TTC Check-In 9/28

How's it going?

[JustJudy]

I have my IUI this afternoon. As mentioned in GKU WTO check in, this cycle's O pain is no joke. I finally had to take something last night just so I could fall asleep.

Let's hope that's a good sign.

DW had a follicle ultrasound this morning. We have one at 18, and a second at 15. She will take one more shot of 100mil Follistim, trigger tomorrow night, and then they will insem Thursday morning.

We had a bit of an issue with our insurance today. They said that our last two IUIs aren't covered. But covered the first two, so I spent 20 mins on the phone to find out that they were "most likely" a fluke, and that they will resubmit them especially since we have coverage. We have only used $299 of our $15,000 which is fantastic news. What is TTC without some curveballs?

Good news is that we got smileys that DW is actually ovulating. (RE had doubts). We will try next month. It doesn't look like she will have weaned O yet so we may try unmedicated.

JustJudy, the O pains are pretty bad huh? I heard that can be a thing with Femara. I have some pretty sharp cramps about 4 hours after my IUI, some the morning of but they weren't too bad.

As for me, I'm 5pdiui and had some good nausea this morning which is not normal and lots of low abdominal tinges and cramps. No clue if this means anything or if I'm just hoping it implantation... But I sure hope it is!

It went great. 30 mil are swimming around in there so dear lord let a healthy one find the egg. Haha. I'm taking it easy for the rest of the day. Maybe will take to dog for a walk later.
I always get O pain, but the femara definitely took it up a couple of notches! I was not prepared for that, but it seems to be done for now. I hope the rest of your TWW flies by!

30 Mil? That's an awesome number!!!
Swim little dudes!!!

30 MIL that's amazing! One of them is bound to make it.

I had my IUI yesterday. One big fat follicle at 22 measured on Monday, and a maybe-will-get-big-in-time second at 12. I go back and forth between feeling hopeful and pessimistic. This was number 6. Post-wash, sperm was 8 million (a much lower number than we've had with this donor before).

If it doesn't work, we might talk about IVF, but more likely, will go for up to 8 IUIs before making the jump, especially since my wife is between jobs right now, and this is all out-of-pocket for us.

klake42, Good luck!! I hope this is your month. Only one of those 8 million need to find it's way.

It is hard to stay positive though, even so early after the IUI. It's such a mind game in the TWW. Just try to stay as stress free as you can, and keep your feet warm. I just learnt this cycle that it's good to keep your feet as warm as possible during the TWW. I had no clue! Needless to say, my feet haven't been without slippers since we got home Thursday night last week.

9dpiui today and I did something silly this morning and poas... Of course is was a BFN, it's way too early to be testing. Especially considering last time we got our positive I had a very faint line on day 11.
At least I know the trigger is out of my system.
Now I will wait to test again on Monday and see what we get. Hoping for that faint positive again!

Good luck everyone! Still waaaaay to early dani! I'm crossing my fingers for you.
