Hey ladies I am sorry I have been mia but I was rush to the hospital on Friday 3/20 because my dr thought it was my appendix turns out I have more fibroids and half of them are the size of plums and they had admited me to the hospital because I was in so much pain and my blood iron was real low they wanted to do a blood transfusion and a hysterocmy I told them I am checking myself out of the hospital and that I needed some time to think clearly because they had me heavily medicated I did go and see a new gyn and she told me she wanted to take things slow that the first step is to have a endometriss biospy and go from there. I will be having this done on April 9 and I will let you all know the results. Then I get a call from the RE nurse letting me know that they got all my lab results back and I have to take more blood test because my HTLV came back adnormal and this is an indication that I could have lekuimia and also I have traces of the anitibodies that cause m/c. I do have a questions have anyone had a endo biospy and if so can you please explain it to me. Krissy

JANET- BIG CONGRATS! see, iui is such a wonder, idk what is wrong with us (me & dh), truly, but the IUI is like a godsend, thank you Jesus for technology. have a happy and healthy 9 months! what a great way to get the ball rolling here, i think the lucky dust is working!

DEE DEE- hey girl. thanks for the warm welcome. you aren't crazy, i've been such a POAS addict, i've done it as early as 4dpo, probobly 3dpo at some point *blush*, you just CANT help yourself sometimes, i hope you stocked up on some cheapies. i finally did after too many months costing $100+ per mo. *double blush* lol. if i get a BFP again, this time i will pee on every brand, a zillion times, just to get my fix, cause likely would be my last time, and i wanna go out w/ a bang. i never got to see the word pregnant on a digital, THAT would be cool. i'm soo excited for you. your wait is sooner then mine, how are you feeling? are you nesting already? lol. hell, i'll pay you to come on over and help clean my house, i'm sooo bad with that, lol, thank God i got a great hubby, hehe, but seriously when can you arrive, i promise time will fly, lol. JK. keep yourself busy as much as humanly possible. at least i see you are much like me. certainly not gonna wait for that beta, lol. can't blame you, it just is impossible for me. maybe you could sleep for the next 5 days and a test MIGHT pick up something by then..actually you wrote this on the 4th, so, even less then that. 3 or 4 days, and it MIGHT show, but don't bank on that. do NOT get yourself discouraged, if you get a early BFN, like 9, 10 dpo, eventhough i've heard a million stories, and i do try myself to see if i could get one, i got mine on 12 dpiui and that was originally w/ twins. HANG ON, and if you wanna drive someone crazy, you can drive me crazy, i understand, and i don't mind:) GOOD LUCK, keeping, fingers, toes, and everything i can, crossed for you! **sticky baby dust** OH how are you feeling? maybe chit chatting will help pass the time away! xoxo

michelle - thanks for the support girl i need it right now .... lol i prob. could go to your house and clean it and still be nuts with the wait ..../ AFM I am now on cd 18 and 6 dpiui and just losing my mind totally ... i so love the support that ya'll are giving me because right now i'm out of control. Okay so i have to take the prometruim and my insurance won't pay for the one dose cream at night unless i am preggo already so i have to take 2 pills at 100 mg each twice a day and it is killing me. I keep telling myself it is worth it but the leaking when it dissolves is just gross and i feel dirty all day. On top of that dh wants to bd (he always wants to do it when i'm out of my window just pisses me off-sorry blowing off some steam) and i kept telling him i don't want to do anything with all this cream all day and he gets mad i mean really WTH. Soooooooo Sorry I just really needed to get that off my chest.

N-E-Way Baby Dust & Sticky Dust to you all. Love Ya!!!!

i was running to the bathroom barely able to make it coming out the bottom (TMI Sorry) and it went from the yellowish color after you use the iodine wipes to a sage green and really loose and watery ... Is this okay??? I am 8 dpiui today and also my back is killing me i mean I was barely able to move this afternoon which is why we didn't go out of town today and then I have been fighting with dh for the last 3 days straight and we don't normally fight I mean it's to the point that when he talks it gets on my nerves I don't know what all this medication is doing to me but could it be the prometrium (progestrone) since this is my first time on the cream and not the pills that i took oral?????

