Clomid round 3 anyone else?

[Noele0002]

Thanks Dannixo! Sorry to hear AF arrived for you.

Noele-- My IUI's at the Gyno were a bit different than at the Specialist. With the ones there I had cramping and even some bleeding with one of them (could be why they didn't work). I always had to ask what the numbers were at the gyno and sometimes they didn't seem so sure. The 3 days abstaining is the norm and all of mine were within 24-36 hours after shot. When I was at the Specialist I actually fell asleep after the IUI procedure when they tell you to wait and lie there for 15-20 minutes. I did go back to work after, but my job is pretty low key. You can even have sex that night as an added bonus since there's no exact pinpoint on when you release the egg even after triggering. After they give you the trigger I always peed on a pregnancy test the next day to make sure the trigger had worked.

Sorry noele, didnt mean great news that af arrived, just that you dont have to wait to try something new!

 

[Noele0002]

Star- lol I knew what you meant and thanks!

Cntrygrl- Thanks! I hope mine doesn't hurt at all. I do have a lot of confidence in my doctor though. So excited

 

[cntrygrl]

Noele-- The one I had with my specialist I didn't feel at all. Lol and I was already bloated and uncomfortable from the injections.

 

[Noele0002]

Star- Tomorrow is your day I bet you are excited to have FINALLY made it to this part!! Can't wait for an update from you. Where are you at in your cycle now?

 

[star25]

Hi I'm CD26 today, no real feelings of af yet, where are you?
I'm excited for tomoro but at the same time know there will be more waiting as this is just the initial appointment but at least I'm a bit closer now

 

[cntrygrl]

Star-- You may be all set to start when your new cycle begins. You've already done all the preliminary blood tests and everything, right?

 

[Noele0002]

Star- I was thinking the same as Cntrygrl... Maybe since you are close to starting your new cycle they might jump right in? We can hope anyways! I am CD 8. Only 5 days to go until my follie scan!

 

[star25]

Hi ladies, initial appointment went well, go back on 3rd July for nurse consultantion for injection training and to order meds then start on next af, so hopefully end of July!
She went through whole process and said starts on day 3 with baseline scan and after a few days on gonal f they add in another med that I cant remember then will have scan every other day until egg collection and another injection 36 hrs before collection but cant remember the name of that either!
Also asked if I wanted to take part in a trial where they give you food hampers and smoothies for 4 weeks prior as theyre researching healthy diet and lifestyle etc so for that it will include an endometrial scratch which is thought to increase chances of implantation and also monitor embryos with an embryoscope to closely monitor them and if you have an embryo transferred you get a video of them under the embryoscope, so glad getting closer now!

Not long for you either noele, could be it for you

 

[cntrygrl]

Star-- Yay can't wait! Sounds like they have everything on track for you. The injections aren't so bad I promise. Just remember to do opposite sides each time.

Noele-- Won't be long can't wait to see how many follicles you have. Are you doing meds also?

 

[star25]

Thank you cntrygl, feels more real now and strange that soon could have an embryo transferred all being well

 

[Noele0002]

Yay star!! So exciting So cool about that trial too!! Sending you tons of babydust!!

 

[star25]

Not long now noele!

 

[Noele0002]

Yay! Today is my follie scan! I am nervous and excited! This last week has been so crazy and busy for me and I have been so exhausted. Running on barely any sleep, terrible diet since being on the go all the time (skipping meals or fast food), I haven't been using opks because I feel like a zombie in the morning and going to the bathroom before I even realize that I should have used an opk. I haven't been able to temp my bbt either because my sleep schedule has been so screwed up. I just hope all of this stress doesn't effect our chances with the IUI. I am also hoping all goes well at my follie scan because today is my DH's bday and I don't want to deliver bad news to him today. I am just going to think positive thoughts for the rest of the day and hopefully it all works out

Hope you ladies are doing well!!

Star- has AF showed yet?

 

[cntrygrl]

Can't wait for an update on your follie scan!

 

[star25]

Hope all went well today noele and you and dh had a good day for his bday

Af isn't here yet, boobs have been hurting for 4 days though now so shouldnt be long, I spoke to the Dr running the trial today and if I do it I wont be able to start the ivf after next af at start of august but the one after that as she has to first see us between CD18-24 and I'm already on CD32 , I'm
Torn between not waiting and carrying on without taking part or been a bit more patient and increasing our chances with the endo scratch and embryoscope, now ive written it down it makes sense to wait, ohhhh!

 

[cntrygrl]

Star-- You do whatever you feel most comfortable with. We'll all still be here rooting for you

Noele-- Waiting on your follie news!

 

[Noele0002]

Good morning ladies! Sorry I didn't update yesterday because my appt ran late and I had plan DH a surprise birthday party so I was busy busy busy!

My follie scan went good I think... The only thing I am a little bummed about is that my lining was only at 6mm but oh well I guess. I have two dominant follies on my left ovary that measure 17mm and 21mm. On my right ovary I had a 13mm and 8 that measured less than 10mm (so those definitely don't count) Im actually thinking those are just cysts. Anyways, I got my hCG shot and our IUI appointment is on for this afternoon Now just praying that DH has great sperm counts!!

Star- Like Cntrygrl said we will be here cheering you on no matter which way you choose to go.

 

[cntrygrl]

Noele-- Good Luck at your IUI appointment this afternoon. Lots and lots of sticky baby dust to you.
