Good question anyone know the answer? Do me a favor go back to the IVF thread and ask Mega or some of the other girls. Mega by far has the most knowledge to all of this and more than likely she can answer your question.

Will do!

Hey! I'm starting to surge on my own this morning! It's not a full surge yet but it will be by the end of the day! So, I guess I should get the IUI first thing on Sunday morning?

Ok, so I'm a blonde....I was reading the stick backwards and it turns out that my surge line is actually darker than the control line which means I'm surging on my own! Which means no HCG shot and an IUI tomorrow morning! (Right?)

I talked to the nurse today. She wants to do the IUI tomorrow! Said I don't need a trigger if I already surged. (She said they only give the trigger to actually start your surge.) This timing might be perfect.....If I had a super faint line yesterday and a strong line today, it probably means that I surged last night....So if I get the IUI tomorrow morning, it should be about 36 hours after my surge. I have ovulation cramps right now, though.

Amy awesome news. I am so excited for you. I hope it works for you and with the trigger great!! I got my beta back it was 1700 from 849 2 days ago so thats good. Anyway today I could barely button my pants I feel like a humongous bloated blob. I had to change and put sweatpants on. Anyway I am going to pass out I am so tired I wanted to check in. What time tomorrow is the IUI??

My IUI was done this morning...Let the 2ww begin! You feel humongous already? At least it's a great time to be pregnant....Christmas dinners, cookies, etc.!

Oh! By the way....My husbands total motile count went from 13 million to 30! How cool is that?

Hey Amy how are you feeling? Does it hurt are you cramping? What do you expect with an IUI and how soon can you test for pregnancy. Oh this month you didnt take your hcg trigger so if you get a bfp early that you know what that is!! Yeah I feel really bloated I have no desire at all to eat any sweets which is completely unlike me. But I am really trying not to eat bad. Ocassionally is one thing but I sent my hubby to the store to get veggies, yogurt and fruit me to take to work. I just ate egg whites i was craving eggs I really dont eat meat at all so I have to try and get protein from eggs and stuff. Anyway congrats on hubbys count. Talk to ya.

Robyn there is a lot of zinc in eggs...Something a pregnant woman needs. Also, I'm sure you know this but sugar is not good for you when you're pregnant and a pregnant woman actually excretes glucose in her urine to keep the levels in check. Our bodies are amazing huh? My IUI was painful this time. I have a tilted uterus and the last two times, they went right to my uterus and were done. This time, the guy couldn't find it and he kept poking the catheder and I got sick to my stomach and almost threw up. He did it for about 5 minutes but it felt like a half hour! So I'm hoping he put it in the right place. The 2ww is on....I figured out that I will be about to test around Dec 28th. I'm not going to get worked up this month! (Yeah right.)

hello girls. its been busy in here. congrats robyn on your betas!!!!! how fun and what a great christmas for you!! are you asking for cute maternity clothes or stuff for the baby(babies)? do we know yet if there could be multiples? amy- bravelle is like follistim just a different maker. it was cheaper cause they were running a special. (same thing though) hey i spot mid cycle, but not every cycle. i'm not on any drugs this month and spotting tiny bits. who knows, i'm with you though and hormonally unbalanced slightly. i wasnt a gymnast but did diet and workout most of my teen and adult life. i'm 5'5 135lbs i think my body fat is like 24%. i didnt think yours was too low. they say that below 10% your menses will stop. (not good) anyways...good luck with you iui sounds like this month was timed perfect!! i'm on cd21 today i oed on cd17-18 one of them!!so i'll know right around the time you will. hopefully a great new year!!! boo- i'm doing well of my meds just spotting a little which is sorta normal for me every so often, i just figure if not this month then we are doing injectables and iui next month and that is already in the works. i should pay for it now i'd probably get pg this month if i did. (1200$)i'm so superstitious, i should really stop that!!! how are you feeling now? good luck to everyone!!

Hi Ladies, Are you all ready for Christmas? Robyn, your levels are brilliant, it's the scan Wednesday isn't it? Let us know what they say as soon as you get back, we are all exctied for you. Amy/Leah, good luck this month I hope you both get lucky with your BFP's. I'm currently on CD5, tummy had gone down a bit and feeling a lot more comfortable, hopefully that is a sign that the cysts are going or have gone. My doctors appointment is this Friday, I will be making sure I am referred to a new dr at the hospital. My dh's mother (she works at the hospital) told me she knows the dr which I am likely to be referred to and she said he is 'lovely' and really good at what he does. He helped her with gyny problems. Let me know as soon as you ladies have some news. I'm sending you lots of baby dust. xx

Hey girls Amy, MEGA responded to your question on the IVF thread she apologized for taking so long she doesnt really post much on the weekends. But she said the trigger is to make you ovulate. Boo and Leah I dont know how many are in there yet just hoping for one. One of the girls on my IVF thread just went for her 1st U/S and had really high betas and she thought for sure she was having twins and they only saw one today. So it prooves that beta levels really dont mean squat. As long as they double when they should. Yes the U/S is Wednesday and I promise weather good or bad news I will post. I honestly have been trying not to think about it I am just going with an open mind. Easier said then done. Anyway I have to go into work early and stay till 6am so I am ready to pass out and will try and take a quick power nap. I will check in later.

hello girls. thought i would check back. thanks for the well wishes boo. how are you feeling? did they say to start trying this cycle? what are your future plans with fertility treatments? amy_how are you feeling? what cd are you on? are you still spotting? i'm still spotting its been like 4staight days. its such a little bit that i might not notice it if i werent looking. i'm thinking about using my prog. suppositories starting tonight and see if that helps. i was going to try to do nothing, but i just keep thinking what if this helps me. does anyone know anything about alot of day of mid cycles spotting? like from the time you o on and off untill af? annoying....oh well hope all is well with everyone!!!goodnight

Hi Everyone, Robyn, good luck tomorrow. I will be checking in throughout the day to see if you post. (even with the time difference when you will more than likely be sleeping :-)) I have been watching a series on the tv about women ttc, last nights one was on IVF, I was thinking of you ,as the lady on there had a scan and they saw both eggs had taken and she was carrying twins...I think it was there 9th attempt or something like that. Good luck. Hi Leah, Have you had the spotting checked out? Has anyone told you why this might be happening? If not it miight be worth asking. hope you are well, and I will keep everyhting crossed for you. I am using a fertility monitor this month and temping for the first time as well. I see the dr Friday to try and get a referral to the Ob at the hospital who was recommended. I've been told he is very good. I feel positve this month. I've had a proper AF, not a one day cycle because the clomid was stopping it when taking the 1st tablet on day cd2. I'm happy to be off the meds this month, so I can see what happens for myself. Baby dust

Thanks Boo I promise I will post as soon as I know. Its at 945 am I am off work tonite I was able to be out sick leave so I will actually be up like a normal person tomorrow LOL
