AGP, follies, fetuses and Mojitos - Life is good
You ask, I deliver here's the new post:
Dee - sorry the nasal spray makes you gag. What is your next step?
Heather - We need to start a birthday chart! Don't you think?
Helen - Happy, happy birthday!
Ladies, please post your birthdays so I can start a chart. I don't want to miss any of yours!
I did ask about 2 IUI's versus one. I got the same answer I always get. "There are no studies that suggest 2 IUI's are better than one well timed IUI. We will certainly do 2 if you want two, but we don't believe it is any more helpful than one well timed IUI." Since I'm being monitored daily with u/s now and taking the meds to stop ovulation. I'm pretty confident this IUI will be very well timed.

HAHHAHAHAHAHA - Lisa omg yes you would ask me how i am down under. And yes a visit from your little friend does warrant a cheeky how are you "down there". I am laughing hysterically too but mine is due to the 3 glasses of wine I have consumed this evening - I have no medical reason to be silly!
I reckon it wouldnt hurt to get the 2nd IUI. At the end of the day its to make sure you dont miss your O window so why the hell not. Make sure your doctor is looking up at you when you ask the question as you want to see his face rather than having it peering at you "down there"? Does insurance cover this 2nd IUI or are you completely self funding at this point?
Something ridiculous for you all - I used a HPT and yes BFN ...please someone hit me over the head. How the bloody hell would i get a BFP when I was away from DH overseas. There was no action literally down there. I had sore boobs and i was getting paranoid. UGH! I am so dumb sometimes.
Helen - just so you know I was going to have kids when i turned 30 but I turn 34 this June so its kinda sucks. Maybe we should all have a pact that we will all get out BFPs in 2008. Surely even God can help us out on that one!

Wine sounds like just the ticket. I'll be drinking tonight since 2ww is approaching. Oh my little Dee friend. POAS when no action has taken place down there is very funny. Hope is eternal! I remember in Dec. when I didn't have any action down there I would have a day of feeling nasueas and think "Oh, hmmmmm...could I be pg?" and then "OH YES, there's been no activity down there this cycle...dummy.." We are just so ingrained to being atune to anything at all happening to our bodies "down there". Too funny.
Lisa,
2 IUI's worked for several ladies on this forum, wannabemamma is one of them. Doc's disagree though whether 2nd IUI improves your chances but sometimes you should do what feels right to you. I would wait till your next cycle when you hopefully have more follies to have two IUI's.
Ashort,
how is your friend doing who gave birth to a baby with a heart problem? Is it the same friend who made you and dh go to her baby shower? That birth announcement must have been hell for you considering what you were going through. I felt so bad that happened to you on top of all the pain you were in already.
Well, we are about to go look at some real estate in Austin since my parents are looking for a place to retire close to us so that they can help us with grandchildren that I am not carrying. Fun-fun-fun!!!
Have a great weekend everyone! I'll check in later when my parents go to bed.

Hi girls thank you all for making me feel so welcome! I'm doing okay...okay I guess that's a lie...LOL...not really okay....I'm hanging in there. I really thought this m/c would be easier because now I know it only makes things worse to dwell on it...I'm dwelling...LOL. Outwardly, I'm playing it off nicely though. I go tomorrow for another beta. I hope it is 0. If it's going up I'm in trouble with that GTD thing. They still haven't given me the results yet. I'm calling tomorrow. I really don't think I have it but who knows??
babyalive- I would do 2 IUI's. I think my RE does that too. We were thinking about doing IUI before I got preg. Now I'm waiting for my RE to give me "the plan". Where are you in your cycle?
empty- Nasal spray? What's it for? When do you get your IUI, any good follicles yet? Shea is okay. He goes in for a second knee surgery on the 26th. You wouldn't know it though...LOL. He''s a good boy. How's your lab? I know what you mean about taking HPT. I actually took an OPK the other night b/c I didn't have a HPT. I wanted to see if I had any HCG in my system...it was negative...hope that's a good sign. I'm sorry for your losses. I know how you must feel.... Is methotrexate a form of chemotherapy? If I have this GTD I need to have chemo and I think that means I have to wait a year to TTC again.... Oh, today is Sunday and my b-day is Thursday...so yep...4 days...
Heather- How are you feeling? Did you do IUI and get preg? How far along are you now?
Helen- Thanks for asking about my friend. She had the baby the day I found out I was m/c. How weird is that? It was the one thing that made me smile that day. We went and saw him the day after my D and C. He's really cute and healthy looking. They say he doesn't need heart surgery for like 4 months. She was the one with the baby shower. I must say this has been the hardest thing for me and DH. It's almost been a year of this preg./m/c stuff. It was funny dh kept saying, "Give the baby back, We have to go." I didn't want to put him down. I just kept looking at his hands and his little face. My dh refused to hold him.
35 isn't bad I'm going to be 31. So I'm not too far behind you. My RE said he should have my results in a few days. That was Wednesday and still no word. No news is good new..hopefully...

Helen - my parents do the exact same thing. While I was visiting thye wouldnt let me carry anything or walk too far!! What! I am not even preggers! But they do take very good care of me and I know I should appreciate it.
Amy- my doc here in Aust has put me on a nasal spray for a week (morning and night) and this to make my body go into menopause. They then start me on injectables in a week and then half the nasal spray. This then gives them complete control over my body. I think I am about 2.5weeks away from IUI. While I had my 2 previous pregnancies naturally, a HSG showed a blocked left fallopian tube so IUI will be my best chance at this point. Yes methotrexate is a chemo drug and I couldnt TTC for 3 months afterwards.Bailey my dog is well - its very warm here today 37 degrees and he isnt the biggest fan of heat so he is lolling around pretending that he is 110 yrs old. He is 3.5 ys old!

Empty- Wow, the nasal spray sounds interesting. I guess we don't do that here? You must be so excited to start you IUI process. Did they mention if IUI would help your chances of staying preg? I'm just curious b/c I'm wondering if that would help me. I guess your story is a little different b/c of your tube. They can't do an HSG on me b/c I'm allergic to the contrast dye. My RE says I would have to have a lap. done to check out my tubes. My dogs don't like the heat either. Does Bailey love to swim?
