Bistro - I know this sounds funny, but here's hoping shows soon, so you can be onto the next IUI cycle with all of us!!

Dylansmommy - I'm with you, it's hard for DH to get work off, so we've been trying to schedule the IUI's in the morning so that we can get the sample at home before he leaves for work. Luckily we live close enough to do that. Maybe that could be an option for you?

Charliesmom- I'm sure things will be great! Even if the numbers aren't wonderful now, I'm that they will continue growing! At least you had so many follies... hopefully they just surge and get big enough just when you're ready to trigger


So I'm back from a wonderful weekend, but I've missed the boards! We went camping this weekend, and guess what? I forgot to take my clomid one of the days we were gone! I was FURIOUS!!! I've been taking it at night, and I remembered the next morning, so I took it first thing in the morning and then the next set of pills late that night. I'm really hoping that didn't screw things up!!! I'm such a moron. Everything we go through and I had to forget the pill. Uggh.... well there wasn't anything else to do, so we'll see.

Also, last month I went in for my first u/s after the initial one on day 9. They weren't big enough, so I came back on day 11, which I triggered on that day, but I had already released 1 egg at that point. Well this time around my dr. isn't having me even come in for my next u/s until day 12! I asked if it was too late for me to come in and they said, "no, that's what the dr. said, day 12." So I that it's not too late at that point and I still have some follies to release.

Anyways, enough rambling, hopefully this will be each our months for a ...

Tippy-I feel your pain! I almost forgot to take my injections while we were on vacation!!! I was so relaxed and not even THINKING about the fact that we were trying!!!! It was actually kind of nice to not be thinking about it! But thank goodness I did remember to take it every night, even if it was a little later than normal...

Here's hoping this is our month!!!

Well, my hubby, doggie and I had a relaxing weekend to ourselves! We grilled and napped and relaxed. It was wonderful!

I hope you all were able to rest up for the coming weeks!

We ordered our donor sperm last night. That was totally surreal. And EXPENSIVE! WOW!

I am starting to use my OPK on Wed and should be in for an ultrasound and Ovidrel on Saturday. Unless I am ovulating sooner, but I doubt it!

Thank you SO much for all of your words. They are very helpful! NO ONE gets it. I feel SO ALONE and when I found this board I was THRILLED!!!!

I wish all of you , as well as myself.

Thanks again and I will totally keep you posted and in my thoughts.

Hi girls! I'm already in the July 19-28 thread but it looks like I should have just come here. I'm having my follicles checked on the 16th and if all goes well, I'll have my third IUI on the 17th. I'm happy to be here and hope there are oodles of waiting for us all.

[Tippy]

Ang! Horray! I'm glad you can join us!! I'm also glad you can do another cycle of IUI. I thought you weren't going to be able to do another round?? But I'm SOOOO happy for you because this could be your month!!!!

[timing]

please add me. AF arrived 7/3/09, our 3rd IUI failed.
saw several familiar names, hopefully, this is our month!

Here is what I posted under June 15-22 IUI thread:
"We will start our 4th IUI, probably on 7/17/09 according to my inner clock!
My RE gave me the same med as the previous two failed cycles, Femara 2.5 CD5-9, still no injectable, or trigger shot. Is this normal? (I'm ovulating on my own, my BBT can be textbook example.)"

Can someone shed a light on me? My HSG is normal, lining is normal. any other test I need to take?

Good luck to everyone!

