Can anyone shed some light on IUI odds?

[MissyMooMoo]

Well if it feels different then maybe it is different. Maybe its cos your making a lil beanie baby x

I hope so. I hope the timing was right and I ov'd the day of iui. I'm worried my estrogen wasn't high enough the day of trigger. It was only 81. The past 2 iui's it was higher the day of trigger.

Hey Girls!

Heya Scomar! I'm so excited for you about your upcoming IVF. I hope these next 2 months go by very quickly for you.

Still keeping my fingers crossed for you, Greeneyes, I really hope this is your month! Not too sure about the pains you're having, maybe leftover OV pain?

I've been feeling blaaaah lately. Just very tired (I went to bed at 8:30 last night!) and I've also been feeling some twinges around my ovaries and abdomen. At first I thought it was from my trigger shot, but I'm 12dp trigger.. it should be out of my system by now, right? Anybody else felt like this before?

Sounds good
When are you testing?

Hi all! Sorry have been awol for so long but the last couple of weeks have been manic! Just to update you that my last iui resulted in a bfn Next cycle will be in December now although I have an appointment with my fs in november and have a list of questions as long as my arm to ask him about why I am not responding well in terms of follie size and lining and why I'm not ovulating regularly.... so we'll see!

No time to catch up properly so will just lobb some babydust around and hope that it falls on all of you!

I don't think I'll be testing at all, actually, I'm pretty sure I'm not pregnant. I shouldn't have gotten my trigger shot at all, they gave it to me before the blood test came back and it showed no mature follies. It's got me wondering, though, especially with these symptoms I'm having. Though they could be AF symptoms. Who knows.

 

[greeneyes0279]

Amb - What symptoms are you having?

I'm just cramping and my lower back hurts. Don't think I'm preg. I'm gonna beg my fs to let us try on our own with the fertility meds. I never produce more than 2 eggs. We can't afford to do another IUI until February.

I've just been extremely tired and worn out lately. I've even been going to bed really early and still being tired the next day. I've also been having some weird twinges kinda where my ovaries are, but more on my right side. Sometimes in my lower abdomen. It's strange, I don't usually feel anything like that before AF, but could still be considered AF symptoms, I suppose. Why don't you think your IUI worked?

The cramping has stopped and I don't have any other symptoms. With my daughter I had loads of symptoms very early. I just know it didn't work.

Did my first injection today. I was surprised it didn't hurt (everyone here told me it wouldn't). I'm excited about the whole process. I'm supposed to travel Fri thru Sun and I'm a little worried about the timing. Worse case scenario I guess I won't be traveling with my friends to the casinos lol I hope the IUI can be done by Friday.

Greeneyes I hope everything works out for you. Sending baby dust your way!

 

[Amb434]

Hey Girls.

Just thought I'd check in and see how everyone was doing.

Greeneyes, you should be testing soon, huh? I know you think your IUI didn't work, but I'm still pulling for ya.

MiBebe, I'm so glad your injections are working out well for you. I'm pretty nervous about them myself, thanks for making me feel a little better about it. Good luck and keep us posted.

Well, all of my weird little crampy feelings have passed. I think my body is just really trying to have a period, just hasn't happened yet. I even POAS the other day... don't know what I was thinking, lol. My FS wants me to wait til CD35 before I start prometrium. Then I can finally start my injections and get this cycle rolling.

 

[MiBebe]

Amb434 I'm hoping my story will help somebody trying to get help and is scared if IUI. I have been TTC without assistance for 6 years cuz I was afraid of a needle that doesn't even hurt. I feel very silly waiting so long.

Go back to the FS office tomorrow for my second ultrasound. I'm new to IUI world... now I'm confused and I'm not sure if the doctor said he saw two eggs or two follicles developing when I had the U/S yesterday mrning. Guess I'll find out tomorrow morning.

 

[Megg33k]

MiBebe... You can't see eggs... only developing follicles that will produce the eggs.

 

[Quaver]

My first scan for IUI is CD14

 

[MiBebe]

Yes I was just about to come in here and correct my old post! LOL
OK so here's my REAL UPDATE:

I confused eggs with follicles, I'm still new to all of this so sorry I posted the wrong info on Wed.

My right ovary is not obeying and right now the follicles are still small. Doctor asked me (different doctor, this one was extremely nice) if I have irregular periods and I said no. This question made me feel sick to my stomach. I was going to ask him if something was wrong with my right ovary, but decided against it so that i don't fill up my mind with negative thoughts. He then showed me the left side and there was one follicle measuring 17mm. He said that this one was growing nicely. They drew blood and will check my estrogen levels and let me know when to do the trigger shot. He said that the IUI will be done today (seems pretty damn fast), tomorrow or Sunday. I'm not sure why he said today since I haven't even taken the trigger shot yet.

I am a little sad that my right follicles are not responding. I hope this doesn't decrease the chances of conception. I'm on the train trying to stay optimistic. God is good.

I always had ov pains on my left ovary, and since I've been to my FS back in June, I ov'd from my left ovary every time. I think my right ovary is broken

 

[Megg33k]

I never got pains from my right ovary and was sure that it wasn't doing anything. But, when I did my IUI, I had 4 dominant follicles on my right ovary and 2 on my left. So, not feeling ovulation pain from one side apparently means nothing.

Quaver, well I hope you're wrong! I think the doctor's would have told you by now if something was wrong with that ovary.

Megg, I don't feel ovulation pain (or at least never noticed) on either side. My only guess is that maybe the medicine dosage was too small. I'm not doctor so I can't tell. I get my periods regularly every month right on the nose, every 28 days. I can't imagine why the right ovary wasn't responding.

I think I'm more concerned over the fact that its just one follicle. Maybe I'm wrong, but wasn't I supposed to have more than one follicle developing? Not sure if I even want to know.

 

[Megg33k]

Some people only have 1 or 2. I ended up with 6, but that was RARE and not really best case scenario. They'd rather have 1 or 2 good ones than as many as I had for IUI. You should be just fine.

 

[greeneyes0279]

MiBebe - Don't worry, one is all you need. I wouldn't worry about your right ovary. It's just not your dominant one. Doesn't mean you never ov off it. My left is my dominant. It's the one I ov'd off of when I conceived my daughter. So no worries.
