can't wait to hear how your goes. Have a wonderful Holiday.
Lisa and Becky
What donor are you using? Have you spoken to CCB about it? That' seems way to low to me! But you're right... it only takes ONE
I hope everything turns out well. We're just taking one day at a time. We have to wait for my wife to get her period again but we also have to pick a donor. It is really hard this time. It's so funny but we did look at 14365 awhile back and he's sold out lol. Merry Christmas!
@Lex07 I think you your count should def be higher. I hope everything goes well for you and your wife. Merry Christmas!
is rough getting that news when you are inseminating and we lose all the doctors fees. anyway, trying to remain positive.
Thanks ladies.
keep us posted @firsttimetxmoms!
I'll post tomorrow.
@Lex07 Any news. When do you test?
How are you doing @Lex07? Should be almost time to test for you!
another no BFP. We will keep trying. My wife is very sad, she is getting pretty down and losing hope. I am trying to keep the faith. it is so difficult to navigate all this.
Thanks Ans17 and Firsttimetxmoms for checking.
Here is to 2017!
I guess the most frustrating thing is that all of the tests we've done NOTHING is wrong... it's just not happening with us for some reason.
Surprisingly enough, I was sad, but not too sad this time... I think I just expected it. There were NO tears... which is definitely a first.
this was our 4th. and i am not kidding every time the sperm was below standards. Its so frustrating because her follicles look so good. I am still feeling good about it, it takes time, and getting the exact time of the egg dropping is difficult.
my wife said she has a few more tries and then we are going to regroup also. Our stories are similar. Stay strong! We will try too also.
Lex02 CCB should be providing sperm with at least 10 million after wash. It really does make a difference. Has your donor had pregnancies?
It has been really awesome talking to you both. Our stories are different but we're all just trying to have babies. My wife just had her blood done and she tested at 17 HCG so were just waiting for it to hit 0 so AF comes and we can get started again. I will say this was the worst holiday we had. It was really sad losing our baby girl and being around family that are pregnant and one that just had a baby. We're just trying to take one day at a time and hope our next IUI doesn't just take but she can carry the pregnancy. Hope 2017 is a new beginning for us all.

We did the first 4 IUI's with my OB/Gyn. Then switched over to Houston Fertility Specialist. We sat and spoke with the RE and came up with a plan to do 2 or 3 IUI's, obviously with the intent of it taking. If it does not take, we will sit down again and talk about other options. I'm sure IVF will be in that discussion. I'm just hoping that maybe this next time is the one!
We will be moving to a new townhouse right in the middle of the TWW. We're hiring movers so I can take it easy... I don't want ANYTHING messing up our chances for implantation.
I can't imagine going through what you guys have. It's hard enough when my friends are getting pregnant around me... I of course am happy for them, but it's so hard to smile sometimes because I want that SO badly. My friend actually just gave birth yesterday and it made me kind of sad.
One day at a time, ladies... One day at a time.
Things have been better with Femara. I go in for my follicle scan tomorrow morning. I'll let you guys know how things are looking.
How was the follicle scan? Are you thinking at this point you would want multiples?
Symptoms that I am experiencing was/are:
-Cramping
-Lower back pain
-Nausea
-Flu/cold like symptoms : sneezing, fever, sore throat
-Dizziness
-EXTREMELY tired : feel like it just happens so fast
-Bloating/gas
-Frequent Urination
-Breast tenderness
Has anyone else experienced these symptoms? One more week then this TWW will be over! Baby dust!!!
@Kim what happened with the follicle scan?
We finally got AF this weekend so we can begin a new cycle. The Dr always starts seeing us at Day 2 so it should be interesting. Hope everyone is having a nice weekend.
@WestFamBam, those sound like good symptoms, but only being a week in, could still be the trigger. Fingers crossed for you.
@ans17 Glad you guys are finally able to get started again. Hope everything goes smoothly and that this is OUR month!
-Kim
@ans17 - Great news!! Good luck with the process this month! Please keep us posted! Tons of baby dust!!!
@Kim - Wishing you the best news on Wednesday!
Ladies, hoping we all get that BFP!! Baby dust for us all!! :)
@WestFamBam when will you guys test? I hope this is our month.
@ShalDr1234 I hope it works this time for you guys.
As for us we have to go back Thursday day 5 for some saline ultrasound to make sure my wife is clear so we can go for our first IUI after the miscarriage. It really is a draining process. We decided we aren't telling anyone this time after what happens. So you ladies are in the inner circle. Best of luck to everyone.
I am anxious to hear what he has to say in the morning. I'll have an answer by 9:30ish.
@WestFamBam did you have a trigger shot because that can also change your results. We never had the trigger and I will say we tested positive three days before my wife the period. I would buy one of those tests where you can test early. Good luck!
As for us we went to the Dr today and saline ultrasound. I can't remember the fancy name but good news there is no scar tissue and everything is out after our miscarriage so we can def try again this cycle. We're nervous but one day at a time.
