I went into town today and bought 4 dollar tree tests, just did one when I got home and still on 12DPIUI. I would have gotten more but didn't have much cash on me. I don't think I'll have bloodwork done if I'm still testing negitive on Saturday. I really think AF is coming. I've been feeling that way for the past 8 or 10 days. Today I'm more crampy and if I'm going to get AF, she's due anytime-I'm thinking Friday, Saturday or Sunday. I just wish if she were coming, she'd come already so I can plan on having hubby with me on Sunday for CD3 bloodwork/ultrasound. The cramping and bloating is so uncomfortable and I'm a stomach sleeper and can't even sleep comfy on my stomach. All in all though, I really like the dollar tree tests and don't feel as guilty POAS as often. That one single pink like came up very fast and not even a hint of faint positive line, all white and very cold!!!

I hope you feel better soon! Get some rest

Awwwh lisa_kev! I am so sorry you are getting on POAS. Do you know how much HCG it detects? If you do I am surprised you are still having cramping and all. That is sometimes a sign of pregnancy. Or . When I did IVF I started the POAS on day 10 I think and did them until I went in for bloodwork, all BFNs. It is devistating! While I was in the room getting my bloodwork done on day 14, another lady was in there and was so excited, she had a bag full of like 10 tests (wow right) and they all had some sort of positive on them. Even the faintest line I have read means +. I asked her if she did IVF and she did IUI. I was sooo sad for myself after that. Now I look back and it makes me kinda hopeful. Also you could be a late bloomer with your HCG levels, implantation sometimes takes like 10- 15 days. I read HCG has something to do with measuring the levels of the placenta.

I know I already told you this story, but my Mom had me babysit so that she could go to the doctor because she thought she had a tumor or some sort of growth, or was starting metopause. She was still having periods, a little irregular and had taken 3 pregnancy tests before she desided to go to the doctor. She comes home and I could tell by the look on her face...she was pregnant. Not only was she pregnant but she was like 3-4 months along!!! Crazy right. Her HCG levels were just not registering on a POAS! Now I have a 4 year old little sister!

I am so bad for you, I feel like we have known eachother for ever and everything that happens to you totally affects me I am actually SO upset about Xytex and the count you ended up with after EVERYTHING you went through to do this!

As far as me, I felt SO sick after the insemination, like I was going to throw up and was so crampy before and after the insemination. I am taking the prostoserone gel once daily. It is called Crinone. I forgot to grab panty liners and my husband and son went up to the drugstore to get them. My son told the lady at the counter that they were buying dipers for his Mom, lol! He is at that age were everything I say or do he tells everyone! Embaressing! I know it's only day 3 of my 2 week wait, but I have no symptoms at all. I am crampy in my lower abs but that is normal, being that your ovaries are shrinking back to normal. Hhhhhh....

I would still go take your bloodtest just to be sure, but that is a personal decision you and your hubby need to make. I am so nervous for you right now and !!!! If you need to talk I am always here!
