July Cycle Plan

Since DH has to get another SA and we have to schedule a follow-up consult, we're going au natural this cycle. We're doing one thing differently. Since there may be an issue with how long it takes DH to build up swimmers, we're going to abstain the week of anticipated O until I get a pos OPK. We'll only have one shot - but hopefully, we'll have plenty of good swimmers.

RE Update

Not much new to report. DH has his appt for re-analysis (SA) on Monday. Then, we have an appt in 2 weeks for a follow-up consult.

Cycle Update

Since I hadn't started AF yet, I went and got some cheapie pregnancy tests at lunch. I came home to test and found AF waiting for me.

15 DPO Update

Temp is back up a tad. Still full of PMS symptoms. Sore boobs, bachache, etc. A did from this morning says not pregnant. I anticipate AF today or tomorrow.

14 DPO Update

Well, my temp nosedived today. Still, I went in for my beta as scheduled since AF hasn't arrived. They proceeded to ask me if I'd tested at home. I told them I had and it was negative. At that point, they told me that they only do the beta after a positive urine test or after AF is late a week. I was ticked! I drove 20 minutes for them to tell me that?! Why couldn't they have told me that in advance so that I could've just called in?! It's not like I'm already irritated that it didn't work AND PMSing. They are trying hard to push me over the edge! Whatever. DH goes in next Monday for his re-analysis. Then we have to go in for a consult. So, I guess we'll know more later. For now, here's my chart that screams "AF is coming!"

On a lighter note, I have a trial on Thursday. So, Fx justice prevails! I could use an uplifting moment this week.

13 DPO Afternoon FRER

Looking very pessimistic for tomorrow's beta.

13 DPO BFN

I'm so disappointed. I know I've got my beta tomorrow but it seems like a useless exercise at this point.

Afternoon 12 DPO BFN

I'm feeling like I must not be pregnant. I would've had a BFP by now. I just don't understand where the beautiful chart is coming from.

Triphasic at 12 DPO

I have a stunning triphasic chart.

 

Unfortunately, I also got a Father's Day BFN to go along with it.

 

I'm so disappointed. I was really hoping for a Father's Day BFP. I'm also confused. I've never had a triphasic chart. So, you'd think I would be pregnant. I guess I'll know for sure after Tuesday's beta test.

11DPO

Things aren't looking good. 11 DPO BFN.

10 DPO

Well, my chart looks amazing.

 

Unfortunately, my hpts were negative this morning.

Awe man!

I had to go and mess up my excitedness by taking a mid-day test (when I KNOW I can't get more than a 2.5 hour hold or so in the daytime). BFN. Hopefully it's just the concentration thing and I haven't been taken in by nasty evaps or that sneaky trigger shot rearing it's ugly head again!

8 & 9 DPO Inverted Test Comparison

8 DPO

9 DPO

9 DPO Tests Inverted

Here is the cropped inverted version of the two VFBFP tests I took this morning. Fx for a FRER test to follow course and turn positive tomorrow!

9 DPO Update

I may be losing my mind - especially since the FRER is negative- but I'd swear the lines are coming back on the wondfo and surepredict.

Also, my chart is looking great.

8 DPIUI Chart Update

Implantation dip? I sure I hope so!

8 DPO

8 DPO tests. Also, my temp has started to go back up. Fx super tight it was an implantation dip!

Progesterone Level

My progesterone level was 14.5. I wasn't thrilled with that number but the RN says that it's a perfectly fine number and that they see equal success at 12 as they do at 40. The RN also said that DH has to come in for a SA so that they can do a proper diagnosis of the cause of his low count. They won't do anything else for us until they figure that out. So, I guess that's that. I just called to make an appt and left a message. Hopefully, he'll be going in at the end of the month for that. Well, hopefully he won't. That would mean I'm preggers!

9 Days Post Trigger (7 DPO)

Almost completely eliminated trigger shot. Negative FRER and wondfo. Very, very faint line on the sure predict. So, I should know for sure within a few days. I must admit, though, I'm pretty discouraged after seeing several posts from women on their 3rd or 4th IUI with washed sperm counts between 12 and 15 million.

FRER Comparison

Here is the FRER from yesterday (top) and today (bottom).

Digi Test

Well, the digi has gone negative. So, I guess I'll know for sure in a few days.

Darkening?

I may be going insane here but the top one is from yesterday. The bottom is from today. So the bottom one should be lighter than the top one but I'd swear it's darker and DH thinks so too. Please, please, God.

Twinges

Ooh. Sharp twinges in my lower belly just now. Praying that it's our baby burrowing in!

Chart Update

While I'd love for my post O temps to be above 98, overall it looks quite nice!

FRER from 7 Days Post Trigger (5 DPO)

 

Here's a FRER from 7 days post trigger (5 DPO). It can start darkening up in the next few days. :)

7 Days Post Tigger (5 DPO) Tests

Here's my 7 day post trigger shot (5 DPO) hcg tests. Fading out nicely! Tomorrow they can start darkening back up if they'd like!

IB Dream

I had another dream that I had some IB. It's very weird that I've never had this dream but I've had it twice during this TWW. It's probably just because this is my first IUI cycle. So, I'm exceptionally hopeful. A girl can dream that it's my body sending me a message, though, right?

4 DPO Cramping

I'm having some AF type cramps. I know it can't be AF at 4 DPO. At only 4 DPO, it shouldn't be implantation either, though. I guess it's just one of those things.

6 Days Past Trigger (4 DPO)

Here is my 6 days past trigger (4 DPO) hcg test. I'm rapidly returning to negative. That's fantastic! I really want to be able to test from 7-8 DPO. At this rate I'll be able to do just that!

Exhaustion

I've been absolutely exhausted today. I know it's probably just my overactive hormones.
