Can anyone shed some light on IUI odds?

[CaseyBaby718]

Hoping to hear some good news from you zeezee! My fingers are crossed for you that this is your sticky bean!

 

[Wallie]

Update please Zee! Looks really good, I can definitely see a line on the third HPT. By the way those things are usually pretty crap, I've heard ladies say they don't get a decent line until about 5 weeks preggers.

Good luck!

zee - it is def sounding like you might be pregnant lady! The digis are usually less sensitive so I wouldn't of thought they'd still be picking up the trigger by now. Updates!! We're all on tenterhooks here!

Would be interested to hear what your different lining measurements were. Mine was only 6.5mm on day ten and had IUI on day 12 so wouldn't really have been thick enough if you ask me but of course the clinic said 'it should be alright!' I was on progesterone after the IUI too so really shouldn't have been spotting but it's all a big mystery to me!

Hi Sybil

I had the dye test done in March and my tubes are clear, I have a LH surge cd 14 every month I use the opk. I ovulate on my own according to the blood work I had done last Oct or so by my own doctor. I live over 2 hrs away from Halifax so there is no way I could be there every day. My af started today, one more month of clomid to go but it will be a waste of time just like the last 6 months, I have never had any issues that would explain why i can not get pregnant, I am so depressed today. I am 29 and have been off my birth control pills for at least 2 years. We would never be able to afford the ivf, my husband sounds like yousr, he don't understand why I get upset every month and thinks it will happen eventually.

Hi Charger22 - it sounds like we are in the same boat, except I am older than you at 35. Both myself and DH have had all tests done and everything is normal. I have been of BCP for 4 years and for the first year because of family issues, we didn't try to get pregnant, shortly after we started actually trying, I fell pregnant, but sadly ended in mc at 10 weeks. By the time we were given the go ahead to try again, my husbands job took him away for 4 months. It has been just over 2 years since he has been home and there hasn't been even a hint of a BFP since. I live about 3 hours from Halifax and the travel time/cost to Halifax is a lot, but if that's what it takes, I guess I will have to make the sacrafices!! Just to warn you, even with a medicated cycle of IUI, there is a lot of travel to the clinic, so you have to be prepared to make the arrangements.

omigodomigodomigod - did another digi this morning and was still positive! And then I peed'd on those cheapie internet strips - pic attached. I think its darker?

your pregnant hon, congratulations!!! gee I hope I join you soon.
what were your symptoms?

 

[CaseyBaby718]

YEY! Congrats Zeezee. Hope to see your first responses come back positive too.

 

[MarsMaiden]

Congrats Zee!!! Wishing you a happy and healthy nine months hon! I'm sure after another thirty something positive tests, you'll start believing it....

I spoke to the clinic this afternoon about my next cycle and I will be on the same med doses as the last time so we'll just have to see what happens. Apparently spotting for six days before AF is not normal (no, really??! duh!) but they don't do anything other than the standard meds on the IUI cycles!! Oh yay, so we'll just keep wasting the NHSs money on meds for pointless cycles then until i get to IVF when you might think about addressing the problem?? *sigh*

 

[zeezee]

Just came back from blood test, now waiting for the phone call confirming or telling me I was wrong... DH put his foot down over the FR tests lol, he said if I am getting bloods we can bloody well save the money (fair enough!).

Britt - no real symptoms, I have had a lot of cramping and pulling, but have had this every cycle on clomid. The only reason I actually tested was that I accidentially whacked my boob and the nipple hurt, so I tested! We'll see... FX!

Mars - my lining was thinner than that at 5.5mm. My clinic aims for 6mm but says 5-6 is also viable. Spotting like than AND on progesterone. Hmmmm. I saw your later post that they are not responding on that - can you go higher up to the clinic director and get some help, they should be treating YOUR symptoms, not continuing on standard protocols!

ohh exciting, good luck with the test!!

Definite Zee - Congratulations. I hear your OH but is that not what we all want to see, once in our life - a FRER saying Yes, you're PREGNANT. He's a party pooper! lol!!!

So, go over again what you had this cycle please, for all us hopefuls!


P.S I've started spotting, so should start IUI this next cycle which will probably start early next week. Mars I spot for days too, and FS/Nurses aren't taking any notice of me either. I'll speak to them about it again when I go to the hospital but progesterone they don't normally give to ladies on IUI, only IVF.

 

[zeezee]

OH

MY

GOD.

Beta came back positive!!!!! 31.5 which is normal for it beign so super early. Another on Saturday morning to see if it doubled.

I am excited and terrified!

 

[CaseyBaby718]

GREAT NEWS ZEEZEE!!!!!

How early are you??

Will I be seeing you in the May Babies posts?

Hi Wallie Same as last two cycles (clomid plus IUI) except for two things: (1) regular accupuncture from a little old Chinese lady and Chinese herbs, and (2) red meat every single day to try to build up the lining and get better blood flow to my uterus. I mean, I don't know whether this is causation or just correlation, but its the only thing I changed. FX the bean sticks.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE - thanks Casey!!! SUPER early - I think like 3 weeks and 3 days! I am only 11dpo in a 29 day cycle (14 day LP). EDD is May 2011. I am trying not to get too excited because of my lining issues - I now have to distract myself until Saturday's beta...

 

[zeezee]

Ok I am going to stop hijacking this thread after this, but I am so nervous about putting up a ticker, but have been dying to do it for so long!

FX for everyone, I can't thank you enough for your support.
