Can anyone shed some light on IUI odds?

[Britt11]

Hi Britt - I * think * my chart link now works (I wish I could get a cute ticker to work!!). My temp is steady I think, no drop. I have a 26-28 day cycle, so AF could still arrive tomorrow and I kind of feel like she is coming except for the big boobs with some veins. I have not tested in 2 days and won't test until Sunday (DH's stupid idea, but I agreed and he's holding me to it!!).

Did you test this morning?

hmmm looking good on the chart, what was the spotting like 2 days ago? I had a tiny bit at 11dpo too...
My boobs are also very big but I also feel out as well.
I did test today but I screwed the test up and only peed on it for about 1 sec (lol...dont ask it was early)
still think something would show up by now if I was, going to test tomorrow again if she hasnt shown...will be interesting to see what my temp does tomorrrow
good luck hon!!
as for the ticker on FF, design the one you want for your chart and then just copy and paste the Forum code at the end to your siggy, that should work

spotting was very very very light, but was * cough * red blood, not the browny stuff AF seems to bring. I never spot so I figured maybe the clomid?

I have only been charting for a month but yours looks really promising. Maybe we both implanted late and the hcg is slow to climb? I am working on positive thinking, so I will run with this until the witch (or IF in positive land) arrives I can just ignore the pre-AF cramps for now...

I am totally following this thread to see how you go in the morning!!

Thanks girls, Lola good to see you- how is it to be pregs??? so happy to see you

Yeah this is a strange one, boobs are huge and no AF yet oh and tried a test this afternoon just in case and still bfn unfortunately
I guess tomorrow will be the true test, we'll see what my temp is tomorrow morning and hence test if need be....gosh wouldnt it be nice Zeezee if we just did implant late... I have everything crossed for you too

looking forward to the updates in the morning

 

[lola13]

OK you two, 15DPO today. The only time I've ever seen 15DPO and no AF was my current cycle! Hoping your little beans are just procrastinators. Update when you can.

 

[zeezee]

AF arrived this morning, right on time. I just don't know how I will ever get preggo if I can't get preggo under these conditions (IUI, DH's perfect swimmers, 2 eggies).

Meh.

oh hon I know exactly how you feel, I told DH this morning I want to push IVF as soon as possible as we are wasting time. His swimmers are not good and our combo together just doesnt seem to be working- and I dont want to wait too long.
So I had a temp dip this morning so AF should arrive anytime now- I have cramps and all- so cruel to be this late, gets your hopes up for nothing you know what I mean?

 

[lola13]

Zee & Britt - Sorry about AF & temp dip. You guys know the drill, a day or two to sulk (justifiably so), and then back up on the horse, right?

What are your plans for next month?

 

[mrssunshine78]

so sorry your af's arrived ladies - i hope you are both feeling ok

looks like 2nd iui will be thursday or friday this wk, had my 1st high on cbfm today.

Hi Ladies, Come across this thread at dinner, I have not been able to read all the way through but what I have read has made me think. Does anyone know if you can have a go at IUI on the NHS and if this doesn't work are you able to have IVF on the NHS?? Or if I was to pay for IUI will I still be able to have IVF on the NHS? Hope someone can help me.

Thanks xx

Hi ladies, I'm waiting for AF to appear and then I start my IUI next cycle. I wish AF would hurry up for once.

We're on the IVF list but the waiting list is 18 months long, so we've 15 months still to wait. We are getting to try IUI while we wait though and I just really, really hope it works. I can't wait to finally have a baby, it's been such a hard slog.

My OH has antibodies in his sperm, so probably IVF would be best but FX'd IUI works.

FS said we get three goes at IUI but we have to pay £170 for each try. I was told by FS that as I ovulate we should just do natural cycles but the paperwork came through the other day and it looks as if we'll be doing a medicated cycle and only TWO of them! Not sure why that is, I'll find out.

Yomo, hope this little bit of info from me answers some of your questions.

HTH

Hi yomo

it depends where in the uk that you are from what treatment you are given for free, and also on your circumstances - like if you already have children, etc

we are quite lucky as we can have 6 IUI, and then 3 ivf. I am currently waiting for my 2nd iui, we're getting put on ivf waiting list next week, our consultant said its about a 6 month waiting list, which maybe sounds a bit too good to be true?

 

[sj22]

Hi Yomo, you can have IUI on the NHS for 3 cycles where I am and then 1 free cycle of IVF on the NHS. Alternatively if this seems a long wait, we paid for IUI but at the same time put ourselves on the NHS waiting list for IVF so that if IUI didn't work we were already cutting down the waiting time. This is perfectly acceptable.

I have no children so we are allowed 1 free go at ivf, my Fs made me think that out only option if clomid don't work is ivf. But after Reading all the posts I have a good feeling about iui something is just telling me to do it, I have spoke to Nottingham care
and to o private it's £670.00 but it would be a bonus if we can get it on the nhs but just don't want to have that free instead of the ivf as obviously ivf is more sucessful. All our tests have come back fine, after 4 years I find it difficult to believe that every month we have missed the egg! I have a feeling it may have something to do with my cm.

Thanks for your replies girls and congrats on your bfp! Just hope that one day I see those 2 lines xxx

Hi Ladies, Hope you are all well today!

I have called the hospital today, she is pulling my notes out and speaking to my FS and then getting back to me

She told me that we get 3 free IUI and 1 IVF so thats good news, just a little worried that my FS didn't mention this option to me. I pleaded with her to try and talk him into referring us as they don't do IUI at our hospital.

We shall see what she comes back with, I am not due to see my FS until another 3 months as in March he gave me 6 months of Clomid, but he did suggest skipping the clomid and going straight on the IVF list as we have been trying so long. x

 

[Chris77]

Great news on the free IUI's and IVF! DH and I get nothing free so we're paying for the IUI out of our own pocket. My IUI is this Friday!!

 

[MrsJPC]

Lola - that is fab news I am so pleased for you! Do stay in touch and let us know how you are doing!

Sorry Zee Zee I share your pain honey!

Yomo - I get two free IUI's and two free IVF's.

Just found out that the clinic are full in August and so due to me being away I am not going in until October. I am really gutted. I am not sure whether to just go for IVF as the first IUI didn't work?

Also, and I need some help here. Hubby and I decided to go back to OPK's this month, as we are not having treatment. Every time I have ever used them up comes the smiley face on day 12. Am now on day 16 and nothing?!? do you think all the drugs last month have delayed/stopped me ovulating this month?!?!

Sometimes life seems to really kick you when you are down. Preg sister in law has moved out though - so least we have the house back to ourselves!

Hope all are well x x x
