Anyone doing IUI?

[Tristansmom]

5 (or 6?) dpIUI... I dunno, guys, I had a nasty bout of stomach flu basically right before my IUI so I'm not feeling really hopeful. The clinic assured me several times that it wouldn't affect things, I definitely ovulated, but I'm just not convinced.

I have a short LP (10-11 days) so planning to test Friday or Saturday. Anyone else?

Anyone ever spot after IUI? I never have spotting except with AF. Today I'm 2 dpiui and had EWCM yesterday and today, today along with bright spotting. Ovulation spotting? Never had that before but maybe it's a good sign for a nice strong O? Going timing vwas right though since we did the IUI 2 days ago. I triggered Fri morning.

I spot after IUI - it's from the catheter going into the cervix and back out, it can dislodge a little bit of lining when it's in there. Good sign means it went to the right place

I went for monitoring yesterday 1 follie at 15mm, they asked me back today and it was 20mm with my lining measuring 9.5mm - I don't know what is a good size with lining.

They confirmed I was surging but surprisingly they just decided to give me a trigger shot & I'll have the IUI tomorrow. I'm still waiting for a confirmed time. I'm pretty anxious and excited.. keeping everything crossed 😊

 

[MKaykes]

Rayne those numbers sound perfect! My lining was 7.9 (for sure 7-something) and they said that was good, but what I've read sounds like 8-9 is best.

 

[NovemberRayne]

MKaykes Thank you 😊 I had no idea what was good and I forgot to ask in all the rush of being prescribed the trigger last minute..

 

[NovemberRayne]

Officially now in the two week wait!!
Had the IUI done at 2pm so approximately 28 hrs after trigger.

I can't remember the post thaw sperm count but it had 99% motility.

I think the trigger has got to me already. I had left side cramping around 1am last night. Just after the IUI today I asked my partner to do something for me and she said 'of course, afterall you could be carrying our baby soon' I cried for a good few minutes 😂😂

Now we wait *crosses fingers*

 

[Tristansmom]

Rayne that's so exciting!! I am 7 dpo (I think, depends how long after my surge I O'd) and 7 dpIUI, planning to test Saturday I think... AF is due Sunday (short luteal phase) so here's hoping!!

Congrats, Rayne! Finger's crossed for you!

 

[NovemberRayne]

Tristansmom good luck & lots of babydust for test day 😊😊

Congrats on your recent BFP Savasanna ❤️❤️

Has anyone been triggered here before? I'm interested to find out what the TWW was like with it.

I triggered with my IUI. The injection wasn't horrible but the injection site was tender for a couple days. I could feel a lot of uncomfortable pressure the day I ovulated was uncomfortable walking and sitting for about a half a day. I also tested out the trigger shot. For me it was gone by 9dpiui

 

[MKaykes]

I've triggered the last 3 cycles with my IUIs (with Ovidrel). I didn't have any different symptoms during the TWW and didn't notice anything with trigger symptoms at all comparing to my many cycles without a trigger. I've never "tested out" my trigger but did test like 3 dpo once just hoping to see a positive pregnancy test from the HCG (knowing it didn't mean I was pg) but I must process it pretty quick as I barely had a line even then. My clinic has me do a hpt 14 days after trigger.

 

[NovemberRayne]

Thank you so much ladies for sharing your experiences.

I've had no pain at the injection site but I had pain/cramps/heaviness similar to bad period pain which seems to have gone now thankfully. I also feel exhausted, so exhausted it's unreal I can't stop napping

 

[Savasanna]

I triggered this past cycle. The injection was nothing but the injection site was itchy for a day or two after. I did cramp throughout the entire TWW. Like, starting a day or two after the IUI so I knew it was not pregnancy related. Although I've had super crampy TWWs from clomid before so I just assumed it was from that. I tested at 10dptrigger and there was a faint line, so watch out for early testing if you're not planning on testing out the trigger.

And thanks! I have a scan today so fx everything looks good and healthy!

 

[NovemberRayne]

Savasanna how did your scan go?? I hope all was well!! ❤️

I tried an IC today with FMU but nothing showed which was worrying as I thought I would get a positive being more than 48hrs post trigger 😞

 

[Tristansmom]

9-ish dpo and broke down and tested... Bfn of course. I had some brownish-red discharge up by my cervix yesterday and was sure AF would come today but so far nothing so still hopeful (though not terribly optimistic)...

 

[NovemberRayne]

Keep being hopeful, it's not over, 9dpo is still so early, wishing you loads of baby dust xx

 

[Savasanna]

Tristan - any updates?

Rayne - I agree that it's pretty odd you got a bfn 48 hours after you triggered. Maybe it was a faulty test? How are you feeling now?

AFM - My scan last week was good! Baby was 1cm long and had a hb of 148. I'm having an intake appointment with my OB on Thursday but I think that was probably my last scan for a while. bummer.

 

[NovemberRayne]

Savasanna aww congratulations, glad the scan went well and baby is doing fine 😍

I'm doing better now, I felt awful for a good few days post HCG.. I kept trying to test the trigger but the ICs I had continually showed nothing.. I've resigned myself to thinking they're duds lol

CD2 over here :'(

We only have 2 straws of semen left, enough for one hail-mary shot at IUI (about 1 million motile sperm, recommended minimum is 5 million).

I'm seriously debating taking out a loan and just doing IVF... I dunno. I'll be talking to my clinic later today I hope.
