Cycle 2- AF Arrived

Well it is always disappointing news when AF comes. We didn't expect AF to come because DP was 4 days late with her period but I guess we have to hope that the third time is a charm.

Our RE says 3 times with just clomid and hcg shot and after that we are moving on to something else...injectables I assume. DP is not looking forward to another cycle because she feels like she has had AF non-stop. It is really disappointing to get your period after a hopeful 2ww.

So DP is starting her clomid for cycle # 3......our fingers are crossed.

Cycle II- 2ww

Well we are at the end of our 2ww and DP still didn't AF yet. We aren't sure what is going on because she tool 2 pregnancy tests and both were negative. She took the first one 10DPO and the second one 12DPO. It is last in the day and she still hasn't gotten AF so I guess that is a good sign.

DP also says she has a weird hot or burning sensation in her uterus and lower back pain. Don't know what that is all about.

So I guess we just have to keep waiting. This whole process is very stressful!!

Cycle 2- Clomid from Hell

This is our 2nd cycle with Clomid and this time DP had some major side affects. She had horrible mood swings, headaches and major PMS symptoms. She said it was uncontrollable crying and depression. After about 10 days after the Clomid the symptoms lessened a little. We hope it works this time. Chris ordered her HCG shot via phone and it was delivered to our house last night.

Going to RE tomorrow morning to have the ultrasound done. We have to see if the follicles are matured to the right size. If so she takes the HCG shot and we wait for insemination #2 on Monday March 15th.

Cycle 1- Feb 23 till AF came

During our 2ww we got anxious and decided to take a pregnancy test..big mistake. DP still have the HCG in her system from the shot and it gave us a false +. So we waited till like the 26th to take another test and low and behold DP got AF really light. At first we thought it was implantation bleeding but soon discovered that it wasn't. It was really disappointing when DP got AF. We really had our hopes up.

So now DP has to get more Clomid and the cycle starts all over again...joy :(

Feb 18th- Cycle 1

When we got to the RE we ended up waiting for like 45 mins because they had to prepare the specimen. It seemed like we waited 2 hours because we were both so anxious. Finally they called us in the room. We had to sign some papers and then wait some more. The actual procedure took 2 minutes but the wait seemed like forever. They said the mobiliy was 68% and about 30 million count, which is good. After it was done we both had to go back to work...neither one of us wanted to at that point.

Cycle I- Pre IUI

Feburary 17th- We are TTC and this is our first cycle with IUI and Clomid. It took about 6 months to do all the fertility testing to make sure DP was all clear and now we can finally do the IUI. Met with our RE and everthing thing is good to go. We are both really nervous and have little idea what to expect. DP took her HCG shot, had the ultra sound and tomorrow morning we are off to the RE for the insemintation with our fingers crossed.
