Can anyone shed some light on IUI odds?

[Joli]

Hey NYBison - I was really bad and tested 10dpiui - I didn't realise at the time that it could have been a false positive - if you can hold out until the 27th, then you'll get a more definitive answer than I did! You won't jinx yourself - what time is your apponitment on the 27th? I think it's better to test with your morning wee rather than the afternoon (although, on the day I found out, I did about 5 tests throughout the day, and they all came back with very very very faint lines!).

Our wedding pic was taken in a park in HK, although the umbrella was from the Peninsula Hotel (where we celebrated our wedding in the evening, and we had a church ceremony in the morning). I see that you're in NY - my mom was in NY for the whole of last year being treated for cancer at Sloane Kettering, so I was in NY about 4 times last year! Awesome city...

Hi Everyone,

Going in for my 2nd IUI (fingers crossed) in 2 days. Went today for day 11 scan. 2 follies one on each ovary measuring 19.2 mm & 18.6 mm. In my last IUI which was cancelled because the follicle did not rupture I had been given HCG as trigger. This time i m taking an injection called Lupride (given subcutaneously) and another one (the name for which i cant decipher cos the doc's handwriting is so bad) in 5 hours.

Has anyone taken anything besides HCG for triggering ovulation. Am pertrified the eggies wont come out.

Hey lookomore - I only had hcg... maybe your follied weren't big enough last time round, or the hcg wasn't given at the right time for you - just keep thinking positively hon - I'm sure it will happen for you this time round!!

 

[looknomore]

Hi Joli- I had got the HCG trigger when the follie (there was only one last cycle) was 19 mm. And it kept growing even after the HCG..Last monitoring it had gone upto 32 mm. Thats when the cycle was cancelled

Hi I havent been on in a while but my IUI is scheduled to happen in May, thats if I dont get a BFP this weekend FxD!!!! Check out my chart and keep me in your prayers please!!

Joli, I see you are in HK. My friend is from there and moved back there last year to work. She is cantonese and the language barrier was making it hard for her to find a job, even though she speaks english. I cant wait to visit!

hello ladies..Just got 2 injections of Ovidrel. They hurt this time and I have a high threshold for pain esp needles. It bled also at the point where the injections were given on the front thigh. Wondering if thats normal. I am praying for all of us for a BFP this cycle. Have to go for a monitoring tomm and on Sunday morning. Right now I am just praying the eggies come out.

 

[Joli]

Hey looknomore... strange you say "Ovidrel"... I just might have had that as well - did you have a powder bottle and a liquid bottle, and then you mixed them both into one bottle and then did the shot? I injected mine into my belly (under my belly button). Whilst taking injectibles, sometimes they bled, and sometimes they didn't, I wouldn't sorry about it! Fx'd for your eggies!!!

 

[sj22]

looknomore, I think that is the injection I have just taken. This time I did have some bleeding after the injections but I think that was because I was injection near a bruise. Hope everything goes well x

 

[looknomore]

Hi sj22..U say ur IUI is scheduled on tuesday..but then how come u have already taken this injection Ovidrel..cos this makes you ovulate within 36 hours..Its a trigger..Are u sure u have taken Ovidrel??

 

[sj22]

Hi looknomore, yep I took the injection monday morning and had the IUI at 6pm on Tuesday x

Finally feeling a bit better now! Had a week of complete loss of PMA and feeling like a failure as a woman! Am back to feeling positive, onwards and upwards! I am on BCP at the moment and my next scan is already booked for 1st June, they are doubling my dose of the FSH for the next one so crossing everything that it works this time.

Hubby got home safe and sound on Tuesday mornng. He was disappointed that we weren't going through with the cycle but very supportive.

Nybison and sj - have everything crossed for you, you haven't got long to wait now!

 

[sj22]

Hey MarsMaiden, very glad you are feeling a bit better and that hubby made it home. I hope it all goes well next time, doubling the dose should def have some impact! Is your clinic supportive?

SJ x

 

[looknomore]

oh ok..SJ22..though ur IUI wa going to take place on tuesday..Went for the can today and the follies have stopped growing now. Doc sys ovulation should happen by tomm morning . Keeping my fingers crossed

 

[sj22]

That's good news looknomore. How many follies have you got ready?

 

[nybison1978]

Hey guys, prayers to everyone.

 

[looknomore]

Done with the IUI Follie on the right side had released and left was getting uneven so the doc sys it looks like it is collapsing and shud release anytime. Now the 2 WW. Am on progesterone injections this cycle as the tablets were giving me too many side effects.

Are there any precautions one shud take after IUI?? Was wondering if I can swim or exercise and if having an intercourse is ok in the 2 WW

Buckets full of baby dust

[Joli]

Hey looknomore! - congrats on getting into the 2ww!! I was told not to swim or exercise too heavily during the 2ww, but intercourse was ok - especially on the same day as IUI! I think the key is just staying chilled out, and imagine your little beanie making its way down the tube and snuggling into your uterus (yup, my doc told me to visualise all this!).

hi ladies, looks like I'll be joining you soon as OH and I just met with the FS this morning and he has suggested IUI while we wait for IVF. OH has antibodies in his sperm and they don't move too well, so hopefully after the washing process they will be alot better.

FS said that as I ovulate we'll probably just do a natural cycle. Anyone else tried that and been successful? I've been quoted at our clinic success rate is 18%. What have you other ladies been told?

Anyway I won't be doing IUI for at least a couple of cycles as after this one we're off on holidays, so maybe when we're back in early June. Here's hoping anyway.

Good luck to all those in the 2ww and also for all those trying.

FX'd
