Alright ladies....here we go again. Who's with me?

[DandJ06]

I am here. Just got medically cleared last week and I even have a baseline date. January 11th. How are you doing adb13?

[adb613]

Hey! I am doing good. Leslie called me yesterday to pay so I guess I need to get on that. :-) Hoping this cycle has more positives than last.

hi ladies,
Dand...sorry to hear about the last IUI Are you doing another one in Nov? Leslie called me a long time ago. I must of been 1 of the
1st one's she called. I didn't mention me doing the IUI to her cuz I was still uncertain. I had just went to see my ob/gyn & was waiting on a referal to Navy Hospital (which fell through anyways) when she called. Then Dr. C called me to answer some questions about IUI & I told him Leslie called & said I was clear & he repeated back to me "she said you were already clear?" Anyways, I'm going to be doing a IUI here in the middle of Nov then I might or preferably might not be seeing you ladies in Jan.. I wiped today & saw the tinest 2-3 spots of red. Which means I'm starting AF.. Now Dand, do I count this as day 1? Even if it doesn't really pick up to much...Also, my clomid says to take day 3-7...is that what yours said too? I read & had a nurse at the Navy hospital say to me "are you sure its til day 7 & not day 9?" I said, yes...I'm reading off the bottle it says day 7...I'll keep you all posted & you do the same too..I'm thinking this time around has to be better then the last!?!?!?

Good luck heh.

Lisa- Yes I am getting ready for my November IUI next week. I really don't count spotting as AF. I usually count when AF is flowing as day 1. So you will have your IUI next week as well?

juls024 -

Yes, you do need to pay full price each cycle you do. I wish repeaters got a discount, that would be great. I won't complain though, it's still half as expensive as going to a civi doctor.

WELL, I don't know when exactly I'm having my IUI now. I'm going to Bethesda tomorrow (Mon). Dr. Yeager wants to do lab work & scan me. AF decided not to show..Well, she spotted Nov 1st,2nd,3rd but, just barely spotting as in not even wearing a pantyliner.

She told me not to start clomid on day 3 like I was suppose to. She said when she scans me if everything looks nice & quite she will prolly let me start clomid. I'm not sure whats going on...Is anyone else's Af messed up after IVF in July? My neg was Aug 12th then I bleed really heavy on Aug 13th. Then Sept, I started spotting light right on time around Sept 12th or so..Now Oct, is when it got tricky..Oct 3rd started spotting (which I thought was ovulation but, when I went & had my consult w/ Dr Yeager on Oct 12th I was still spotting) No Joke!!! I went from the 3rd-12th. It was like a ovulation & AF all at once. Now, in Nov I assumed the 1st-3rd of Nov was ovulation cuz I was barley spotting again.. But, who knows...It stopped after 3 days no pantyliner or anything...I was very crampy & very emotional during that time..Argggg!!!!

Lisa- I feel you on not having a regular period. I finally had a really productive period this cycle. After IVF my period was so scant, it was like a 1 day period and two days of spotting.

AFM- I am having my IUI this week.

Good day Ladies, this will be my first ivf cycle. I have been putting it off for 2yrs now. Tried iui about 2yrs ago and it was a no go. has anyone been to an orientation and can let me know what goes on there. Mine is 29Nov. I'm new to blogging and just being in a support group but i would love to be apart of this one. Since it sounds like we will all be in this together come the new year. have a great day.
