Wow, that is so crazy!

My friend, Fertile Myrtle (haha), was told when she was prego with her first child that her preg wasn't viable and she would need an AB. Well, she was like, heck no! I want a second opinion. So she got one. They did all the BW and u/s again and said she was SO early on and that the other Dr. should have known that. So keep the hope because she thought hers wasn't a "sticker" and he was and is the most beautiful little boy ever!

You never know until you know!

AFM, I think is starting. Does anyone know if progesterone causes brown/dark colored blood? TMI, sooo sorry, but you are my information people! =)

Charlie'smom - that everything works out for you and that your little one is just trying to dig in nice and deep!

Greg'slady - I had my IUI on the 13th and is finally here full force. I think the progesterone probably delayed everything for me.

AFM, I go to see my RE today to discuss options. I am still down about everything so hopefully talking to my RE will help get positive thoughts back.

For those testing soon, i that you all get

I am so sad & depressed to see the unfortunate things that are happening in our group this month. I pray that things will work out for all of us. I have an appt with my RE monday to discuss IVF w/ICSI... I believe that may be my only option as dh s/a wasn't great for the iui so this may be my only option. I will kup on the outcome but I wanted to say THANKS!!! for being such a supportive group & I only that we will all get those in the coming months...

Nicky, me too. she showed up just when I had that last glimmer of hope, like they got my confused with someone else! LOL

Talked with fertility clinic and they were kinda b-wordy to me. Because I go to a semi-rural pharm I asked if they would call the clomid in today so they would have it day 3. They said no! Can you believe that! I explained that I have to call in my inhaler 3 days in advance so they can order it she said, sorry, you'll just have to start it late...?!??!?

Why are they torturing me?!??

Well,that is just stupid. I'd call back and ask to have the Dr call you/you don't want to delay the drugs. I think sometimes the nurses just do whatever they feel like w/o consulting the Dr assuming the Dr will say "OK".

Progesterone definitely will delay AF and I had the brown spotting last month for a full day then the real deal started.

AFM- I have not tested again but still no AF. I can tell she is coming though. Spoke with nurse yesterday and we will use BCPs to manipulate my cycle this month.(I may have told you all that already)

Still depressed about this month. I am not sure how long I can beat myself up like this?

Gregslady-that's ridiculous! Call again- find out why they said that (maybe it takes longer than 3 days??). But that's really awful of them to be like that. On the positive side, a lot of clomid is prescribed starting day 5 so you should be fine.

Charlies mom - still have some hope! Good luck

AFm I took an hpt (day 11 for me - I miscalculated my dates, which I realized when I was waiting for the results) and it was negative. I know it's a bit early, but ugh!!! I am going to my re tomorrow to talk about future options. I know it seems pessimistic but if we don't discuss it before a cycle starts, the clinic won't change my protocol. I am seriously considering ivf but I don't know if he'll go for it. I don't care about the $ - emotionally this is costing me way more! Sorry to be such a downer - that result today made me so sad

Well, as of last night I was still negative at 12dpiui. Maybe tonight will be better news.

Greg's Lady- Sorry they are idiots. Have you called the pharm to see if Clomid is in their formulary.

Well, I went to the RE this morning for bloodwork...and .

Oh well - I know it's all in God's time - not mine. I'm disappointed, but am greatful at least that my body worked and his soldiers were ready to march - we just didn't make the connection this time.

Good luck to all of us still waiting for our miracle and congratulations to all of you expecting your blessing.

Sorry Mered... Oh jeez, I can't remember the rest of your screen name! LOL I am really sorry.. and tired!

I have a question, when do we start a new thread on here? I pretty much know when my IUI is going to be since I'm like a 30 day clock! (31 thanks to the progesterone!)

Not that I want to bail on this one but I do want to look forward and NOT back.

I tested this morning and 2 hours later came. I am more upset than normal this time, not sure why, but on to injectables I go. I am going to the clinic thursday am for baseline and training on injectables. At least I am having my second straight month of a perfect 28 day cycle.

The nurse just called with the results of my bw and said the beta was 67 and that my progesterone is a 20+. Do those #'s seem low?

Sunny - your numbers sound good! Congrats

Greg'slady - sorry to here that your clinic is being so difficult! Don't they understand that this is hard enough on us and we don't need trouble from them too!! When will your next IUI be?

AllDeliveries - that you get a next time you test.

Heatherly - what is your plan for this cycle? You mentioned using bcp's to manipulate your cycle? Glad you are able to continue on and not have to sit out a whole month.

Sorry to all those that tested this morning and got s. I that you all end up soon.

AFM, I just got back from the RE and we are going to try injectibles again. If that doesn't work then we will probably take a break.

So here comes IUI # 3...... Third time's a charm right
