I'm glad your RE is being very proactive in his approach to this cycle Tara! Here's hoping that the injectables do the trick!

Just did my follistim injection. I'm a pro at this now lol. It comes with a dial up injector pen, similar to an insulin pen. The pharmacy was so super busy that I was really overwhelmed with the pharmacist showing me how to use it...thank the good lord for youtube!

Tara I love that your doctor is adjusting protocol instead of just saying lets move on to IVF. :-) Google and YouTube are life savers! Every time I swipe my card I cringe. I am so over this infertility BS. I have my follicle scan today and IUI Friday I'm sure, I am just ready for January to get here. I have no desire whatsoever to do anymore treatments unless its IVF.

Athena, you still bleeding?

Hi Liss!!!

Good Luck in your TWW Jess!

Tara - I really hope this is it & you don't have to go the IVF route since I know it's expensive.

I had brown spotting yesterday and have bleeding today. I'm super confused because my temp is still up. It usually goes way, way down the morning that I start. Oh well, onward to the next cycle! Calling the doc to see about going for my day 3 blood draw on Friday.

Yes still bleeding, pretty heavily and clotty. I guess it ended as quickly as it began.

Wow, dh finally had an epiphany!! He was talking about how he loved that my sex drive was back up & just being more intimate all around .. I asked I he noticed what was different. He had a light bulb moment LOL he finally realized it. Where he's been off work & helping soooo much with Jace & the house I'm not wore out from the time I wake up til I go to bed. He saw the direct link between him helping out giving me more time & energy to spend on him!!!!

@Jess, that is so funny!!! I tell my husband that all the time. When we have our goddaughter he does help, but when it is just us and the 15 year old.. Not so much LOL

This is my first post and I'm hoping there is someone who can calm my crazy. I am day 11dpo on my 3rd IUI... With this one I have tried to stay off the internet... I swear if you asked me about the last two I had diagnosed myself using forums. LOL! This is my first time TTC and to be honest didn't think it would be this hard. Its a little harder and expensive for me and my partner. I think we are struggling just because everything is normal. I get my AF on a regular basis and have been all of my adult life. I swear its so hard and I know I'm preaching to the choir... Every ailment I swear I felt/feel like I'm pregnant. The first BFN was traumatizing... I just knew it worked and when I got my AF (of course at work) I was devastated. The second time it didn't hurt so bad... I just don't want to become numb. I have read thinking positively really helps. Even though it hasn't help me yet. Some days I feel it some I don't, do others feel that way? I don't know if its the medication. This is my first medicated cycle. My other two cycles were natural. My doctor thought from a cost perspective we should try natural because all the test came back normal. Its a very mentally draining process... i hate the TWW and we want this so bad... How does everyone else bypass the time? And even though I am truly happy for my friends and colleagues... If one more person tells me they are pregnant I will scream... I am genuinely happy for them but they weren't trying it just happened, or this is baby #4. Can I just get One UGH! Its weird whenever I feel anything I run to the bathroom to do a check just to make sure AF didn't come... This medications has me cramping but I didn't know if its the medication or if its implantation. See my Crazy just won't stop!

Brimsugt - goodluck! We're all crazy during the tww, and there's no magic solution to stop it.

Jessica - yes, it does help so much when you they pitch in around the house!

I'm going in for my FSH test tomorrow on CD2, since they close early on Friday, and I have something else to do Friday morning.
