Anyone doing IUI?

[S_secret]

Maybe it sounds like everything is going good for you. That's amazing!! I haven't started yet. First scan is Jan 9 and shots start Jan 10. Waiting waiting waiting.

Hi ladies, Im new here! It has been 9 days since I had my first IUI with 100mg clomid and Trigger shot. I have a call in to my nurse but just curious if this has happened to anyone else, I woke up in the middle of the night lastnight with some cramping which has been happening since I had the IUI but this time I was soaked in clear sticky fluid, it was everywhere!! I actually thought I had gotten my period but it was all clear like a watery fluid. So strange!! Anyone else experience this?

Hi there, would love to join in the IUI chatter! I'm 8dpiui #2. Was told to increase my progesterone suppositories to 3x a day as of today, so that'll be fun!

 

[S_secret]

Progesterone blech not
Looking forward to that!

We do. It's sometimes a bit overwhelming but we're hoping to adopt so we keep going with it. However, it's possible this will be our last placement. Being a foster parent is really hard.

I tested again last night and it was neg. So the faint positive on Sunday was the last day of the trigger. Good to know. So now I'm just hanging out until Thursday.

Savasanna what's going on? Thinking about you

My update - My beta on the 22nd ended up coming back at 6.9 - which is so ridiculously low that we didn't even consider it a BFP. However, my repeat beta on the 27th was 104 which is a 23.5 hour doubling time. Not out of the woods yet but promising! I have a third beta tomorrow morning. Fx for a good number! I can't believe the IUI actually worked!

(sorry for not getting back to you. We had quite a dramatic weekend where we thought our previous placement (Fish and Panda) were returning.. but that ended up not being the case )

Ahh Secret it will be here before you know it!! I hope you will stick around on this thread and continue to share your journey with us

Sav, we are anxious for an update.. keeping my fingers crossed for some good news!!

I had another scan this morning.. I have a 16mm on my left, and a 15mm and 13mm on my right. Waiting for my nurse to call with dosage instructions, and hopeful that the 13mm will catch up to give us 3 good targets! Going back tomorrow morning to check on the follicle growth. As long as all looks good, I imagine I will trigger tomorrow night with IUI on Saturday and Sunday. Happy New Year!! Hahaha

 

[S_secret]

Sava sorry about fish and panda. That must be sad. However yay on a beta number!!

Maybe sounds like things are
Icing along well for you. Three follies is what I had too!

 

[Savasanna]

Maybe - what an exciting way to start of 2017!

Don't have any experience with this. We're you able to get ahold of the nurse?

 

[Savasanna]

Gearhart - I haven't experienced that, however, my experience with Clomid is that it can do alllllll sorts of funny things to your body. Have you taken Clomid before? Generally, on Clomid months, I literally chalk EVERYTHING up to that!

any updates?

 

[S_secret]

So....updates everyone?!? I am presently living vicariously through all of you. 11 more days of waiting to start stims for me. Feels like 111 more days

It will be here before you know it!!

I ended up triggering on Friday night (in a restaurant bathroom since we had dinner plans ) and had IUI on Saturday and Sunday. I ended up with 2 good follies (19 & 20, if I remember correctly). Lining was 7.8, and DH post wash motile count was 10million on day one and 8million on day 2, so good numbers there too. I have decided I am not testing out the trigger. I did it last time and drove myself nuts, so I am sitting back and relaxing this cycle. I have a beta scheduled on Monday January 16, so will try to hold out to test until the weekend just before.

 

[S_secret]

Lol the things we will do for these babies! I suspect I will be having some shots done in bathrooms as well in the coming future.

I agree with you on testing out the trigger. I did it with our IUI as well and it was stressful. However I did keep one of the tests that had two lines in case I never see one again. I have also given up temping which is so liberating!

6 sleeps!

 

[Savasanna]

Good for you! I COMPLETELY support giving up temping. It's the WORST!

My update is that my betas have been good but my RE has, for some reason, continued to be super cautious over the whole thing. They had me come in for an ultrasound today (I'm 5w2d.. with a late implanter) and we, of course, saw nothing. They tried to reassure me over and over that I'm super early and it's not cause for concern to not see something yet, but of course it was unnerving. They did a beta so I'm waiting on those results. If the beta is where it should be then I won't worry. Just need that little ole phone to ring...

 

[MKaykes]

I did one test 3 days post trigger last month just to see a 2nd line, like you said secret, in case I never see one! It was super light thogh and quite disappointing! Mayne in Jan I'll test day 1 of trigger! I'm not one to test early I pretty much always wait close to the full 2 weeks so am not worried about lingering trigger HCG.

 

[S_secret]

Oh Sava good luck on the beta number. They look good based on your signature. Why the early us? Isn't 5w like
Really early? I have no idea tbh.

Mk what is your protocol this time?

 

[Savasanna]

It is pretty early, yea. They said they wanted to make sure it's not ectopic?? which is a little confusing to me because it was my understanding that ectopic betas don't double and my last comparison had a doubling time of 28 hours. So I don't know. Honestly part of me just wondered if they wanted another billable in the ultrasound. Pretty disappointing though. Even though I know it's early it's disheartening to see nothing on that screen.

 

[mummyoneday]

That is so exciting! Was this your first cycle with medication? How was the IUI? My husband and I are in limbo as to do IUI or TI...

I had four cycles of letrozole and times intercourse and they didn't work. The IUI was totally fine, lots of cramping from enlarged follies but other than that it was easy!

I'm not hun but didn't want to read and run. Dental hygienist in my work did though and it worked first time. Sprinkling lots of baby dust your way xx

Hi guys,

I hope you don't mind me joining. I'm part of a same sex couple, we've been together 6 years & been engaged for 5 of them. Our donor is a gay man, who I've been close friends with since I was 18.

I was last here during the summer where I had my first IUI in August. Although it worked, it unfortunately ended in a chemical pregnancy. :Cry:

As I had previous early losses my clinic had me do further tests to maybe find out why I keep having miscarriages. Everything came back fine & my egg reserves are great considering I'm 35. On paper it seems I'm fertile, but I just can't seem to support a pregnancy beyond 10 weeks.

I'm currently on CD2 and have started Tamoxifen again, I'll start monitoring at the clinic on CD10. I'm absolutely petrified to start trying again. The losses hurt too much.

I wish you all the best of luck
