Cycle/Month: 10
CD/DPO: 14/3
Timing: -3,O(IUI),+1
Testing: 3/14
RRCS: I'm a bit concerned about the timing we were told by my RE. He said no sex after Friday when the IUI was Monday at noon and then have sex again on Tuesday. That seems like we missed an awful lot of my FW, which make the timing of the IUI that much more crucial. There are no MFI issues so I think I may ask him about it if we do IUI next month.
GTKY: what movie, tv, or book character are you most like? Why? Personality, actions, or looks? Hmmm, I really have no idea.
sleepymonkey My RE does the same and we have no MFI either. We can't have sex within 2 days before IUI (but can't sustain longer than 5 days prior) and then have to sustain until after the second IUI. In other words we triggered on Friday, I ovulated on Saturday same day as IUI#1 and on Sunday had IUI#2. He advised us earlier in the cycle not to have sex beyond Thursday morning (expecting IUI on Saturday based on prior cycles). Then after IUI#2 on Sunday he told us to have sex that afternoon/night but anything free that wouldn't be necessary from TTC perspective. I feel the same as you but I believe it's just coming from a perspective of wanting a ton of swimmers at the gates ready to go for IUIs.
ETA: I'm seeing that he tells you to wait until Tuesday and have sex again? Ok yeah why not Monday after IUI?

kleigh, I think the waiting until Tuesday is what I was most surprised about. I can understand wanting a bunch of strong swimmers for the IUI but I wouldn't think sex in the evening after the IUI would be a problem at all. And since we both work (and get up early for work), we didn't have sex until Tuesday night, almost 36 hours after the IUI. I think if we go for IUI#2, I'll take his advice of waiting 2 days before but once the IUI is done, we'll be having sex that night.

Cycle/Month: 13/14
CD/DPO: 36/9
Timing: Time will tell.
Testing Plans: March 10
RRCS: My temp is slowly dropping and not recovering. I know it's still high but all those positive feelings H gave me are starting to dissolve. Luckily, I have an OB appointment today so I can bring it up.
GTKY: I feel like I'm a lot like Jane The Virgin. Basically in every way except only one person is in love with me and my life is not a telenovella.

**lurking** anecdote (we do not have MFI) - for my IUI#1, had sex the night before because I didn't think I was going to ovulate so soon. Count for that IUI was 10M, post wash. For IUI#2, we had sex three days before. Count for that IUI was 10M, post wash - exactly the same. This IUI I'm going to have all the sex.

Cycle/Month: C2/M4
CD/DPO: CD39/12DPO
Timing: +1
Testing: another BFN this morning, so if no AF by then will retest on Sunday
RRCS: bleh.
GTKY: what movie, tv, or book character are you most like? Why? Personality, actions, or looks? I always tease DH that I'm a combo of Claire&Gloria from Modern family. (Definitely personality wise, I look nothing like them).

Cycle/Month: 9/11 AL
CD/DPO: 34/10
Timing: -3, -1, +1
Testing: I doubt I'll need to.
RRCS: I had a huge temp drop today (almost a full degree). I woke up with a stuffy nose so mouth breathing could have something to do with it but that's a big temp drop to only be because of that. So I'm expecting AF today or maybe tomorrow. I hope I'm wrong, but this is what usually happens.
Timing: IUI today, but my gut (and dried up CM and already slowly rising temps) says I ovulated on Tuesday, before the trigger, so then BD -2 and O
Testing: betas aren't until 3/19
RRCS: none of my signs are matching up so I'm anxious about this IUI being too late. Last month, I apparently was showing signs of ovulation on the ultrasound before I got a positive OPK so we did the IUI that day before we could trigger.
GTKY: what movie, tv, or book character are you most like? Why? Personality, actions, or looks? I have no idea
sleepymonkey we haven't gotten much "homework" guidance from the RE. Just after my appointment on Monday they said to have sex that night, and we got around to it on Tuesday morning. And he didn't say anything today. We also have no MFI. DH has had stellar numbers both IUIs, 27 million, and apparently he didn't even abstain yesterday. So I say have all the sex

Well, the OB doubts there are any issues on my end as far as why we aren't getting pregnant but I'm getting some blood work done to eliminate things like thyroid problems. So we shall see.

W April is a strong character. She's my favorite. littlelion I hope those donuts showed up sleepymonkey that seems odd that your RE said no sex on those two FW days... Just saw your response to kleighttc. kayladawn91 sorry for the temp drop. Big ((hugs))
Cycle: 20/11 AL CD/DPO: 20/1 Timing: -4, -3, and O Testing: no plans RRCS: all signs point to O yesterday, thankfully with a temp spike this morning. GTKY: no clue
