Welcome to Troll Control. Your genuine thoughts are welcome. Please be patient if your comment doesn't appear immediately. I may be otherwise occupied.

The data thus far

October 4, 2010. 30 weeks+ and going well. Hard to believe that the IUIs and chemical pegnancy and betas all actually added up to this: aching ribs and sore back and huge belly and 9 weeks to an REAL baby.

April 22, 2010. Back to RE for followup. Good stong HB. Definite blobbiness observed. Measuring 6w5d +/- 4d-- but there is definite growth from the OB scan, so I believe this is just measurement error and difference in machines. Dr. assure me it looks great, and I agree. First feeling of "OMG, I think I might be pregnant for real." I almost graduate but she wants me bakc to look at my superzsized ovaries one last time.

April 19 2010. First OB appt. Normal, orb-shaped sac, nice HB, "about 140". Measuring 6w5d +/- 2d.

April 15 2010. Heartbeat. Measuring 6w1d +/- 4d. "Irregular sac".

April 8, 2010: Beta #3 2699 @21dpo (49h doubling); p4>20; E2 rising. ONE gestational sac. Orangish spotting 12 h after scan, changing to brownish. Oy, let the panic begin.

April 5 2010: Beta #2 990 @18dpo; p4 >20; E2 638. Doubling time: 38.91. Solid so far!

April 1 2010: BFP! Beta 179 @ 14dpo. Go Jacques!

March 19 2010, ovulation confirmed. Start progesterone 3/21.
March 18 2010, CD12: 2:30 p.m. IUI#3 31.5h post trigger; 3 22-24 follies, lining 7.76, 26m sperm in sample, 55% motility, all other scores good. Followed by napping and acupuncture.

March 17 2010, CD11: 8 a.m. trigger; IUI scheduled for CD12 at 2 p.m. (30h post trigger) THREE follicles, 2 @ 20x17; 1 @ 17 round. Lining 7.76. C'mon Jacques.

March16 2010, CD10: 150 more Follis.tim, no trigger.

Mar 15 2010, CD9: 2 follicles L (15x16; 20x15); 1 co-dominant follicle right (15x15) and a tiny one R. Given trigger shot to take home and instructions to call after 1 for instructions on whether to use it or not.

Mar 12 2010, CD6 3rd day FSH= 10.4; 2 good folllies, 1.1-1.3, one R, one L.

Jan 12 10 cd10; u/s 2-3 triggerable R, 1 L, was given HCG trigger to take home and shoot myself @ 10 p.m., come in tomorrow for u/s, poss. IUI tomorrow (12H) or Fri (36H)

Jan 11 10 CD9; u/s: 3 follies R, 1 L; lining "good". Back tomorrow for probable trigger; IUI prob on 1/13.

Jan 5 10 3rd Day u/s; Begin Cycle #2. 150 IU Folli$tim. Doctor optimistic, said last cycle timing was perfect. Agrees that if no BFP by Cycle 3, we're heading straight to IVF.
