2wwers Feb 2010

[Sammy_J]

I just had my IUI today and am officially in the 2ww!! This is my third back to back IUI so I've been getting shots daily from 6 November - very hard on my poor lil bum ;)
I'll be on hcg 1000 injections daily and progesterone suppositories 400mg each night.
My beta will probably be on 14/15 Feb.
In case it doesn't work (please God make it work, please, please, pretty please with sugar and honey on top) then I'll take a rest and maybe go for IVF after a month.
Just wanted to start a thread for all 2wwers so we can obsess over symptoms, share fears and concerns, and consider to hpt or not to hpt with each other.
I get very jittery towards the end of the 2ww and support from my friends on this forum has helped keep me sane thru the shots, scans, suppositories, tests, etc. Hope we can start a useful thread for everyone else in this 4th dimension...
Hugs and SSBD to all TTCers,
Sam

Thanks for the message. Praying for you to get a BFP in your IUI. Stay positive hun, its gonna happen :)

Hang in there. We don't understand God's timings but He knows whats best for us so our lil bundles will come at His timing and that will be best for us too. Prayers never go waste so keep praying. Think of it as an account that you keep depositing into, and one day you'll get all the returns :) Best of luck and do keep us posted.

My doc says with current treatment problem IVF would not be much more successful than IUI as I have implantation issues not fertilisation issues. Fertilisation problems are ideally solved by IVF/ ICSI but if your eggs fertilise but the endo does not let them implant then even IVF can't solve that. So we are looking into how to make the endo more receptive. Thinking about acupuncture also. Have a month off so lets see. Really needed the break... AF still not here, wonder why. Its been 3 days since I stopped progesterone.
Good luck with your IUI, it'll be a breeze after IVF. Crossing everything for you and wishing you a BFP and H&H 9 months.

Hugs to my favourite ladies, keep the chin up!

Hi Sammy,

I am really sorry to hear about your news & I know it really *****.  Have you thought about IVF? Does your insurance cover it?  After I did IVF I remember how much my butt hurt so I can't imagine what you are going thru.  Sometimes it's good to give your body a break & let it go back to the way it should. I believe we will all get pregnant sooner or later, just a question on how long we have to wait.  I just turned 38 last week & not happy about that.  I will start my First IUI soon.....and hope it goes as soomthly as IVF did.

Hi Sam:
I am so sorry to hear about ur results.... I love how you girls keep the faith going... I used to believe. But now i not sure sometimes i think that is why God doesnt send me another angel.... But i just finding hard to have faith... Trust me i used to be a prayer every night..  But that stop after the last prayer i had with my boy before he died...anyway.... I will try to come back to God.. cause i know we all need to believe in someone or something.
Anywho:
Today i went for my Follow up apt. The doctor told me that he want me to have an iui... but i am still unsure about it... and then he said hubby needs to stay out of hot tubs and baths... he also need some Vit. C And E to help with mobility and Zinc..Other then that we need to relax and wait again until march or hopefully sooner...lol
I guess i am going to be cut down from my doses too to 112.5 cause they said in 150 iu i get way too many cyst... so better cut down... but that is all my news... not much in here to say but waiting.
I am looking forward to go to the 2 wwt.. with u girls cause i have to say i am getting to love everyone of u.... u guys are great and over all understand what we all going through. Keep the chin up and cross fingers arms and toes and hope for the best but pls dont cross your guys legs...

Sammy - So sorry to hear about your news. You have a such a great attitude about it though. I just had my first IUI last week and don't feel very encouraged that it worked. I just have feelings in my body that i have every other month i don't get pregnant but i keep telling myself to keep the faith. I'll draw a little inspiration from you!

Sorry ladies, I'm out :(
Second beta is 143, so now we know that the high hcg is because of the shots.
I plan to take a month off, my poor butt has been getting shots daily since 6 november, it deserves a break. So do our finances and not to mention my emotional health. I'll talk to doc to see what he advises. Meanwhile, I'm stopping the progesterone and waiting for the witch to show up :(

coylee
I know how u feel. I just found out that a friend is pregnant with her 4th kid and she and her husband don't even want more. Some people just catch pregnancy as if... and then there are us :( Hang in there, I still have faith that if not this time, it will happen.

I can't say much as I'm not very knowledgeable but I think with ICSI they can solve most sperm issues. I'm sure your doc will know the best options. Good luck and SSBD

I loved your message about counting our blessings and trusting God, it strengthened my belief even more.
You know I met my DH last year at the age of 34, after a miserable marriage that lasted 3 years and then 6 years of nothing in between. The years of married life were a nightmare (including 5 failed IUIs and 1 failed IVF but now I thank God that I don't have kids from that a*****e!!) and the years of being single after that were very frustrating - all in all 9 ymiserable years till I met DH. Most of my friends are married with kids. I had to wait so long, and go thru so much pain, but now I realise that DH was worth it. So maybe I have to wait some more for lil ones but I have a feeling they'll be worth every second :)

Here's to all of us and our lil ones who are looking down at us from somewhere up above telling us they're coming soon and we shoudnt give up and lose hope. Hang in there, ladies, our day will come :)

My love, hugs, prayers to you all. You are all very strong women, keep the faith.
Sam

For motility he can take high doses of vitamin C,  that will improve itvery quickly!  Not sure about the abnormal sperm. I'm sure they'll have him do another sperm analysts, normally when there's something off, they do 2-3. At least he has a very high count;). I bet there's something that can be done about the 2 issues.

Okay, AF came right on time, yesterday afternoon. Which I knee she would!  ughhhhh. Not sure yet of what were doing this month, but I need to figure it out soon!  Today is CD2!

COY; totally normal about how you are feeling!!!  My hubby & I went out on Saturday night for valentines day, & when we were walking to our car, I saw 2 pregnant women & I told my DH that I wanted to kick them!  He thought I was crazy & I said I'm not joking!!!!

So last night I was watching a show called obese & pregnant.....i was so bugged thinking, you know...I take good care of myself, & can't even get pg for a year now, & these women are morbally obese, with all kinds of issues & deliver healthy babies! & got pg NO PROBLEM!  Ughhhhh
that's when I have to remind myself of the blessings I have, & that even though I'm hurt, & confused about all this, God knows what's going on, & he knows what's best for me. For some reason I am suppose to have this struggle right now, & I may never know why.

Good luck to all those still waiting;)
Sammy, post your beta ASAP;)  for all of us who are out this month {{{hugs}}}
