Can anyone shed some light on IUI odds?

[MrsJPC]

MarsMaiden - Glad it all went well

Before the IUI my consultant extracted one of my spare folicles. Now that did hurt. My hubby was with me and apparently I squeezed his hand hard at that point. He did warn me I may bleed and cramp. Yesterday I bled and today I am still cramping a little.

The IUI itself wasn't too bad.

After the procedure the nurse popped in to see me and said oh the follicle we extracted had no egg. My husband thinks this is good because it wasn't wasted, i on the other hand am now fretting that all my follicles are eggless!!

Have felt fine since, bit knackered but that could be normal. The only other thing my boobs really hurt, think that could have been the trigger shot.

Hi,

I am going to test on 12th June to make sure the trigger has left my system (will be 10 days after the shot of 5000mg) and then I will test on Monday 14th June (10dpo) if nothing shows then I will wait for AF and if that doesnt show then i'll take a digi!!!

 

[MarsMaiden]

troysmam - oh that does sound painful! Don't worry I'm sure your other follies did have eggs!! My boobs are really sore too but am also putting that down to the trigger shot, also slept away most of the weekend which i guess could be a side effect of the shot also....

MrsJPC - I've been told to test on 20th June (father's day!!) so I may try and wait til then although I can see me testing on the wednesday or thursday of that week because I know the limits of my patience!! Counting down the days...

Sammy - good luck!!

Babydust to everyone!!

Hey! I'm testing on the 17th. If it was up to me I'd actually wait longer to be completely sure but its a beta so I'm on the 17th. I'm nervous!

Not much longer to go!

 

[Troysmam]

I'm testing 14th June (if I can wait that long!) that will be two weeks after the iui, just been for my second hypnotherpy session - lets see if that can keep me calm, destressed and serene (I'm pretty sure no-one who knows me would EVER describe me as any of those words) if that doesn't work I'm booked in for acupuncture on Wednesday...I tell you there's nothing i won't try in the quest for a little 'un!

How's everyone feeling? Sammy2009 I just realised we're testing the same day, it's totally weird but great that we're all testing so close together. It's nice to know that all the feelings of "was that a twinge/are my boobs sore today/are they veiny yet?" etc are shared by all of us at practically the same time!!! I am going slowly mad with it all but I'm sure I'm in good company..!

Fingers crossed and Babydust to all!!

Troysmam - I have been getting accupunture. I find it very relaxing, I actually had a session on Friday after my IUI.

I had this thought this morning. What if it worked for all of us? I mean stranger things have happened. What if one after another we all got BFP's!!!

Yes positive thought is the way forward...

14 days and counting................

 

[mrssunshine78]

well it looks like i'll be having 1st iui on friday, had 1st high on cbfm this morn, so will prob get peak on thurs. i am so nervous already!!

good luck to everyone hope you all get your bfps

[Troysmam]

Mrs JPC - I've been having acupuncture for a few months now and have to say it's helped to make my af less painful also it's nice just to have an hour to call your own (no phone ringing etc) fingers crossed it works for us this cycle!!!!

Mrs Sunshine - Good luck for Friday.

Remember girls PMA - we will get those BFP's!!!!

 

[Gille01]

mrssunshine78, good luck!!
MrsJPC, I like the way you think. I agree, positive attitudes!
Troysmam, yes with the PMA! Excited about the BFPs coming!

 

[MarsMaiden]

Troysmam - Deffo with you on the going crazy! I keep having to talk myself down, there's still such a long wait ahead...

MrsJPC - PMA is fantastic and its a lovely thought that we will al get lucky this cycle! *fingers crossed*

mrssunshine - good luck for Friday!

My boobs seem to be less sore now so guess the trigger is wearing off. have been having lots of twinges, not really painful but just making me very aware that it's there! Am also soooooo tired!! I think it might be cos of the extra progesterone I am on but goodness me, it gets hard to think by the end of the day!

