Anyone doing an IUI in October?

[Prayerful]

Hi all! I'm new to this thread. I'm 29 and DH is 28. We've been seeing an RE since March 2012, TTC #1. I am going tomorrow for my first IUI. I'm so excited!! And I'm optimistic for the first time in months!

Good luck to all of you who are already in your TWW, and to anyone else who has yet to have their IUI this month!!

Welcome to all the newcomers and good luck in your two!

How about the rest of you - who else is testing this week?

AFM - thought I was due wed, but I am actually only due Friday, so will wait till the weekend to test. Think I have a cyst as I have been feeling something on the right hand side of my uterus, but I have had this in previous months so know it is not an early sign. Currently 12dpiui.

For those of you on the East Coast . . . . keep safe - its already getting very windy outside!

1st IUI...Negative this morning. Expecting stupid AF tomorrow. Sorry Lindsay

Sorry 14mex about your bfn. Will you be trying another iui?

Keeping Faith-
I will try next month. We gave ourselves four cycles to try this. I think we were too late on the day we came in. So just trying not to get super down!

hey everyone,
I'm kind of new on the boards although have been lurking for forever. I am having my first IUI this cycle - I saw there were threads for Sept and August Iuis and wanted to see if there is anyone else cycling this month??

Maybe we can keep track?

BFP!!!!

14mex I'm so happy that you will be trying again! Don't give up my friend your turn is next.

As for me I tested today and got a bfp this makes me 15dpo so I'm very excited and scared at at the same time. I'm scheduled for blood work Wednesday morning to see if this bfp is real. I went to the doctor today and she said to wait To more days to make sure it's not hcg trigger still in my system but that was two weeks ago. So we will see Wednesday what happens. Sorry for the long post.

So today was my first IUI! Post wash, the count was 200 mil and approx 80% had good motility... I think that is about 160 mil. On Friday I had 3 follies... 19, 13, 12.5. I am praying that this is going to be my month!

Those are amazing numbers! 4 mature follies is great, and so is your DH's count. I am hoping that you have a successful cycle!

Thank you! Sorry about your negative

Sorry about the negative I know it's hard. I hope that you'll get your BFP soon.

I think that by now the HCG should be out of your system. I kind of cheated-- I tested the trigger out, meaning I took a few pregnancy tests until the positive was gone. So that way I knew if I tested that it was likely positive. Please let us know how the bloodwork goes!

Oh, wow, amazing numbers! Keeping my fingers crossed for you!

DH is just on a regular men's multivitamin. He hasn't changed anything diet-wise. I have seen that the weather can affect sperm count... our previous 2 IUI's were in the summer, and it was hot. It had been about 1.5-2 days since we BDed. I was shocked by the jump in his numbers, too! You should have seen my face

Well ladies, spotting, cramping, PMS ..... All the signs that AF is on her way. Can't believe it didn't work. So depressed and just want to throw in the towel.

I guess it's on to iui # 2.

 

[vitabella]

AF showed up yesterday...onto IUI cycle #3
I think DH is getting a little discouraged because we have unexplained infertility - so to him, he doesn't understand why its so difficult and why it's not working.
We're changing meds this cycle, I was on 50mg clomid w/trigger shot...kind of wondering what he's going to put me on.

Congrats to the ladies who received their BFP!

Oh, I'm sorry honey! That's how it was for us too. We did two cycles on Clomid, and our FS ran every test and there was nothing preventing us. But... obviously there was something, ya know? Just hang in there. I can't wait til you get your BFP! Maybe ask about injectables? That's what our FS did after two failed Clomid cycles, because we're unexplained.

