Can anyone shed some light on IUI odds?

[mrssunshine78]

@marsmaiden & mrssunshine THANK YOU!!!

@brit: the clinic says to lie down for 15-20 minutes after the procedure, don't do any exercise that gets your heart rate into the cardio zone, and generally take it easy. My friend who is a nurse told me to lie with my legs up when I get home to encourage blood flow to the uterus (so nothing to do with keeping the swimmers in or anything, just increased blood flow, b/c increased blood flow = healthier environment). I am also having acupuncture on Saturday.

Thinking of you both tomorrow. xx

oh this is a fun little sisterhood

Britt - DH's SA was normal, so hopefully it won't be an issue that he'll only have a 36 hour build-up. What time is yours scheduled?

Good luck, zee-zee!

Marsmaiden - good luck for the testing hun!

 

[MrsJPC]

Hope it went well for all you IUI's today!

Mars - I'll be thinking of you Sunday! I am now convinced the witch is coming, in honesty I wish she would just come now so I can have a good cry and glass of wine and move on. The is she isn't she is killing me. Not helped that I have come down with a horible cold and chest infection. Of course I am not taking anything, just in case.

Oh the joy!!

IUI done! DH had 41 million moving sperm, so it's pretty much up to my stubborn body at this point. I think I'll try to get him to BD one more time for good measure. The procedure was easy & painless.

Zee & Britt - all good with yours?

OK, those of you further along...let's get some BFP's to break up the TWW monotony!

hey, good for you, thats great.
Last time my DH had 45 million sperm, this time only 17 mill unfortunately but they said anything over 2 million is okay.
Nurse Hatchett was on holidays so I had a different nurse that did it, and it went MUCH smoother!!! 30 seconds as opposed to 20minutes of pain. I am very very crampy now though and tons of gas (lol) which I dont remember having last time.
I didnt have to put in a deposit for tomorrow so I am going to see how my temp is and then decided if I will go in again...
how did yours go Zee?

 

[zeezee]

Hi britt and lola!! I am so glad to hear yours went well!! I am going to follow you both closely during this tww!

Mine went well I think - hubster had 31 million swimmers unwashed. They look for 1 million washed, and 5 million is considered excellent, and he had 8.5million at 80% motility (whatever that means), so I think that is really positive. The actual IUI was painless - I felt it, and it felt a little pressured but not painful. Am v bloated now though. We also did the BD tonight (at exactly 36 hours post hcg shot), and will go one more round at 7am.

I am nervous and excited and now just trying to rest up. SOOO super glad I have you guys going through same thing at the same time.

Britt - I'm glad the nurse was on her game this time. Let us know if you get the second one today.

We managed to BD again last night, so we've done all we can for this cycle. I was so bloated yesterday, which I thought was the clomid. After reading your posts, I think maybe it was the IUI. I can already tell this is going to be a long tww.

 

[Britt11]

thanks Lola, yeah it was so painful with the gas and cramps yesterday....agghh, not looking forward to doing it again
My temp sky-rocketed this morning so pretty sure I already O'd but DH and i still decided to go in again today...just in case.
Good things come in 3, I hope all of us get our BFPs this round

 

[mrssunshine78]

glad all you IUI's went well

hope you manage to keep busy during the 2ww

xx

 

[lola13]

Mrssunshine - you're halfway there. Any vibes telling you how this cycle's going for you?

 

[MarsMaiden]

Sammy - thanks for the thoughts hon, sadly I am out for this cycle. AF showed up this morning despite the progesterone so I didn't get as far as testing tomorrow!

MrsJPC - how you doing hon? Did you make it your night out with your cold? Hoping that you have better luck *hugs*

Glad to hear that everyone's IUIs went well yesterday. Best of luck to you all! I'll be joining again in August I think as I have to have a month off between cycles....

 

[zeezee]

Ok, I am quietly freaking out here. So I have been reading when you ovulate after a hcg trigger shot and from what I read its anywhere between 12 and 48 hours. And since the washed spermies only live for 6-12 hours, and my IUI was at 29 hours, if I don't ovulate until hour 48, then I lose out right? AGHHHHHHH. And I don't want to BD AGAIN LOL! I guess I need to go one more round today. Sigh. I wish I was doing a second IUI like you Brit.

 

[lola13]

Mars - Sorry this cycle is a bust for you. Maybe it will happen naturally during your month off...you never know.

Zee - My doctor said the washed sperm live longer than 6-12, although I've also read that online. You don't know who to believe. BDing one more time is probably a good idea. The egg should stick around for up to 24 hours, so even if you ovulated late, it should still be viable. Doesn't it seem like getting the timing right is like threading a needle? There's little margin for error, or at least it feels that way.

ha ha, lol, I know what you mean!!! yes, second IUI wasnt as bad today, new nurse again with like 15 years experience with IUIs, so she was very gentle. If you look at my chart, it appears its too late by today, but I dont care I think it was still a good idea to do 2 in a row.
I read that as well, that the washed sperm dont live as long but my FS doc said no, its still up to 3 days
DH and I are suppose dtd tonight, so we will see what happens

 

[mrssunshine78]

so sorry mars its such a tough journey - i hope you're ok


No signs or symptoms for me, i'm really tired, but that might just be off working shifts, so am not getting my hopes up.

bit worried now about the little sperm, my consultant says they can live for about 2 days so my timimg of iui should have been ok, but if its only 6-12 hrs then timimgs prob wrong why can't it be easy we weren't offered 2 days in a row, wish we had been, never mind just have to keep fingers crossed

good luck

xx

 

[MrsJPC]

Sorry Mars - I was only thinking of you yesterday! Night out was good and cold meant I could get away without drinking! If I am out this month I will def be going again in August - so we will have each other.

Miss Sunshine, I fretted about the timing, but I just think put your trust in those Drs they know best (I hope)

The witch still isn't here although I am now on day 3 of AF cramps and positive she is gonna get me any hour.

Good luck to all those at the begining of the 2ww - I wish I could tell you it goes quick...
