Thanks for stopping by my page and sprinkling that baby dust! I need it!

So I am officially in my 2WW. I had my u/s yesterday and they found 2 follies. One was about 28mm and the other was about 10mm. So they believe if it happens the 28mm one will do the trick as the other one is not mature enough. So they gave me the trigger shot yesterday and told me to come in at 1 pm for IUI. There are 2 RE's at this clinic, and I happened to get the one I've seen only once before for last cycle's u/s. I was a bit nervous about that, but he was actually very nice. I'm actually considering seeing only him and not the RE that told me we had no chance. He came in and said he wanted to do IUI with u/s so he could see where the best spot was to deliver the sperm. He explained everything as he did it and showed me on the screen where my uterus and bladder were located. And he had me watch the screen as the sperm was injected into my uterus. I felt such a rush of hope then! Once it was done he said DH's count was at 6 million but there were only 3 million that were good after the washing, which is what I got for the IUI. He said while the count is low, there's always hope, but we should consider thinking about ICSI or IVF. In the meantime, DH has a follow up appt with urology next week to see if there's any possible way to increase his count. Hopefully I get my BFP from this IUI and don't have to worry about IVF or ICSI!!!!!!

and going crazy. LOL! Been trying to figure out if every little thing is a symptom. Have sore nipples, but that happens when AF will show, but I am not discouraged as it's a pregnancy symptom as well. Have had minor cramping, almost as when I am on AF...Nothing I can't bear, but I know it's there. But I did have an IUI and cramping was minor that same day and more intense the next night and 3rd morning after IUI, so it's possible the cramps are from IUI. After 3rd day though, cramping went away. CM has been same as every month, kind of creamy and not excessive, so everything looks normal on that end. So no sure signs. I am trying to do other things and not think about it and keep busy so I don't jinx myself into a BFN. Going to school has definitely helped....one more week and 2 days to go!

Mendy

to see where the problem lies and why his sperm count is significantly low. We get in there and the Dr said the hormones test, the genetics test, all the other blood tests they did showed everything is perfectly NORMAL!!!! If everything is so normal, then why is his count so low??!!!! Why can't we get pregnant!?? They also said that because they don't know what's causing this, they can't prescribe any medication to improve his count. They told us they wished us the best of luck, and hoped that IUI or in vitro would do the trick, but that's all they could do for us there. WTF??!!!! It is so frustrating to hear a Dr tell you we don't know what the problem is but there's something wrong. I could've freaking told him that!!!!! We had to wait 2 months to hear that BS!!!! It makes me mad and sad at the same time. I am just hoping and praying that I will get my BFP this month. Honestly, though, as the day approaches (Tuesday) I am scared to test. I've been positive and hopeful during this 2WW and I don't feel like I'll be ready for that heartache if it's a BFN...

BTW.....nipples are still sore and I get period like cramps from time to time. I am associating all this with all the hormones in my medications and cramps due to IUI....I feel that I need to put an excuse for every symptom I get, only because I want to put a barrier around my heart, so if I get a BFN it won't hurt as much.

Mendy

And I will be testing!!! Nipples still sore, although I noticed the underside of my boobs are little sore as well, still get occasional cramping, AF is not due until Saturday of next week! Don't know what's up, but I'm really hoping it's good news!

hi Mendy
just wanted to pop in and wish you bucket loads of for you.

you've been through so much i really hope this is your month, its good that the docs checked so early in the uk you have to wait 2 years.

Mendy

So I tested this morning as it's been 2 weeks since IUI #2 and all I got was a BIG FAT NEGATIVE!!!!!

I hate those freakin words so much!!!! I had to go to work, so I composed myself and went, tried to smile at everyone, but felt the pain inside. If I started to think about it, tears would come, so I brushed it aside and tried not to think about it.

My friend who has a one month old baby girl invited me to her house, so I went right after work. Her baby is gorgeous, and I just wish that would be me, holding my own baby.

I feel so emotionally drained....like I mentioned in my other post, I wish I didn't give a crap about conceiving so it wouldn't hurt so much. I went from being sad to being pissed off to wanting to kick myself for crying about this... and I still haven't let it all out and had a good cry....I want to, but it's just not coming...

I know it's not over till AF shows, but I don't want to keep my hopes high and then feel worse than I do now when she does show...so for now I will be looking ahead to IUI #3....

Mendy

So AF got me today when I came home from work...I kinda suspected it was coming, but I still had that little bit of hope.

On to cycle 11....it's so frustrating but I guess the start of AF is the start of new hope for this next cycle. We are going on to IUI #3. I am calling RE's office tomorrow to schedule my u/s and go from there.

Why is this so hard?????

Mendy

Called my RE's office today and have an appt set for Aug 06 for u/s. They will take a look at my ovaries, give me clomid, and tell me to get off BC pills which will give me another AF and start my ticker back to CD1. From there I will have another u/s and if follies are big enough I will get trigger shot and IUI #3. Hopefully this will be it for me....