I'm sorry the first IUI didn't work for you. Don't throw in the towel. I know it's hard. If you guys need a break, take it. I'm really sorry

Thanks Jen!
I too have been diagnosed with unexplained infertility...it's such a tough pill to swallow because I am completely healthy; I don't drink, smoke, or do drugs! My husband and I have such a great marriage - he is truly my other half... we agree completely on all aspects of raising a family and so forth, yet NOTHING! DH has 2 children from previous relationships, so they can say unexplained all they want obviously there is something - something just isn't meshing with me - right? Why is this the one thing I want more than anything in the world, what I know I am meant to be...yet I can not obtain it?
I go in tomorrow morning for bloodwork and ultrasound...also to discuss new medication. He was going to have me do injectables after 3 cycles of clomid, but I haven't had a good reaction to clomid - so I'm going to request injectables early. Cross your fingers that he bites

 

[vitabella]

I need to vent... I need to get out these feelings before I go NUTS!

I don't meant to offend anyone going through this also and by NO means do I mean to come off rude or nasty when I say the things I'm going to say... but I feel so cheated!
I am 25 years old, why the heck is this happening to me!?!
Women look at me when I'm at the RE office for appointments like I shouldn't be there, like I'm a baby myself and I don't belong there... unfortuniately I am apart of the club no woman wants to be apart of
DH and I started TTC since 2009... I was only 22!
Looking back at all the doctors who blew me off and said
"...you are too young to be worrying about this..."
"...there is nothing wrong with you, you shouldn't even be worrying about having babies yet..."
"...we'll schedule these tests in 12mo...lets give it another 6mo..."
GRRRRRRR!
It pisses me off so much! Maybe if they did something about the pains I was having, maybe if they stopped blowing it off as just ovarian cyst ruptures and actually did what my most recent GYN did (lap. surgery) they would have realized that those weren't cyst...what they thought were cyst were in fact my tubes inflammed due to scar tissue surrounding them. My GYN cleared it all out and my HSG in Aug. revealed a perfect uterus and my right tube in fabulous condition and my left tube in good condition (they had to tilit and turn me before the ink went through the tube)...but I the longer it takes to get my BFP, the more IUI's don't work...the more my anger comes out.
Not just at the medical aspect, but also with the people who treat their kids like crap...do drugs...have multiple children while not being able to provide for the ones they already have...having children outside of their marriage...It all makes me mad!
I come from a very large italian family and all of my siblings has children...and they all have had most (if not all) of their children outside of marriage and/or with multiple people... each of my siblings have had at least 1 abortion (2 of my sisters had 1 abortion each, one of my sisters had at least 2 that I know of, 1 brother has had (not by his choice) at least 5 of his children aborted, and my other brother has had at least 2 that I have been told about... mind you they all have living children and could pop out more if they so desired like a pez dispenser). This drives me crazy... I did it the right way! I got married...my husband and I support ourselves...why isn't this happening for us!?!?

For the last 3 and a half years I have never broken down, never blew up like this...I have always stayed positive and have always maintained that this IS going to happen, we will be blessed with our baby(ies)...it's just a matter of when. But now, 2 cycles into a 6 cycle plan - moving onto cycle 3, I'm getting discouraged...
What is my life going to be like not having my own children to raise?!
I have dreams still to reach...goals still to obtain...a life still to live...this I know, but never once when dreaming those dreams, setting those goals, or planning that life did I ever have to imagine a house full of children not being a part of it.... until now

2 lines - no no, there is no we . . . too scared to test early - seen waaaayyyyyy to many blank spaces (negatives) in my day. I was thinking of testing on halloween - thats 14dpiui for me. It is my birthday on the 27th though . . .

I'm out! How about you?

Awhhh don't be depressed! I'm going for a 4th might try injectables. I figure it's a heck of a lot easier & cheaper than IVF.

Thanks prayerful! The blood test went great my levels we at 80 the doctor said that was normal since I'm so early in pregancy. I go tommorrow for another blood test to make sure my levels are doubling. This was my first cycle taking Femara from CD3-7 went in for an Ultrasound and my follies were not big enough so They had me take Femara for two more days so a week total then i triiger with an injection of hcg. I was going to do an IUI, but we dediced to try bd natural. Then came the TWW which I did noy feel anything. I told My husband I think it did not work, and we were already planning on what we were going to do next cycle. last couple of days of my TWW my breast became really sore, but that was my only sysmtom. Good luck to you all!
