Well AF is here. Bets came back as 2. baseline ultrasound on Friday. I will be around this next cycle with you ladies.

I hope some BFP star coming in.

[alliben]

Good luck, Heather!

I'll be starting Clomid again tomorrow. Dr. kept me at 50mg, which was a bit disappointing. We'll see, I guess.

Hello Ladies,

I'm BACK an ready to fight IF like crazy. I called our RE nurse an had a chat with her. She told me when the best days for us to . Told her we will not be doing a IUI this month and told her that I'm suppose to have AF again this month since I'm a 27 to 28 day cycle. We're going to ttc naturally on our own this time an my RE nurse wants us to report in to let her know what is happening an if AF shows her ugly face. Then after AF shows her ugly face again close to end of month I will call the RE nurse and tell her then she will tell me again when is the best days to again. Then if I get AF in Sept the RE nurse will make us appointment of when to come in for a scan an start meds. I'm thinking of asking our RE about a cream or something to help if do get pregnant.

What do you all think about me asking my RE about using a progesterone suppositories?
All my bw they have done always come back great. Should I ask them to for that anyways?

My Dh has a low sperm count but the other stuff like the Motility is like 66% and the Morphology is normal. that my DH count has came more this time round since had him on all types of vitamins long with change in diet. I can say his sperm motilty came up from 38% to 66% and the Morphology of his sperm was 20 now it is normal.. Just now if we can get the bad boys to reach the egg.. His count was at first 3 million an one time it was 5 million then went up to 10 million. Then when he got sick with flu his count dropped back down to 3million again then back up to 5million but after had was it was only 3 million. The other counts I told you all was before a sperm wash. So that if have to do 3rd IUI his count be up more.. Tryn our darnest not to get sick at all. We're going to drink more water an watch everything we eat..

I'm ready to fight, fight an fight IF. We're going to win it may take a while but we're going to win this battle.

Keeping our fingers that we soon get our that we have been fighting for..

Now you ladies keep fighting also don't let IF win, We all need to show IF we mean business nothing less..

COME ON ... to everyone on here..

Our office likes to see 5million minimum. I'm really hoping that it works for you naturally. Wouldn't that be a precious miracle? OH. I just read the sperm wash thing. Silly questions (and I'm sure you've covered this), but has he given up hot tubs, caffeine, tighty whities and alcohol? I heard something about sperm count being higher in the morning (I wonder if this has something to do with our core temperatures dropping during sleep?) I've said it somewhere, but I'm fully convinced all my hubby's sperm do is swim into the walls of my uterus...think those little pull back racecar toys. I mean, seriously, how hard is it to find something that's that much bigger than you!?!?! And swimming to the wrong tube? You would think that there are some hormonal magnets in the female body...

I wish you the most luck I can possibly muster. I have found it very reassuring knowing that there are women like you that keep on continuing with *seemingly* endless patience (I can't think of a better word, it's 1 in the stinkin' morning). You are my heroes!

Hi ladies! I'm on my way to work but I wanted to pop in and say hi since I'm on my way to Philly for the weekend and won't be able to check in. I really hope I come back to some good news!

Heather I'm that your symptoms mean something good! Out of curiousity did you have trouble concieving your daughter? I have a son and I had ovulation problems then but I only did 3 rounds of Femera and was pregnant. I still haven't figured out what changed between then and now!!

Slyfox - glad to see you back! Good luck girl!

I'll follow with an update to the list (although I really don't want to, I wanted to see some BFP on there by now!)

[AllDeliveriesNoBaby]

Sorry for all of the BFNs. Has anyone heard from Charity? I am so anxious to hear if she is our first BFP!

[adoption2007]

As of right now I am 8 dpiui. I am still feeling mild cramping on and off through the day along with some nauseousness on and off. My bbs are still sore and I have been irritable. I will most likely be testing on Sunday. This wait is killing me. Best of luck!!!

[TracyB]

HEY LADIES!!! I just wanted to stop in and check on some of my friends from the previous IUI thread. I miss you girls! I am in an IVF thread now and it's a little crazier that the small close group of IUIers. But it is very helpful at the same time. I am really keeping my fingers crossed and hoping that you all get the baby you so deserve very very soon. I'll keep coming back and checking. I hope in a couple weeks I can see you all on the "success stories" thread!

AFM, I'm doing IVF now and doing Lupron shots every day. Tomorrow I have a baseline u/s (I guess that's what they call it). And after that I think I'm going to be starting my stimulant injections. You can see my details in my signature. It's all really scary and I think I was much more relaxed during the IUI's. But hey, you know we will all do anything to have a baby right? So here I go!

Good luck to each and every one of you! I hope this is going to be your BFP month. Keep your eyes on the prize! BABY DUST AND LOTS OF STICKY VIBES TO ALL OF YOU!!

[busybee33]

It's official, another BFN, had beta today. This month is looking dismal for IUIs! Someone has to get their BFP, right? Come on Heather, we're counting on you! AFM, I am moving on to IVF - I am going to keep checking on the ladies who have not tested yet though.

[SlyFoxy]

momtocats4now==To answer your questions you ask= My DH has given up his hot showers, drinks a coke once a blue moon no tight whites ever don't laugh at this but he doesn't wear tight whites he mostly wears boxers an beddie bye nothing at all.. LOL.. I know tmi.. He does have to take meds for type 2 sugar.

My DH volume use to be low but now since got him taking fishoil his volume went from 1.5 to 2.0 ml which is good. My DH is glad I've took time out to research stuff to see what can help his swimmers..

Forgot to add we don't drink any type of beer at all but once in a blue moon would drink a mixed drink but we don't do it regular nope never just a mixed drink on special day such as anivarry an that be it but we haven't drinked a mixed drink in over 3 yrs..

Now on our RE as long we have 1million after wash there is a chance of getting a BFP..Our RE say it may take longer but hang in it will happen.. The last time thou we had our IUI the RE said as long as there are sperm it can happen. He's had people to get a BFP with only 1 million sperm just takes longer on the joney.. Only reason his count had dropped back down to 3 million was due to flu so hopefully next time we go back unless it happens the old way which be great that his count would be back up to 10 or more in the million range.. My DH says I don't see how in the heck that not one can find a simple egg when they are almost showen the place.. That is just plum crazy for them not to..

This time though we are ready to FIGHT FIGHT THIS IF this til we win..

Don't have many more days til time to and more to see if get our BFP this time..


Good Luck to you hun on getting your BFP this round...

[kelliethomas]

I tested this morning and got a !!! I went to the doc to confirm with blood work and so far all my levels look okay. I still can't believe I'm !!! I go on Tues for blood work again and a bloodline ultrasound which will determine if I need to take it easy (need bed rest). I'm hoping and praying that everything goes wonderful during this pregnancy.

Good luck to everyone and try to stay positive!

Kellie - Congratulations!! Our first BFP!! Did you have any symptoms? BEST of luck to you and yours??

[kelliethomas]

No I really didn't have any symptoms except a little cramping this week, so I thought I was getting AF. Remember I got a BFN on 11 dpiui, so I thought this cycle was out for me, but I guess I implanted late???

Good luck to everyone and don't lose hope!
