in overdrive after my shot tonight!
Thanks for the baby dust Natalie! Tomi, how's it going? So far, so good??
Good luck and I hope everything is good to go for you guys. We had AF show up too, so it is a big negative for us as well.
Did you decide to stay with CCB or did you go to Fairfax for your donor?
We are waiting for the Dr's office to call us back to get us started on the new set of meds for this cycle. This cycle means that we will be finding out the fate of our future around Christmas and hopefully we'll have a nice Christmas present, the same goes for you. Hopefully the 4 of us will be bringing in the new year with a little extra set of feet coming into the world!
I go thru my RE's mail order, it was the cheapest price I could find and the most convenient. They ship it to my local pharmacy for me to pick up (due to the refrigeration & I didn't want it left on my porch) I believe they use Walgreen's Specialty Pharmacy.
Appointment went GREAT! I've got 6 follies that are great size on cd8. Yay! AND my lining was thicker compared to cd8 last try. I go back on Saturday for another u/s and bloodwork. Won't know today's b/w results till tomorrow but I must be ok because they never called me to change anything. I hope they're @ 20mm by next appointment! Keeping my fingers crossed for the best odds!!!
Yes, I think all 4 of us are going to get THE best Christmas news/present this year!!!!
Have you ever had great lining and great follies at the same time????
Why are they doing so many US? To monitor how much or how little drugs they need to give you? Do you know when about you will inseminate? Trigger?
We are so excited for you! FINGERS/TOES/ARMS/LEGS crossed for ya'll!
We have an appointment for next Wednesday with the RE for our US to find out the size of the follies. Our RE did change things up a little bit this month, instead of taking the injections for 6 days .. he has taking them for 7 days. I am hoping that having an extra day of injections will make a world of difference. We go through Wal-greens as well. If the local pharmacy orders, you get one hell of a discount if you have the Wal-Greens prescriptions savings plan. For example, our injectins for the Menopur (we pay out of pocket), ran us $750 (roughly) this past cycle ... with the savings plan, we saved over $250!!! A huge difference and the great thing is that the savings plan only costs $20 a year! That has been the best $20 investment I have ever made!!!
I FEEL CONFIDENT TOO about our Christmas present!
Fingers CROSSED!!
If all goes well next Wednesday, we will be doing our TWW HPT on Christmas day!!!!!!
RE told me they do 3 or sometimes 4 u/s with injectables to keep a close eye on they progress. I'm glad they do, it's mini check ups on my follies! And to answer your question, I've had great sized follies and great lining EVERY time. It just hasn't happened for us yet...
I've got the Walgreens savings plan too... it's been soooo worth the $20 for discounts on the things I've had to pay for out of pocket (my insurance has been covering most, but not all)
You could have all 6 grow just fine - atleast 5 days left right? And does your injectables help with the lining? I know Bravelle was really good at helping keep the lining nice and thick.
Best of luck on the back to back IUI's. I know you are anxious to find out the results of this one. If we don't hear from you, we definitely understand wanting to stay as stress free as possible. A little hard to do sometimes around the holidays, cause you always feel rushed!
