    Thanks ladies! I have been listening to fertility meditations on youtube to promote relaxation and fertility. Might help you get through your tww! I trigger tonight and have my IUI Sunday and then I will be in the 2ww with you all! Take care <3

    My IUI went well! Now onto the 2ww. Any ideas for how to get through it? I am going to try filling up my social calendar. I test on July 7th :) Good luck everyone!

    I am glad that your IUI went well! :)

    Keep yourself as busy and relaxed as possible! I was okay the first few days and then after that it became tough. It was just in time for my weekend camping trip with my husband which really helped. Now I am back home and finding it hard again! I wish you the best of luck!!!

    Nblondheim-only 4 more days til Friday when you get to find out! I am so excited for you. Do you have any symptoms? Is Friday a hpt day or beta day? Can't wait to hear your results!
  • nblondheimnblondheim Posts: 85
    Now only 3! :)

    I'm glad you're sharing my excitement! I had my progesterone level checked yesterday and they said it was awesome at 24.5. I truly don't even know what it's supposed to be!

    Symptoms: tired, breasts seem bigger and are getting more sensitive, emotional although that has diminished, some discharge which I read is a good sign, and I can't seem to get enough water

    Friday is a beta day. I haven't done any hpt!

    Hey ladies,
    I'm still here but I failed miserably. I tested last night and this morning knowing good and well that it was gonna be negative. So now I making myself wait until Friday. Haha we'll see how that turns out. Been having some af type symptoms but then again it's not really in the pelvic regions so I don't know what's going on. CM is thick and creamy but they say when it's time for af that is should be almost nonexistent. But then you read somewhere else and it says something completely different. So you know what I'm just gonna wait to see which one comes first af or Friday.

    God Bless and Baby Dust!!!!

    Hope all is well with you ladies! Nothing new to report here.

    Nblondheim and highlyfavored, sounds like you have some promising symptoms. I don't think I will be able to tell a symptom from a non-symptom taking this progesterone during the tww. It's making me feel pregnant already. Can't wait to hear the both of your test results. Hwhit, when is your test scheduled for?
  • nblondheimnblondheim Posts: 85
    Highlyfavored: That is a complete bummer that it was negative. I absolutely refused to test early because I didn't want it to be negative or positive and then be wrong!! :( I am hoping Friday brings you better news. I hate that you read one thing and read the opposite. That happens to me a lot!!!

    Hwhit: Nothing new is sometimes good too! :)

    GratitudeAndLove: I really fell very optimistic and hopeful for tomorrow!!! It is truly hard to tell a symptom from a non-symptom but some of them are hard to miss!!! :)

    Fx'd GratituteAndLove I sue hope they are promising. I will be poas in the morning. If it is still negative then I will go but a FRER test so that it will give me a better idea of what to expect. On one of the boards based on my input it says test on the 4th of July. No way I can wait that long...lol

    I'm doing good I haven't poas since Tuesday morning. But I have been checking my cm and temping which it's kind of late to be temping plus they say that is not a good way to predict pregnancy either. Oh well so many mixed messages.

    nblondheim I knew it was going to be negative I just had to get it out of my system...lol Just need to give up on trying to keep up with these symptoms. We I get home from work tomorrow we should know the results of your test.

    God Bless and Baby Dust to us all!!!!

    How did the pregnancy tests go today? Thinking of you ladies!
  • nblondheimnblondheim Posts: 85
    I don't go until late this afternoon... I will share any news as soon as I know! :)
  • highlyfavoredhighlyfavored Posts: 61
    Well ladies I tested this morning and go a B-F----N which is not surprising. I am only 13dpiui. I had my iui Saturday before last and don't really know when I o'd. One board suggest waiting until 16-18dpiui which would mean testing Monday or Wednesday. I think I'll wait until Monday since I had o pain on Tuesday the 18th maybe I o'd then. AF is due Sunday if I am on a 28day cycle but with clomid you never know which day she will skate in on...lol

    God Bless and Baby Dust to you nblondheim!!!

