Hi Islandmama! Hope you're doing well! I would probably call the doctor and delay the IUI. Clomid can delay ovulation for some women (myself included), so if you haven't gotten a positive OPK yet, I would wait until you get a positive. Once you get your LH surge, you'll probably ovulate within the next 48 hours. When I had my IUIs done, they would do one the day I detected the surge and another one the following day. Good luck!
Thanks for making me feel like I did the right thing by cancelling todays appt. Since I posted the Dr cld me and said to wait till +OPK then do it that day miss one day and do it again. I am really hoping this will work!!
thanks again,
Becca
No problem, Becca! I really hope this is your month!!! I should be ovulating sometime this week too (I'm CD 10 today). Fingers crossed for two big fat positives coming up later this month :-)
That would be so nice!!! It would be great to get a BFP but to get it & be able to chat with someone else on the same page as you would be great! I know you were thinking about it but have gone to an RE yet?
I have an appointment on April 15th...that's the earliest I could get. But hopefully I'll get a BFP before then and get to cancel the appointment ;-)
Crossing my fingers for both of us, so we can continue chatting in the "pregnancy" forum!
...that would be nice!!!
still no +OPK but definate cramping and some EWCM. I still have an IUI scheduled for tomorrow afternoon do you think I should do another on on Friday? Isn't sperm is supposed to stay alive for 48 hours if so that would give me 4 days of being covered, right?
I would check tomorrow to see if you get a positive OPK, and if so, do the IUI in the afternoon. I'm not sure if it's better to have the second one done on Thursday or Friday. My RE would always do them two days in a row...but who knows :-)
I've heard that washed sperm can live 24-72 hours (they've survived up to 72 hours on an incubator).
Sounds like you're getting really close, since you're having both cramping and EWCM. Maybe you should do another OPK tonight...just to make sure you don't miss the surge.
I just got a positive OPK today, so looks like we're on the same schedule this month :-)
...oh, and if you do get a surge tonight, I would definitely do the IUI tomorrow; and if you decide to do two, the next one on Thursday!
Good luck!
I have been a testing freak. I have been testing w/ FMU & late afternoon I am so afaid I am going to miss it!! Sounds like we will both be busy for the next few days and then going crazy & obsessing for the next 2 weeks. Isn't that they way it goes!
LOL! Yeah, that's exactly how it goes :-)
By the way, I'm the same way...I test twice a day too.
you have to, just in case, you never know....
