Can anyone shed some light on IUI odds?

[zeezee]

How y'all going in the tww? MrsShunshine? MarsMaiden? missmarls? How you doing Britt honey? I know your not doing IUI this cycle, but how are things?

I did my third IUI today. I am not sure about the timing of it all - I never got a +opk and triggered Sat morning at 9am, but I really felt like I ov'd on Friday night. That could also be paranoia LOL. My lining is around the 5.5mm, which is not great, but plausible, so we went ahead with it all. DH's sperm was ridiculously awesome and he is puffed up like a peacock calling himself superman... He had 80 million swimmers at 80% morphology and 100% (yep, you read it right) motility AND 100% progressive motility. He is almost unbearable right now!

Its weird, I don't feel positive, I don't feel negative, I just feel tired. I hope this works. If not, then next cycle is natural, and may be one after that, and then onto IVF.

Thinking of you all.

OMG are you serious???!!!! thats like the best SA I have ever heard of. I was jumping up and down when DH's morphology increased to 12%!!!!! That is so awesome, man what is his secret lol??
Good luck, I have a feeling you timed it just right.
doing ok, not sure whats happening with my crazy body, temps state I o'd CD13 (which is super early) but I have no idea...we havent gotten in as much BD as I would like but who knows- hopefully we will tonight as I am CD15 today.
good luck everyone

Hey Britt FX for you darling, BD as much as possible you never know!!

I hope we timed it well - we are going to BD tonight at the 36 hour post-trigger and again tomorrow morning. Then shop's closed for a while

As for DH's swimmers, we improved them a LOT, and the only changes we made were were red meat every day instead of 3 times a week, and zinc tablets, and a buttload of leafy green veggies every day. So lots more protein really. I think its all really individual, but worth a shot right?

thanks- DH has been taking zinc and multivits- and his morph went from 6 o 12% lol...I wish we could hit 80%- congrats!!
so are you not doing IUI this cycle? just timed BD?
good luck to you as well

 

[MarsMaiden]

hey zee! Not doing too bad thanks hon, just ready for the tww to be over as always. Got a bit excited on saturday (9dpiui) when I got a bfp but it must have been the last of the trigger in my system as yesterday and today have been bfn's. That makes me 11dpiui and all hope really has gone for this cycle. I know it's not over and all that but given the numbers I had at the start, I'm really not feeling it so will probably just wait for AF to show now which should be sometime after Thursday.

Your DHs numbers were amazing, really hope that makes this cycle a good one for you! It does make me smile how closely linked a man's sperm count and his ego are!

Good luck to everyone else! We really are overdue some good news again in here

Hey,
I haven't been on this thread in a while....

I just wanted you girls opinions. I did timed Intercourse this month with clomid and trigger shot.

I am currently 15DPO (or 16 cause I was ovulating on my own before I took the trigger).

I took an HPT today and it was a clear (but not SUPER clear, it wasn't faint either) POSITIVE.

I was wondering if you girls think it could still be the trigger or if it could be a sticky bean?!?

ohh how exciting I dont know too much about trigger shots as I havent had one but from what I have read it should have been out of your system- a bfp at 15 or 16dpo is likely a true bfp!!! why dont you get bloods done at your clinic?
keep us posted

 

[CaseyBaby718]

Here is a pic of it: Just to get your opinions.

Also I set up the DR's appt tomorrow! SOOO nervous!!!

BFP BFP BFP!!!!!! that looks exactly how it should at 15dpo and its not faint- OMG!! so excited for you
make sure you get your blood work done as well
how many months have you been trying hon? did you do anything different?

 

[CaseyBaby718]

Been officially trying since Jan 09, but have been not trying, not preventing since Feb 08.

So it's been a long run... though I know that some have been having a longer journey.

Well didn't really do anything different. Except we used preseed and we actually KNEW we were BDing on my ovulation. I had started ovulating on my own before they told me to take the trigger. And we BDed the day I ovulated. And two of the most mature follicles had already released, so i suppose we caught one.... or two of those. Hopefully just one! YIKES!

I'm still trying to keep my cool, though it's not working so well. I don't want the Dr's to tell me that it was in fact the trigger! That would be totally devastating. I'm holding my breath.... maybe why I feel so light headed. ha ha ha!

then a well-deserved long awaited bfp!!
I cant see it being a trigger, I think most woman its out of their system around 7dpo and maybe up to 10dpo. How about symptoms?
also wouldnt you be late for your period??
I think your good but I understand not doing the happy dance until all is officially confirmed

 

[CaseyBaby718]

So as for symptoms, I have a TON of bloating, like literally painful bloating. Also cramps that are very UN AF. And my bbs are sore, mostly my nips though. Also i have some serious backache. It's mostly in my low back, but it shoots up to my mid and upper back soometimes.

No morning sickness though, but a little light headedness... but that could be from the bfp. LOL

I am officially 1 day late. Though I have pcos, I know that I ovulated on the 1st so I should be having a period since I did ovulate IF there truly wasn't a pregnancy. Or, I should be spotting, since I do spot about 3 or 4 days before period. Sooo i'm late! All directions are pointing to yes, but i'm still SUPER nervous.

This is the first bfp i've had since trying with the DH!! So i'm just sooo weary.

sounds awesome keep us posted on the doctors visit

 

[sj22]

Caseybaby - haven't been on the thread either but been checking in to see how you and others who were going through IUI at the same time as me were doing. I think that is most def a BFP! Trigger doesn't stay in system for that long. Looks like you're going to be a mummy Congratulations x

 

[CaseyBaby718]

Thank you sj! I'm trying to keep my cool until tomorrow's Dr's visit.

 

[MarsMaiden]

casey - the trigger leaves your system at about 1000ius per day so assuming you had 10000ius and no top ups then it would be very well clear of your system by now! CONGRATULATIONS!!! here's to a h+h 9 months for you!

 

[CaseyBaby718]

Thank you marsmaiden.

I'm still not announcing anything officially to anyone until the Dr's visit tomorrow, which I am REALLY nervous about.

 

[Joli]

Caseybaby - I know this isn't official yet, but it's sounding so positive!! Congratulations! Make sure you post pics of your test!

 

[CaseyBaby718]

Here is the test I took this morning:

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Dark_Daze718/SANY0768.jpg

Heading to the DR's shortly! At first I thought it was lighter, but actually now that i'm seeing it and I've let it rest, it looks darker.... so i suppose everything is going in the right direction.

Not posted on this thread before but have been stalking all your progress, but just wanted to say...

Congratulations CaseyBaby! Hope all goes well at the Dr's today.
