Can anyone shed some light on IUI odds?

[MarsMaiden]

Congratulations Zee! Your numbers sound great for so early, I'm sure that little bean is snug as a bug in a rug!

I will be seeing the FS on 09 November and the nurse mentioned that he might be able to introduce some oestrogen to try and help my lining and stop shedding early. Of course my third cycle will be done and dusted by then but maybe it's something he'll let me try for the fourth (and last).

Wallie - I have been on progesterone but unfortunately am spotting through it. My body just seems pretty determined to mess me around I think! Good luck for your next cycle hon, hope that cyst has sorted itself now.

Zeezee congrats on the BFP!!!!

Did you perhaps experience any twinges? I've started getting sharp twinges especially in my left ovary and i'm 9dp IUI with injections. I had 2 mature follies this cycle of 18mm &19mm and hubby's motility was 75% which is good. I'm to scared to get excited too soon?

GREAT NEWS ZEEZEE!!!!!

How early are you??

Will I be seeing you in the May Babies posts?

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]

Awwwww, thanks you guys - I am so nervous about tomorrow's beta, FX for doubling!

Britt - I EXPECT A BPF FROM YOU! I need my cycle buddy as a bump buddy!

Sterretjie - yes! I had LOTS of twinging, but I had that the last 2 cycles as well so I assumed it was clomid/overstimulation related. FX for you honey, let us know!

[Britt11]

hey girls, just wanted to send an update- the witch got me bright and early this morning...sigh. This was a natural cycle but i think we may do an unmedicated IUI this month and then possibly IVF in Oct. So unfortunatley ZeeZee and I arent cycle buddies anymore oh well hopefully we can still be bump buddies soon.

how are the rest of you?
good luck for the upcoming IUIs

 

[zeezee]

BUMMER Britt But I am still counting on you as my bump buddy This is your month, I feel it!

hcg results in - starting hcg = 30.5, 45 hours later = 91

I have another test on Monday, hopefully all goes ok there too - I am really freaked out about it not going well but keep telling myself that every day I am preggo is a gift and to deal with things as they come.

Hope everyone is feeling ok, you are all in my thoughts.

[Wallie]

Great news on the numbers Zee. It really must feel surreal for you after all this time. Enjoy it though!

CD1 for me today so I'll phone the hospital tomorrow and see about starting my IUI #2 this cycle. I hope this damn cyst is gone.

great numbers Zee I had a feeling they would be, and great pma about everything.
I am feeling good about this cycle too, I just found out that a girl I know got pregnant with unmedicated IUI after a very long time TTC, so you never know- at least I dont have to worry about Clomid thinning my lining

Wallie sorry the witch got you, I know how you feel hon- we ARE getting our BFPs this month and joining Zee

 

[mrssunshine78]

those numbers sound really good zeezee! how exciting!!

sorry af got you both britt and wallie

i go for my day 12 scan on tues, so we'll see when i'll be getting my next iui

good luck to everyone

xx

 

[zeezee]

297 297!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They have more than tripled!!!!!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[Britt11]

297 297!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They have more than tripled!!!!!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

whooop whoop its a sticky!!
happy for you hon, so I got a call from the clinic, i may be offered treatment for IVF soon...so basically this month is OUR LAST chance before paying $15,000 for IVF!! I am praying my unmedicated IUI works!!

 

[Wallie]

Wow Zee, those numbers are brilliant. Maybe you have a multiple pregnancy?!!!!

Well a few days ago I reported I was on CD1, well I'm not yet there! I've been spotting since last Wednesday night, hardly anything really but Sunday I thought, yeh here it comes (so I can do my next IUI) and still nothing but spotting. This absolutely drives me nutts. What on earth can be done about it as surely I can't get pregnant with spotting going on for 5 days plus a cycle?

