re: *OFFICIAL* Fertility Treatment Thread (Clomid, IVF, IUI)

Quoting Mrs.O♥:" Just got out of our counseling appointment and it changed DHs mind! He is okay to be open with our child   now I can make the scrapbook I want to make"

Awesome news! I love the scrap book idea. I'm thinking about the same thing.

CD 14 and negative OPK. I'm getting nervous. I hope I didn't miss my surge. Me stressing about it probably isn't helping.

Are you testing twice a day?

Are they monitoring you as well?

Quoting Amelia Margaret:" Are you testing twice a day?"

No. My ARNP said I only had to do it once. I'm not having any symptoms yet though... I'm just anxious I think. I typically O on CD 16 or 17 based on past cycles.

Awww you're just to early then. It's perfectly understandable though, considering the situation.

I'm worried that I might waste $325 sperm!   Blah. I wonder if they can re-store it once it's been out in the tank?

I'm kinda considering testing again tonight... idk... I usually have a positive result 2 days in a row though, so I doubt I'd miss it.

I always test twice a day when I get close. I just use the cheapies. Of course I have NO idea where I am in my cycle right now. Only that I haven't ovulated yet.

This gets me worried too. Ours is $625 a vial, and we must have two in storage for our IUI. I'm hoping it takes on the first try so we can save the second. I really don't want to spend more money!!

Right?! $625 per vial!? Is that washed?
I'm hoping for both of us it only takes one try!

Quoting nurselindsey:" Right?! $625 per vial!? Is that washed? I'm hoping for both of us it only takes one try! "

$498 unwashed...which we will probably do, my nurse said they can wash it. Does your donor have any reported pregnancies?

Wow. So expensive. I think California Cryo was about that or more. Yuck! DH about cried when he wrote the check.

I'm the first recipient. So I guess we'll see   A sperm count of 70.7 million mobile sperm is a good sign, I think

Yeah! Crazy expensive! Ours is from Fairfax... I'll cry too I'm sure. I just have to stop stressing out over the fact that if this try doesn't work, we'll have to wait a while to save.

That is a great sign!!! I actually don't know our donors count but we are ordering tomorrow, so I'm sure I'll know then  

So TMI alert...
I feel much better about me feeling like I missed my surge. I see this this evening



I tested again and it was negative. I think we're getting close! I need to stop stressing.

Can you try again with the other vial?

So true, it is what it is. You can't change it. Just take it one step at a time.
