    Thanks, cc2011! Hopefully this will be THE cycle for both of us! :-D

    Thank you for asking eeh! All is going really well. The baby is growing right on target and I should be entering my 2nd trimester this week;)

    As you can see, I still check in to see how things are going with everyone. Sending you and cc2011 lots of positive thoughts and baby dust! I want some BFP company;)

    I finally got the OK to trigger tomorrow from my doctor today. It only took 5 ultrasound and bloodwork visits, my poor veins. I have my 4th IUI scheduled for Friday, really hoping for a BFP this cycle. This is getting expensive. My doctor and I talked briefly of IVF and I may try to do that next cycle if this one doesn't work.

    Sibling, I'm sooo happy for you! If you didn't see, kaylababy is preggers too, so you have a little bit of company already! Yay!

    cc2011, good luck Friday! I am also feeling the strain on the pocketbook. I am so ready already! Unfortunately, IVF isn't covered at all for me, so its cheaper to try a few more cycles, especially since as of now, I have unexplained infertility (which just means they don't know why I'm on IUI 5 with no luck yet). I think it's just wonky timing so far.

    Of course, it doesn't matter, because my little monkey is implanting as we speak! And so will yours! ;-)

    None of this is covered for me, so IVF will be expensive, but I don't have much patience to keep trying.

    I had IUI #4 this morning and it looked good with a count of 17 million. I've been having O pains since mid yesterday and still do, so I'm hoping I didn't O too early, or maybe I was feeling the follicle grow rather than burst yesterday.

    eeh - How much longer until your beta test?
  • eeh876eeh876 Posts: 168
    I hear you, cc2011. I told myself I would never do anything as expensive as IVF, which would knock out all of my savings, but now... It's crazy how this all sucks you in. Now I just want it no matter what.

    Tuesday is when I am supposed to take an HPT and then call the doc if it is positive to set up a beta test in the lab. I've been super good and I haven't taken any tests yet. ;-) I might break down and take one tomorrow, though- one day early will be a new high for my willpower.

    Good luck cc2011! I'll keep you and sibling posted. :-)

    BFN. My period beat me to the opportunity to test. Sigh.

    This one was super hard to take, but we just keep on trucking, don't we? I've got my appt. for my clomid U/S all set up and ready to go. Just shake it off, right?

    cc2011, I hope you have better luck! And for me, well, it a new month, and a new opportunity. :-)

    eeh,

    I love your attitude!! So sorry it didn't happen for you this month. I keep telling myself that I will conceive the child I am meant to conceive at the time I am meant to conceive him/her. The same is true for you. It will happen when it's meant to happen. Keep up the great attitude.

    Thanks ladies!

    I needed your words of support today. I have had a LOT of friends get pregnant in the last few months, and today I found out that the first friend that started trying after me just got their positive test. That was rough, especially because I am happy for her and miserable for me, but I can only show her the positivity; I would feel horrible if I messed up such a special day for her. As it is she felt bad telling me so close to my BFN.

    I am so glad to have found this forum for us to be there for each other. You all make it easier for me to keep the best attitude I possibly can. Thank you all again.

    Awww, eeh, so sorry to read about AF coming. This is not an easy process to go through but you have the right attitude. ((((Hugs))))

    I will be a 2ww buddy as I am having my first IUI in the AM. My LH Surged this afternoon and I am seeing my doc in the AM.
  • eeh876eeh876 Posts: 168
    Halfway there, Ms M404! And AnissaS, very exciting!

    Fingers crossed for both of you. :-)
  • cc2011cc2011 Posts: 49
    I think I'm out this month :( I know it's generally too early to tell, but with being 10 DP IUI, feeling like I ovulated a day earlier than the doctor expected with trigger and getting a BFN this morning, it doesn't look good.

    I still have to wait for my blood test Friday, but I think I'll be on to my 5th cycle of trying.
  • eeh876eeh876 Posts: 168
    Sorry, cc2011! I'm going to keep my fingers and toes crossed for you until Friday, though.
  • cc2011cc2011 Posts: 49
    BFN :( Blood test confirmed and AF showed up today. On to another cycle....
  • eeh876eeh876 Posts: 168
    Dang it! Sorry, cc2011. I know its hard. But like you said, on to the next cycle.

    Much support and baby dust being sent your way for the next round!

    Hi all,
    I am new to this and did my first (and hopefully my last) IUI today. Now it is time to wait. Hoping the time goes my quickly.

    Anyone use donor 12724?
  • twin2twin2 Posts: 15
    today is my last day in the 2ww. I took my blood test this morning and will have the results this afternoon. I am so glad this part is almost over. I am a 43 year who tried IVF for the first time after 2 miscarriages, fibroid removal, etc.
  • eeh876eeh876 Posts: 168
    I head in today for my IUI. I had two nice and big follicles on Friday, so I am hopeful. :-)

    So actorres, I'll be on about the same wait as you! I recommend just keeping busy for these few weeks.

    twin2, how exciting! I am so hopeful for you! Good luck!
  • actorresactorres Posts: 10
    Good luck twin2 and eeh!

    Yay twin2!!!! How exciting! I am soooo happy for you!

    Hopefully actorres and I will be right behind you with the BFPs!
  • twin2twin2 Posts: 15
    Thanks eeh. I meant to say to actorres (not eeh)that I didn't use your donor. My donor was 12677. My RE wants to see me tomorrow for more blood work and then again Friday and I will have my first sono the end of next week. I will be excited to have you guys on board!

    Congrats twin!

    My cycle seems a bit wacky this time around. My temp is up higher than usual and my OPKs have a darkish (but not quite as dark as the control) second line I'm only CD8 I can't be nearly ready to ovulate already can I? My usual O day is CD13.

    I haven't posted on these boards in quite some time as really..what's there been to say. Have had 3 failed IUI's and 1 failed IVF and just in the tww from a second IVF..just had 3 embryo transferred inside of me yesterday morning..they weren't great embies..4-5 cell and so not feeling too hopeful. I only get one more shot with my insurance and really don't want to do this IVF again. Just wanted to touch base out there and I guess vent. Thanks.
  • eeh876eeh876 Posts: 168
    Sorry, Gracas- I know it's hard. I haven't done any IVF (my insurance doesn't cover that process), but I'm on IUI 6 now, and it gets frustrating, especially since the doc can't find any reason for it not to work. But I'm staying hopeful about this round, and I'm hopeful for you too!

    Glad to hear from you. Good luck!