[dylansmommy]

lol i had to cheat and write this all down so i hope i didn't miss anyone

alicia good luck to you sounds like you had a relaxing weekend, awesome!

charliesmom thanx i hope it works out for the weekend but if not we will still have fun trying lol maybe you will simply O a little later I think the meds are sometimes hard on you and your body slows down in response thinking i'm not ready yet there is always hope

ang good luck to you

timing good luck to you ..if you ovulate alright maybe they think the less interference the better and the number three is supposed to be good luck right !!

bistro thanx I can't call in sick but i'm hopin if it doesn't happen on a weekend we can just bd like crazy and make it work anyway good luck to you

tippy the re's office insists DH be the one to bring in his sample and we live really far from the office and he works 1 hour 30 mins from the office and starts an hourand a half before they even open so he would have to take vacation and his work doesn't like him waiting till the last second so I don't know..good luck to you..i think you should be alright with the missed dose of clomid it was only 1 and you caught it before too long so don't stress..sounds like you enjoyed your weekend so that's awesome..good luck!

ok holy cow!(breathe) good luck to you ladies glad from the sounds of it everone had a mostly enjoyable weekend afm my house is still standing after my crazy dh and his best friend and the neighbors set off big fireworks so that's always a plus(since we havent signed the mortgage papers yet lol)..anyhow here's to lots of bfp

Ok, so someone talk me down.... Stressing way to much right now. This is my first cycle and I'm driving my own self crazy!!! LOL.

Will my CM dry up like normal while I'm on the Femera before I get the trigger shot? So how will the boys swim there way to where they need to be if there isnt any CM???? (to update those who didnt see my original post... I am stimming with timed BD instead of the iui)

[bistro]

Tippy - that is toooo funny! I was actually hoping the witch would arrive sooner too!! I know I'm not and I just want to get started already and since I'm here I want to join this thread! today and cramps, so we'll see . . .

Angsea . . .good to see you here. Having read all of your posts, I am rooting for you BIG TIME!!

Charliesmom - don't let missing a dose consume you. You never know!!! I am praying for you to O on a weekend!!!

mbaggett - I feel like I freaked out my first cycle too, which was . I put all my eggs in one basket, so to speak. But look at some of the other boards, there are few on the very first cycle. Just because we are infertile and "beating the odds" now, doesn't mean that has to be a trend - if you know what I mean!

So . . . AFM . . . we will see what happens. If I O as early as I did last cycle, I should def be on this board. We'll see when that red-headed wench arrives now that the prometrium is done.

Yeah I was supposed to move onto injectibles (which we can't afford) but our RE wasn't available for consultation until 7/15. I threw a fit because that would mean giving up my July cycle entirely so he said I could go ahead with one last try on oral meds while we wait for the consultation. I'm praying, crossing my fingers, toes and eyes that this is God's way of letting us avoid the brick wall we're about to run into.

Thanks so much for your support!

Mbaggett - I am on my 3rd cycle of Femera and have never noticed a problem with my CM. I hope it works for you.

Bistro - hope shows up soon so you can get on with things.. I think that waiting to start a cycle is almost worse than the 2ww.

Angel - glad you have one more chance with Femera. Hope that this is it for you and you won't have to worry about moving on to injectables.

Well I am on my last day of Femera and will be going to the RE on Friday for a follie check. Seems like Friday is so far away.

this is the month for us all.

[mbaggett]

So this is my last night of Femera, u/s scheduled for tomorrow to see what the follies are doing.

Nicky and Bistro, thanks for the talking me off the ledge. My CM has gone form EW to creamy (sorry for the TMI) can they (spermies) still get to where they need to go? My body is so used to the big O on CD11or CD12 (which is today) that I think its still doing what it usually does. Who knows.

On another note.... Looks like everyone had a wonderfull 4th weekend.

Baby dust to everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Heatherly]

Howdy All! Welcome to all the new people to the thread. I think this IS the month!

I had my day 8-9 u/s this morning. There were only 2 good size ones and 4-5 small ones. I am not excited about that as last month I had 7 follies and did not get pg.

I am going to think positively (Grow follies, grow!) I am seeing an acupuncturist tomorrow too. Figure I'd throw that into the mix this month.

:babydust :

[Greg'slady]

Does anyone feel like time has completely stopped around O time!?!?

[dylansmommy]

lol alicia i was just thinking about that..time not only stopped i think but is moving in reverse lol!..I don't know about anyone else but i'm gonna need a psych visit when this is all over
good luck
