I have looked into iui costing here and it's quite expensive at £800, not sure what that would be in your neck of the woods? X

wow thats so expensive! thats about $1200. I paid $325 which is about £200, wish it was that cheap for all of you as I feel more people would try it.

for those of you interesting in IUI stats I found a great thread with IUI success stories where people put a lot of detail about their BFPs....

Have a great time Sarah and I know we will see your BFP when you get back! So, go ahead and buy the Chloe bag, lol. Besides, with the exchange rate in your favor and lower taxes, it's a steal! BTW, have you ever looked at See by Chloe? Great stuff and a little less expensive.

nothing new to update on my end... just waiting for AF to arrive so I can go in for my cd3 bloodwork and u/s and then start the injections....

everyone! hope you all had a great weekend.

so mine turned out to be chemical...my doctor was nice and she says if I want she can write me a prescription for progesterone but says that scientifically it has not been proven to make a difference...either way, good news is I called to make an appointment again with the fertility specialist and someone had JUST CANCELED.. I met with the fertility specialist for tomorrow at 1pm!

So happy about that...otherwise the typical wait is 2 weeks!

I met with my FS for the first time this morning. He gave the thumbs up to start IUI next month, if not already PG. So excited. He said IUI almost double's your chance of pregnancy which is excellent news.

He also mentioned that there is no reason to take clomid if you are ovulating and know you are ovulating. I was under the impression that clomid gave you super eggs or something and he said - it only helps if you are irregular or do not ovulate. I was glad to hear this as I was not a real fan of clomid. Made me cranky and dried me out horribly.

So Sarah, thanks for posting that information on IUI and keeping us up to date on your story. I feel like I'm following a bit right behind and its nice to know first hand the path.

Fingers crossed its your month!!

yay Im glad everything went well for you. will you be going in for any b/w or u/s?
Im waiting for my AF so I can go in for cd3 and u/s. depending on the results of that, they will tell me how much of the Follistim (injections) I will be taking...
I hope we all get our s

 

[dachsundmom]

Girls, another BFN for me this morning, so I am going to call this cycle done, lol. I refilled my Clomid, Tamoxifen, and bought soy...so I just need to see which one to do. Picking up the orders for DH's new SA tomorrow, so we will see if we are better candidates for IUI or IVF.

Thank you! He didn't feel the need for all of the monitoring since everything appears to be working properly but it was up to me and what I want to pay for. Since my insurance pretty much pays for anything, I figure why not get all the information you can! Right now I'm hoping AF does not show up so I don't even have to worry about it!

Now what is Follistim? Is that the injection to make you ovulate or what is that?

 

[LiSa2010]

sounds great hockey!!
Follistim is supposed to help you produce more follicles. It's like Clomid/Femara but I hear it's better. The shot to make you ovulate is the Trigger (HCG) shot. My doc will let me know when to take that... I will be on Follicle monitoring and going in for b/w and u/s. not sure how many times though being that this is my first time doing all this but Im definitely going in on cd3 for both....
FXed for you..... hope AF stays away

 

[LiSa2010]

everyone! hope you're all doing well

AF arrived yesterday
CD3 - u/s & b/w is scheduled for tomorrow @ 7:15am

I am so excited!!!!!!!!!! I pray that everything goes well and I can start the meds and hopefully there's a at the end of this story...
I'll be getting my meds tomorrow....FXed please please please don't let there be any delays.... and I should be starting them on Friday. soooooo I'll be doing Follistim, HCG Trigger Shot, and IUI. OMG, this is really happening..... Im so praying this works....

IM SO OVER THE MOON RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!

[hockey24]

Yeah Lisa!! So excited for you!!!

 

[LLbean]

I am getting VERY excited about getting IVF...sounds like that will do the trick AND if it happens on my next cycle (since we can't do it on this one yet) the EDD would be my birthday!!!! LOL

 

[crystal443]

I just got our confirmation for IVF for this cycle coming So should be starting the last week of August

LL- Do you know what kind of cycle you'll be on yet?
