Can anyone shed some light on IUI odds?

[Megg33k]

I'm not seeing shite on today's tests, in real life or in pics. I think we've been genuinely making it all up. I'm 11dpiui and slowly losing my mind. Temp took a nose-dive too! Boo! (To be honest, I don't feel like AF is coming yet though!)

Totally going straight to IVF if this time isn't it for me!

 

[MissyMooMoo]

hi lovely ladies - ITS FRIDAY !!!
Just to let you all know where i'm at

Am no 16DPIUI, and still testing negative. But no AF yet !!
When I had my IUI the doc said Test at 14DPIUI, if no AF then continue taking progestorone until 16DPIUI then test again, if negative then STOP progestorone and AF will come.
So thats what i've done. Stopped the progestorone and so expecting AF to come tonight/tomorrow.
I have also made an appointment with my NHS doctor for tonight to see what she says about IVF on NHS - if its a mega long wait am not sure i can hold out! and we will go to private.
We are not going to TTC this month - DH is away and will miss my ovulation, so its a nice break really. Then i imagine we will do IVF privately in Dec, depending on what NHS doc says tongiht.
all you other ladies I really hope you have better luck than me with your IUIs ! xxxx

Awww I hope you GET YOUR girl!!!!

Hey if you have your IVF in December and you get your that means you have to be T total at Christmas !!!!

oh hon
sounds like you have great pma about everything which is great.
We will likely be doing IVF end of Nov/Dec as well (have to go on BCP for a month before apparently) so we may be buddies.
pamper yourself today hon

huh I never knew that...why do you have to go on bcp a month before it???

 

[Megg33k]

They make you do BCP so that your cycle matches up with their IVF cycling days. They do everyone's in a group sort of... only do certain things on certain days... so you have to match up! I worry about that, because I can't take BCP... They literally make me homicidal!

 

[MissyMooMoo]

Oh for f..k sakes!!! That's not fair because what I am worried about now is that if you are on bcp IT MIGHT BE STILL IN OUR SYSTEMS. I can off that shite in January and I reckon thats whats made my body a mess. I still think it is gradually leaving me because my cycles have only just stabilized. And now I have just found out that they will be putting me back on it if I do IVF...... I'm gutted now. I don't think I will ever get pregnant

hey Missmoo, not everyone goes on the BCP before hand- it depends on what protocol you are on. My FSH # is boderline so he thought he would put me on a more stimulating protocol just in case which includes BCP for a month.
i agree i am totally gutted about it, I hate the pill, i was on it for over 12 years and I too believe that is a big part of the reason why we havent conceived yet...not to mention it delays IVF an entire month.
if your FSH is normal (less than 9 I think) they will put you on a shorter one probably (mine was 9 and than 10)

hope this helps

 

[Megg33k]

Tell them you refuse to take it, Missy! Hell, tell them you react like I do! Flat refuse... I bet they'll find a way to do it anyway!

 

[MissyMooMoo]

But I just want ANYTHING to work lol. Does the stronger protocol that you mentioned where he put you on bcp work better cos if so I wouldn't care then but I am just trying to get my head around how it would work. I just don't understand how they can do it hmmmmm. But if it works who cares. So which is best, going on it or not or are they the same? x

 

[Megg33k]

I don't have an answer for that... Hopefully someone will!

Hey hon, the longer protocol (on BCP) is suppose to be better for stimulating the ovaries and getting more eggs. Do you know what your FSH is? I dont know too much more about it either but we are meeting with the FS next month so I will ask more as I am curious too (he was debating whether to put me on this protocol and then said why not but we have to be careful not to overstimulate you..)

How is everyone doing?
I got af last night agggh....so unmedicated IUI was a bust this cycle gosh this is really starting to get frustrating. I am totally giving up this cycle though....need a break.
good luck to the rest of you
any news Meggs?

 

[MissyMooMoo]

Britt - I don't even know what HSG is and my doctor has never mentioned this to me. If the stronger protocol on bcp works that's ok I will do it. Thanks for explaining all that to me. I don't really mind what they have to do to me as long as it all works lol. Sorry your IUI was no good this cycle and hoping your next one will be get you your

Hey ladies !

Well just you give you all an update the witch arrived yesterday – she flew in on a massive broomstick cackling away, the nasty bitch.
Anyhooooo I commiserated with a glass of red and an online ASOS shop – I may not be pregnant but I am now the proud owner of some foxy peg leg trousers and a silk cami. Foxy laydeee.

So me and DH have had chats about IVF, we’re not getting much luck with the NHS so have decided we think we’ll go private. Anyway its around £6,000-£8,000 a cycle, then we got to thinking. Could we save some cash and take a nice holiday ? hmmmmmmmm. Been looking into the best of the best clinics in South Africa and they are more like £2,500 a cycle........ massive difference. Me & DH love SA and so would be great to go there for another trip.

Picture this – 2/3 weeks relaxing by the pool, nice food, chilling out and a bit of relaxed IVF on the side !

SO – how the heck does IVF work ? how do so many people from the UK travel abroad to do it ?? do they take like a month off work ?? or can you just head to your destination for the egg retrieval etc. and be there for 2 weeks ?

Also Italy is meant to be low cost too..........

The cash saving is obviously a massive bonus – but if i can chill out for a few weeks too then that would obviously be a big help to success

Anyone know anything about this ?!?!

Hi Scomar, sorry the got you

Where did you get that figure for £6,000.00 - £8,000.00 from??? Seems excessive. At University College London it is only £2,300.00 for a course of IVF and this is extended over 2 cycles normally.

 

[scomar]

eeek thats what my NHS doc said private was - but i'm going to email my now to check !x

 

[MissyMooMoo]

Well they're talking a load of b..ll sh..t!!! lol

 

[scomar]

crikey, i just phoned my doc's PA. She said £5,000 - £6,000 would be the max for 1 cycle. That includes all the drugs etc.
does your quote inc drugs ?
x

 

[MissyMooMoo]

That is a MAX figure....that includes everything, consulation, sa, hiv check, clomid, stimulation drugs etc etc. That is like a max figure. lol.

 

[Wallie]

Scomar I'm £3500 max for mine including drugs. Which reminds me 1 email and two phone calls to the hospital last week and not heard a dickie bird from them. I must go and call.

 

[scomar]

Man its expensive isnt it !
so anyone know how it works abroad ??
x

 

[scomar]

Wallie for £3,500 you'd think they would be jumping through hoops for us !! LOL !
yeah, chase em up and give em hell !
