3 failed IUIs. How do you cope?

[Nicedips]

Howz everyone doing?
I got my results from the weekend, so far looks good
3 follicles on the right measuring 13,12,11 and few little ones
Few on the left two 12, two 11 and one 10

That's a great start! You'll see you may even get more popping up over the next few days.

I'm doing ok, feeling pretty nauseous but hoping that means my LO is doing well!

 

[Maverick007]

great progress, ND! looking forward to hearing how it goes!

strawberry, ugh the MS got you huh? i feel like i am finally in the clear but every week or so i'll have a day where it comes back. hope you start to feel good soon...when is your u/s or did you have one yet?

 

[StayHopeful]

Nicedips, sounds like things are going well! Keep us posted!

Strawberry, sorry MS got you! Hopefully it stays with just nausea. For a while, ginger ale and Preggie Pops did help me. Mav, glad to hear that yours is fading! I'm jealous, still taking my medicine every day and even then I'm still queasy.

 

[Luciola]

Just check in to see how everyone is doing. I have late ovulation this month (Day 17 instead of Day 13), I think that's because of all the emotional stress linked with our law suits and finance.
Waiting impatiently our last iui and first ivf cycle...!

 

[Strawberry13]

oh thanks for the advice stay! I may try the ginger ale and Preggie pops. Mav my sono is tomorrow! They made me wait so long.... But so so excited and nervous for it!

Luci time will fly once you get to ivf trust me! Sorry to hear about all the stress, I hope things get sorted out these next few months.

Hi ladies,

havent been on here in a while but following everyones progress!
Mav-congrats on entering the second trimester
Strawberry-sorry to hear of the MS but hey it reminds you, you are pregnant
Welcome Luciola, hopefully this last IUI works out for you.
Nicedips when are they estimating egg retrieval for??
Stayhopeful how you doing???

My update, I started taking estrace and will have a scan on Nov 7 to check how thick my lining is. Then if all looks good I will have the FET on Nov 15th. This estrace makes you sooo tired and I am getting horrible headaches. Believe it or not injectables were easier for me. Fingers crossed that I get pregnant from the Frozen cycle. Trying so hard to remain positive, I also started accupuncture to relax me.

 

[Maverick007]

Luciola, I'm sorry to hear all the stress is getting to you, it sounds like a really tough situation. Just try to focus on your own wellbeing as much as possible, I know easier said than done! I pray this next round is the miracle you're waiting for.

Strawberry, yay for your scan tomorrow! I can't wait to hear the results!!

Stay, I can't believe you are still feeling so bad, that really has to be hard. Is the medicine keeping it tolerable at least? I try not to complain too much when I do feel sick b/c I know there was a time I wished for this feeling, but it does really start to wear on you.

Babywish, so happy to hear you've begun the process!! I'm so hopeful for you, pls keep us updated . The estrace caused me headaches at first but after my body adjusted it seemed okay. I hope you get through it allright...did they say how long they want you to take it? I had to take the estrace and crinone up until the end of 10 weeks.

 

[StayHopeful]

Luciola, sorry to hear that everything has been so stressful! I agree, once you get to IVF time flies.

Strawberry, how was your sono today?

Babywish, sorry the estrace is giving you trouble! I'm sending positive thoughts for this FET. It sounds like it's so much easier on your body, I'm hopeful that it will help this time and your body will be relaxed and ready for your little bean.

As long as I take my medicine, I'm okay as far as being sick. It's nothing like it was during the first trimester before they switched my med! I do have waves of nausea occasionally and sometimes a little bit of gagging, but I've only thrown up once since I started this med and most of the time I feel pretty good. I'm getting some energy back too. And I definitely have a noticeable bump now Our gender scan is next week! We're going to wait to find out though, we're doing a gender reveal party with our families on November 16 and we're going to find out with them at the party.

 

[PinkPeony]

That's a great idea Stay! What a nice way to find out the gender. Do you have any hunch?

Babywish I did not enjoy taking the estrace either. I don't think I had too many bad side effects, it was just... Messy. [tmi warning] I had to take it vaginally.... Let's just say blue is not the best colour for those things. Of course well worth it in the end. The acupuncture will help build a nice lining too. I did it throughout my ivf cycle too.

Nicedips, that's an excellent start. Can't wait to hear how things come along.

 

[Strawberry13]

Wow so many updates on here! Babywish that's so great you're already starting on everything... Stinks about the estrace but as the others said your body will be more relaxed this cycle and FETs seem to have such great success rates!!

Stay I love the gender reveal party idea, my friend did one and it was so cute. I'm planning on doing the same 😄

Nicedips how are things? are your ovaries starting to churn out those follicles?

Luci hope you're feeling better today.

AFM my scan yesterday was great, there is just one little bean. HB was 140 and everything was on track. I see my new OB next week!
