Can anyone shed some light on IUI odds?

[CaseyBaby718]

he he! Ya, I know. I could only imagine. I know my DH is so modest he'd laugh and hang up on me suggesting such a thing!

 

[MarsMaiden]

LOL at the toilet bus! I'm not sure what he had in mind but I am lucky that he is so committed to this TTC journey that we are on!

The good news is that he is nearly home! He has made it over on the ferry and is on his way to the station to get the sleeper train home and will be here by the morning. (we're in Cornwall sj22 - never the easiest place to get to at the best of times!)

The bad news is that the scan showed I hadn't responded very well to the FSH meds. My follicles were only at 6mm and my womb lining was very thin. So they are abandoning this cycle. They are putting me back on the BCP and I will start a higher dose of meds at the end of May.

To top it all off I got to work and got told off by my boss because I hadn't filled in my electronic calender to say I'd be out. Cue me going into complete meltdown! Decided to take the rest of the day off and came home and attacked cleaning of the house!

I am now eating an industrial sized bar of chocolate. What a week!

 

[CaseyBaby718]

Oh Mars.... so sorry to hear about your follicles...

Lets hope that next cycle is more hopeful! Your DH is will be ready to go by then eh?

 

[sj22]

Marsmaiden that's rubbish but atleast hubby will be back soon.

Are you having your treatment in Cornwall?

Hey guys. I am now 6dpIUI and I still feel no side effects or symptoms.

Joli, did you have any symptoms?

Prayers to everyone!!!!!

 

[CaseyBaby718]

Nybison! GOOD LUCK!!!!!

Just remember, everyone is different. There are plenty of women who have had no symptoms until the BFP

 

[sj22]

Nybison: although I miscarried I did get a BFP and had no symptoms. x

 

[Joli]

MrsMaiden - I'm sorry that they're abandoning this cycle for you... my follies were really unresponsive as well (too me 23 days to O), but my uterine lining was ok I believe. Maybe they need to try you on a different kind of FHS medication, there's so many out there, so maybe it's just a case of finding out which one works for you. I'm glad DH will be able to make it home though - what a nightmare!

NYBison - I didn't feel any particular symptoms at 6dpo, but at 7dpo, I felt what I thought was gas cramps, and they came and went...but 8dpo, I felt nothing again. At 9dpo, I thought I would test, just in case the gas cramps was actually implantation (oh, and nipples started to get sore at 9dpo), and I got a faint faint line... I wouldn't test that early though, I didn't realise that you could still get a false positve from the trigger shot, so I worried for a couple of days whether it was a real BFP or not. I think most people say you can test 14 days post-trigger shot to be 100% sure there is no false positive. Don't worry about not having any symptoms, tons of girls don't feel a thing!! As long as you don't feel AF coming along, that's a good thing! Did you get any symptoms from the trigger shot?

 

[nybison1978]

Joli,

Thanks, no symptoms from the trigger shot. However, how weird this may sound, I am craving salt, all I want is extra salt on everything and im not a salt person. I am a suger person, love carbs. My husband surprised me and bought home ice cream last night, he was too cute. I didnt want it because he didnt bring chips for me to dip in the ice cream. what a freak I am.

This salt thing started on Monday but im just realizing it now.

Other than that I dont have any symptoms.

 

[sj22]

Well I had the IUI yesterday and am now taking the vile pessaries!

Marsmaiden is hubby home now? How are you feeling?

[CaseyBaby718]

Good Luck sj!!

I can't wait to join you ladies in the 2ww. Though, I still am waiting for my AF to start, still on Provera. Day 4 today of that.

Just wishing to get the show on the road!!

 

[sj22]

How many days are you on provera?

 

[CaseyBaby718]

7 days of Provera, and then the waiting game of when AF will come.

 

[sj22]

Same as me... first time round it took 7 days for AF to show up, this time it took 5. Then you can look forward to all the scans...

 

[nybison1978]

SJ- Good Luck

Casey- It took me 5 days to get af after the BCP

 

[Joli]

NYBison - cravings are a good sign! Your body clearly wants something different. Very interesting that you didn't have any side effects from the trigger - I had such sore BB's afterwards! But then again, that might have been from the injectibles that I was on. Do you have a target date on when you will test?

SJ - that's awesome that you just had your IUI! Fx'd for some baby dust magic to happen inside!! Did everything go well during your IUI?

Casey - it took me 5 days to get AF after provera - it won't be long now!!!

 

[nybison1978]

Joli, no noticeable side effects from the trigger. By boobs are a little sore but nothing major to note down.I was also on injectibles. Was this your first iui?

 

[Joli]

Hey NYBison - it was indeed my first IUI! Do you know what day you're going to test?

 

[nybison1978]

Joli, April 27, I have a follow up appt. I'll prob test in the morning before I go. I will be 13dpiui, today I'm 8dpiui. When did you start to test? I don't have the urge yet. Hopefully it stays like that. Maybe I should wait to hear back from the dr and not jinx myself.haha

Joli, great wedding pic? Where was it taken? I went to HK two years ago for work.
