Some of you know we had a really crappy attempt with our IUI. Poor timing with the trigger due to not soon enough monitoring appointment, donor sperm count was below the minimum recommended threshold, thawed sperm vial sat on the counter for nearly an hour, etc. I was also having major, major emotional turmoil because it was way more expensive than I predicted, and we weren't going to have money for another attempt.
However, 10 dpiui (8dpo according to my chart) I got a definite line on a frer. I was afraid about feeling sure about it because even though I had gotten negatives for two days in a row before, I thought there was a chance it was still the trigger.
I feel pretty confident trusting now, because my second beta (14dpo today) is 395 which is quadrupled from my first beta 2.5 days ago rather than doubled!! My progesterone is also more than twice the normal limit for first trimester. Has me raising my eyebrow a little since I showed 2 very mature follicles at time of trigger. Will have an ultrasound next week. It hasn't really hit me, even though I've been puking my guts out since 11DPO! I think it will finally hit me after the ultrasound.
I can't even describe how blessed I feel for getting so lucky, and I hope I don't cause any frustration for those of you who have been trying for so much longer and deserve this so much more than I do. I hope that this gives some hope to those of you after you have a negative feeling cycle attempt that it doesn't take ideal circumstances to be successful!
