Vic I've always gone in at 8am too, dropped sample off, gone for a cuppa then back at 9am for insemination. Don't forget to ask them what the sample strength and motility was post wash and spinning as they only normally say 'good' unless you ask for specifics! You know us, we like to obsess over stats :)

Yay congratulations Metal! Brilliant news!

Glad you're getting on with your life Lindsay, 2 hols sound fab! Where are you going?

non differences yet again. Been told to take 50 gonal f to grow the egg(s) and then take this other drug for a few days to stop it being released prematurely, then take the trigger. Apparently we go in at 8am, dh produces sample and then they spin it down etc and then it goes back in around 11am. That sound right?!

Fingers crossed for you lil x

I haven't actually heard back about the job vic, but no, I wouldn't be taking it now as it was only a one-year contract.

Lindsay81 · 30/03/2015 19:45

Hi vic Yeah, I'm OK. Just getting on with things really, new job is taking up a lot of my time. We've kind of fallen back into the way things were before TTC since finding out IVF is around the corner. DTD once or twice a week, no vitamins and potions (apart from folic acid), booked to go on two holidays over the next 3 months!

It feels good... que sera, sera and all that!

Will be nice if that TWW happens on your holiday- apparently that's what worked for my sister both times. BTW, I really LOLed at "Sahara foof" this AM. LOLOLOLOLOL!

lildottie · 30/03/2015 19:26

hi all. I'm good Vic, still ridiculously busy but its taking my mind off the tww at least!

Nonconformist34 · 30/03/2015 15:16

How could I forget you Vic?? You can always PM me if you loose track of me. Gonal f was every day from cd5 to cd10 ( I did mine morning), trigger shot 9pm cd10, cd11 free from drugs, cd12 insemination. I've always been on 75 of gonal f, but this cycle cd9 and 10 upped to 150 to make sure the follie was ready as it hit over the weekend. At my mid-way scans on cd9 I peed on an ovulation stick which was negative each time. If you get a positive surge, they would just bring trigger and insemination early. Sounds more complicated than it is!

Hope we're on a BFP roll on this thread!

Wow it got exciting here over the last few hours! Great news metal! You were on the verge of giving up weren't you? so am I everything crossed this works out for you. I take it you won't be taking that full time job now?!

non I just read the iui thread and was a bit sad you didn't reply to me, but its here instead! Phew! So it might not be 2 weeks til insem then... Do you have the gonal f for so long in the eve and then another one in the morn after about 7 days? Been so flipping long since my planning appointment don't remember a flipping thing!

lil and Lindsay, hope you're both ok, and anyone else here x

Thanks ladies, I still can't believe it. But the FRER has a very strong second line, so it looks like I'm definitely pregnant again, pretty much one year on from my mmc! Now we just have to hope this one sticks...

As for what we did this month, it was the first month I've been taking inositol, and second month on CoQ10, plus folic acid of course and soy isoflavones from CD4-8. Also had cut down on booze and been doing low carb for a while. In terms of dtd we only managed CD10 &12, and then CD14 & 15 with ovulation on CD15 (earliest ever for me).

non that sounds very promising for you, hopefully you'll get your BFP next!

Fx for you too vic, as you can see from my example it's not always necessary to dtd lots to be successful. And if not then at least you won't have to wait too long for your IUI, like lil said.

Lindsay81 · 30/03/2015 12:57

Yaay metalhead! Congratulations! Xoxo Yes, give us some deets!
Good things come in threes so let's get one more ! :-)

Nonconformist34 · 30/03/2015 12:28

Vic I would maybe ring them up Friday to book in for Monday? I could email my clinic or ring Saturday morning over the weekend.

lildottie · 30/03/2015 12:09

congrats metal that's fantastic. fx for a sticky bean.

Vic sounds like you should call on cd3 and pretend to be cd1!

Nonconformist34 · 30/03/2015 11:19

Wow congrats metal that's definitely a pink line!!!! How exciting for you both, fantastic news for the thread (you must fill us in of all your details you did this month).

Just had my insemination this morning. DH had a 99 million post wash count with 80% motility so very happy!

Vic my first baseline scan is cd5, normally mid-scan cd9, insemination has always fallen cd12 for each three rounds. I normally have a 27/28 day cycle ovulating day 14/15. I think the drugs tend to make you ovulate early.

Metalhead · 30/03/2015 11:08

I'm almost scared to say it out loud ladies - but I think I might have a BFP!! Totally shocked, I have no symptoms whatsoever. It's still very early days at 10dpo, but I honestly thought this day would never come. Just rushed out to get a FRER for later to confirm it, but the line on the IC is actually pretty clear now and definitely pink!

TTC 10 months plus, supporting each other and staying positive. Another BFP one of course :-)

Now due on a weekend, presume calling the clinic on cd1 to arrange scan will be ok!

non. How you doing chuck? Question. How long approx is it from baseline scan to insemination? Trying to work out approx dates around our holiday, which will hopefully be in 2ww. I guess if gonna be few days earlier its looking more likely it will work out fine.

on the plus side starting iui is nearer if you ovd earlier Vic!

victoria401 · 29/03/2015 14:44

After deciding we would really try hard this month its not really worked out. I seem to have ovd earlier than expected, probably that rogue follicle on my cd3 baseline scan! Had niggley pains cd8-neg opk. Faint line on opk cd10, niggley pains. Darker line cd11 plus copious ewcm. First time dtd. Cd13 faint opk, dried up Sahara foof, 2nd time dtd. Cd14 today and its all over!?

Sorry for the bfn roxy Sad

Welcome mrschatty sorry to hear you've been having trouble making a baby too. At least you've started the tests and hopefully you'll get some answers soon. We'll be here to hold your hand!

Just been to the dentist and can't feel my face! Urgh hate this feeling! Its currently my fertile window so need to force dh kicking and screaming into dtd. Sigh, wish he was always up for it! Been having a few sex dreams lately, none involving dh of course!

Roxy1212 · 26/03/2015 13:57

Excellent news lildottie :D

Hi mrschatty - it's a shame you had to miss the fertile window but it's definitely better to find out what's going on with Mr. Chatty in the long run!! Good luck with your 21 days bloods xx
