Can anyone shed some light on IUI odds?

[alwayshoping]

Hi, I hope you dont mind me joining you on this thread, but I started reading this and can believe what an inspiration it is to me. Ive been trying to conceieve for about 4 years, started on clomid which was inaffective and eventually progressed to IUI. I have just started my Menopur injections yesterday and am due my first scan friday. I am quite nervious about the whole thing and there dont seem to be many people who actually understand what it is that I am going through. I am thrilled to find a place that I can maybe share my thoughts and feelings and get such positivity from at the same time. congratulations to all of you that have recently had your BFP.

Welcome alwayshoping!!

I'm so excited for your first scan!! I'm due to start the IUI process as soon as my cycle starts again. (any day now) and I love hear about what is going to happen.

Lets hope for your BPF too!!

Thanks CaseyBaby, Im sure you are very excited to start the IUI process I know I was. I am a little nervous as my consultant has mentioned that if I over or understimulate I may be take off IUI to start IVF but there is a 1 years waiting list and its been so long getting here already. Im keeping my fingers crossed that the Menopur will be enough for me to get a good reaction so I can at least get to the start of the 2ww. Here's hoping that the scan on friday looks good.

YEY!!

My Clinic just says that if I over or under stimulate they will cancel the cycle and I will have to wait until next cycle to start the process again.

That's more so with the overstimulating. If I under stimulate they will give me more medicine to help the egg grow...

 

[alwayshoping]

My understanding for myself is if I understimulate they will allow me 1 more try the next cycle at a higher dose but if i understimulate on the second i will have to be put on the waiting list for IVF if i over stimulate at all its automatically stopped and on to the waiting list from there. Its not that I mind having to go through IVF if thats what it would take but I really dont want to have to wait another year. Im trying to keep a positive outlook and seeing how many people on this site have concieved with IUI im more positive than ever. Here is hoping that you start your IUI soon and that you BFP is just around the corner. I have my fingers crossed.

Alwayshoping: I really hope that this is your month. A lot of girls on here have had success the first time.
I'm so excited I can't stand it. I'm sure you are too.
Don't worry about the things you can't control. Just visualize. You WILL get your BFP!!

hi alwayshoping! I am on my first cycle of IUI this month too, my scan is due on Monday! I am on daily injections of Buserilen and Puregon at the moment which is fun (I never realised how hard it would be to stab myself with a needle!!) and assuming my scan is OK, we hope to have the IUI next Wednesday or Thursday. It is great knowing that someone else is going through it all too!! *hugs* for you and fingers crossed that this cycle works for both of us!

I am dreading the two week wait this time, think it will be the longest two weeks of my life!! So excited after reading all the success stories here though!

How long did you have to wait after the wash of the DH spermies before the iui took place?

 

[nybison1978]

Caseybaby,

He went at 11am , I went at 12pm, the Doc ddint show up to 12:30pm, we were out by 1pm.

 

[CaseyBaby718]

awesome! I like that! In Out, on with your life.

 

[MarsMaiden]

nybison - FX that this is the one for you! Great to know that the IUI itself is quick and painless too!!

 

[MarsMaiden]

LOL, talk about stress! My DH is away for work at the moment and meant to be flying home tomorrow but looks highly unlikely to make it because of the volcanic ash that has shut all the airports down!! Our IUI should be on Wednesday, lets hope he makes it back by then or all these drugs and injections will have been for nothing!


Also, I have been reacting a little bit to the Buserelin injection (aka Suprecor), my leg just gets a bit of a welt around the injection point that hangs around for a couple hours before going down, the other injection is fine. Has anyone else experienced this? Is it anything to worry about? The drugs would still be doing their thing right?

 

[CaseyBaby718]

Oh dear!! MarsMaiden! I hope that your DH comes home soon!! Darn that volcanic Ash!!!

 

[nybison1978]

Just checking in, still no side effects to any of the medicine and no signs of pregnancy. I hope no sign is a good sign. Prayers to alll......
