No News....

BFN today. I thought I had a very faint positive, but 2 negative tests after that confirmed I didn't.

I am only 7-8 DPO today though, tons of time left for that line to show up!

Ask and Ye Shall Receive

Pregnancy symptoms that is....

pink spotting, aching breasts, and a couple more twinges....I would say its pretty obvious as this is exactly like I felt in December, I will test tonight and twice a day, now!

New Look

I hope everyone likes the new look to the blog. I wanted a change, the green was getting to me.

I am a week through the 2WW. It went rather quickly actually. I am going to start testing tonight, just for fun. I said I would wait until Wednesday, but who am I kidding!

I had some cramping yesterday, and a nice strong twinge. What might be a temp dip today, but I think my temp the other day was just High. you can see my chart here. Has anyone had a faint positive at 7dpo, or how many dpo were you when you got yours? My last pregnancy was 11dpo.

I will update if I get any other pregnancy symptoms (I have tons, but I am on progesterone) or if I get a BFP.

I got me a Fancy Countdown Clock!

I have seen nicer ones though....I wish I knew how to gadget and widget up my blog, but I am so bad at it.

its my countdown to my 2WW (two week wait) I will totally test before then, I am thinking next wednesday (6 days to go!) but probably won't see anything until the weekend if it is there!

so now you can all obsess with me.

So as far as my meds go...progesterone still sucks, its been one day of it and I am already feeling the effects. Fragmin sucks too, needles everyday is not my idea of fun! don;t know how I will do 9 months of this...please tell me it gets easier! and my TSH was 3.8 so I think I need to get on some synthroid, ideal TSH levels in the first trimester are 3 or less...so I am a bit above that! I need to put in a call to my endocrinologist tomorrow to let him know this and see what he says.

so I am a medicated fool...doing my best to keep this bean in this time if it works!

IUI 2.2

Done nd I am at home relaxing. Had a nice nap this afternoon.

I had a wonderful woman, R.uth, do my IUI this time (RE has never done it yet, its always been one of his nurses or one of his colleagues). R.uth put me at ease, answered all of my questions, explained the fragmin shot, and to stop it if I am bleeding (I am glad she reminded me about this).

T's count was 69 million (and this keep in mind is IUI 2, so this is after only 24 hours since last)....holy! She joked that he could get everyone in the waiting room knocked up, but of course I will be the only one to get it! So clearly sperm is NOT our issue, just in case we were wondering. He is such a show off! Yesterdays count was 43 million.

So now we wait, April 6th is my beta, but we are out of town, so I have a requisition to go to a lab where we are, and then will call the RE to let them know I did it and to call for results. I will of course do HPT's starting in a week though, so If I get a + then I will see the RE before I go away.

If you are Fertilly Challenged

and want a fun place to hang out!

IUI 2.1 (IUI 1 of Cycle 2)

it went well, we were there until almost noon...nearly 5 hours. we got lost in the shuffle, our RE had to go before the sperm was washed(how long does it take to bathe a sperm...seriously?) and we were forgotten until T said something.

It was more uncomfortable this time, and I have been more crampy afterward than I was last time. IUI 2.2 is tomorrow, and then I start progesterone suppositories (3x daily) and fragmin injections (not sure how many times/day). I will continue on my baby aspirin, and start my prescription prenatal vitamin tonight.

Anyone have tips for making it easier to do the fragmin shots?? I am really nervous about this.

They worked...holy what a surprise!

OPK's

Clinic called, my blood work showed my LH surge (obviously) so we go for IUI tomorrow and Wednesday.

oh and let me try to upload these dang OPK pics again.... geez still not working...I will add them later AGAIN.

Positive OPK, and the Digital Agrees

I went for another follicle scan today, follicle was 20mm still, RE said I will probably ovulate tomorrow. I told him I got a positive OPK last night, and he said yep definitely will ovulate tomorrow. I came home to pee on more sticks...because that's all I do! Both the e p t ones and now my C.learb.lue Digital say its time!

So people...IUI tomorrow! they are going to call me today to confirm with my bloodwork results, but I am sure it is!

eta....I can't seem to upload pics, so I will try again later!
