Anyone doing IUI?

[MKaykes]

Sorry for your losses Rayne, I can't imagine what that would be like and I'm sure it's scary to jump back in. Have they monitored your progesterone post-O? Hope you have better experiences this time around!

 

[NovemberRayne]

Thank you MKaykes.. it's so scary to start again because both my partner and donor are so excited, we didn't tell him about our loss in August as I knew it would break his heart.

My clinic didn't really monitor me post O, just the 'day 21' bloods which were fine too. The only thing they did find was that I did have a clotting issue. Which means Aspirin and blood thinners for the entire pregnancy but that's only something I can do once a BFP is confirmed.

I really hope we have a better outcome next time 😊

Good luck with everything November - I hope your luck turns around soon.

Hi guys, is it ok if I join the thread? Heading into round 2 of natural cycle IUI, probably ovulating this week sometime! TTC my third and last.

Welcome to the new joiners! Rayne, I am so sorry for all you have gone through as part of your TTC journey, but I hope you get your little miracle soon!

I am right smack in the middle of my tww...I am 9/10 dpiui (we do back to back days) and I haven't tested yet!!! I am so proud of myself because I've got tests for days just begging me to use them, within arms reach of the toilet none the less, and I have resisted the urge. I'm usually peeing on sticks 2 minutes after I ovulate, so I am demonstrating some serious willpower this time around

Just wanted to share my proud moment with you all

Anyone else have any updates?

 

[S_secret]

Good job maybe!! Crossing everything it's a bfp for you! When's the beta?

 

[Savasanna]

Impressive restraint, Maybe! Are you going to hold out for beta or are you planning on testing at some point? GL!

 

[Tristansmom]

Wow, I always want to pee on all the sticks lol... FX for you!!!

 

[maybe_baby_]

Thanks guys! I am pretttyyyyy proud of myself, as you can tell hahaha

Planning to test this weekend.. hoping to hold out until Saturday morning which will be a miracle, but I'm really trying. I've got this great image in my head that I'm going to get a blazing positive 14dpiui and be able to share it with DH since it will be the weekend. Girl can dream, right?

AF is due on Sunday, and beta is Monday if she's not here by then. I am really feeling positive and trying not to stress this time around, so hoping my patience is rewarded with a sticky bfp!

Also, LOL at "I always want to pee on all the sticks" hahaha I know that feeling all too well Tristansmom! haha

maybe_baby_ & Savasanna thank you both for the welcome 😊

Really hoping we'll have a little sticky peanut soon. Although we didn't have the outcome we wanted, the IUI worked.. hopefully it will again

maybe_baby_ I can't believe you haven't tested, well done.. I have no restraint, I couldn't do it myself 😂

 

[Savasanna]

Another reason to hold off - I tested at 12dpiui and got a negative. So a test right now may not even be worthwhile.

Can't wait until Sunday!

Ahhh this gives me even more staying power, knowing it's probably too early anyway. I'm still going strong! Thought about grabbing one of those bad boys out from under the sink this morning, but stopped myself

What's going on with you Sav? When will you get your next update?

 

[Savasanna]

My next scan is Friday. Last Friday there was just a gestational sac. No yolk sac or fetal pole. So obviously, the hope is to see that. I'd LOVE to see a hb, but I'll be happy with just the progression to a fetal pole. I'm not sure whether a week is enough time to go from an empty sac to a full on heartbeat.

Basically my entire week has been just sitting around waiting for Friday to get here!

 

[Tristansmom]

Had my IUI appointment this morning - nurse said my cervix looked great (uh, thanks?) lol

The TWW starts now!

 

[Savasanna]

Good luck, Tristan!

and lol - when I used to do IUIs at my OB they would always comment on "what fabulous cervical mucus" I have. uhhhhh... thank you?

 

[Tristansmom]

Lol savasanna I know, I wasn't really sure what the appropriate response was 😂😂😂

 

[MKaykes]

Good luck Tristans mom!

CD 1 for me today... insurance told me they won't cover another injectable IUI cycle, so we are going to move on to IVF. Waiting for my nurse to call me back so we can discuss timing. Don't know that I was ready to move to IVF so quickly, but hoping it's the answer for us.

 

[MKaykes]

Maybe - Sorry to see ypur BFN. I can inderstand being taken aback anx not expecting IVF so quickly. Do you have a good grasp on what your insurance will cover with IVF? Seems a lot of insurance plans have weird stipulations on reproductive coverages. Wish they would just let doctors decide what is the best course for theor patient. We certainl all are not created equal! Mine just gives me 1 clinic option, and a dollar limit but since we wanted to choose our on doctor we've been paying out of pocket so far.

Tristansmom, joining you in the TWW!

IUI #3 this morning after Ovidrel yesterday. Feeling hopeful!

 

[Savasanna]

Sorry to hear that Maybe. I'm also surprised your insurance is pushing you toward IVF. You'd think most would encourage more IUIs as they're cheaper. In any event, although it feels like it's being sprung on you quickly, I hope IVF leads you to your baby quickly.