    Highlyfavored, do you have a blood pregnancy test scheduled?
  • nblondheimnblondheim Posts: 85
    It was quite a day with them refusing to call me with the results of my test. After some pushing, I was able to talk to a nurse who informed me that...

    I'M PREGNANT!!!

    I am soooo very excited and truly feels very surreal right now!

    Thank you to each and every one of you for the sticky baby dust, well wishes, thoughts, prayers, and advice! It is appreciated more than I can put into words!

    Congrats Nblond!!!!! That's fantastic!! :)) Was this your first IUI?
  • nblondheimnblondheim Posts: 85
    Thank you very much dranflinurse! I appreciate it! Yes this was a first one! :)
  • highlyfavoredhighlyfavored Posts: 61
    CONGRATULATIONS!!!! nblondheim!!!

    dragonflinurse... no I don't have one scheduled. My doctor's ofc is only open half a day on Fridays. Plus like I said the iui was done on Saturday before last with no triggers or anything like it, so which day I o'd is still a mystery. May have done the iui too soon or maybe I'm testing too soon or maybe this is just not my month. Only had 1 mature follicle (even though I know it only takes one) but everybody may have missed each other.

    With nblondheim's GREAT NEWS it's making me want to go buy a FRER tonight and retest in the morning. But I think I'm just gonna wait to see if ole AF shows up. Don't like disappointments!!!

    But again CONGRATULATIONS HAVE A HEALTHY & HAPPY 9

    Hi ladies! Any new updates? Did you take another hpt highlyfavored? I did my progesterone test today and will get those results this afternoon. I am taking my hpt this Sunday and going in for blood pregnancy test the day after!!! So excited and hoping its a positive :)

    No I didn't do another test. All of the symptoms started feeling like AF symptoms and guess what they were. So I'm on cd1 starting today. Called the doc and advised her that I think we did the IUI too early. She agrees b/c I told her I felt I had ov cramps that Tuesday. So this time I'll go in on a Friday to check my follies then possibly do a trigger so that we can know more closely when the egg releases and catch that lil joker.

    I'm going to try to keep up with my temps and things and see if I can pinpoint things a little better. May even go out and buy an OPK.

    God Bless and Baby Dust to you!!! Hope everything goes well.
  • GratitudeAndLoveGratitudeAndLove Posts: 21
    So sorry to hear highlyfavored! This can be a frustrating process and an emotional rollercoaster. Hoping this next cycle is the one for you!
  • GratitudeAndLoveGratitudeAndLove Posts: 21
    Yayy! My RE called. My progesterone level was 23.9 which they said means I ovulated and im at the correct dosage of progesterone. They said they like anywhere between 10-20 and above 20 is a "bonus." They said this indicates I have enough progesterone in my body to support a pregnancy :) So happy this worked to help me ovulate as I have PCOS! :) :) :) Thinking of you ladies.
  • nblondheimnblondheim Posts: 85
    I am sooo very sorry highlyfavored! *Hugs*

    GratitudeAndLove that is great!!! Good for you!!!! :)

    My HCG was 134 on Friday and Monday it was 783! My progesterone was 71 on Friday and 71.8 on Monday. I got back again for labs tomorrow too!

    Thx nblondheim... it's ok I talked to my doctor and we both think we were early with the iui. So we may use a trigger shot next time. U/S is scheduled for the 12th but my doc won't be available on Saturday so we may have to do the iui on Sunday this time. That is if the follies are on the right side and not the left this month.

    So good to hear that everything is going well with you. Many blessings and wishes that all continues to go well. Those numbers look great.

    Gratitude... hope everything goes your way!!!

    God Bless and Baby Dust!!!!

    We were too early with last IUI but feeling positive with this new cycle. Specimen looked great and IUIs went well.
