IUI done this morning

[scienceteacher79]

Well, I think that whole "scared I won't ovulate" thing was just a fear. I am pretty sure I ovulated/am ovulating. With as many eggs as I had, I still didn't think it would be like this. I am in some serious pain. My entire abdomen is so bloated. My E2 levels finally leveled off from 2805 Thursday to 2810 Friday. I triggered Friday night and was feeling fine until this morning. Now, don't get me wrong, I was bloated and crampy this morning. But after the IUI it all went downhill. I was really crampy and it started to hurt a bit around 11am. We were in the doc office for a good while because everyone and their momma apparently had to have an u/s or IUI this morning. I have NEVER seen it like that! Anyway, finally got home and went straight to bed. I have slept on and off for the last 4 hours. Only being awoken by sharp stabbing pains in my ovaries. When I sneeze or cough (I am getting sick) it feels like knives stabbing me. This suckssss!

Hubby's count were way lower than I thought they would be. 60 million count and 30 million after wash. I am not happy with that. His sperm counts were in the 80-100 million range both times we had one done. I don't know what is going on. It is very upsetting when we have such a great shot and then he has a low count. UGH! Oh well. Whatever. I am going to lay back down. I am in some serious pain still. Just wanted to thank all of you who have sent notes and prayers :) We need them! This is the last try for at least a few months. Hugs and SSBD to all.

PS: What does ovulation for other people feel like? I wanna make sure everything is "normal" :)

Yes, they are required to pay for IVF in my state. So its just a matter of taking a few blood tests, meeting their numbers (which shouldn't be a problem) and doing the deed.
I know it is expensive but, let's face it, if it works you will be so happy!
Good luck to you too and let's make it a Happy New Year!!

[scienceteacher79]

Good luck!! Does your insurance cover IVF? Just wondering because I have no idea how I am going to come up with my share of the money if we decide to do it next year.

[peppypeep]

Well I met with the doc and I'm on go for IVF!!!  Will start in January and do transfer in February.  Wish me luck!!!

[peppypeep]

Thanks for the note.  I will meet on th 14th with the doc to discuss ivf.  Looking forward to it. In the meanting, we tried old skool and I'm 6dpo.  haha.
Good luck to you!!  

[scienceteacher79]

Peppypeep - I am so sorry you got AF. That stinks!! Hugs to you and let me know what the doc says. I am meeting my doc in Dec too to "discuss our options"...whatever :) Hugs to you!

[peppypeep]

Well I got AF so I'm out for this cycle. Will meet with Doctor in December to discuss IVF. Really want to do IVF and can't wait!!!!

Dear Peppypeep,

I think its best you check 12DPIUI...i did mine too on the 9th,10th and 11th day and got a BFN....And then on the 13DPIUI i got my period. Dont mean to scare you..But its good to check atleast 12DPIUI i think. All the very best to you. God bless

[peppypeep]

I'm 9dpiui and I tested at noon on a First Respons and got bfn.  It might still be too early for me.  I am hoping to see something tomorrow morning.  If not, it will probably be official.  ......sigh.....
Good luck to everyone and sorry for  the false surprise...

[peppypeep]

I'm up early and tested this morning twice.  One was bfn and one had a super duper faint line!  I will look at it again but I'm pretty sure that is what I saw.  I will take your advice scienceteacher79 and test this evening.  Really hope I can get bfp!!!

[scienceteacher79]

I got a clearer faint positive at night than with FMU!

[peppypeep]

So maybe I'm overreacting but I just tested on hpt and saw a very, very, very faint line.
I am 8dpiui and its about 7pm.  I wanted to wait for tomorrow but was curious.
Could this mean BFP??!!??  Last time I had a super faint line on 9dpiui in the morning.
Can't wait to test again tomorrow and see if there is faint line, hopefully more visible.
My hubby said he clearly saw the faint line as well. It was almost like a shadow and could only be seen in strong light.  In any case, I'm pleased!  ******magical sticky baby dust to everyone*********  Yay!

[scienceteacher79]

Thanks Peppypeep!

usuk - you SHOULD market that combo kit/choc idea!

[peppypeep]

So glad that the pain is gone.   I'm really excited about your faint line!   You should probably test again today just to make sure.  Yay!  
Well, I'm 6dpiui and getting close to being able to test.  I had a little crampiness when I woke up and my temp was 98.6 -pretty normal!  My uterus still feels "full" so hopefully a good sign!  
Good luck and sticky baby dust to everyone!!

I have a new POAS system. I pee in a cup, and start with a cheap test (old school). Then if there are any second lines that are too close for me to call (either OPK or HPT) then I wip out a digital and use the pee twice in one go. But if it's obvious there is nothing cooking then I have only wasted a cheapie. They should sell combo kits. And then should come with chocolate.

[scienceteacher79]

Mariana - sorry, I seriously can't control myself...   :(  Its a compulsion.

[Mariana101]

When is your blod test? DON'T DO HPT!!!!!! I hate themmmmmm!!!!

[scienceteacher79]

Pain is gone. Constipated to all hell. AF cramps today. Haven't temped in months :) So, I have no idea what they are :) Thought (think?) I may have a very very faint + on FRER but I am a crazy person so who knows... it is in my profile.

[peppypeep]

So I'm 5dpiui. Some lower abdominal pain, feeling tired on and off, a little moody. Took my temp this a.m., was 98.3 - so maybe that is my normal?  I believe in the implantation dip - it happened to me last time when I was preggo.  I went down to 97.3.  
hope everyone is doing well.  Scienceteacher how are you doing, is the pain gone?

[peppypeep]

I am feeling good. Still have very little energy.  Just resting right now.  Hope you hubby kiss and make up.  All is quiet for now.  Another Monday awaits.

[scienceteacher79]

Yeah - I will just hang in there :) I lost my mind on my hubby tonight (it was justified) so I am just sitting here fuming...

How are you feeling?

[peppypeep]

Well obviously it you get your period you won't need to see him.  That's weird that he makes you test on your own before giving you a blood test.  Again, just give it a few more days and then test. Good luck!!!!!

[scienceteacher79]

My doc doesn't do blood tests unless you get a BFP on a test. I don't know what I will do.

[peppypeep]

I'm sorry you are still having pain.  That stinks.  Don't test on hpt yet!!  You will thank yourself later.  Wait until at least 10 dpiui.  That's only three more days (Wednesday morning)!  However, you may only see a faint line that you can only see in the brightest light.  Test again on 11dpiui. You should have an answer by then if you just can't wait until your blood test.  

I guess by this schedule, I should be able to see something faint in one week!!
Yay!  Can't wait!  Who says you have to wait the whole two weeks!!!
Good luck!  *******baby dust to you**********

[scienceteacher79]

I am 7dpIUI and sometimes the pain is better from the OHSS and today has been icky. I am dreading going back to work tomorrow. My kids are about a week behind now and there is so much catch up to do...ugh. But I resisted the urge to buy any HPT today - but only because I refused to go shopping :) So, I am hanging in there...
