Oh the joys of trying naturally....

So this is my fertile week. My DH has been taking vitamins, drinking half calf and drinking pom juice. Me, I have been drinking green tea, temping and doing opks. I started the "Answer" opks yesterday and 2 lines came up (day 10) I was like WTF?? Today I did it again and 2 lines came up? I am totally confused by this. I bought the pack of 20 so I could test a few times a day. I am sorry I wasted the $20 on them as they obviously don't work. I read the box and it says the only thing that would make them not work right is if I was already pg. If I didn't know better I would think I was. My beta came back neg 2 weeks ago but I have been sick and not really wanting to eat.. AND I got my period and it was really heavy. So what gives?? I want to eat Pineapple but I'm afraid i'll be doing it before I should and them screw up all we've been trying to do this month. At least it's more fun trying this month!!! We are kind of like whatever, if it doesn't work next month we are doing inject/IUI again...I just wish the damn opk's would work right!!

Forced to take a break :(

I was so shocked! I didn't even think I might not be able to go onto meds for my 2nd IUI. I went in for baseline this am and I have 2 cysts on my left ovary. My nurse said you won't be able to do IUI this cycle and my I heart just dropped. Plus my period is soooo heavy that when she pulled out the ultra-sound thing it just poured right out all over the the chair and down to the floor. I am praying she didn't see it. I quickly cleaned it up after getting dressed but it was so embarassing. She also told me that they stimmed me to quickly so my eggs were prob crap which I knew if you read my prior posts. I should have said something before even starting them but i figured they knew what they were doing. My fsh level came back 11.5 this time. So it's better than last month (13.5) but still high.

DH and i have decided to really try to make this break cycle count so I am buying opks, temping,pineapple, pom juice, yoga etc... at first I was disappointed but now i'm looking forward to it.

IUI #1 BFN

Well..it didn't happen. I think deep down I knew it wouldn't. So i stopped taking the progesterone and my period came. So tomorrow is my baseline appt. to start this crap all over again. Things I will do different are eat pineapple and drink pom juice AND keep my uterus warm. AND i want to try acupuncture, stress management and maybe reflexology..all complementary from my dr.

I was upset but now I am motivated to get this started and move on. So..wish me luck that next cycle is mine!!

7piui and I'm bored

I woke up early this am to go to work to meet a client. I drive down the road and my car feels funny so I pull over to look underneath...turns out i have a flat tire. So I turned around as I left my cell at home so i couldn't even call my dh. When I got home I called him but he had just left for the job they were doing so he couldn't come back. So now I am stuck bored at home. My house is clean and laundry is done. I just took the dog for a walk and now I'm bored. So... I decided to see if the trigger was out of my system (took it 10 days ago) and when I was watching the window fill up I actually expected to see 2 lines. When i didn't I got upset then decided to post my nesties to see if it's too early. Turns out it is DEFINITLY way to early to test and now I guess when I do get the 2 lines at least i'll know it's for real. My beta isn't until 10/8 so maybe I'll test on Monday or tuesday. If it's negative then I'll call my RE to see if I should still do the b/w. I'm going to be a positive thinker and beleive that i am going to get my bfp this month!!!!