 

[mrssunshine78]

HELP!!!!!!

just phoned the clinic cos think i'll be getting peak on cbfm tomorrow and they said i'd be going in for IUI tomorrow if thats the case - now i have a dilemma we're due to bd tonight, but now i don't know whether we should??? we dtd on monday, so will this be too long for the sperm?? The last nurse i spoke to i'm sure she said that they only did IUI mon, wed and fri, so that's why we'd been dtd those days.

please help me!

what are your experiences do your clinics do IUI every day?

thanks

[MrsJPC]

Mrs Sunshine, I was the same as you, was seen earlier than I thought. I avoided bedding through fear there wouldn't be enough swimmers. Consultant said there was plenty. I say go for it tonight! Up your chances. I think the reason they say abstain is if there is an issue with count.

My clinic is open everyday, even Sunday if needed!

I do find sometimes you are given one piece of information only to have it contradicted on your next visit. All adds to the joys of this process!

Marsmaiden - Still have painful boobs, and have started to get mild cramping, but I may be focusing in a bit too much on it and it could be nothing.

Also have any of you been given hormones to take following IUI? I have had to take an injection at 3 and 8 days past IUI. I think these could be causing the boob issue and cramping.

Must stay positive!

13 days and counting.......

[mrssunshine78]

I'm not having any meds at all the 1st 3 cycles

good luck to you

I did try a hpt just to see what a bfp looked like after my trigger shot and I tested every day until it turned negative just to know it was out of my system. It only took 4 days for me - but it is different for everyone.

I tested last night at 4dpo that the trigger shot was out and the test was blank as blank can be. Its out of my system thank god (it was last time by 4dpo)

 

[Sammy2009]

Thanks, MarsMaiden. I'm hoping it went well too. Glad to hear your IUI was pretty easy. I have never liked anything being done down there either. Too painful. I had a lot of cramping with both of mine though the second was worse. Not unbearable or anything like that but just had more than the first. She warned me ahead of time letting me know it could be because I was further into ovulation then with the first IUI. Maybe the same for you?

As for me, I'm officially ready to pee on sticks. Of course my testing date is not until the 17th but I'm ready to know now. Besides that, I'm ready to get to the real pregnancy symptoms. I think the trigger has made me useless. I'm incredibly exhausted, yesterday I was so nauseated with cramps and a bad taste in my mouth. This is really giving me a go right now trying to work 10 hours. If it was real at least I'd know something was going on in there but its the trigger playing with my emotions!

Did anyone else feel like that afterwards? I've asked elsewhere and not many people get symptoms from this shot. I took my trigger Tuesday night but didn't feel anything till yesterday. Is that odd?

Anyways, good luck ladies in the 2ww and those currently waiting to cycle!

I always get symptoms from the trigger... normally 2 days afterwards. I start off with AF like cramps which turns to twinges and pulling pains (albeit small ones) then I get really exhausted and tired around the 3rd to 4th day and normally sore boobs (although this time I havent) and really bloated... all the signs of pregnancy but with one successful IVF, one failed FET and an IUI looming for results I know better than to read too much into these symptoms!

 

[Sammy2009]

By the way I hope you are all well...

Anyone testing?

I have no laptop at home at the moment cos its broken so its hard to keep up but we plan to have a new one soon.

Wishing you all the best of luck!!!

Thanks! I was beginning to think something was wrong with me. I always react to meds in the oddest way!

I'm having twinges right now but I'm thinking it might be the progesterone. I tested to see if the trigger was gone today. I have a very faint line so I guess its making its way out slowly but surely.
I may test again tomorrow but after that no more! Beta on the 17th. I don't think I want to know ahead of time.

Hello ladies,
I hope you dont mind me stopping by your thread.
Its been great reading your updates and the successes here.
We had our first IUI last month (DH has morphology issues) with 50mg of Clomid and BFN. This month they increased the Clomid dose to 100mg (I do ovulate on my own without issues) and then we will try it again. I think last time I may have come in a day too early, I am going to go in the day after my very positive opk this month (I think it will give us a better chance).
They dont do follicle tracking at our FS clinic, if you get positive opks

good luck to all of you
