Hi ladies,

Hope you are all well!

Harvest: Hope you got on ok with the IUI today.
31: How you feeling today?!
Gingerbaby: Great news about your follies... keep us posted!!
Touch the Sky: Fingers crossed you get a postive over the weekend!

I went for another scan this morning and was shocked to find out that my follies have grown loads since yesterday.

Rt: 17mm & 12mm Lt: 20.5mm & 14.4mm

They have given me an injection (Top of my bottom...ouch) and said that IUI will be tomorrow Ekk!! My lining was a little thinner at 7mm but she said it can fluctuate and the injection should thicken it up. I did have some fluid in my uterus too so she wanted to get the iui done tomorrow I have spoken to someone at work who has told me to take the whole of tomorrow off! My head feels all over the place but I am kind of excited too!

How is everyone doing today?!

xx

Ginger - Congrats on your brew of follicles!
Dizzikel - Good luck tomorrow!!! I see this is your first. Try to relax - It really isn't much worse than a pap. I would recommend taking the day off as well.

My IUI yesterday went well. I felt fine right after it (a bit tired from being nervous about it) but last night I had pretty bad cramps. I am going to call the office today to see if that is normal. I remember having them last time but they seemed worse this time. I took off from my regular job but went to work at my second one last night where I am on my feet for only 2 hours but man was I cramping.

This morning I feel Great! Back to normal. Now the TWW begins

I'm off for my IUI in a few hours and I am coming back to work after. I did this last month and was fine. I do have a desk job so I am not moving around or being strained at all. I figure I can sit at work as easily as I can sit at home.

Will not be doing any excercise tonight or tommorrow and will do a Yoga class on Saturday. As much as I don't want to regret anything there is a large part of me that thinks if not getting pregnant was as easy as exercising after ovulation then there would be a LOT less women pregnant. While I will not go out and run a 1/2 marathon in the next two weeks I will do light jogs, some spinning and yoga ... that is unless I'm told otherwise today!

I only had 1 follicle this month (AGAIN!!!) but hoping it is developed enough to help with conception

Thanks 31: I am going to try and stay as calm as possible tomorrow. So pleased your IUI sent well yesterday...hopefully the cramping is a good sign. Let us know what the clinic say.

Springy: Good luck with your IUI....let us know how you get on! It is great that you feel up to going into work, I am a teacher and on my feet most of the day so figured it would be as well to come home and relax. Good idea, RE exercise.... will you let me know what your consultant says? I will ask tomoorrow too! I hope your one follie does the trick - are you classed as unexplained inf?

Back from the IUI - was slightly crampy during it but all in all not bad. Now just sitting at my desk for the rest of the day and will curl up on the couch tonight and watch trashy TV all night

DH had 321 million with 99% motility - he was "SUPER" proud of those numbers. Hopefully one of those 321 million find their way .... plus I have a second IUI tomorrw.

I talked to the Dr today about exercise and she said "what type of exercise" and I said "spinning or running!" and her response was "no" .... the guidelines are that you are not to raise your core body temperature as this will affect the chances of getting pregnant. She said light exercise, brisk walking & swimming would be acceptable as they tend not to get your core body temperature too elevated. And she said "yes of course yoga - but not hot yoga!" So this month I will limit it to brisk walks, some light biking and yoga. I don't want to think I jeopardized the chances by insisting on going for a run.

Maybe I'll just make a pact to go to the gym everyday and walk on the treadmill.

Good luck tomorrow and let us know how it goes! It will be an exciting end of april for us

Maybe instead of running I will use the next two weeks to create the habit of walking my dogs for an hour each night. They could use it This is going to be hard with a half-marathon planned for 5/7. it is what it is I guess. all about priorities.

Hey Springy,

Glad the IUI went well, those numbers sound GREAT! Fantastic news! Thanks for sharing what your FS said about exercise. I wasn't expecting them to be so strict if I am honest but I suppose we just need to ease off the training and take it easy for a couple of weeks. The comment about HOT yoga made me laugh though :P Will deffo let you know how I get on tomorrow, I will be stuck to the laptop all afternoon!! Told DH that he has got to treat me like a princess for 2 weeks!!

31: That sounds like a plan! We have got to put everything into perspective!

Take care ladies

xx

Hi Ladies, just returned from my IUI. It went really well, over a million swimmers with 99% motility. I guess those numbers are OK? Nothing to compare to as this was our first time. Dr seemed to think it was great. Now I'm just vegging on the couch for the evening, better safe than sorry. As for the exercise, I will take it a little easy, bike riding, yoga and maybe some light weights. Off we go for the 2ww!

How was the walk??? I can't put my membership on hold so I will utilize it and walk on the treadmill and I can do the yoga or body flow classes.
