Yay Charlie and Angsea!! Things so great for you both!!

Charlie - Good luck with the IUI tomorrow! Hope it all goes well! 23mm is awesome!! Did you have just 1 follicle?? Either way, that's a great size!

Angsea - Those numbers are awesome!! I think there may be a few on this blog that might get their !! Let's hope!!

TO US ALL!

[charlie'smom]

Yup just the one good one! I have another one that is at 15, but we don't think that will do anything! I started out with four and now I am down to one good one...which is really all I need to make a healthy little bean!!!!!

[Tippy]

Oh yeah, tons of success stories with just 1.... Good luck! What time is your IUI? Mine is at 8am. I've never done this before, I'm a little nervous!! Let us know how yours goes!

[charlie'smom]

Yay Tippy!!! Look at all those wonderful follicles you have!!! My IUI is at 8:30...I too am very nervous! And my RE wants me to wait 18 days before POAS...those are going to be the longest 18 days of my life!!!! Not to mention, the morning of the 18th day is the morning we leave for vacation...which means this will either make our vacation or ruin it....NO PRESSURE!!!!!

[Tippy]

Charlie - Oh man!!! Well at least if it's good news you can celebrate and if it's bad news you have something to take your mind slightly off it But it'll be good news!!! sending you some baby dust! I'll check back tomorrow with info from the IUI, please post your info too so we can get an idea of what it was like. Again this is my first time, so I don't know what to expect!!
Here's hoping for some !

Also my RE says she wants me to wait until cd 35 to POAS which would be 27 days after the IUI... I was like ARE YOU KIDDING?!?! Because my IUI will be on cd 13 and she said if I don't wait I could get a false positive because of the medicine I'm taking. I doubt I'll wait that long though, haha.

Again, GOOD LUCK!!

Hey, I'm new to your group!
I'm into my 2nd try and praying !
Had my first IUI last month. The Dr started me out on 100 mg clomid, then HCG and last progesterone. It was such a long 2ww! The hormones sent me for a loop. I had a ton of preg symptoms but no BFP!
I'm trying and praying again this month.
Just thought I'de check you all out for tips and encouragement!
I'll pray that we will all have this month.

Welcome to the group Waiting! I just had my second IUI as well and cannot wait. These next 2 weeks are going to be interminable.

I'm babysitting my 2 year old nephew and 3 month old niece right now and they're soooo cute, especially the baby. She melts my heart.

I hope we get TONS of this month! Sending everyone lots of baby dust and keeping you all in my prayers.

Here's to lots of March, 2010 due dates!

Okay, so when the nurse called me today to give me my instructions for the IUI and trigger, she told me to reconsitute the HCG per the instructions on the vile. So I looked on the vile and it said reconstitute using 10 mL bacteriostatic water...so I added 10 mL. As i am doing that, I am thinking to myself, "if I have to give myself the whole vial, why didn't they give me anything larger than at 3 mL syringe?! Now I have to stick myself 4 times!" So my mother, who is a midwife, came over to give me my shot...she was like "that's weird why would they have you stick yourself 4 times..." And then I looked on the BOX that the viles came in, and the BOX with the pharmacy label on it said to reconstitute with 1.0 mL of bacteristatic water !!! And of course, the office is closed so I couldnt ask them! ARGH! So I ended up getting stuck in the *** 4 times...I hope I didn't mess anything up!!!!

[Tippy]

Waiting4news!! It's so great to have more people to talk to and go through with this together! When do you do your 2nd IUI?? I'm assuming soon, if you haven't already done it. Hope things come out positive!!!

Angsea - It is so hard to babysit when all you want is a baby! I completely know that feeling. Hopefully this will be the month for you and that we all get our !!! March 2010 baby!!

Charlie - Oh no! I'm sure everything is fine, but I feel so bad you had to get shot in the butt 4 times!! NOOOOO!!! I absolutely hate shots. But it sounds like it should still be OK. I'd check with the dr. first thing in the morning just to be sure, but I'm sure you're still on track to get that IUI. So where are you located?? Just curious the time difference between you and I. I'm in Utah. GOOD LUCK TOMORROW!!
For us all... and !!

Charlie - Did you do it in the butt or tummy? I don't know if you read my earlier post but I had an allergic reaction to my hCG shot. It was very painful at the injection site(my tummy) for about 24-36 hours. The Dr said its common/Normal/OK. I sure hope you do not get that x4!!!! I am sure that its OK that you mixed it up, its still the same amount of meds getting into to you, just more diluted. Good luck!!!

[charlie'smom]

Tiffany-I'm in Connecticut so I will post as soon as I get home...plenty of time to read before you go in for your procedure!!!!

Heather-I had to be stuck in the butt!!! I haven't gotten any reaction yet at the injection sites, so I am hoping I won't get anything. I thought I would be okay seeing as I did get the same amount of the meds...but my mother said it may be absorbed differently. But I am sure that everything is fine...I will tell the doctor in the morning what an IDIOT I was

Okay ladies... the list is above, so I hope it is right! I don't have all of the betas nor do I know if everyone gets the chance to do them. Anyhow...
I went in for u/s #2 today, and my right side has one 24 and one 20 with nothing worth mentioning on the left. I am so excited! The only problem I am running into is that if I get a BFN I will be out of town... and also for my baseline u/s. Not sure that the docs will let me start new drugs without the baseline u/s. I hope that it is okay.

You know what... maybe there won't be a next month! Maybe this will be my BFP!!!

Hey, has anyone had an issue with more bleeding after the HCG injection vs the FSH injections. I had to do it in the tummy, and normally I barely bleed.

Well, I hope you are all doing well!

[charlie'smom]

AllDeliveries-

I had to give my HCG in the butt and I did have some bleeding afterwards...it is a much bigger needle afterall

And thanks for summarizing everyone's day...so many posts to read to figure it all out.

Timing and Tippy-Good Luck today!!!!!!

[charlie'smom]

All done with my IUI...wasn't too bad, have some cramping though. Hubby had 20 million swimmers at 80% motility...all's I need is one Get to do the tomorrow! Here's hoping all goes well!!!! Good luck everyone!!!

[Tippy]

Alldeliveries - Thanks for making that list! It makes it so much easier to see everyone's progress!!

Timing - Good luck today, let us know when your procedure is all done!!

Charlie - Glad to hear things looked good!! I just finished my IUI as well about an hour ago. Went great. They couldn't get the syringe up there at first, but was able to get through and it was slightly more painful than a regular pap, but not bad at all. Just felt pretty crampy. Still feeling crampy right now too. They don't do an analysis of my DH's swimmers, they just told me it all looked great! So hopefully that's all I need

Send this to everyone this month!!

I can't believe I actually did it, I we all get our !! Let's keep up on our symptoms too.. but I can't wait 2 weeks!! This is going to suck!!

My RE said I shouldn't POAS until cd 35 or I could come in, 2 weeks from now for BW, which I definitely will be doing So that would be right around 07/01.
