I had about the same numbers last time and ended up with 2-3 mature follicles (hard to test cause last u/s was 3 days before O). I will probably have my IUI this weekend or early next week and test somewhere around April 20th

To make this easy for you babydrms:
April 20
Phoenixrose: low dose Follistim + IUI

Welcome Phoenixrose!! Hoping that this is your month - Very jealous you are being monitored so closely, I've got to wait another 3 months before I can get my refferal to FS and am doing my first clomid round completely unmonitored. xx

When I was on clomid I was monitored much less. Just a baseline u/s and one close to ovulation, plus a trigger. Now with the injections I'm basically monitored every other day until ovulation, with bloodwork and u/s. & don't be jealous! I'm all out of pocket! $$$$=ouch!

Welcome, phoenixrose! I was on 50mg Clomid as well, little monitoring, ovulated but bfn. You are just a few days ahead of me, although as I counted I will be testing around the same time, maybe a few days later. I am on cd3 right now and on day 2 of Follistim. How are you feeling after 4 injections?

I'm feeling pretty good, thank you. I've felt a little down today but no idea if it's from the medicine. I might be testing a little earlier, maybe around the 17th, but I won't know until I get the trigger and IUI. So do you start injections today? First round? I was a bit freaked out the first time, now it doesn't phase me so much.

katrus78 · Mar 26th, 2012, 20:11 PM

Yes, it's first round and today is my second injection. Yesterday, oh did it for me but today he is not around and I have to do it myself in one hour. I am kinda nervous, but oh well, it has to be done, right? Do u do it yourself?

hi! My test date is April 3rd. I just did my 3rd and last iui with clomid 50mg and trigger. I had 3 follicles all mature. I had my iui on Monday, triggered on Saturday and Friday my ultrasound showed one follicle at 17.5, 15, 14 all on my left. I'm trying to relax but I so want to poas..even though I know it's too early and trigger may still be lingering??? Good Luck ladies. Please put me on the list babydreams! Good Luck everyone!

katrus78 · Mar 26th, 2012, 20:27 PM

Aww, how exciting! Can't wait for you to test!

I'm desperate and so is hubby so we've agreed on that plan. It's gonna be hard though, we normally only do it 2-3 times a week if that LOL.

Do you already have a child? Your siggy says so - I have one son who is coming up to 2 x

Yes, I have a son from a previous marriage. My hubby now has no children and is 30, and an only child so he is REALLY anxious to have one. He wants a lil girl

I don't care but I do love boys. My sis has 3 girls and I'm pretty sure I would be bald from pulling my hair out

So how long have you TTC? Hopefully you just need a lil boost in your eggs and them maturing and the clomid will get you right where you need to be!!

Did you have a hard time ttc your son?

Thanks sweetie! So sweet that your hubby wants a girl, mine isn't bothered but is verrrrrrrrrrry happy he has a son haha.
I've been TTC for 1.5 years, basically since my son was 6 months old I started trying but with no luck as was BF quite a lot, then I weaned him before he was one and had 3 miscarriages close together and now my cycles have got crazy long and I don't really seem to ovulate at all. I hope clomid will help me, I'm a bit worried that my problem is actually 'popping' the egg off my ovary (PCOS) and don't know how helpful clomid actually will be for me. We will see! Just took my last clomid tonight YAY because oh holy heck those pills taste phenomenally bad!!

Have you had your hubbys SA done? xx

The clomid didn't really help for me (also PCOS) until it was upped to 150mg. I got 4-5 very big very good follies, also made a cyst I had on my other ovary disappear! Sorry to hear about your angel babies, it sucks. Hopefully your body just needed a lil help "rebooting"
DH SA was good, I can't remember what the numbers were on the actual analysis since we've done 2 IUIs and a freeze since then! But this last IUI it was 35 million post wash (I didn't catch what the motility was, his SA was really good in that area that I know of) A lil sad cause he had 62 million last IUI, but I have more eggs this time.

Who knows!?
Was your son hard to conceive?

I was going to have DH do it originally but on the first round they made me bring my meds and do it to myself in front of them to make sure I was doing it right. So, I've done it everytime =( I wouldn't be nervous. I was the biggest needle phobe! If I can do it, anyone can do it!

babydrms · Mar 27th, 2012, 16:10 PM

Well ladies, it looks like this will be a April/May testing thread as I won't be having my transfer until April 27th

Oh, and we will be transferring 2 embryos.

Brittles · Mar 27th, 2012, 16:38 PM

We're all in it together! Hope them lil beans are STICKY!!