I will be testing on the 14th ladies and will keep you posted

Hey ladies...I've posted in a couple other spots before realizing that I should probably really be HERE...This is my first IUI, and it's likely to be tomorrow or ?? I'm waiting for word from the dr. Any tips/advice? Robitussin? BD the day of or after IUI? Foods interfere? Activity level afterward? Dieting/exercising too late? I wanted to drop 30 lbs before so that I'm not super uncomfy but the emotional rollercoaster of ttc kept me from moving forward on that...is it too late to lose a few lbs?

hey ladies just a quick update........ our little girl is doing good, we go back in to see the doc for a regular check up on the 6th, I am 23 weeks and 3 days today. were praying that all is well with her. She had been in there playing soccer or something. I told my mom I thought I had a princess, but shes more like a boxer. We have a name picked out for her. i am not telling her first name yet, because I am woried about someone stealing it ( I had that happen with my first, good thing I had a scheduled c section and he came before her little boy came) oh well her middle name is going to be Noelle.
Oh yeah the baby shower is going to be the 11th and I cant wait. I will be back to tell you ladies how it went. Alright take care. :-)

I had my first IUI on 9-5-09. I'm 34, healthy, and from what the doc said, very fertile. Not in a relationship with a man, so assistance from a doc was necessary for my partner and I. Within 6 hours of the IUI I felt something odd near my ovaries. I took a nap (which I never do). When I woke up it was like something was telling me it worked and the feeling was still there. Then the next day I still have the slight cramping, but nothing really painful. I took a 3 hour nap yesterday and forced myself to get out of bed and still keep feeling like it was a success. Now, this being only the 3rd day after the IUI, I still feel the slight cramping feeling. All of my gf's who've been pregnant say when they look at me they see a glow. I'm a sceptic, so it's driving me crazy. I can't wait until 9-21, which is the first day my doc told me to test for success. Has anyone else experienced these feelings and if so was it right? I just can't stop feeling like it worked and I have an dream come true forming inside of me. Best of luck to all of the women!! Thanks for letting me vent about my experience.

HEY!!! My first I.U.I. was 8/17/09 - BFN...today I am on cd5 and will have my 2nd IUI on the 15th or so (I hope -haven't heard from the DR yet...) I felt everything "pregnancy symptoms" even the implantation...but then nothing!! I am going to assume it's my progesterone levels being low and it didn't "stick"... will hope that next time will be the charm!! (TTC 2+years at 37 years old!!) I'm on metformin, fertilAid, fertileCM, baby asprin and muscinex.... no fertility drugs.

Hey Ladies,

I just thought that I would post a success story since during my 2ww I was searching like a mad woman trying to find just a few!! I am 30 and have been ttc for 4 years. I did 3 chlomid cycles and ended up with a cyst the size of a grapefruit. ( I had to have surgery and now my left ovary is "lost" "hiding")That was last October 08'.. scared to try again I waited unitl August of this year 09' and decided that I would proceed with IUI. I was very sceptical because they said there was only a 20% success rate :( Determined that I would not be the 80% failure I kept my eye on the prize. I did injectables and had two follicales 18 and 21 and did an hcg shot on 8/31 at 4pm and did the IUI at 9 am on 9/2 almost 40 hrs later. The Dr. told me not to get my hopes up but I had this feeling like it took. I laid there on the table for the 15-20 minutes holding my husbands hand and we just prayed soooo hard for a miracle. When I left I knew it took. 2 days later I was already feeling symptoms. I was tired, irritable, gassy and on day 5 -6 I was getting crampy and my breasts hurt very very badly. I also did 2 HCG shots after the IUI so I was not sure if that was causing all of the symptoms. However, on day 9 I felt the implantation at midnight . It was a sharp sharp cramp that lasted 30-45 seconds and it startled me. I just prayed it was not my period starting. Even though they said the HCG would make me test false positives I started testing 2 times a day starting on day 8 because I wanted to see if it would get lighter or darker and that is exactly what it did. On Thursday day 8 I tested a very light positive (still the HCG i assume) then on day 9 it was so light my husband had to hold it to the light. Saturday Day 10 I got a medium colored positive but I did not want to get my hopes up. In my heart though I think I knew!!!!Day 11 I tested again it was slightly darker but not that noticably but later that night it was a little darker. I could hardly wait until Monday day 12 to see if the line was still there and darker. I could not sleep at all that night I had insomnia I woke up at 3 and stayed up unitl 6 and tested it was the same. My husband woke up at 8 and I told him he was still skeptical because he did not want to get let down so I called the Dr office and they said they could do a blood test ... it was only day 12 I technically had 2 more days to wait but they said it was ok... sure enough BFP ........I repeat BFP!!!!!! GOD IS GOOD!!!! He gave us a miracle!!!! I could not believe it I never imagined the day would come ... That was monday and today is day 14 technically the day I was supposed to find out and I got my blood done again and my beta more than doubled it quadrupled!!!! GOD IS GOOD!! I prayed for 12 days straight 1000 times a day for this precious gift from GOD and I got it!! Don't give up ladies!!! It can and will happen!! EVEN THE FIRST TIME!! If your body says you are pregnant you more than likely are!! Stay positive... get a group of friends to pray contiuously .. that is what I did and it happened. God is good :)
