Fall Follies Update 8/30

[bhoban]

Gachick - I had my BFPs on IUI #1 & IUI #4, so there is hope for multiple IUIers. Sadly both ended in m/c, though.

Anyone out there who has already given up for the month: Every time I got a BFP (including the one where I had my DS) I thought it definitly "wasn't the month". You never know, so don't give up hope completely!

Well, I finally made it in for my blood work. 2 pokes in the arm & 9 tubes of blood later, I was out the door. I told the lab tech that I didn't mind giving all that blood up if it gave me the answers I was looking for, or gave me the peace of mind in knowing there weren't any issues there. I am making hubby go in for his next week -- of course he only needs to give 1 tube of blood. Isn't that the way most tests go? They said within 2 weeks I should have the results back.

Today is cd9 for me. I just use OPKs to determine ovulation, so I will probably be able to start POAS on Monday & will probably have my IUI Friday. It will be good to see a +, even if it is just on a OPK.

Smileygal - What day is your HSG scheduled for next week? Good luck! I am sure it will be fine!

I had my hsg Thursday am. Of course, it was after working 12 hours overnight. It didn't hurt too bad, but was a little more painful than expected. The nurse asked me if I took a pain pill and antibiotic that morning. I said, no noone had told me to. So, of course, then I had to fill the script and take it within 2-3 hours of hsg. The nurse told me that everything looked great, no blockages here. I hate to say it, but I was almost hoping that there was something they found because that would at least give me a reason for why we are having so much trouble. I go for midcycle u/s Monday, cd10. Hopefully we get some good news this month and are able to go ahead with the IUI. Baby dust to all!!!

I have no idea what is up with me this month!!! Soooooooo emotional...all I want to do is cry...I have all this anxiety, which I know is NOT good for this week's dr. visits...I have been trying to relax, trust my new dr., and praying/tearing up daily....I have never felt this hopeless and just like everything is already a BUST.....trying to let everything go and take its course....and I so don't even want to be at work!!! UGH!!!!!!
Anyone else having a cycle like this....u/s is Thurs. and should get HCG, IUIs will be Fri. and Sat......we hope Fertility Blend will make a difference....we are hoping to see positive numbers!!!!!

Well, I finally got some good news today. I told the nurse about my vision issues and she said that the RE would not want me to take clomid anymore, so if this cycle doesn't work, we will have to sit down and figure out where to go from here. I hoping it doesn't come to that as I had some good follies today. I had a HUGE one again at 30, then one at 20 and one at 17. The nurse said that it wasn't too big this time as they know it isn't a cyst from my screening u/s. So she gave me the hcg before I left and IUI will be tomorrow am at 1030. I really do have a good feeling about this month. Baby dust to all!!!!

It should be here today judging by what my body is telling me. I am still on Prometrium 3x's per day so that could be keeping her away too! Please let me know how everyone is doing.. LiaNyla
