Fertility meds are insane! My hubby always thinks someone is out to get him and that doctors (especially RE's) pry on couples. That may be true, but we have to leave it up to the big man upstairs and the doctors. I hate not being in control of my own body. I will be praying for you. Yes, please do keep me posted.

We are in a heat wave this weekend. Not any storms to speak of like you mentioned, but today it's 95 degrees and feeling like July-August. I went to get some hanging baskets to take my mind of the 2WW today. I'm still not having any pregnancy symptoms to speak of, every time I feel a twinch or tiredness, I just chalk it up to the progesterone playing tricks. Today is 8 days past IUI, I'm tempted to test on Wednesday which will be the day after the 10-day mark, but really not decided. My nurse told me anything before 14 days is not recommended. I'm afraid of a false positive or worse yet, a BFN. I don't feel pregnant. This discomfort I'm feeling could just be my follicles shrinking down to size, who knows.

Take care and best of luck tomorrow

Hi lisa-kev!

Good news today! My follicles did grow! I have a 18mm,17mm, and 2 or 3 16's and a few smaller ones. I am thrilled! I have not got my instructions yet on weather or not to do another day of meds or to ovadril...will find out later! But I am excited after all this suspense it might be going somewhere!
My husband says the same thing! He gets really pissy about it and I'm like "what do you want me to do?" as if it is in my hands! Very frusturating. Day 8!!!! Your almost there! It is okay if you are not having pregnancy symptoms...the meds will make it almost impossiable to tell. I understand your temptation and worry about HPT. If you do I looked on-line for you to find the test that detects the lowest amount of HCG.
-1st response early result.....detects at 15-25 mIU/HCG.

-Clearblue Easy +/-....detects at 25 mIU/HCG

I also read that on day 10 if pregnant your level should be at about 25 mIU/HCG. So it is possiable not to register depending on day of implantation. But your levels should double every 24 hours if pregnant for retesting. Just thought! Let me know what you think! It's weird after you worry about one thing, then there is something else to worry about and so on. It never ends! I am praying and hoping so bad for you, you don't even know! I feel your stuggle on such a personal level and you have helped me get through this cycle and I don't know what I would have done without you!! I love talking to you it helps so much!
