Chaffin - I think it is awesome your DH is so involved and interested.

Margie - hoping everything works out perfect tomorrow.

Shan - got a couple more hours til appointment.

Hey guys- ultrasound went well with my friend today. Measuring 8w5d and heartbeat was in the 180s. Baby was moving around too!

So update!!

Just got done with my ultrasound. And good news.

My lining looks great, and I have two nice sized follicles, one on both sides. The left is the bigger one. He gave me numbers in centimeters so don't really remember the size, I think it was around 1.6 on right and 1.8 on left. So that is 16mm and 18mm. He my left was good to go, So he gave me the prescription for the trigger and told me to do it tonight at around 9, which is good since that is when I get off work. And then go in for the IUI first thing in the morning. Again perfect day, because my husband is off.

So I am excited!

I am CD10 today, so was not expecting this. I am having some ovulation pains though.

Edited: While, glad to know the baby is looking good!

Jesk - I guess we'll be cycle buddies. Good luck with you trigger shot.

While - that's great news. I'm glad to hear baby is growing nicely.

AFM - DH sorted out his schedule conflict so he should be good to go. My lining looked good and I had one follicle at 23 mm and another almost as large all on the left side. My right side wasn't really growing at all. We're booked in for the IUI tomorrow. I'm really hoping this works this month

margie and jess - GOOD LUCK with the IUI's - sounds REALLY promising!

WHILE - awesome news about the heartbeat.... it is thrilling!

AFM - trying the old natural way this month (but I added letrazole without monitoring so I don't know how many follicles I have - prob 2). I have been taking inositol too this month which is supposed to help women with PCOS.
So pressed and some baby dancing is my week! I am keeping my expectations really low though....

Good luck to all os us wherever we are on our journeys!

@jesk and @margie - you guys are cycle buddies! That's so fun. It's nice to not be the only one! (-: Fingers crossed for both of you!

Good morning ladies,

Bens - FX for you. I hope you get your BFP.

While - You're right it's a lot nicer having a buddy for the wait.

Jesk - when are you doing your IUI?

AFM - I had my IUI this morning. DH's number were really good. I think they were the best we've seen so far actually. I had the same person as my first IUI, which was nice. I'm hoping my temp spikes tomorrow since it dropped a lot this morning. I'm trying to maintain my positivity. She also told me that if we wanted to we would likely be able to get into their IVF program that starts in January. FX that we won't need it but I'm glad we won't have to wait a crazy amount of time if we do.

Margie - Glad your IUI went well this morning--I was thinking about you. Encouraging that your DH had fantastic counts!! This is going to be your month!!

Jeska--Good luck to you! How did your IUI go today?

Bens - I know it probably seems like a bummer to do it the "old fashioned way", but sometimes getting your hopes up almost creates more stress. Hopefully your expectations won't be too high, stress low, and it will happen!

Shan - How did your U/S go? Can't wait to hear!!

While - So glad that your U/S went well and the baby's heart rate is nice and strong :) When is your next scheduled one?

I have an ultrasound on Thursday and will have my last appt with my fertility clinic. I'm so disappointed to leave them--I think I'll cry. We've been with them for so long and they've been wonderful, but it's also a nice "graduation" onto the next phase. This will be my 11-week U/S. Chaffins--I'm like you girl, super nauseous all the time, but the meds have helped with the vomiting. Hopefully it starts to settle soon!!

Hi ladies! I have SOOOOO much to catch up on. Holy moly! I was gone for a while. To top it off, we can home from vacay to our poor dog in back pain, later to find out a ruptured disk. He became paralyzed and everything. it was AWFUL. He had spinal surgery yesterday...yes we are those crazy pet owners. You tell a pregnant women her dog either needs surgery to be put down, well, you know what happens! We did his surgery. We are dirt poor and in debt now, but our baby is here still.

I need to read through and catch up now!

LS - I really can't blame you about your dog. I've paid to have my cat hospitalized twice because of urinary crystals. It was either that or put him down and I couldn't bare to do it. I'm glad your little girl is still growing well.

Cate - Thanks for the kind thoughts and belief. I'm keeping my fingers crossed this month. I'm looking forward to hearing about your U/S later this week.
