Can anyone shed some light on IUI odds?

[MarsMaiden]

MrsJPC - soya isoflavones are meant to be like a natural version of clomid. They are phytoestrogens and stop the brain recognising estrogen so your body produces more which stimulates production of FSH. Apparently it encourages ovulation and gives 'stronger' ovulation. I do not ovulate regularly every cycle so just thought I would give it a go on this one to see what happens, I think it also lengthens cycles which can'y hurt for me as my lp has been very short in my recent natural cycles. It seems most people take it cycle days 3 -7 so you wouldn't be too late if you wanted to try - depends on how you feel about your cycles and your ovulation I guess... *hugs*

For everyone talking about cramps, I had cramps nearly all the way through the last cycle but this was because of the progesterone support. Are any of you on extra HCG or progesterone as this could cause your cramps? Also, if you had a hcg trigger, I would have thought it quite possible that that was still in your system...

Really hoping to see some more BFPs in here soon!

hi ladies

feeling quite negative tonight, had a few tears earlier, i've got af type pains although they feel bit different to normal. Did a test today (which was very bad of me) anyway i was sure i seen a faint line i looked a couple of times and was sure i'd seen it, but then when i looked again a bit later there was nothing there, so thinking i was just imagining it. Daren't tell hubby, he told me i wasn't allowed to test until sat!!! how can i wait that long

hope everyone else if feeling more positive

Hi ladies, I've been lurking for a bit while I sorted my head out after the last disappointing result and I think I'm just about sorted now. Mrs JPC - so sorry to hear you had no luck on this cycle. Your time will come

I've spoken to my clinic and it doesn't look likely we'll get another shot at IUI and they've recommended we look at IVF (once the lardmonster has shed some blubber!). I'm feeling quite positive about the future and just wanted to thank everyone on this thread for all the kind words and support - you just can't get that sort of support anywhere else!! I'll keep lurking to see what happens to you all. xxx

Good luck to you hon, I have heard such great things about IVF, you go to like a 60% success rate for most woman, which is awesome. Thats our next step if IUIs dont work

Lola- good for you, glad you are feeling positive about this cycle. I hope I get some signs soon

 

[lola13]

MrsSunshine - any updates? Hoping you're still in the game.

 

[mrssunshine78]

did another test yesterday it was bfn
no af yet, but have af pains and bit of backache, so no doubt she's on her way - so not out completely, but not testing now unless she's late

how's everyone else?

xx

 

[MarsMaiden]

mrssunshine - yesterday would still only have been 11dpo so that is still pretty early. Keeping my fingers crossed that maybe you had a late implanter - hope AF stays away for you *hugs*

Hope the tww is treating everyone else well, you're nearly a week down now!

 

[mrssunshine78]

she's arrive so gutted

 

[Britt11]

ahh MrsSunshine sorry to hear that hon, fx'd for next cycle

How are the girls who are on the same IUI dates with me doing? I think that is Lola and Zeezee?
Well 6dpo and actually a few different things but I DONT want to symptom spot as I have been done this road for 11 cycles- but I have a bunch of yellow cm (sorry tmi) which I have never had during the 2ww (usually dry) and I have had prego dreams where I have gotten a bfp (but thats likely b/c its on my mind)
how about you girls any symptoms?
my temp chart is boring nothing exciting on it

 

[lola13]

So sorry, Sunshine. Are you going to do IUI again next cycle?

Britt - I've heard a lot of girls report yellow CM before a BFP! Sounds good for you.

I wish I had it, too, but mostly I feel pretty normal for 6DPO. A slightly tender lower back, but I'm not reading into it (promise!).

 

[mrssunshine78]

Yeah will be doing it again in july feeling negative now though i don't think anything is gonna work for us

 

[lola13]

Sunshine - Will you do it with clomid or other stimulation, too? I can't help but think what I'll do next cycle, and wonder if IUI alone will be worth it.

no talking of next cycle yet Lola!!!! lol
if this one doesnt work for us, we will do a couple more trys and move on to IVF. We are actually booked to go in for a 3 hour IVF talk tonight...yawn

 

[mrssunshine78]

think its too late for me to get prescription for clomid, we go back and see the consultant in a couple of weeks, so am thinking i'll ask him for clomid then. We were supposed to be doing 3 natural cycles and then 3 clomid cycles, but tbh wish i'd just gone straight onto clomid cycles. He's also putting us on the IVF waiting list when we see him. I'm thinking too that maybe unstimulated cycles might be a waste of time. Hopefully you'll get a bfp and prove us wrong fingers crossed for you

good luck to all of you girls who're still in it

First, MrsSunshine I know how you are feeling right now and my heart hurts for you. I am thinking of you

Lola and Britt: how are you going pumpkins? Britt I am like you, I have a TON of CM, this morning was yellowy tinged, but otherwise is white. I was leaking the stuff when I went to the loo this morning (tim, sorry!). I also have low grade AF-type cramps. I have no idea what this means, b/c last cycle I had some cramps too, but bfn then. Anyways, I am trying not to symptom spot (and clearly failing). I also want to know when the hcg will be out of my system so I can test!!

Zeezee, did you see my post that I had a ton of yellow secretions yesterday and today as well? Its back to white now and not as much, but sure was odd, never had that before. I had a mild cramp too yesterday, but I'm wondering if I imagined it or something.
fx'd its good signs for us

 

[lola13]

I am hanging in there, too. Slightly sore bb's started yesterday, which is right on time for my typical cycle. Can't help but feel that's a bad sign, although I fully know it may not be. Nothing else out of the ordinary!

Hope everyone's well.

 

[lola13]

Hi everyone - I think some of your are waiting to ovulate, right? Anyone close to another IUI?

Zee & Britt - Still hanging in there? My bb soreness has gone away, which happened last cycle about this time. Probably not a good sign. Expecting AF on Thurs & will be pleasantly surprised if she stays away. Hope you two are seeing good signs.

Hi lola and britt, I think I am out. I tested yesterday afternoon and got a faint postive, but this morning a neg. So yesterday mst have been last of trigger shot. I cn't help but thinking that if I were preggo then it would be showing a positive by now. My symptoms ar startign to go too - BBs shrinking.

Anyways, would love to hear how everyone is going.

[Britt11]

Hey girls, I was wondering how you were doing as well?
Zeezee- not necessarily, 10dpo is still early, most test positive at 12dpo or higher...there is still hope hon
Lola- I dont have sore boobs either but I havent thought this was my cycle since about 6dpo...aggh why does this have to be so hard hey?
My boobs are actually quite big and I'm bloated but its likely earlier PMS. My chart is whacky this cycle too but I cant be bother to get up at the same time lol....
We are all still in girls, you never know to all of us


also good luck to all the girls about to get their IUI

 

[lola13]

We're definitely all still in it! 10DPO would be a pretty early BFP.

I feel very bloated & am having AF-like cramping tonight. Difficult not to read into it, but I know I shouldn't. Resisting the temptation to test tomorrow.
