April IUI thread!

The pineapple doesn't bother me...I love pineapple. But the other girl doing it didn't like it either so she would blend if up in a smoothie. Good luck to all you ladies!!!!

hey guys had an IUI in Feb didn't work. Going to have my second in April love to see how we all get on. good luck guys

I had one positive opk the day before we had our IUI. Since my opks were negative after that I figured I just had a short lh surge. Now two 2dpiui I had a huge temp rise and my opks are positive again. Just wondering what do you all think? We bd yesterday also.

Well, I looked at your chart and it looks like you could have Oed on the 10th or the 14th, but considering you got a positive opk today, I would go with the 14th being O. It's possible to get a positive opk the day after O...I did this cycle.

I have a question - we have been ltttc #1 and are doing our first IUI this cycle. I have my follicle scan tomorrow, and I was wondering how can they differentiate an ovarian cyst from a follicle? I have PCOS so I'm SO worried after reading peoples posts that I'll have a cyst and we'll have to bail on this cycle. Is it the size that differentiates a cyst from a follicle? How many follicles are "normal"? Tomorrow is CD5, I've seen people who do clomid starting from days 1 to days 5, is earlier or later better or worse? I'm guessing it's kind of a trial and error type if thing.

Can't tell you how much I appreciate any insight!

I've seen clomid taken on all different days and women get preggo from different days. I don't think if take it sooner or later that it will increase or decrease your chance of cysts. I have pcos and have never had a cyst so having this does not mean you will get cysts and if you do, it doesn't mean they will abandon the cycle. From what I've seen they tend to base is on the size of the cyst...the bigger it is the more likely the cycle is to be canceled due to possible risks from the cyst. And a cyst and a follicle look different. If you google them, a cyst looks almost like a bumo/lump on you ovary where a follicle looks like a thin long tentacle...almost like little hairs on your ovary (sorry for the bad analogies). As far as how many they like to see...I think that more depends on your fs. But if you have at least one mature follicle they will/should continue. My fs said a mature follicle is 16mm or more but you won't be there at day 5. You should be at least here by the day you O. Hope this helps.

Hiya Im new to this me and my boyf have been trying for 4 years had 2 m/c started 50mg of clomid was told to take on day 2-7 im on day 10 now been for u/s this morning have 3 large follicles i am due to be scanned again on wed how successful have people been on clomid and how do you cope with 2ww i go out my mind but hoping to be successful this month

I can't give you exact statistics on clomid but I know several people have been successful on it. Maybe check the success stories area. People post in there about their success on clomid all the time. Some people don't react to it but that doesn't seem to be the case with you. As for the tww, I've just tried occupying my time with other things that interest me like hobbies or places I want to go...even if it's just to a new restaurant. It's hard, but the more you focus on other things the less you focus on the tww and the more cycles you do it, it gets easier, but hopefully you won't have to try too many cycles.

Welcome Frustrated20, we have similar situations. IUI in March didn't work, so I'm doing #2 this month.

Hello everyone and welcome to the new additions to this thread! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for everyone to have a successful April! I am officially going to be moving on to IUI #2 this month. Bloodwork came back negative today so AF should arrive in the next day or so. Tomorrow I meet with the doctor to discuss our next step since he does not want to continue with clomid. I'm definitely feeling down today, I just want to finally be the one to be pregnant. As I'm sure we all do. I had a great weekend with all of my girls from home this weekend. But, one of our friends shared with us that she was pregnant. I lost it in front of everyone! Then I felt bad for crying when she was sharing happy news. Oh this rollercoaster has too many ups and downs...I'm just ready to be off this ride!
