Can anyone shed some light on IUI odds?

[CaseyBaby718]

sj22, good luck on your cycle this month!!! fx for you!

 

[Joli]

SJ - best of luck on Mon/Tues! How exciting!!!!

NYBison - keeping up the positive thinking and imagining your little beanie implanting!

MrsMaiden - I had different injectables and I had to inject into my stomach underneath my belly button - I did end up with bruises on my tummy, but not the reaction that you're saying - maybe you should check it out with your doc?

 

[sj22]

Marsmaiden - is hubby back? Hope he is able to travel soon.

Caseybaby - when do you think you will start your meds for IUI?

sj22- I am currently taking Provera, since my period is over 35+ days late. I went to the DR and they told me that I hadn't ovulated this month either, and my lining was just hanging out. Today is my first day on provera. so as soon as my period starts, I will be on clomid only with a trigger shot as soon as they say.

 

[sj22]

Hi Caseybaby, is good your doctor is cracking on and hopefully AF will arrive soon. Clomid should produce lots of good follies x

Hi ladies

Me and hubby are due to be starting IUI next month after this af - not sure if we'll be able to as we should be on hols when fertile period is, but it'll be month after if we are.

anyway i was just wondering if anyone has unexplained infertilty? or is there are any success stories with unexplained infertility.

thanks in advance

xx

 

[CaseyBaby718]

mrssunshine. Good luck to you!

I do not have unexplained, I have PCOS.

I hope you get some hopeful success stories for yourself.

 

[sj22]

mrssunshine - my DH sperm doesn't make it through my mucus!

Caseybaby - just read your TTC journey, it's really good and made me think a lot. I really hope this IUI works for you.

SJ22- what you said to mrssunshine is what I suspect of myself. I also think that my uterus is extra combatant.

Thanks about my journal... didn't think it was very thought provoking, but thank you anyway.

 

[sj22]

Caseybaby - it made me think that I'm not the only one who is frustrated and fed up! You can be tested for the mucus by having a post-coital test, although not all clinics offer this. At least that way you will know for sure.

[CaseyBaby718]

Thanks!! Maybe I can ask my clinic about it.

 

[sj22]

Def - at first I was absolutely gutted. But...now i am relieved I know what the problem is and can look to overcome it. Unfortunitly for us DH also has low sperm count; IUI helps with both problems

 

[mrssunshine78]

mrssunshine - my DH sperm doesn't make it through my mucus!




Hiya thanks for that

we've never been tested for anything like that, and it is what i suspect is wrong, but its not one of the routine tests that they do.

good luck to everyone

Hey MrsShinshine - I have PCOS and DH had poor spermys, so the reasons for our infertility were pretty clear! But from all the reading I did on IUI, it was most successful for cases of 'unexplained fertility', so I think it will be great for you!

 

[MarsMaiden]

@Joli yes, I didn't think it was quite right but didn't want to say anything as its really not too bad and I didn't want to be told to stop taking the drugs or abandon the cycle! I have my scan tomorrow so will mention it to the nurses at the clinic then.

sj22 and caseybabey - good luck with your cycles! *hugs*

mrssunshine - we are unexplained so I should be able to update you with some succcess rates in about 2 and a half weeks!

my nightmare continues! My follicle scan is tomorrow and I am sort of hoping that they aren't fully developed yet so that we can have some extra time for hubby to make it home! He is doing so well bless him and is moving hell and high water to try and make it home in time. As I type he is driving from Madrid to Paris to try and find a way home from there. I have to say even if he makes it home I have no idea what the stress will have done to the both of us!

Will keep you all updated!

 

[CaseyBaby718]

MarsMaiden: Praying that your Hubby comes home safe and sound and DESTRESSED! Isn't there an underground train that links france and UK? I hope things work out.

 

[mrssunshine78]

good luck marsmaiden - hope you're hubby gets home in time!!!

xx

 

[MarsMaiden]

Thanks Caseybaby and Mrssunshine!

Yes, there is the Eurostar from paris but unfortunately it is fully booked. He is currently on the way to calais and hoping to book on a ferry. It looks very possible that he will be home tomorrow sometime so he should definitely make it.

Of course the only other problem is that he is meant to do his last sperm production sometime around now and he is currently on a bus with 30 people! Hopefully he will find a chance sometime today to erm, take care of things!! Again, hoping for a Thursday IUI because of this so that the little guys will have enough time to develop their superpowers

Leaving for my scan now!

 

[CaseyBaby718]

Is there a bathroom on the bus??

 

[sj22]

Marsmaiden hope your hubby gets home safe - where in UK are you? I'm in Bristol.
I know it is a nightmare getting back; I teach and the school had lots of missing children today. How was the scan? It means we will be on the dreaded 2ww together.

Caseybaby - can you imagine the reaction of suggesting he takes care of business in a bus toilet? He he, oh the things we have to do!
