yup this will be try #4....if she ever gets here! and I have good thoughts about it since I will be monitored this time...I'm too retarded to poas (pee on a stick) to get my surge to detect ovulation haha...see losing iq points for the kid by the moment!

Su on here (Squeezan) also did IUI...she's just past 12 weeks now. But she is in the UK so procedure for DS is a little differnent. But she and I are pretty much the only ones going that route now....I know some other ladies did iui here, but I think they used hubby swimmers.

Have you picked a bank to go with? Are you thinking about an annon donor or a id release? I did annon only because it wasn't a priority to me...I wanted characteristics over whether my kid will MAYBE find out anything in 18 yrs...just my opinion though.

Does it *need* to be that high before you go to ER? I know when mine got a little too high (3300 3 days before ER) they lowered my dose and it still went up more. Did the RE sound concerned??? I'll be praying for you... but I bet the drugs you'll still be taking today and tomorrow (?) along with the basic follie development will make it shoot up more.

Hang in there. Let us know when you are scheduled to do your trigger... tomorrow??? what time??

I am sure this will be it for you. It is really good that you can got pg without any meds or ultrasounds. What do you mean you cant detect your surge, do you not know how to do it?
Yeah, Su orginally invited me to this thread months ago. I just felt out of place b/c i am not having treatment yet. I saw her PG story. That is so awesome. I know she was really getting down with all the BFN's.
I was looking at the bank in CA. Where did you get yours? DH and I are doing annon donor too. No one in our family/friends know what we are going to do.

Well back from dinner. Went to Paesano's - very scrumptious. Had the most delicios wone - had a bit too much, but what the heck I ain't pg yet!

Hope: I think the E2 is supposed to be 150 for each mature follicle. SO based on that number I have 4 mature follies. I am not too worried, just want it to catch up to whatever it is supposes to be. I know 3000 is too high.

Pequele: Really worse that caffiene?? Yikes, I better do research... For dessert I had cappacino ice cream pie

yummy!! and I thought of you. We are in San Antonio Texas and are wanting to move north of Houston to a small ritsy forresty town

But I need to research if there is a Strabucks.. I don't remember seeing one..

Alright time for bed. I have a loooong day tomorrow with 6 hours of teaching

. Will see the RE tomorrow morning and find out for sure when ER is. I will let ya'll know.

Night night.

Hi,

Anyone around today? How is everyone?

Steph and Hope, did your poking and prodding help at getting AF? I'm gonna join you in begging AF to arrive. I'm really desperate to get things moving too. So if anything you do works - no matter how crazy - do let me know .

Miracle- I was just using OPK (ovulation predictor kits) you pee on em and when the line shows up equally dark you are getting your LH (leutinizing hormone) surge...that is what makes you ovulate. When you get that you typically ovulate within 24-48 hrs. So in my case I call the office when I start my surge then I go in for the iui the next morning. My last cycle I was freaking because I was worried that I'd surge on the weekend and I worked all flippin weekend and wouldn't be able to go in for my iui...I didn't want a wasted cycle just because of hell (my definition of work!) So when I saw my surge starting on the Friday before I was shocked since it was only day 11! They got me in that day and I felt good...but then I was worried it was so early...so I kept testing. Saturday no line

I'd always surged for like 2 days before....CRAP!!! but I was still having the twinges that morning so I figured I was still good. Then the twinges stopped by mid day and I was like yahooo I DID ovulate! WELLLL then Sunday night I was feeling the twinges AGAIN so Monday morn I tested again and yup dark line!! CRAP either I was reving up or I actually O'd twice! The pains stopped on Monday so I know for sure I last (or only) ovulated that day. Well I know frozen swimmers don't last as long as fresh so I stressed the whole time about timing. I don't wan to go through that again...grrr.

The bank I used is Cryogenics in Minnesota. They were recommended to me by the clinic and they have been easy to work with and I've been happy. Their rates are relatively cheap and ALL info for their donors is FREE online! THAT was huge for me because I couldn't decided to save my life and getting all those profiles would be horribly expensive! They are a "sister" company to Fairfax in VA. Once I was pregnant, my mom was curious about the donor and that whole process (I didn't tell her until I was pregnant). I haven't shown her the info and pics I have of him. I don't think it will matter to do so until I have better results (next time)

If I had to move on to another donor, I'd probably ask her for her opinions on the next one though (since I'm single). For now she will just have to love this one as much as I do haha.

Angie, I'm so sorry to hear your news. You know we're thinking of you and will be here whenever you need us.

Don't leave me hanging like that

I need to know now please

Miracle08 - It's good to see you back. Good luck with starting treatment

Steph - yeeehaaaa About Bloody Time!

It's only been like 36 hours since I was last here but it feels like a lifetime. I missed you guys last night

- was babysitting for my sister and couldn't get her damn computer to connect

Actually it was me being dumb and forgetting how

So I watched tv but then pressed the wrong button on the remote and that died - not a good evening. The children were no problem but I was tired and grouchy and everything kept going wrong.
I stayed over at her's then we went to Jimmy's Farm today (anyone seen it on tv? Essex guy who started up his own rare breed pig farm

) but I came straight home to catch up here.
So I got my pics scanned into my sister computer, eventually e-mailed them to myself when she got me connected and ........... they didn't come through

What is it with me and technology this weekend? crap!

Su x
