taka: fertility blend is a combination of vitamines. I believe for the man it is supposed to help the sperm get stronger etc and the women to regulate.
Here is there link:
FertilityBlend: Optimize Reproductive Health - Home

My RE suggested it for my DH and then I saw they have it for women so we figured it wouldnt hurt for both of us to take it.
My DH doent have any male factor but I guess she just thought she would add it in there since we are on our own for awhile.

I went for my beta today and it was 66. My RE does not seemed concerned. Actullay I just looked at my first beta with my son and it was only 13 and everything turned out perfect so I'm not going to stress.

Barbara - Are you going to POAS? You only have 2 more days until your beta. I hope you get a BFP!

Mindi - I don't feel anything. The only symptoms I had was some cramping off and on after the ET, then they stopped after a couple days. I woke up with AF cramping Sat that is when I decided to do the hpt. Now I feel nothing at all. Are you going to do one?
I'm praying for a BFP for you as well!

Thanks again to everyone for all your support!

Ok, So I broke down and POAS even though I am only 10dpiui. It was a I don't have any symptons of AF but just swollen bbs. Do you think I still have a chance of having a getting a on the real day that I am supposed to POAS?

I did the Clear Blue Digital with the Pregnant and Not Pregnant sings. I started a thread to see what the best HPT out there was everyone said to go with First Response. I got a $2.00 off coupon from their website so I am going to buy on today.

Did anyone of you get a BFN before you got your BFP? On what day was it. I also don't know if IUI takes longer to show up then IVF, which I see most of you have done. Any thoughts?

I promise to wait until Friday to do another test. Girl Scouts honor.

I'm so glad I found this thread! I will be (gulp) 41 in May. We have a wonderful 6 year old daughter and have been ttc #2 for 6 years now.

I just finished my first cycle of injectables and had an IUI on th 19th.

I will be holding out POAS until May 3rd. (That's the plan)

May I join you ladies?

You most certainly may join us here. We're usually a rather lively group. And at (gulp) almost 41, you're practically one of the babies among us.

Mindi - good luck with your BETA friday.

Tamar - Wishing you the best with your IUI this cycle.

Marisa - congrats with your BETA #. I am so happy for you.

Karol

I have 2 more days until my 3rd u/s. I heard a heartbeat last week and saw the teeny cutie. My RE said that the little one is on the small side, so we are for a lot of growth this week. I don't come in as much to the boards, cause I was getting a bit obsessed with every little thing. I'm still thinking of you all....
