Not sure how I missed the link but I have a lot to get caught up on!!!

Well IUI #3 is done! Pre Wash 173 million sperm! WOOHOO that is the highest it's been since we started trying. The first SA we did in February 2013 was 140 mil then it went down to like 110 mil in August 2013. Didn't do one again until our first IUI in February 2015 and it was I can't remember... LOL! However post wash we got 30 mil. IUI #2 we only had 80 mil Pre wash and 50 mil post wash. IUI #3 we had 173 mil pre wash and 66 mil post wash. One follicle had already ruptured and one was actually starting to. I was surprised, didn't even know that was possible. I thought both would go at the same time, same day at least but I didn't have any cramping until the day after. However I still haven't had a dramatic temp jump either, I am going today to get my 7DPO testing to see if they even released eggs. Feeling pretty down cause this was my last IUI for a few months, however I am going to enjoy the no pills, needles, or dr appts. Praying the natural way works now that his SA is wayyyyy better than before!

Now let me read and get caught up!

I am confused. I had what I thought to be a positive opk this morning. Both lines were light but the same color.
Then I took another opk about 20 minutes ago and it was negative. I have uploaded the pics if you wanna check them out.

kelley828, did you wait a minimum of 4 hours from the last time you urinated before you took the second test? also, drinking lots of fluid apparently dilutes your urine to the point where a positive result likely won't show.

It was 3 1/2 hour hold. I have come to the conclusion that the 6:30 am test was a faulty test. As that was the only test that had a light control line. All of the other ones that I took out of this batch had a very dark control line. So must of been a faulty one. I will test again later or wait till the morning.

I am a little late to the party but I thought I would join you ladies.

This is cycle 15 ttc #1 :/

I am currently 9dpo/cd 24 and I am expecting af to come cd 27/28 (cycles normally 26-27 days). I have so many symptoms it is crazy! Since I have been doing this for awhile I often compare my cycles to see if my current cycle is similar to other cycles we thought we were pregnant (April 14, Nov 14). April 14 I had what i believe was a chemical pregnancy. November was suspect as well but never got a +hpt. This cycle is crazy similar to these two previous cycles!

The main symptoms right now are:
Crazy vivid dreams since 1dpo.
Sore bbs, growing?
nausea last 3 days
increased appetite 2 days before nausea set in
biggest symptom- exhausted I am going to bed around 7/8 pm and sleeping till my alarm @ 5 am. I normally sleep 10/11 pm-5am. This has happened the last three days. I even took a nap on Sunday from 3-5 and still went to bed @ 7:30!!

I am super impatient so I have taken 2 hpts (7dpo & 9dpo) so far and both negative.

If we are not pregnant this month we have to go get husband tested and I might have to get further testing (I have already had some testing done and everything seems ok besides me needing to loss weight- hormones ok and I ovulate regularly).

If we are pregnant this month our edd is 1/4/16.

Wishing sticky sticky baby dust to all!!!

Trickyfoxter710, you and I are at the same place in our cycle. I am cd24 and approx 10 dpo (I don't know the exact day I ovulated-I used opk but I was testing in the morning, which I later found out is a bad time of day to test. I also drink A LOT of water/tea during the day which apparently also decreases the changes of getting a positive result. This is our second month ttc #2. I have been having so many symptoms in the past week, I absolutely feel like I must be pregnant. Pretty sure I even felt implantation cramps the other day. The last couple of days, I have been more tired than usual and my back/legs seem achy. headaches, slightly sensitive bbs, urinating more than I drink and increased cf. too many symptoms to ignore. my cycles run between 27-29 days (28 is most common)
I think I will test tomorrow morning, even though it is 5 days early. I am using the FR 5 days sooner, so hoping it will pick it up if I am pregnant. I know I should wait a few days longer however this wait is absolutely KILLING ME!!
It would be great to see a whole bunch of this month!!!

Update on my DH, he seen his specialist yesterday and it turns out it's not as bad as what the ER doctor had told us last week. He does have a miniscule Varicocele but it's so small that it shouldn't cause any issues and will hopefully clear up on it's own, no surgery required. However, this isn't the cause of all his pain and swelling. He has Prostatitis, so he prescribed a 3 week course of antibiotics and has to go back and see the specialist again in a month for a re-evaluation and he will also have an SA done at that time. that his SA will come back good next month and that this medication will do the trick and clear all of this up.

As for TTC, it's put on hold until this clears up. So I'm out for this month and possibly next month, depending on whether the medication clears up his problem.

Bookgirl87 - that everything will work itself out quickly so that you can get back to ttc.

bookgirl- at least it is not all bad news! Hoping your hubby has a speedy recovery and you two can get back on track

update- Spotting last night (minimal and brownish) hoping IB but probably not since this happens right before AF comes :/ Cried myself to sleep last night.

Horrible cramping this morning so expecting af any moment now even though it will be a day or 2 early if it comes now (25 day cycle!! )

Hoping everyone else has better luck them us. I told DH last night that if we are not this cycle that I want to stop trying and get lap-band or a puppy! lol Can we say emotional much!!!!

& to all!

Trickyfoxter - don't count yourself out until you've gotten a day or so after your expected period. I've heard its very common to mistake implantation spotting and cramping for your period. for you!!

Last night (at 6 days before expected missed period) I just couldn't handle the suspense so I decided to test (with just a dollarama "early results" test) even though I knew it was too early, but hoping by some freak chance that it would show up. I got . Even though I knew that would be the case as it was SO early, I was heart broken when that second line never appeared. Kind of crashed my spirits a little. I kind of wish I hadn't of done it. I'm going to wait until Saturday morning (3 days early) and try again. I'll be using a FRER for that test.
