Oh Diamond, I'm so sad for you. What awful news. I really feel for you. When you get all the way to the BT stage then there's no wonderful news to greet you. We WILL all get there though. Just take care of yourself and enjoy Christmas - I'll still be here in the new year!
Both DH and I are so bummed for you. I can't understand why that beautiful fat prog result didn't convert to a big fat baby. Did they tell you what the numbers were today? You know I like the numbers. Let me know if you have them.
I felt so sure for you. But you know, this process does work. Here am I with a 9% chance and I've made it across the line. Your odds are so much better - 33%. I always expected it would take four to six goes, and that's ended up true for me. I can't help thinking you are close to a result.
But as you say, IVF has good odds too.
We send you lots of love and lots of light and big, big hugs. We know you and DH will get there somehow sometime.
Thanks for your kind words guys. We will all get there one day, this month just wasnt our time.
OP - the only thing they told me was that my prog had decreased to a reading of 11. She did not mention any hcg result, so I assuming it was nil or not worth mentioning. C'est la vie they say. Onwards and upwards from here. Strangely enough with every failure I seem to cope better. Appt with my FS booked for 16th - am expecting the IVf push then. Op you note a success rate of 33%, this is much higher than my clinic ever said which was at 20%. Where did you find rates like this. And does this mean an IVf success rate of 45% could in fact be higher??? (clutching at straws now...)
Firstly diamond i'm so sorry abut your BFN take care of yourself hun. xx
AFM: had the IUI yest pm - all went well - nil pain at all - now the waiting game!
I have x3 pregnyl injections mon, thur and sun then BT/urine test 22.12.08 (they are closed but i'll just do it at work). Then if i'm pregnent i start progesterone pessaries until my 7 week scan. I felt so positive yest and the FS nurse was so nervous i will have multiples but she said i would be "quite uncomfortable last night as i ovulated" but i felt fine and still do??? God i'm already reading to much into things!!!!!!
as far as exercise during the next 2 weeks go what does everyone think? and i know we have disscussed coffee but is there anything else i should avoid or do??
sorry about the me post but have to go out in half hour!
Bella - I was told not to do any more exercise than I would be doing already, so it's fine to continue any existing routines you have. In terms of food, there's obviously the caffeine and then all the usual things to avoid in pregnancy.
Bella - Glad your IUI went well, and you now have the pleasure of the wonderful TWW - dont worry if you didnt feel any o pain, every body is different..
Shades, OP, Diamond and antgirl - hope your having a lovely weekend
AFM: Friends over last night, that was wonderful, keeping my mind busy, I feel a lot better than I have the last few days, feeling calm about the outcome, and the af pains have gone away. I have done a poas - I dont even feel stressed about the results, as they are so incorrect most of the time, so AF due tommorow, prob being held back from Pregnyl.. I am going to try my best to not get too stressed -
Bella, my clinic always said don't do any serious exercise for three days after IUI. I always found I was really anxious and protective of myself during the TWW anyway, so I always told my trainer what was and wasn't willing to do. Leg press was out and some upper body exercises which pull my pelvic floor muscles were nixed too.
I think walking is the safest form of exercise at this time. Unless you're Jane Flemming and you're use to exercising at elite athlete levels!
I did review my gym's advice on exercising during pregnancy - they say mother's heart rate must not go above 140. Another trainer at my old gym said nothing above 120 and no ab training. No situps, cruches or other malarchy like that.
Lets face it - all our babies are so precious, none of us will want to put them at risk. They're just too darned hard to get!!!
Hi all
I am a new member of Belly Belly and new to the whole AI (iui) process. My husband and I have been trying for about 2 and a half years but have only just started with this.
We were married in Feb 2007 and live at Leongatha Sth in South Gippsland. I work as a Tourism Information Officer and my husband is a dairy farmer. We manage a dairy farm.
We are currently up to the first lot of needles and doing the AI on Friday. A bit nervous but not too bad.
Hope to chat to people and share my experiences. Good luck to everyone TTC
Well i just had my first IUI an interesting experience !!!! It went well... NOw i just have to wait and wait and wait some more if AF isn't here by the evening of 4th Feb i should be pg AF always comes 14dpo by lunch....
Thank you Babysteps and Janeo. It's great to be surrounded by lovely people on here.
Thanks for your wishes and all the best to you both - with your results etc.
Will chat again later.
All the best
Hi all
Being new to the whole assisted conception game, I was wondering if anyone can tell me. Is it ok to 'make love' whilst in the process of doing the Puregon needles before AI? LOL. I suppose it wouldn't get us pg anyway because of the timing.
Cheers and good luck to everyone.

: Spelling mistake
Louise, the nurses at my clinic say we shouldn't have unprotrctrd sex during an iui cycle. Even though we're a same sex couple and couldn't get knocke up anyway
Hi All - I'm not new to BB but I am new to this thread! Bimbo me didn't realise there was a thread related to IUI! I'm stoked there is! I've been floating random messages in other forums with not a huge amount of response. It's great to be in an area where everyone is going through the same treatment (in some one or another).
Hi Baby2Bee and Sue, and everyone else. It's been a bit quiet in here lately.
I'm still working my way through the TWW - my FC are doing a blood test next Tues, so I only have 6 days to wait, but I'm so tempted to do a HPT before that, as I'm 11DPO today. The only thing stopping me is that I don't want a false result and I don't think I'd believe it either way until I have the blood test to confirm (or get AF).
I still don't know what caused my fatigue on Monday - perhaps I hadn't eaten enough or something. I have some minor symptoms, such as fatigue and darker nipples, but nothing that's really making me convinced that I am pg. Of course I want to be, but if this time around is a BFN I won't be too upset, as realistically it would be poor timing and I'll be able to enjoy the things that are planned better if I'm not pg.
Just a quick hi to Lou, I am a friend of Naes. Very best of luck for today!!!
You are definately in the best place here if you are looking for support and loads of good advice. Pam.
Hey guys, sorry it's been so long, I hate the TWW.
But there are a number of us in the TWW here atm! Good luck to babysteps, janeo and bella!
Shelbee - good luck and you can always vent here
Good luck with the self-injecting girls, my DH would never go near a needle so it's always me. He just says I'm the nurse! But while I may have done thousands of injections on other people, it's a completely different kettle of fish on someone else! Like waxing I think.
Louise - welcome! Your use of the term AI reminded me of DH's reaction when IUI was explained "so it's like AI with cows then". He grew up on the farm...
OP - sounds like things are going really well in your way atm, it's good to hear!
afm - not a lot to report, still in TWW. Day 10po today. AF usually around 14 days but has been 12-15 days po. I shall try to be patient. I had the d21 bt and my prog was 42! Best d21 I've ever had. I'm thinking I might try another natural cycle now that the naturopath's actually got me ovulating naturally. Hopefully I wont need to make that decision.
Have a great australia day everyone! Enjoy the weekend.