If it wasn't for the fact that I want to have a baby, that's 5 days where I wouldn't be able to get jiggy with OH plus the 5 days when AF does arrive. Nearly half the cycle I would either have spotting or AF

 

[mrssunshine78]

zee that sounds fantastic!!

wallie - are you sure you're not preg? have you done a test?

good luck to you britt - hope this cycle works, thats a lot of money for ivf, do they have a good success rate?

xx

 

[MarsMaiden]

mrssunshine - good luck for your scan. Hopefully the clomid will be doing something good for you that will have made it worth the side effects!

wallie - if you get any answers about the spotting, let me know! It sounds like our symptoms are very similar. I am spotting again today on cd10, way too early for ov spotting so I am getting good old fashioned mid cycle bleeding! Fairly sure this will be an anovulatory cycle for me. Could your spotting be linked to the old cyst somehow?

zee - your numbers sound absolutely fab! Did you have more than one follie? Have you got your 6 week scan booked in yet?

britt - sorry the witch got you, fingers crossed this cycle works for you before you have to try IVF. If its unmedicated will you still be monitored?

 

[Britt11]

zee that sounds fantastic!!

wallie - are you sure you're not preg? have you done a test?

good luck to you britt - hope this cycle works, thats a lot of money for ivf, do they have a good success rate?

thanks hon, you guys are all so supportive on this thread, its nice.
Yeah, actually the clinic has a 65-70% success rate for my age group (early 30's). Its rated one of the top in North America and has the highest success rate in Canada...they seem to know what they are doing. I agree its a lot of money, you should get 3 tries with that cost!!

Wallie- hope you get AF soon...lol cant believe I'm saying that or yeah have you done an HPT? you never know

Mars- sorry about the spotting, i had that a couple of cycles but the doctors werent concerned, they said that can be very normal in a woman's cycle

 

[Wallie]

I'm still spotting but nothing much at all to write home about. I thought AF would appear in full force today at least but no, nothing at all. Not even wearing a pad now, and when I wipe nothing either. Weird. No doubt in at least 2 days time AF will appear, so no point even thinking I'm pregnant as this is quite normal for me albeit alot more spotting and for alot less time usually. Maybe 2-4 days at most. This is 7 days today! Might be have something to do with the cyst but if I normally get spotting, who knows.

 

[mrssunshine78]

well scan was pretty rubbish today, have a few follicles, but they're all still quite small no leading follie yet, so another scan on friday, she said today i'd either already ov'd or i'm just a slow responder to clomid - great! when i took clomid before the 1st cycle i ov'd on cd20, so i suppose i'll just have to wait and see, pretty sure i haven't ov'd yet.

feeling so sick of it all today, everything just feels like a waste of time i'm just so fed up of ttc it can all just get so depressing can't it?

hope everyone else is feeling a bit better - although by the sounds of it most of us are having a tough time at the moment

just wondering - how old are most people on here? i'm 32 and hubby is 33

[Wallie]

Yes, Mrs Sunshine, it's tough. I'm so depressed with it all now, so I know how you feel.

I'm 35, 36 in October and OH is 39. We've been trying for 3 years this month and it feels like forever!

Everyone have their FX'd for me that I'm on CD1 today please. I've had enough of a week of spotting. I'll then be able to get on with IUI#2 however that'll be another load of emotions to go through again.

 

[MarsMaiden]

Britt - that sounds like great odds for IVF! I for one know I would rather pay more for the chance that we were only going to have to do it once. Hopefully this natural cycle will work for you though *hugs*

Wallie - Really hope you hit day 1 today! When you know AF is on her way, there is nothing more frustrating than when she's late!

mrssunshine - I'm sure those follies will grow! At least you are being given plenty of monitoring and time for them to catch up! I've just turned 32 and dh is 34, we've been trying since Feb 08 so it does seem like a lot of us are in very similar situations. And if one more person tells me I'm still young, they may just get a punch in the nose!! I decided to have children at 30 because I knew that was the right age for me to be grown up enough to be a mum but still young enough to enjoy it. I now see the years ticking by and know that I might not be a mum until I'm in my late 30s and I hate that my choice has been taken away from me.
