Hey good luck on your IUI this Friday. I hope it does it this time! I am also on Clomid (second cycle) 100 mg for cycle day 5-9...I am on CD 7 today...two more days, and I have a doc appointment to test my FSH levels on Friday cycle day 9. I too have been depressed lately, this is the hardest thing to go through. I even started searching adoption websites this week. But I have a inkling of faith. Since I am doing the clomid challenge test, I am extra nervous that my FSH levels won't be good on Friday and that they will send me right to Invitro. So I am there with you with all the stress.

I'm having my iui the end of next week. So I'm about a week off from you. My story is I had my 1st IUI in April and got pg with twin after 28 months of ttc. But I lost them at 8 weeks 1 day. I got an explantaion for why but it doesn't help how I feel. I had an IUI last month but it didn't work. But my Dr says since I got pg so easily with the first one that there is no reason why it shouldn't work this time. I also take 50mg of clomid days 3-7. Why did they change the days that you take it on? Good luck with the IUI on Friday. Baby dust ...

Hi SashaP, I am sorry to hear about your ordeal. I got pg April 05 without any issues but m/c around 8-9 weeks they called it a blighted ovum. It just never developed. So sad. Haven't been able to get pg since. I had a cyst on my right ovary in November and polyp removed in May. First IUI in Aug but nothing. After my period started last month there was some leftover follicles so I didn't start the clomid until the cysts decreased in size. according to the Dr they did and started a few days later. Just had my IUI today, I think it went ok a little more sensitive this time around (have a tipped uterus). My Dh's count was good but about 80 million less than last month. We may try again tomorrow just in case. I really want this to be over - I am sick and tired of bloodwork, u/s and pills... Maybe this is it!!

I hope this time works for you. I'm sorry to hear about your m/c. It does suck having to plan your life around this. What cd are you on right now? I'm only on cd 8. So I guess it will be another 4-5 days till I have a surge. Keep me updated.

Any symptoms yet? I have my IUI at the end of this week. I have my fingers crossed for you.

Thanks for asking Sasha! Not feeling too much. I am taking my pg test on Sept 22nd. It seems so far along! Thank goodness for my best friends wedding this weekend to keep my mind off things. When is your IUI?

Well it's still early for you. It's only 7 dpiui right? I have my IUI today. I'm a little confused I took an opk yesterday at 5:30 & 7:00am both very +. I took two to make sure I wasn't seeing things. Then I took another 1 at 6:30 this morning at it was still +. I've never had a surge last more then 24hrs. I haven't had many cramps yet but plenty of ewcm sorry tmi. But I guess I'll just have to ask the Dr today. Are you going to be part of your friends wedding party? I hope you have a good time and take your mind off of things. Baby dust.....

Hope your IUI goes good today. I am very glad I found this forum and know I am not alone. I had mine done on 9/1/06 and was instructed to test today. I did, and it was negative. I was very disappointed. I called the Dr's office to tell them the news and was instructed to test again on day 32-which would be 9/21. I really feel like i could get my period any second and almost just wish it would come. I have no pregnancy symptoms at all. I had heard that my period may not start until i take progesterone? Any one else go through this? I would've never imagined I would ever have any problems getting pregant, and here I am, absolutely stressing over the whole situation. We have been TTC for about a year now. I will be 32 on 9/21 and my clock is ticking!!!!

Hi Dani! My IUI went ok it was painful like the last time but not quite as bad. But I actually have a good feeling about this one. Try not to stress out to much, easier said then done. I'm trying to stay very calm despite losing my grandmother last night. You still may be testing to early I didn't get my bfp until 15 dpiui. Do you normally have to have progestrone to start af? I hope you get your bfp.

Sorry I have been away... My friend's wedding was great - a lot of fun! I snuck in a sip of champagne. I am dying to take my preg test on Friday (bloodwork). I was pretty busy last week, not as much this week so the next 4 days are going to be rough. I did actually have some spotting last week for about 4 days. Not very heavy but had to wear something. My nurse seems to be cautiously optimistic. It is so hard for me to think it will happen since it has been over almost 1.5 years since I was first pregnant. I did get some headaches this weekend and my nipples are soar but I think it is from the progesterone suppositories. We will see...

HI LAdies - should I take a home pregnancy test before I go for bloodwork on Friday. I don't want to jinx anything but not sure if I will get a false positive since I had the HCG shot.

How many days has it been since the HCG shot? If it's been over 10 then your all set. I like to take a test before I go to the Dr's b/c it is what it is and I don't like getting my hopes up and having them tell me neg. so I would. It sounds like your having really good symptoms though. I hope you get your BFP!! Keep us updated.

Sasha - The trigger shot was done on Sept 6th. I guess that's well over 10 days. I am sooo nervous to try but maybe I will take an hpt test maybe Thursday morning but I don't know how I will react. I hope these are symptoms but I honestly don't think so. I bled right after she was done with the catherer with my IUI. Last week I was spotting right around 5or 6 after IUI which sounds like implantation but I am just to hopeless since I am not feeling pregant like I did April 2005. I knew it for sure but I guess there is slight hope! I just can't wait till Friday! I am sooo busy at work during the day so I don't think about it as much but when I drive or I am at home I certainly think about it even more!! I am keeping my fingers crossed.

I'm sorry you feel that way! But it's not over till the witch shows!! I'm having a few symptoms like cramping above my pubic bone and I'm tired I had both the last time around the same time but I'm trying not to get my hopes up. Did you have implantation bleeding the last time? I didn't have any. Gotta run, tons of baby dust...

Did anybody test today?

I took a HPT at 4am this morning and it was negative. I kind of felt like my AF was coming last night. I did still go to get my blood drawn and will probably get the bad news after lunch. I am just soooooo sad!!!
