I tested on Friday (8dp trigger) and got a negative.
Now I'm just impatiently biding my time until a reasonable day to test again. Probably Monday when I'm home again.

wilmaroo I have no willpower. I was just out of town with nothing to pee on 10dpIUI was negative. I'm saying I'll hold off until Wednesday morning, but probably won't.

Ugh...so I've been spotting for a week! I started a new pack of BCP last Thursday, and it still hasn't stopped.
MH told me that he is going out of town around Oct 7th for a week, and that will be my FW if the Follistim works.
I called and left a message with the RE's nurse to see if I could stop my BCP for a week, have a "period", so I'll stop spotting, and that should put us back on track for when MH is back in town. I'm waiting for a call back.

I'm so sorry jacks! Big hugs. I did hear back from the RE, and we figured out a modified schedule for the BCP. I will stop x 5-6 days, have a "period", then restart the same pack. I will finish that pack around Oct 1/2. 5 days later I will start Femara. I will start Follistim on CD 8. I will have a monitoring US around CD 13/14.

Sorry jacks, orangehibiscus, excellent to have a plan! My IUI was yesterday. My husbands post wash count was only 200k. At lunch, the nurse called and said she spoke with the RE and they referred him to a urologist. His appointment is 3 days after my beta test. So, either we cancel the appointment or its good that it will be happening so quickly.

Thanks charliefox. I hope so too. I'm so over all this spotting. Thanks jacks! I'm glad you have a quick Urology appt. I'm hoping that you can cancel it!

I'm so sorry jacks. I can't remember where you are with treatment - are you going to talk to your RE about a different IUI protocol or mes dosage? Let us know how the discussion goes! fatpony - so glad they were able to get you in for a urology consult so soon. Was this the first sample they've done counts on for your husband? orangehibiscus - lovely that you were able to restart things! I'm constantly stressing about the timing of each cycle... as if we don't all have brought to worry about already! AFM, I had another monitoring ultrasound today. The lead from last week is now at an 18.5 (the other dropped off). So, we're triggering tomorrow for an IUI on Friday! Hoping for the best! If this cycle doesn't work, we will change up a few things for the next cycle to try to improve the "quality of ovulation."

No, he had is semen analysis, which wasn't horrible, but wasn't great either. Last month his post wash count was 3.3 million. So it just keeps dropping.

FX wisco! fatpony Hopefully you won't need the appointment, but if so, hopefully they will be able to help quickly. I am starting Femara today at 7.5mg. I'm also planning on switching my timing up. First monitoring on CD11, which is early, but they didn't want to wait until after the weekend and miss it since they're not sure how I'll respond to the increased dosage.

Numbers were good! She didn't give us specifics, but said post-wash it was 50 million+. I'll be stalking the online chart to get the details because #geek. Everything went well and it was over in a blink. My office makes me stay on the exam table for 15 minutes after insemination. Do all your offices do that?

What awesome numbers!

wisco Woohoo for good numbers! I also stayed on the table for 15 minutes. I asked the nurse to bring me my phone or I would have ended up asleep.

fatpony & jacks - I always joke that they should let me nap there afterwards. It would be an expensive nap, no doubt... but I can't help but cringe when I stand up.

If my meds were in my fridge and I lost power should I still use them or consider them a loss? 2 boxes of menopur. I spent yesterday crying. Rental insurance is saying they don't cover it or my food. I still filed a claim though. Was the menopur still in powder form or had it already been reconstituted? In powder/undissolved form it doesn't need refrigerated - they just say it should be kept below 78 degrees.
