April 11, 2019 at 4:28 amThank you froglet! Did the IUI two days ago. And today my temp went up a little... Trying to keep the anticipation (hope) in reality. One day at a time. God willing, we'll see.

Sending lots of good wishes

May 17, 2019 at 3:58 amAfter 4 years of trying, we got pregnant with IVF and I was 41 when I gave birth to a happy, healthy boy. I have just started using this again now as we have started trying again (he is a year old now.).

Wishing you all the best for your efforts. I had a few triphasic temp charts in the last few months of trying (having taken multivits and bit D and got my husband to improve his sperm health!) - fingers crossed this is a positive sign for you MommaIhope2B.x

May 17, 2019 at 5:28 amHi acowham, thank you for sharing! So happy for you! All the best with your journey this time. We're in the 2nd cycle of IUI. I'm taking progesterone for second part of the cycle. In the 2wk wait right now. Temps are up but I'm also medicated so hard to tell. I don't have any other symptoms of pregnancy, but staying optimistic. I wish you all the best in your ivf. We're doing that next if this doesn't work.

Sending love and prayers that we all have miracles!

Sending lots of good wishes

May 21, 2019 at 12:02 amThanks MommaIhope2B, I didn’t measure my temp when I was going through ivf as I didn’t know how to interpret it, but I’m hoping your chart is a positive sign. Thinking of you over the next few days!

May 21, 2019 at 5:43 amThank you for thinking of me, acowham! Well I took pregnancy test 3 days in a row and definitely negative. I guess I stop this progesterone. At least I may recover my personality from the hormone overload. Oh well... We'll probably move to ivf now.

The cost v. likelihood is better with a donor.

The grief comes in waves, but overtime it's less sharp and less intense.

I'm ok today though. I pretty much knew I had no pregnancy symptoms aside from high temps.

Keeping hope alive for a baby.

Sending lots of good wishes

May 21, 2019 at 12:41 pmI’m so sorry to hear that. It is a difficult road to go down and so emotional.

You are right about donor eggs. A friend of mine was given amazing chances of conceiving with a donor due to the age of the donor only being 20. She had a lovely baby boy, who is now 15mo. Not having to go through the emotional and painful process of egg retrieval must make an amazing difference too.

All the best with whatever you decide.
