    Oh okay I get you. I did a POAS at 10DPO is it was positive, so be warned that it will be a long(er) tww :S

    I don't know what a good range for washed sperm is - all I got told was that the sample was fine *shrugs*. CD 9 for me.... feeling a little more anxious being so close to Xmas - hoping for a BFP

    garfield sorry can't help much with the sa, as we don't have to be artificially insem. Best of luck with your TWW and hopefully you will get a nice little xmas pressie (well hoping we all do)

    Rhi that's good for follie size for the cycle day. GL for thurs.

    AFM I have had the best week in a while, my sis came up with my little nephew (6mnths old) and it was so good to spend time with her to just tallk and get lots of snuggles off my little giggly nephew. But I had to say goodbye to them this morning Well I'm CD12 today and will go back on thurs for a scan. I'm on 150iu and I've been getting lots of niggling cramps over the last couple of days. Oh and since last time I o'd without knowing it DH and I having been doing a little bit more exercise this cycle Well will update on thurs a little more as it's DH birthday tomorrow and we are going to Gold Class to see Harry Potter tomorrow night.

    I called the lab direct & she gave me all the info. Original sample was 80mil, the stuff they mix it with to freeze automatically brings it down by about 50%, then what is lost in the thaw, then the most & she only keep the very most motile ones, She said that number of 2.7mil is really common & fine. I feel better after talking with her as I was starting to think there may have been sperm issues, but looks like its just the freeze
    My prog at 3dpo was 24, so she said i might as well take the 1500iu booster today. It was 28.9 at 9dpo when i was tested a few mths back so im happy where its sitting at this point before its peaked. My hpt are still faint today, so guess the booster is going to keep them that way for at least a few days

    Garfield that is good news about the little swimmers, you must be relieved. Gl with the waiting.

    Rhi how are you travelling???

    Well my appopintment on Thurs couldn't have gone an better. I had 1 follie on my right side and I had my trigger shot on Fri morning. So glad it is raining which means not much can be done this weekend which is good for lots of snuggles Also a little happy about it as I will find out when we are on holidays if I'm UTD so will know before I go back to work anit would be a great xmas pressie as well.

    Baby dust and sticky vibes to all

    Hi ladies,
    I just have a quick question, and I'm hoping someone can help me. I am doing OI using Gonal F, ovidrel trigger and pregnyl luetial support. Friday I took the ovidrel, and since then I've gained over 3kg, and had period like pain and bloating for the past 3 days or so. Is that normal for ovidrel shot post Gonal f? I'm not sure whether to ring FS or not?

    Thanks ladies (hi Jules, Liz!)

    Bec, not sure if it is normal, but I became very bloated after the trigger and had small cramping and sore bbies for just over the week after having the trigger. Also don't know if it is related, but since being on the injections have put on 8kg in 5 months Hope this helps and best of luck waiting.

    natural cycle iui

    Hi everyone, I have loved reading your posts - it's been very helpful through the iui process.... i have had two unsuccessful attempts with iui -no stim drugs, except the trigger, and then a little 3 month break from it.
    Going again this week! third time's a charm they say.. just gotta stop thinking every little twinge is "something" thru the two week wait!
    Good luck - keep up the posts!
