Hello everyone! My question is for those of you who have done AT HOME IUI/ICI. Sooo I posted another thread where I talked about my journey. I am TTC #1 and I have an appointment scheduled with a fertility specialist for this coming Wednesday January 25th. I also currently started a new cycle (CD 3 currently). In the mean time of going to the fertility specialist I want to try one more round of at home ICI. I purchased frozen IUI vials (because I know ICI placed to close to the cervix can be dangerous! So I got IUI to be safe). Sooo for 3 cycles now (since I lost wieght) my cycles have been like clockwork 27 days long. So I used an online calculator and it's dying my predicted "fertile window" is from January 27th- February 1st. (I will also be using OPK's and CM to help pinpoint O). But my question is for those ladies who have done IUI/ICI by YOURSELF! No partner. A couple of questions (sorry if TMI):
1) How many Vials/samples did you use?
2.) When did you inseminate (what CD's/Days before/after O)
3.) HOW did you do it... soft cups? Syringe?
4.) Did you keep legs up? Use any type of sperm friendly lubricant?
5.) How many cycles did it take you to get pregnant?
6.) Did it work?
Thank in advanced everyone!
My back story below IF you'd like to read!:
So I am recently separated (he didn't want to continue TTC, basically he gave up!) However, I still want to be a mommy and I am still TTC on my own! I KNEW I obviously had to lose wieght before I started my journey! I used to be (402lbs horrible I know!!) I am currently 280lbs my weight will NOT budge! I have been heavy my entire life and it's always been a struggle. I don't have any officially diagnosed fertility problems but I suspect I have PCOS. Which would contribute to the weight.
