3dpiui...

Okay so its 3 days since IUI and I POAS tonight to see if I still had HCG in my system. Only got one line. This seems early since I have read (somewhere) online that it can take up to 10 days. I guess its not that bad since its 5 days from the trigger. I keep forgetting to take my second dose of the progesterone suppositories. Tonight I finally got in my second dose. I am worried that this cycle is not going to work due to my stress level again. It seems that all hell always breaks loose the week of my IUI. It NEVER fails. So looks like I am almost one week down of my 2ww. (at least the way i am thinking bc I usually get AF day 9 or 10dpiui, so that would be next thursday/friday spotting). So next friday we'll see if AF rears her ugly head.
xoxoxo

2nd day of IUI

So IUI #2 of #4 was completed today. 20 million with 98%motility. yesterday was 15 million with 97% motility.. and only one follie. Hopefully this will be enough. I did the Ovidrel trigger at 6:15Pm. Also I should note that I might have messed up the last cycle b/c I took my ovidrel and another dose of Folistim the night before the IUI. This time when I received my phone call I asked if I was suppose to do my Ovidrel and my Follistim or just my Ovidrel. The nurse was very nice and was like "Noooooo, only the Ovidrel". So I am guessing that this was a No-No. So this time I only did the Ovidrel. LOL.
I test on August 5th so I am officially in the 2ww. I also was wondering if the Ovidrel even worked in me and wondered what a BFP looked like so tonight I came home and POAS and it didnt change for like EVER. I threw it away, came back and happened to look at it and it was BFP. So for whatever it was worth it made me happy to know at least my body is capable of carrying any amount of HCG. I know this sounds crazy but it makes me feel better for some reason.

4th IUI scheduled for tomorrow

Okay so I have been so busy that I have not been able to log on to update my page.
IUI #4 is scheduled for tomorrow morning. We did 58.3 of Follistim this time. Only one egg on the left side. Drop off is in the a.m at 8 and then we have to be back at 9 for insemination. We will do Monday and Tuesday back to back.
other updates: I am all moved in to my new office. YAY !!! The oven and refrigerator both were fixed last week but the air conditioning is NOT fixed and the house feels like hell. Also the washer machine broke so I scheduled a maintenance call.. of course he cant come out until next friday. GRRRR

AF in full force

Okay so AF in full force. Called dr's office and I have an appt for tomorrow at 8:15 to do baseline (blood work and ultrasound). I think that we might do this cycle on our own and pick up again next month since I would have to pay for the medicine out of pocket. Was thinking that I could work out at the gym this month and pamper myself and then get back on the horse next month. I mean whats 4 weeks of trying on my own... i mean I do have leftover clomid so maybe I will still take that days 3-7 and then BD over the next week after and just see what happens.... would appreciate anyone's thougts on this. ohhh, also i know two girls that went to a clinic in annapolis, Md. it guarantees or money back.. both got pregnant. The one lady i know has also been trying for years. I love my clinic though and really dont think I should make a change just yet... I've only been there since October and this was only my 3rd iui. Again.. any advice welcome.

9 dpiui and spotting

So the 9th was 9 days past IUI and I started spotting, on the 10th it lightened up but by today day 11dpiui I'm at full flow. I called the dr's office and awaiting the baseline appointment. I haven't reached the sad stage yet... still angry. Not sure if I'm going to do this cycle or not as my cobra benefits are not active so I dont even know if I can afford the medication at this point. Waiting until the doctor calls me back. =(

8dpiui and Sharp Pains

So last night I had sharp stabbing pains in my right side. It came suddenly lasted about 10-15 seconds each time and then passed. Some pain on my left but not as sharp. This is not cramping like normal (for me). tonight I also had more sharp pains, didnt want to bother my RE so i called my referring OBGYN. I got the no call doctor who was not helpful she told me to wait until tomorrow and the thought of a tubal rupture came to mind. So kinda nervous b/c I know my tubes are not completely "open". Also i went to fill my script of the prometrium and discovered that my last employer already terminated my insurance so that really pissed me off b/c i thought that I would have had until July 30th. Also waiting for the 10th because that will be 10 days from IUI and usually I start spotting so anxious to see if I will get AF this cycle too. Keeping the faith until then... and gonna call the doctors tomorrow =)

A Relaxing Sunday

So our A/C, oven and refrigerator all broke this week. We've had repair people out and apparently all the parts will be under warranty however, we have to wait until the parts come in for each to be fully repaired. We purchased fans for the bedroom but the rest of the house is horribly hot. I didnt want to purchase too many b/c I think its just a waste of money if it gets repaired on Monday. (hopefully). DH and I spent time together on friday and then we went out with some of my girlfriends for one of my friends birthday. It was really nice.. of course i was DD but that was okay it was just nice to be out and spending time with friends. The rest of my weekend ws spent cleaning and relaxing. As far as physically I cant really complain. My breasts are super super tender, CM seems to have lightened up. Some cramping and I'm tired but overall nothing out of the norm since I'm taking Prometrium.
Monday is our first year anniversary so I am excited about that !!!! and then 8 more days until my first beta. I think I might really want until the test and NOT poas. We'll see. I just dont know if I can take seeing only one line again.
Hope everyone else also had a fun and relaxing weekend.

Another Day...

So today was my last day at work.. at least full time. Since I oversee 8 companies they are having a hard time transitioning my job duties to others so I said if they needed help I would go back from time to time as needed. My staff had a luncheon yesterday and today for me and it was really nice. I got flowers and cards and it really was very touching to hear how I impacted some of them on a personal level. It was humbling and satisfying... I will miss them much. but the job LITTLE. it was more stressful then hostage negotiations and probably as painful.
DH: getting on my nerves. We havent really spent any time together this week and I guess with hormones and feeling insecure with the job change and baby stuff and... did I say hormones.. well if I was a praying mantis i would've bit his head off. GRRRRR
As for me.. doing okay. Breasts still tender.. more CM (sorry TMI).. sometimes have to wonder if I'm gonna bleed but then nope just CM. Other then that nothing to report. I really have been so busy I havent been able to agonize over it. Taking Prometrium 200 mg 2x's a day to keep up P4 level. It hasnt given me any horrible side effects (minus the breasts and a good nights sleep).
Will report more over the weekend. Hope everyone has a Wonderful 4th. Baby dust to all..

Day 1 of 2ww

Today I was swamped at work so i really was not able to have my mind drift off into pregnancy abyss. Took 200 mg of Prometrium last night ( I hate the suppositories). Breasts are slightly tender but nothing too noticeable. Tummy is also tender. No cramping. Kinda odd since I had cramping with my first two. In fact, I feel fine and like... nothing happened. Which is kind of okay as I am trying to relax this 2ww. I studied and worked on school work tonight. I officially have 2 weeks from today until the beta so I will try to stay sane until then. Thanks for the comments bigmouthmom & Amy. It nice to know someone is out there. Wishing you both many blessings.
