Debbie- I am happy to hear you had your IUI today. Dh was not happy giving his sample and was very stressed out and quiet about the whole thing. I was worried he may not be able to perform under the pressure, but like your dh came through. Even though we go through so much as women, I can't imagine having to perform under those circumstances. It sounds like the IUI was a good idea with dh's count. It was a bit on the low side. My dh had about 13 mil but his morphology was terrible too. Hopefully with all those follies and his swimmers had a head start it will be just what you needed to get your bfp. I know no one really likes to think about it , especially since we all struggle just to get pg, but selective reduction is always an option if you get pg with 3 or more. My RE told me that usually 1 out of every 3 is a good egg, so hopefully 1 or 2 will be your lucky numbers. I am praying for you!

Hi Jenny thanks for asking. I am just starting the 2ww I willnot do beta until 2/28. It seems as if it is an eternity. Glad to hear you are doing well. I feel I have to catch with everyone. Not really been posting for a while we took a break. Cannot believe you are so close, it seems so fast. I am sure you are not feekling that way. Especially with everything you went through to bring this miracle into the world.

I have a good feeling about the 28th!!!...Actually it does seem pretty fast compared to what I though I would be feeling...I am anxious at this point since the shower is over and his stuff is washed and ready to go...I have packed my bag and his bag for the hospital...I have another u/s on the 25th to see what he is weighing at that point and then I have a dr's appointment the same day and we will hopefully discuss the weight and delivery at that point...I pray that you will get a BFP at the end of the month...Talk to you soon...

Good luck with the Dr next visit. When is your exact due dat. My friend just had a baby and she had a csection two weeks before the due date. So funny, they thought the baby was going to be closed to 10 pounds. He was 7lbs 15oz. I think they were off a bit. Good luck to you, hope he will be here sooner than later.

Right now the only talk is possible induction...It is really going to depend on his size as to whether or not we opt for a c-section....Whatever is the safest way to bring him into the world we are ready...Hope you journey has a successful ending with a BFP!!!!...

Congrats Beth! and Best Wishes to everyone on the 2 WW!! I am back in the game this month after being benched for a cycle due to a cyst. (Following my BFN from the first IUI)
Took BC for a cycle to help shrink the cyst and it worked! The cyst recheck came back and I am all cleared for baby making.
I missed a pill the Friday before last and have been "spotting" every day since. At my recheck appt on Thursday she told me I had quite a bit of endometrial lining still to shed. This might be a hard period to track bc I have been spotting for so many days.
I am waiting for that first full flow day to hit so I know when to start Letrozole again.
We'll go for our 2nd attempt at IUI again this cycle. This time with meds...here are a few questions that hopefully you ladies might be able to help me figure out
1. Is it possible that the first IUI didn't work because there was a cyst that cycle?
2. Will my period start "full flow" after missing a pill and spotting so many days? (I typically "start" on day 28) but have been light bleeding for 2 weeks
3. Has anyone been successful with IUI and no meds? This will be the first IUI with both and I don't want to get too excited.
Thank you ladies for all of your support!

Beth - how are you...I hope you and the family are doing well...I am finding your comment to be so true at this stage...It just seems like it has been all of a sudden and things are cramping and feeling pressure and it just feels weird...Talk to you soon.

2nd IVF Cycle - We had Triplets November 19

Hi there,
This is my first IVF cycle, I had three day 5 embryos transferred on Valentines Day, Two in Compacted Stage, and one in the 9 cell stage. Very discouraged because none went to Blastocyst stage.
I am now waiting for my pregnancy test on Saturday Feb 23rd!
I took two HPT since i am on day 5 post transfer, still negative, I am so depressed.
Trying to think positive, but preparing for a negative blood test.
Nervous, have bit all my nails off. Scared...Doubtful.

Jenfrancis - I've been there and done the same thing...I had 2 5 day embryos transferred on 7-16-2007...That was a Monday...I felt different with that entire cycle...However curiosity got this best of this cat and on Saturday which I was 5 days post transfer I tested with an HPT I was tired of waiting...I also received a BFN and was crushed the rest of the time and figured why even go and have my Beta done on the 26th of July...I still got up early that morning and drove my 1 1/2 hours to the RE's office and waited the WHOLE ENTIRE DAY....I tested at like 6 in the morning and didn't receive my results until 4:48pm...I had convinced myself that it was true and I was not pregnant...Low and behold we started with a beta of 336 which is a nice and high starting beta...So hang in there and try not to test anymore...You never know what the beta will say...I am now 4-6 weeks from having my baby boy....Praying that you receive a BFP!!!...Hang in there girl

Welcome Jenfrancis
You tested too early,I did the same thing-tested 5 days after 5 d transfer-BFN and 2 days later-very faint BFP.
Never heard about compacted stage( ).What is it?!
Don't lose hope just yet,9 cell embie on a day 5-it's not the best,but miracles happen every day!Just wait for the blood test and good luck!
