Anyone doing IUI?

[MKaykes]

Hehe Tristansmom 😊 that's like back in college days my friends who were nervous every month they were pg even if they hadn't had sex in months. We've laughed about it now since it turns out its harder than we thought to get pregnant! Frustrating though since I'm sure your anxious for this final go around! Would you consider getting more DS to do more? I assume what you have left is the same donor you had with your daughter?

 

[Tristansmom]

CD1!! My injection class is scheduled for this afternoon (I've never done a medicated cycle before, exciting!)

The DS story is kind of complicated - my wife is actually trans, so it's hers from pre-surgery. So our daughter is genetically hers, which is pretty awesome. Having said that, we've decided that if this doesn't work we aren't going to look into getting other DS (we would have if we didn't already have our daughter, but costs and age are a deciding factor here - my wife will be 43 this summer).

 

[MKaykes]

Good luck with all the injections! Hoping this works for you!

That's pretty cool that your wife did that so your kids together are genetically both of yours! I can understand your choice to not go with a donor.

Hi. I am wondering who else is doing an IUI this cycle? I did my first ever IUI last cycle and got AF. If all goes well on my ultrasound on March 12th, I'll be doing an IUI again either on the 13th or shortly after. Both last cycle and this cycle I am taking Clomid and Ovidrel as well. Wondering if maybe just maybe the second try may work?!?!

Hi ladies - after a year of ttc and 3 failed rounds of clomid we are set to start clomid + IUI next cycle. I'm about a week away from AF I think (didn't test or chart this cycle). I'm excited but mostly nervous!

Sorry for the lack of postings! I was kind of down and neglected this site for a few weeks.

My IUI was unsuccessful

DH and I are taking a break from the doctors due to no insurance coverage. We are going on vacation in a few months and want to save up for that so we can have a nice long relaxing break from everything.

Work has been super stressful for me as of late, so I think getting a break will help out overall.

We are still trying on our own in the meantime. I'm even looking into some natural aids to help balance my hormones so I can hopefully ovulate on my own. My lining was also not great when I did my IUI (only 5.8 on CD12) so I'm eating foods and looking into supplements to help that out as well.

I got a super dark OPK today so its onto BD for us these next few days

 

[LAR83]

Ask4Joy-- Good luck with your next cycle! I hope it works out for you.

Ameronica- Sorry to hear the IUI was unsuccessful. It's nice you get to take a bit of a break and go away on vacation though! And I am glad to hear you got a positive OPK. Maybe you will get a BFP naturally, you never know. Best of luck to you!


I just had a CD12 ultrasound today and was told I have three mature follicles!! (19, 21, and 23mm). I was really surprised. Last cycle on Clomid, I only had one mature follicle. I got a shot of Ovidrel today and am doing an IUI tomorrow morning. I really hope one or two of them becomes a baby, but I am trying not to get my hopes up too much because I know it's possible that I still might not become pregnant even with three mature follicles. I am set to test on March 28th if I don't get my period before then. I'm excited and nervous.

Best of luck LAR83, keep us posted! Im on my IUI cycle #4 and will be my last. I had mine done on 11th Mar and will be testing around 20th! Blood test is on 24th

I did my third IUI on Monday, March 13th too. Only had one mature follicle... it was 28mm in the morning at 8am and I did the IUI at 6pm.. 46 hours after trigger with donor sperm. My 2nd IUI was successful, but I had a miscarriage. I find out on March 26th if this cycle worked. Good luck to you. I hope we are both successful and share the same due date!

 

[LAR83]

Dani- sorry to hear you had a miscarriage recently I hope this one works for you! I did my IUI around 9:30/10am on March 13th. I was told not to test until the 28th though. I am afraid to test early because the Ovidrel could give me a false positive. It's also very likely AF could show up before the 28th because my cycle is on the shorter side sometimes. Anyway, good luck! Fx you get your BFP with a sticky bean! Let me know.

Hope- good luck to you too! How come this is the last time? Will you be trying something else?

As this is our 4th IUI with no success so far, we are thinking to take a break after this cycle for a while. Come around June, it will be 2 years since we started TTC, so maybe we will start look at other options, DH really wanna adopt.
How long have you been TTC?

On the side note, I caved in and tested today (9 DPO), BFN. but still hoping for a BFP in few days

 

[LAR83]

I tried for about a year and then went to see an RE this past January. This is my second IUI so far. My doctor said that I could try IUI for 3-6 cycles and then look into IVF if I want. My insurance covers 4 rounds of IUI, and I am not thrilled about the idea of IVF, so I am hoping I get a BFP within my first 4 tries.

Good luck! I hope you get your BFP this cycle!

LAR83, how are you feeling?
Its 11 DPO for me, BFNs so far
And feel like witch is on her way, ahhhhhh
3 more days until she is due and am afraid I am out this month.

Do you have any symptoms so far? Are you temping or checking CP?

 

[LAR83]

Hi Hope. Sorry to hear that You aren't out until you're out though.

I am doing ok. I haven't felt much differently, but I did get a single reddish brown spot on my underwear yesterday, at 7dpo. I am hopeful, but also trying to stay level-headed. I have never tried temping or checking CP before.

 

[HopeBT]

Red spot sounds so promising, hopefully implantation bleeding. Keep me posted please, praying for you

AFM, 12 dpo, BFN and lots of AF cramps/ovary pain, low firm CP. So probably onto next month

Thanks Hope! That is sweet of you. I hope you're not out. You still have a blood test in a couple days? Keep me posted.

 

[HopeBT]

LAR83, I got my period on the day I was scheduled for blood test, so there is that. Taking a break from TTC starting this month until I feel brave enough to come back.
Hows everything going for you? Only 1 day left for testing right?
Let me know, let me knoww

Thanks Hope! That is sweet of you. I hope you're not out. You still have a blood test in a couple days? Keep me posted.

 

[LAR83]

Hi hope. Sorry to hear that Last month i got period about 3 days before I was scheduled to test. This time I still haven't gotten it. I am not late though because my cycles aren't very regular and I have had longer cycles than this in the recent past. I am hopeful but also very nervous. Will you be not trying, not preventing for a little while?

 

[Tristansmom]

Hi all, I fell off the radar for a bit there - quick update:

First medicated cycel was cancelled with no insemination due to low E2 levels (only developed 1 ok-looking follie and E2 levels started falling around day 9).

Currently on second cycle, it looked like my E2 was crummy again but the dr added Luveris to my meds (was only doing Gonal-F previously) and it looks to have done the trick - went from 294 to 382 in 24 hours, having another blood test tomorrow morning, hoping to see 600+. Follicles are 14, 12, and 11. Hoping at least 1 is good!

 

[LAR83]

Congrats Tristansmom! So glad to hear the medication is working for you!
