well she has made her appearance, tbh i'm not feeling as devastated as i did last month, i really think that iui isn't going to work for us and that we will need ivf - i mean we're unexplained so if something was gonna work surely it would have by now, well thats what i think anyway.

anyway good luck to all you ladies

So sorry, Sunshine. Don't give up hope. What's your plan for this cycle?

Sorry sunshine, you shall get your BFP! XX

Congrats on your news Yomo, you must be so pleased to have an answer and know that you can get on! I hope you don't have to wait too long for your first treatment.

Mrssunshine - so sorry this cycle is another bust for you. I know what you mean, we are unexplained also and I just know that something is fundamentally not right, just because they don't know what it is, doesn't mean its not there! But the IUI does give us a better chance than trying naturally and at least you are able to do your cycles back to back so it won't take too long to get through the cycles they want you to do before IVF and you never know, you still might get lucky! Best of luck and hugs for you.

ahhh sorry hon. I know how you feel, thats why I was pushing for IVF sooner than later for us as well....my FS did say more IUIs, more chances of a bfp.
good luck for next cycle hon
and I agree, getting my period 6 months into TTC was much harder than it is now, but still stings a little

 

[MrsJPC]

Sorry Sunshine! I feel your pain honey. AF is coming I can tell, even though following my last IUI I ovulated late and so now AF is 3 days late. How evil our bodies are to us. Why can't she just turn up early and not put me through this!!

Was also told at the weekend that my other sister in law is pregnant. So there goes my chance of giving any of my family their first grandchild. Although speaking of which my brother and his wife had their baby on Sunday. He is beautiful, really gorgeous.

Its just today is just one of those bad days. Like you Mars I feel something is really wrong. I am coming up for my two year anniversary and I am running out of hope....

oh, MrsSunshine, I'm so sorry . I don't know what to say really other than I'm sorry.

I had my IUI procedure today. All went well and OH is really positive and hopeful about it this cycle. We'll see how it all pans out in about 19 days - or less I suppose. The staff were wonderful and it's actually the first bit of encouragement we've had from any medical staff. They really were nice.

 

[MarsMaiden]

Good luck Wallie! Glad to hear you had a good start to the tww, really hope this is the one for you! *covers you in babydust*

MrsJPC - glad to hear your nephew finally made it into the world! Congrats on your auntieship! Hold on to that hope, there's a long way to go yet and we will get there *hugs*

yeah congrats Wallie, good luck with a bfp this cycle
wow, CD 12 that is early, did they give you a trigger shot?

 

[Isi Buttercup]

So sorry Mrssunshine. Wishing you all the best this cycle!

Wallie, so glad the IUI went well. Praying you get a BFP

Thanks and yes they gave me a trigger shot.

 

[mrssunshine78]

Thanks ladies for all of the support, i'm feeling suprisingly ok - apart from af pains and looking absolutely knackered!
So have one more natural cycle left then onto the evils of clomid for 3 cycles, i do feel like we're wasting our time, but i can't do anything about that, really feel like there must be some reason why we haven't conceived at all in 3 yrs!!!


glad your iui went well, good luck with your 2ww

hope everyone else is doing ok

[CathD]

Hello

I'm another one who's 2nd cycle of IUI didn't work as of today (on clomid, TTC 2.5 yrs with unexplained) and like you Mrs Sunshine my faith is fading! we're paying for it so i think we'll only do one more before moving on to IVF. To be honest, its only the fact that my clinic offers a 3 package deal that makes me want to try another IUI - i'm fed up and want to move on! Although I'm sure i'll feel more positive once the AF blues have moved on!

all the best everyone

[MarsMaiden]

Sorry to hear you were unlucky again Cath *hugs*

I started my next cycle on Sunday officially. Began injections last night and scan is booked in for next Tuesday. Really hoping that I respond better this time and get some good sized follies straight away especially as they only scan once! Assuming all goes well, I'll be testing just before my birthday too although I've learnt the hard way that the 'perfect' dates don't really make a difference, I'm hoping anyway!!

 

[sterretjie]

Hi ladies

I will be going for my second IUI soon. The first IUI i did with clomid but i'll be doing IUI with injections for the second one.

I've got a question please - I've read about a few people that mentioned that they gained weight using the injections & IUI, could you perhaps tell me how you experience the injections with IUI because i'm sure everyone is different.

 

[MarsMaiden]

Hi sterretjie - I can't say I experienced any weight gain with the injections that I was on. There was some bloating connected with the growth of the follicles I guess but this went away eventually. I think it helps if you drink plenty of water and keep plenty of protein in your diet.

I think progesterone can make your blood sugars go a bit wonky if you are on that after your IUI procedure so can make you want to eat more often but that is just down to willpower and eating healthily! I kept some fruit handy for snacking on and keeping the shakes away!

Good Luck!!

 

[mrssunshine78]

Good luck ladies - mars i hope you get some nice big follies

think i'll be going for m my last natural iui next thurs, think i'm going slightly mad cos i can't wait to start clomid again!! just so i know that the iui will be done more accurately, i know opk's are ok, but a scan and possibly ncg injection must be more accurate??!!!

How is everyone?? Britt, you still around honey?

I got back from hols a few days ago, feeling a little blah, got a bfn this morning and having shooting pains in my ovaries today, hopefully not cysts from over-stim!

How is everyone?

I changed charting sites - love the new site, it adjusts for waking times so makes life easier.
