Trying to decide if I should try one vial

this month instead of waiting. Seeing how everything can be so new and overwhelming at first, I was thinking of it. Not sure what to do...thinking and thinking.

Unless you are very confident of your timing, 1 vial can be tricky and it may take a few months. This is how the expenses could play out ....
March 1 vial + shipping = $400
April 1 vial + shipping = $400
Assuming a BFP after two months = $800
Or .........
April 2 vials + shipping = $650
There's alot of money to be saved in fewer shipments. So, I think it totally makes sense to buy 2-3 vials at a time to really ensure that you've got your entire ovulation windowed covered, and only pay for shipping once ; )
But, best of luck to you whichever road you choose!! I know it's hard to stand on the sideline and wait another month when all you want is a BFP NOW ; )
We tried in November with two vials (IUI and ICI)...BFN....Then we tried on Dec 1st, two vials, ICI and got a BFP on DPO 11...miscarried on DPO 14, which was Dec. 14th. On Dec 20th, I just got this weird "feeling" to try again. I called my husband and he said we could not afford two vials. I asked if we could afford one and he said YES...then he said he would rather wait until January and we would two and possibly three vials then. I said that I felt really good about trying it with one vial - because really, it only takes one to get preggo, but having multiple vials is a deffinate plus to "catching" the egg when it is released. So we ordered the one vial 3 days before AND it was during Christmas week and there are no guaratees it would even arrive. Well, it arrived on the 24th. OPK positive on the 24th, but we insem'd @ 1:30 pm.
On DPO 9 we got a huge dip in temp and on DPO 10 we got a huge temp spike and a BFP!! One vial!!
So, if you have been tracking everything, and you feel really good about it, and of course if you have the $$, go for it! We did and it was the best Christmas gift ever!!
It would be better to wait and make the most of my chance. I just keep going back and forth. I wish our bodies weren't so fickle at times. I keep thinking what if I don't get the temp. dip but I always have the EWCM.
Ugh my brain is going in circles. Thanks for all your advice
