I had to get a sono on Saturday, long story short the nurse told me I needed more meds that I wasn’t ready yet. Also told me I had 6 follicles on my left side and 1 on my right. I have a total of 7, not 5. Well she gave me 2 doses of meds to take home as I was out of it and no Dr. was in the office. I had a message on my cell phone when I got home saying that they talked to the Dr. and that I was only needed to take a half of one of the doses of meds as the Dr. is very concerned that I have so many follicles the same size. Meaning they will almost all be ready to burst at the same time, which dramatically increases my chances of having multiples. Anyways they also wanted me to come back to the Dr. office on Sunday morning to get another sono. Looks like I’m ready, they told me to take my trigger shot last night and I will go in for my IUI first thing in the morning. I’m excited, nervous but excited!! I really hope the 2nd IUI is the taker!!
TTC for 18 months
January 23, 2008
My DH and I have been TTC for about 18 months. We got a BFP in 2/07 and it ended in a miscarriage 3/07. We have of course been trying ever since and have had no luck. We are seeing an RE now, I had the typical HSG, blood tests, etc. He had a semen analasys done as well. I am fertile and healthy and he has a low sperm count. 11.6 million was his count but he has great motility and morphology so we have our fingers crossed. We have done one IUI with 50mg of Clomid last month and got a BFN. My RE wanted to take a more aggressive approach as I have a very short cycle (start my period every 25 days) so now I'm on Gonal F and 100mg of Clomid. We go in for our 2nd IUI on 1/26/07. Baby dust to all!
Okay so here's an update after this weekend of nothing but going to the dr's office!

Hey Dana,
Just checking in to see how you are going? Any baby news for me?
Haven't been online all week cause the Irish weather was too depressing and I booked flights and headed to Spain for 5 days with my Mum and little fella.
Got af over there but was expecting that so it didn't bother me. . .besides I gave all my baby dust to you lol
Take Care

Well i'm still trying as you probably know. Today is 11dpo/IUI and I still feel nothing. I'm on progesterone as my test was low. So far no AF and no sign he is coming but it may be because of the progesterone. I think this month is a bust but if I don't start by Friday I go in for a test. I won't take one myself.
Hey
Hopefully things will go right for you this month but if not then the next- I have a feeling in my waters as my mum says! No AF is a great sign though hun, I really hope it works for you guys.
I'm just sitting here in work and waiting for mine to show up. 13 days dpo and bfn. . . surprise surprise!
I have an gyn appointment on 12th of this month so I'll be interested to see what's going on and if I'm still working etc or if he finds tumble weed rolling around in there lol.
We are actually going to have a break for a while now cause my niece has been diagnosed with leukemia (last Monday). They started her chemo the same day so we are waiting to hear how her numbers are later on. she' only ten and we are all devastated but the drs are hopeful so we are too! Think it's time to concentrate on the family I have already and make sure we get through this before I throw myself into ttc again.
Wishing you all the luck in the world Missy. . this will happen for you. . and you'll make a super mom.

Thanks girl. I think this month is a bust. I think the only reason I'm haven't started is the progesterone. I think I may stop by and get a test on the way home so I can prove i'm not pregnant and quit taking these progesterone supplements. I don't feel it necessary to go to the dr for a blood test when I know deep down there isn't really a chance i'm pregnant.
I'm sorry to hear about your niece. That is so sad. We are going through throat cancer with my husbands granny and it's sooooooo sad, we are all so close. We just found out. So i hear ya we aren't doing another IUI for a month or two as my husband wants to try naturally.
