how is everyone?

I had iui monday morning after puregon 5000 trigger last saturday night.yesterday i have been slightly queasy a couple times but that may be stress about mum.i also just had the slightest bit of spotting.a few twingy pains yesterday afternoon.i have to have a puregon 1500 booster tonight.sunday and again next thursday.not sure what to think at the moment. but i guess between my 2 girls constantly fighting,the puppies plus mums diagnosis i havent had a lot of time to think about my tww.but then when i have thought about it in the back of my head i think if we were lucky enough for the iui to have worked the stress probably isnt the best thing for me.

I meant to post details about DP's sample for the iui the other day but have been a little side tracked. Semen analysis about 2 years ago showed his count as around 11 million per mil with reduced motility.mondays sample-initial assessment was 27 million per mil and final concentration was 30 million per mil

i was impressed at the difference from two years ago.mondays sample also 60% were moving and 20% of those were rapid moving.so i guess there is hope for iui working with a sample like that compared to previous samples

I'm back : )

Yah, finally today I had my transfer. Its been a long month for me.
On my scan and bloods test on 21st December which was day 25, nothing was happening. So they took me off the Puregon and put me on Progynova, 3 tablets a day and 2 Pessarie a day. Now this is a first for me as I have always had the Puregon and Pregnyl 5000 Trigger injection then the 3 x Pregnyl 1500 follow up injections.
A change is as good as a holiday so they say

Yesterday I also started my Clexane injections and Cartia tablets. I was really nervous about the Clexane injection as I heard that they really hurt. But it wasn't as bad as I thought.

So it looks like its just me and Trubabe in this 2ww thread at the moment.

Good luck to everyone else out there sending lots of

**trubabe** · December 27th, 2009, 07:20 AM

yay danyelle its great news that you finally got to have transfer.

BT for me is wednesday.slightly sore boobs but half the time i think im imagining it lol.had a few days of throwing up as soon as i get up but trying not to get hopes up.i had my trigger two weeks ago yesterday and iui two weeks ago tomorrow so im guessing if af is going to show up she should be here tomorrow, but so far no spotting which i usually get the day before

**JustOneMore** · December 27th, 2009, 09:07 AM

Good luck with your blood test for Wednesday 30th.
I have everything crosssed for you.
Sending you lots of

AFM: woke up on Transfer morning with a sore throat. Trying to not get any sicker and taking panodol to make sure I don't get a high temp .
I have booked to do the NK Cell test on the 5th of January but the lady in the lab said if I am not 100% healthy I will have to cancel, so I am heading off to the doctors on Tuesday to find out if I have a throat infection and if I need antibiotics then I will definately have to cancel NK Cell Test as Antibiotics affects the antibodies in body and having any infection in the body will also affect the test.

Sending you lots of

**JustOneMore** · January 1st, 2010, 04:07 PM

Hello everyone,

Feeling a little lonely in here

I've got one week left of my 2ww, not feeling very positive at all. Not feeling anything, I have no pregnancy signs at all.
Still have the sore throat and the bad cough though.
And you should see the bruises from the Clexane injections. Ouch.
Rang lab and had to cancel my NK Cell test : ( cause of the bad cold I caught.

I had asked my clinic to have a blood test for my progesterone levels. So on 30th December, 7 days after ovulation 4 days after transfer my levels were 41.
SO is that good or average. My clinic said it was good. I have no idea whats good as this is the first time I asked for this test.
Some help from you ladies with regards to Progesterone levels would be greatly appreciated.

**sammiejam** · January 2nd, 2010, 08:23 AM

Hi Danyelle,

I am not in my 2ww but remember the feelings VIVIDLY so I am here to give you some support

I dont remember having my progesterone levels tested so i am not sure what that means... hopefully one of the other girls will be along soon with an opinion.

I would not worry about not having signs of preg. AT ALL. I had none either except a stabbing pain on my left side which I was sure was a sign of impending AF. Symptoms and signs dont mean a thing. All that counts is that bfp on a blood test.

I have everything crossed for you hon.

Hugs,

Sammie

Thanks for replying Sammie.

I think everyone is on Holidays at the moment,
Hopefully someone will be able to answer my questions soon.

**mitf** · January 4th, 2010, 08:05 AM

Hi Danyelle, it was standard practice for my clinic to check my progesterone levels several times in the TWW. I was on injections through my IUIs and Progesterone pesseries through IVF. My clinic told me that anything over 30 is good but the usually liked to see me a little higher. Through out my IVF cycles my prog always seem to come in around 60-80. We finally got our BFP in October and I didn't really have any symptoms either until the very end. I didn't suffer nausea till week 8 and my first symptom was when my boobs started to ache about a day before my period was due. Good luck with everything. My fingers are crossed for you. Try to stay positive as everyone is different and no symptoms does not necessarily mean things aren't working.

**JustOneMore** · January 4th, 2010, 08:41 PM

Thanks for your help Mitf,

I went for another Progesterone Blood test today, I am 11 days after ovulation and P4 level is 61 so that's a good sign its going up

.

My clinic doesn't do any blood test in the 2ww until your pregnancy blood test.
I asked them could I do the test as I have been sick again with some sort of flu (this is the 3rd time I have got the flu mid cycle) and I was feeling a little down, thinking that it won't work again.
Plus my cycle wasn't doing anything on the Puregon so mid cycle they switched my meds and put me on Progynova 3 times a day and the Progesterone Pessaries Morning and Night.

The reason I mentioned the Non Pregnancy symptons is that on all my previous cycles which I used the Puregon and then the Pregnyl 5000 as Trigger and 3 x Pregnyl 1500 follow up injections, I had the common pregnancy symptons, mild cramping, bigger boobs, sore boobs etc.

I went back through my paperwork today and I was looking at my test results from my Last fresh IVF Cycle that ended in Bio Chemical BFN and my Beta HCG Level was 7 and my P4 was 26

.

I do have an ache in my chest but I'm putting that down to all the coughing that I have been doing at night.

Also congratulations on your BFP, you must be so excited. All the best for a happy and healthy pregnancy for you.

Thanks again for your help.

**mitf** · January 5th, 2010, 06:41 PM

Dayelle - great to hear that your prog is going up. Looks like your body is doing the right thing, plus the pesseries will definitely help. By the sounds of the symptoms you have had on previous cycles it was probably the injections. I found I didn't get and preg type symptoms on the pesseries (which was good because it doesn't confuse the situation).

I had a chemical preg on my first IVF stim - HCG reading got to 24. I figure that maybe it was nautures way of letting me know that this one wasn't meant to be. Fx that this little embie is the one that sticks this time round.

Take care of your self and I hope you get rid of this flu thing qickly.
