Can anyone shed some light on IUI odds?

[Gille01]

Got the call and I am officially
I go back for another blood test on Thursday.
I'm still really nervous. Thursday still seems so far away.

Was this your first IUI cycle?

 

[Gille01]

Thanks, wallie and britt! It was my first IUI, britt.

Congrats Gille - that is fab news!!

Mars - like you I am cramping, have sore boobs and also feel rough! I think she is on her way. I can't bare this I am not supposed to test for another week! I just want to hide away until it is all over!

Congrats Gille! Did you have symptoms? What was the timing of your IUI?

I'm still waiting to ovulate and guessing IUI will happen this Friday. My doctor hasn't told me to go with a full bladder, but is that the general consensus? I'm a little worried about having an accident on the table!

 

[MarsMaiden]

Gille - CONGRATULATIONS!!!! That is such fantastic news, you must be over the moon!

Lola - It certainly worked for me but that may just be coincidence although I have seen it mentioned elsewhere as helping. It was certainly a fine balancing act between being full and not too full! haha!

Troysmam - everything crossed for you hon. Really hope this cycle is the one for you.

I caved this morning after feeling really tetchy and a bit nauseous and tested on an IC but BFN. I'm 11dpiui so I guess it's still early days but the cramping I am feeling today is much more AF like so I am losing hope for this cycle. At least I know for definite that the symptoms I am feeling are not pregnancy symtpoms and so really need to be ignored. Also, it's crazy but my favourite band has announced a tour for November and I am getting so stressed trying to decide whether or not to buy tickets as I don't know if I'll be preggers by then or not! I certainly don't have the cash to burn but if I wasn't pregnant by then it will be a well needed stress relief! And the fact that I am finding this entirely superflous matter so stressful is an indication of how bad I am at handling the tww I think! Gah!

 

[MrsJPC]

Mars - you are not suppose to be testing until Saturday so you may be far too early! So my advice ignore the result for now.

Like you I feel like AF is on her way. Although when the cramps stop I begin to feel really sick. So who knows what my body is up to.

I have a hen do on Saturday, I can get away with out drinking but the thought of her arriving on Sat and me crying in the loos keeps coming to mind!

I say book the tickets! I always think it is best to put things in the diary to look forward to!

MrsJPC - I know, I was a fool! I guess you get caught up seeing so many 10dpo BFPs that the temptation gets too much! I'm feeling very crampy today, I just wish our bodies would give us a clue, just a tiny one! Are you on progesterone? That should delay AF so even if we are not pg, it should delay AF until after the weekend so hopefully you will be clear of any upset at your hen do *hugs*

Haha, I am tempted to book the tickets if only to provoke Sod's Law! At least it's a win win situation! I have also decided to ask dh to go away for a couple of days this weekend just to take some of the strain off (I hope I don't find all the tww's this stressful or it could get very expensive!)

IUI = BFN ladies.... i expected it to be honest!

Good luck to everyone else

 

[MrsJPC]

Mars - I have had two shots of Pregnyl. My last was on Saturday. I swear it has caused the sore boobs. I cannot test until 10 days after my last injection because it contains the hormone that preg tests, test for. So I cannot test early even if I wanted to.

Feeling a bit rubbish today. My brother's baby is due in three weeks and all I want is to be pregnant when it happens. There are only so many brave faces I can put on at the moment!

Sorry Sammy - take care honey!

Well AF reared her very ugly head this morning with bells on! I'm totally gutted, that was our 3rd and final NHS funded IUI. I now have to go back to the hospital to see FS/Gyno Doc to investigate the "shadow" that was picked up on my last scan. I didn't have it before all the treatment began so I'm wondering if it's something as a result of all the fertility drugs?? I've got to wait til 1 July for a free appt (trust me I'll be in a special home by then!!!).

They told us I'm too overweight for IVF at the moment but I don't have very long to remedy that as I'm 39 in Sept and you have to be in your 39th year when having the treatment - I'm already going to weightwatchers but I've a really long way to go before meeting the criteria of BMI 30. I can't stop crying I keep thinking I've "pulled myself together" then I'll just start again. I honestly thought that this one might work. I think that's it for us TTC, after 4.5 years maybe I have to just accept that it's not meant to be and try and move on. It's putting such a strain on me and DH and financially we can't afford to be doing anything privately. Sorry for the long post and putting a downer on the thread.

Keep up with the PMA girls you're all still in with a chance.

Good luck to everyone else with your BFP's and thanks for your support over the last few weeks.

You are in my thoughts honey. No rash decisions, you just look after you for the next couple of days.

Don't disappear - you have friends here who care a great deal!

Take care x x x

Thanks! Now that I look at it, I did have more symptoms than I thought. I had AF-like cramping monday night to where I couldn't stand for a little while, slight cramps tuesday, pressure wednesday but I tested negative for the trigger shot. Thurs I felt pressure again and like I was back on my trigger shot (exhausted when I woke up) or had stomach flu (nauseated) so I tested again that day and got faints. Friday was like Thurs. Saturday - now still exhausted but mostly ok.

I had a trigger shot at night on the 1st then double IUIs on the 2nd and 3rd in the mornings.

Is this your first IUI? I wasn't told anything about a full bladder. I actually went ahead of time to avoid any kind of issues and yeah accidents on the table! Good luck! Just a tip- bring a liner with you. I had a lot of CM and a little spotting right after!

Congrats Gille - that is fab news!!

Thanks! I'm more nervous than anything right now! Still waiting for Thursday so maybe I'll calm down then.

I don't think you're out just yet. I'm still praying AF stays away!

I'm so sorry to hear that!

Hi y'all - this seems like the most active of the IUI threads, so I hope you don't mind if I join! This is my first cylce of clomid/IUI - I am on CD11 and had a scan this morning. I have 3 follicles - one on the left (15mm), and two on the right (13mm and 18mm). Apparently they grow at a rate of 2mm per day and they said that although 15mm is fine, its early so they would prefer to wait and see how they grow and scan again on Thursday.

Is this good? I mean, is 3 follicles too few? Are they going to all pop out?!

 

[lola13]

Troysmam - sending you a virtual hug. The disappointment can be heartbreaking, especially when AF first shows up. I've struggled with the same crossroads you described. Wishing you comfort & wisdom.

Zeezee - Sorry I can't give you input on the follicle size. My doctor isn't doing a scan. I think it's normal for multiple follicles to develop & then the most mature one is released - of course it's possible that multiple ones will be released, but less likely all 3 will pop. There's still a chance though!
