3 failed IUIs. How do you cope?

[Luciola]

Just check-in! It has been quiet here. hope everything is going well ladies!

I m gonna start my FET cycle soon !

 

[moni77]

Yay on the FET cycle. I am in the 2ww from IUI #2. Hoping this one sticks!

 

[Dini]

Hoping this one sticks too Moni, do you test again tomorrow??

 

[moni77]

yeah -even though it is still early...

 

[StayHopeful]

Hooray for starting your FET, Luciola! Sending you lots of sticky dust!

Moni, GL testing tomorrow! FX for you!

 

[moni77]

another BFN at dpo11...still early. Next test will be Saturday at dpo14.

 

[Maverick007]

ugh, it's so tough, hang in there moni!

 

[Dini]

Moni I'm testing again Saturday as well. This morning I still had a super faint, more like a squinter line left from the trigger a week ago so tomorrow it should be good and gone. I'm annoyed it isn't gone yet lol.

I got my results of my 7dpo progesterone, it was 15.7, so better than the 9 of last cycle, they wanted it above 15 but I was hoping for more above 15 than that but I'll take what I can get. Looks like I'll probably always have to do the booster. If this cycle doesn't give us a BFP then we are taking a break for many reasons, mostly financial but I also have to have my gallbladder removed ASAP as I ended up in the ER last night and found that a stone is stuck in the outlet of the gallbladder. So if I'm not pregnant we will get that done in the next few weeks, if I am we will figure it out, probably still have it removed after we at least see a heart beat.

 

[moni77]

fxed for you!

 

[StayHopeful]

FX that it's just early for both of you! And Dini, GL with the gall bladder issue! Is that a surgery they can do if you're pregnant?

 

[Luciola]

Bump bump!
How are you mini and dini?

I m on my FET - at last! exciting but scary times...

 

[moni77]

BFN on Sat - waiting for AF...

 

[Maverick007]

I'm so sorry Moni.

Luc, I am sending all the baby dust and good thoughts and prayers your way for your FET!

 

[Luciola]

I am so sorry Moni... what is the next step for you?

Mav, omg, you are already 27 weeks, I remembered I first joined this post you were just about to get your BFP... time flies. Thank you so much for your message! I hope this FET would be a success

 

[moni77]

I am still waiting for AF... we'll probably do another IUI - but I'm going to speak to them about changing up the meds. They are obviously messing with my body. I took the trigger almost 3 weeks ago and still no sign of AF.

(still BFN on tests as well)

 

[StayHopeful]

Moni, so sorry about the bfn. I hope that you get some answers soon

Hooray Luciola, lots of good luck on your FET! Keeping everything crossed for you!

 

[moni77]

I had a tiny bit of spotting yesterday morning (which I normally dont get) so assumed AF was here. Flash forward 30 hours and still nothing else. Guess I'll test again tomorrow morning. Appointment with the doc on Monday either way. Hopefully he'll have some answers about why this is happening...

 

[Luciola]

Hi everyone!
It's at last my turn to get some snowbabies inside me... actually not quite yet but in just about a week. I went in for Day 12 ultrasound today and RE said my follicles were slow growing the 2 biggest being 11.5mm. He said he ll take over the cycle making the natural FET to a "controlled" FET. My lining today was fine at 9.7mm. I m going in again for Day 15 in 3 days and if everything is fine, we will kick start progesterone to prepare the lining - regardless of the follicle growing speed or their maturity.
I see a lot of ladies here have left the post after the success but I d like to continue here just to keep everyone updated... and hope it is my turn this month!

 

[Maverick007]

Moni, I hope they can give you some answers on what is happening. When was AF supposed to be due? We all know how disheartening this process can be so I pray you get some answers that will give you direction soon.

Luc, even though some of us are not as active here anymore, we still support you and hope this is the cycle that works! Good luck and I hope you'll keep updating.

 

[moni77]

Good luck and FXed Luc!!

AF was due on the 25th (2 weeks post IUI). I started lightly on Sunday, but the labs yesterday indicated that it was not a real period. So I am going back for another set of labs on Thursday - hopefully they will show that it has in deed started. He really had no answers as to why my body is taking so long after the trigger. We know I did ovulate because the labs after the trigger indicated so (and my temp went up). He is still pretty positive about everything and wants to keep me on the same meds one more cycle. AF was stronger today so I am hoping Thursdays labs are good. I leave for a vacation abroad next Wed so at this rate it is not likely that we will get in the IUI - but we can still try naturally with the clomid hopefully.
