I tested again this morning and got about the same result. I took an HCG trigger on 8/9, IUI on 8/11. Fertility Friend says I o'd on 8/12 based on temps. I'm going to wait a day and test again on Saturday morning, which is the date I told myself I'd start testing I'll let you know how that turns out! to you all!

FYI, they were day 6 blasts, and am 9 dpt. So equivalent of 15 dpo. RE looks for HCG of 50 or more. Even crap HPTs should be able to detect 20. But nada. Pure as the driven snow. So I'm not holding out any hope for the beta.

Coco, I hope all the luck that missed me finds its way to you.

we are waiting still at 12dpo. although it should early enough to test, i don't know if it's going to turn out to well testing this early.

dp has lost all hope about this cycle. she doesn't think it worked and she doesn't think she's pregnant at all. i think otherwise, but then i don't want to put too much hope or stock into it.

she has been having some food aversions and things that normally smell fine to her have started smelling weird. she's also always very tired and has had cramping since the insemination. she feel like her period is about to start, which is exactly what i felt the month it was positive.

i honestly think this one worked and i really hope it did, but i don't want her to be disappointed yet another month again. we shall see. at first she wasn't going to test at all, but i'm going on vacation and will be gone all of next week. technically, she could test on saturday, and af is due on sunday.

i want her to test while i'm here because i know i'll be gone for the week, but then i understand that she thinks it will be easier to just get af rather than see a negative test...

decisions, decisions.

Thanks everyone...
We wont be trying agaib until the end of the fall...

Girlie... I'm right there with you... this... just hurts so much doesnt it... this bfn is just... so much worse than any of my IUI's.... because it took so much work... so much time... so much money... and that its the only alternative....

I'm going to try to recover in the next few weeks... dont think I'll be hanging around too much until I feel better....

Best of luck to all......

Girlie... or anyone else... if youd like to talk, my email is psycoco@hotmail.com.

First off, to Girlie and CoCo, I'm SO sorry...

It is definitely an emotional roller coaster. DP and I have been trying for just over a year with her body. We've gone through surgeries, heart aches and LOTS of money. We finally decided to try my body, which is something we were going to do anyway, just wanted her to be able to carry again first. So... I almost feel bad saying it, but I got a BFP last night on a digital ClearBlueEasy HPT. I've been bloated and tired and irritable...but SO HAPPY!

I want to thank you all for your stories and your time, but I think I'll be switching to the "pregnant" area Please take care of each other and : to you all!

Dear Girlie and Coco,
to you both.
I just hopped on this board, but I hear how much energy, time, money, hope you both put into this and with IVF - I know how there is so much invested. My heart is heavy for both of you. Please accept my healing thoughts and take care of yourselves.

Love my family,
Congratulations on your BFP!!

I know there are others testing or almost testing, GL to all of you!
and sorry for no personals, but I am running. Been up all night with sickly dog, feel like I have cleaned the floor 500 times of poop and such and am off to the vet with him.
AFM: another neg test yesterday - my clinic wanted me to keep testing and progesteroning until day 14 and now AF feels like she is on her merry way.
We are picking about our 10th sperm donor- we have only used two but for different reasons can't use them again - or for a while and all our other choices were either no good or who knows what- the lady at MW tells you after the fact that "he's not good for IUI" or "he has a low count" . So right now we are choosing between (I kid you not - she likes to liken many of her donors to movie stars) Kiefer Sutherland, Pierce Brosnan and Richard Gere!!!! I know it's not all about looks, but it's kind of funny! And it keeps me distracted from the BFN.
Baby dust to all!
Happy Friday

Mmmmm... Pierce Brosnan

Sorry about your BFN Tireegal but hopefully picking a new donor will keep you focused on the next cycle.
