we are getting closer to our IUI date! We originally though it would be the 18th however, due to the fertility medication i am taking this time it could be sooner.I had clomede & some shots this time. Diana just gave me my last shot and I go back tomorrow morning to see how many eggs we will have this month. I'm excited && anxious! Wish us luck :)

Well its a new month, and we gonna have to try again soon. I don't understand how it doesn't work so easily I mean if we do everything right how does it not work?

Has anyone else had an ectopic pregnancy? I just got over mine and it took about 3 months. We are trying again for the first time this month (IUI)and I am so anxious & nervous! All the worries I had the first 2 tries and then we got pregnant have way over doubled. Does anyone have any positive stories about this? Just wondering...might make me feel a little less worried about getting pregnant again.

According to my chart, this is an anovulatory month (iow, i didn't pop an egg out) WHY???? I don't understand why I wouldn't ovulate this month? WTF???
I know it's fairly normal, sometimes your boyd just "skips" a month, but why??? what do I need to do to FIX IT?

YAY!! Finally we can try again! Our IUI this month is on the
18th! We are so excited we can finally start trying for a baby again and are hoping, of course, it happens the first try! :)
I'll post an update when we get one for sure. I definately don't miss the waiting game...waiting for the IUI day to finally come and they waiting for the pregnancy test results. but...it's well worth it in the end.

I am a pre-operative transsexual. Where can I go to save my sperm before my SRS?

Well, no luck again this month. The waiting takes everything out of us 2! We decided to see the doc for the next run! We called and talked to him and he has no problem using our donor sperm and doing the insemination in the office.

I went April 1st for my appointment with "the doctor that gets all the lesbians pregnant." And quite frankly, I was disappointed. . . I was actually ready to get up on the table and let him do some poking around to make sure the factory didn't need any extra help. . .like Clomid (which I've heard so much about.) But, no chance. . .he just sat down next to me and started asking question after question. . .about my LMP and if I'm regular and how many days my cycle is. . .then he gave me this sheet of instructions (which I had already received previously) and told me to follow those. .

well today was the day. i took a pregnancy test this morning. thinking that for sure it had to be positive. i still have not gotten my period have only had spotting and thought for sure it had to have taken. but the test was negative. what a huge dissappointment. oh well guess we'll have to wait until next month.

can comebody please help me to understand how to cop with the WAITING?? it has not even been a full 2 weeks and i just cant take the antisipation. how am i going to repeat this next month if it didnt work? i have all the signs...and still no monthly period. although i still technically have 4 days until i should get it. :sighs: 4 days seems like an eternity to wait. i need to know now. i want this so bad and i wish and i wish....and i just know im pregnant. but at the same time i dont want to set my self up for devistation when the test comes up negative. does anybody have any suggestions?

We r finally physically over the tubal miscarriage. So, we are waiting for the next cycle to try again. It's all we can think about! We knew about the tubal at 5weeks & had treatment at 6weeks.It took until the "11th week" to terminate the pregnancy. Let me tell you it has not been fun at all losing your first baby. We are just trying to focus on getting better and counting the days until we can try again. It will be in May but not sure the date my next cycle will be. I havn't had a monthly cycle since February 5th!

well, it has been a few days since my last blog. i just felt like i was repeating the same things over and over again. it is almost time for me to be able to take an actual at home pregnancy test to see if i really am pregnant. it has only been a little more than a week since my FIRST insemination and just about a week since my LAST. i have been feeling a bit sick lately ALL the time, and have been feeling like a little crampy and now have been having a little faint spotting even though i shouldnt get my period until next week. i have been super emotional and very sleepy.

My doctor referred me to a fertility clinic to perform the IUI. Not my first choice, but we'll go check it out.

Well here we go again...sit and wait! Has anyone EVER had a baby with the at home insemination ?? PLEASE COMMENT!! We are about to give up hope on this journey. What a roller coaster ride. We just can't understand why after 3 months of trying, still nothing! Please give us some positive advice!

I believe so much that Tracy is pregnant. I feel it but I don't knnow if it can happen that fast. I just hope it did I don't think I can wait like this I mean. I just wanna be like take a test now but it'll obviously not come up it's way to earily but oh man. I"m just pray every day and rubbing her bellty as if it's alreayd there. I just want it so bad to plan adn to name a baby to hold it again. I can't wait I'm so excited and she's goin back and forth she thinks it she doesn't she don't know it's making me more crazy well thats all for now
