Can anyone shed some light on IUI odds?

[sj22]

Marsmaiden, def ask about the spray. It was fine apart from I had to set alarms on my phone to remember to take it (8am, 12pm, 4pm, 8pm and twice before bed!) So if it is just one injection it is more convienient. When is this cycle starting? Do you come up to Bristol for it?

 

[Blue12]

I survived my first injection lol - I couldn't even feel it at all.

Marmaiden - I had a dream about 6 months ago that is still with me today. At a party someone handed me my adopted newborn baby girl - but she looked exactly like me and I held her so gently and couldn't stop looking at her and feeling in awe that she was mine, and dh and I were standing so close together just looking at her and talking about what name we would give her. And my parents were telling people to back away and give us our moment. To this day I still feel like she is mine and is out there somewhere right now - and I miss her - as crazy as that sounds.

Thank you everyone for sharing your type of injections - it is so reassuring that other people are using the same types of meds.

Got tested..Its a negative..Am very disheartened. Thinking of moving to IVF but am scared if that aslo doesnt work

 

[sj22]

Am sorry Looknomore How many IUI's have you had? IVF does have very good success rates x x

 

[Blue12]

So sorry looknomore - that is devastating.

 

[looknomore]

I have had 2 IUIs but both times with single follie. I guess that does impact the success rate. Am contemplating of moving to IVF as I cant handle the emotional aftermath after each cycle. If IVF doesnt work then its just end of the road and I move on (to adoption perhaps) Cant handle this every month

 

[sj22]

Could they up your meds to hopefully produce more follies? If you qualify for IVF on the NHS I don't think there is a long waiting list (2-3 months after inital appointment). x

 

[BabyChristie]

Looknomore - I'm so so sorry to hear this, I really was hoping and wishing that this was your month. Perhaps you could talk to your doctor about IVF and see what they advise? Although its much more invasive and highly emotional, the chances are so much higher particularly with male factor. It could be the way to make all your dreams come true.

 

[CaseyBaby718]

looknomore- So sorry. The emotional hurt from infertility can be really difficult.
You should see about upping the meds to produce more meds, though IVF does seem like a good idea. Success rates are higher. Don't give up hope yet darling! There are still options open.

 

[Blue12]

Which cycle day did all of you ladies have your iui done? I can hardly stand the wait - cd 8 today...lol

 

[CaseyBaby718]

Blue-- This is a fantastic question! I'm CD7 and have been feeling like i'm going to go crazy!!! I feel like i'm in IUI Limbo! It would be great to see what the consensus CD date is.

 

[BabyChristie]

Mine was really weird this cycle and my follie grew really quickly so my IUI was done on day 9! Before that I think it was day 12 - its always been pretty quick.

Now 10dpiui and feeling the usual pre-AF symptoms.

 

[MarsMaiden]

babychristie - thanks, yeah I guess the meds are a good idea as they completely take over the cycle so if my hormones are the problem then they get removed from the equation. I will also have progesterone pessaries which I am glad of as I have had issues with short cycles. I really hope the symptoms you are feeling are early pregnancy and not AF *hugs*

sj - My clinic is in Truro. I finish the pill on the 18th and start meds on the 24th, my follie scan is booked for the 1st June.

blue - that is such a lovely dream, I can imagine just how you feel *hugs*

looknomore - so sorry for your BFN. I can't imagine the disappointment . It sounds like it may be worth increasing the meds for you but otherwise IVF has such good success rates, it has to be worth at least a go.

My IUI should be between CD11 and CD13 according to my calender depending on how I react to the meds. Our wedding anniversary is on June 2nd so I'm really hoping that that will be our IUI day. I probably shouldn't put so much faith in 'special' dates but we will have moved into our new house by then as well so it just feels right.

 

[Blue12]

Thanks everyone for sharing which cd you had your iui. I had an ultrasound (scan) today cd9 and I have 30 follies, but only 1 above 10mm - so a long wqay to go until they are big enough. Next check up Wed.

Babychristie - I am really hoping for you - I know everyone says pg symptoms and af symptoms are so similiar - as upset as you may be feeling right now - I am hoping for you.

 

[sj22]

Marsmaiden am keeping everything crossed for you, I also had the joy of the pessaries!

Blue12 hope all goes well next Wed.

Babychristie, don't give up yet. Like Blue12 says symptoms are similar
xx

hey all,
im really confused, my trigger shot was 10 days ago and im still testing bfp! today 9diui was as faint as yesterday's and the day before!
could id be the real bfp?

 

[BabyChristie]

I'm not sure as I never ever test at any stage but my FS has always told me not to test before 14 days after the trigger just in case its a false result. BUT if things are getting darker instead of lighter, you never know. Really hope its a real BFP!!!!! Any symptoms or anything/??

 

[chris'girl]

hi ladies, I have a question, today I made an appointment with the dr to start IUI treatments, my FS said we would be perfect candidates for IUI, DH SA came back normal and my HSG came back normal as well. When i made the appointment the lady on the phone told me the dr will not follow through with IUI if i have any ovarian cyst. Is this correct?? I do get ovarian cyst, I actually had a cyst rupture about 3 years ago, so now i am concerned she will not help us if i have any cyst, even if they are small. Has anyone had issues with this?? Or any info regarding cyst with IUI? After 8 years and 2 misscarriages i thought this would be it. Any info will help. Thanks
