Clomid to Femara with iui support

[Timetotry]

I'm hoping that the 36 hrs between trigger and iui allowed enough time for it to grow thicker. Does the progesterone help to? I'm on a high dose of prometrium (6 pills a day)

Well that was a surprise.

I went in for my day 12 ultrasound and I had a big 21x19x17follicle ready to go! Triggered that night and did the IUI 38hrs later (yesterday afternoon at 2). Lining was good, and the follicle was on my left side which is good (My right side has a lazy tube that eventually spilled during my HSG but was slow and so I don't like it).

Fingers crossed!! Test day is June 1

Timeotry - I was told that the progestrone keeps the uterus nice and thick, but I don't know much more than that.

Amigone - thats great news!!! Cant wait to hear how it goes!

 

[Timetotry]

Amigone- that's great! 3 mature sized! Good luck, welcome to the tww! Do you take progesterone too?

 

[Amigone]

No, no, that was the 3 dimensions of the one follicle. Length and height and width. Nice big one

 

[FutureBabyG]

I have never heard of them getting 3 dimensions from one follicule. Weird. Good luck. It only takes one.

Hey ladies,
So I just finished by CD10 US with my first month on the injectables and I have 7, possibly 8 follicles. They said 7 for sure, but the 8th may catch up. I can't believe it. It's either feast of famine it seems. However, my chance is only 28% for pregnancy still with an IUI. Except my chances for multiples increases (If I were to get pregnant) Twins 60%, triplets 12%, quads 4%. So I am freaking out a little. I would love one healthy baby. Futurebaby, You had quite a few follicles and ended up with one. So my DH and I are going to discuss everything tonight.

At my clinic they look at the egg using the 3D ultrasound or something. It allows them to be pretty accurate. Takes forever though.

So many follicles!! I would love twins but would be happy with any babies Good luck

Thanks Amigone, at the end of the day I just want healthy baby (babies). Twins are manageable, however my DH may fall over with a heart attack LOL. What seems crazy to me is my chances of conceiving are still on 28% despite have the sperm and Egg(s) in the right place. I guess there are still many stars that need to aline.

Question for you ladies.
I was told by my clinic in that I have to limit physical activity (especially high impact, twisting, bending etc) because my ovaries will be swollen for a while after injectable meds.
Today at work I was pushing a bin like I always do, not sure the weight, but bent over and only for about 10ft. When I stood up I had really sharp shooting pains in my ovary area, they lasted about 30 sec to 1 min.
Has anyone had anything like this? Wondering if I pinched or tweaked my ovary in a way it didn't like.

 

[Timetotry]

I tested this morning, 9 dpiui. It's negative of course, but at least I know the trigger is out of my system!

 

[FutureBabyG]

Momofadane- congrats on your follicules this month. Yes I had 10 good size follicules ready to go. We choose to go for it because we have put so much in and what r the chances of them all or a few taken when we had only been pregnant 2 in almost 2 yrs. I was suppose to trigger and iui 36 hrs later but my trigger vial was shattered and I didn't know it. So I triggered and did iui 24 hrs later. We backed it with bding every morning after for 2 or 3 days. We now have one little one cooking or we are praying we still have one cooking. I get so nervous before my ultrasounds wondering if they baby is still there and doing ok.

 

[FutureBabyG]

Timetotry yes I have done that while cleaning and picking up laundry. I don't know exactly what caused the discomfort but it definitely let me know not to do that again.

 

[momofadane]

Hi Timetory - I'm sorry I don't know much about that. My RE said to limit physical activity only because some one have issues conceiving when their heartrate gets too high. She said to take it easy, no marathon running. I told her that would be NO problem LOL. Are you testing throughout the whole cycle, Yes thats good you know the trigger is out!

Thank you Future - That makes me feel much better. I understand everyone is different and every cycle is different too. It will be interesting to see how it goes.

 

[Timetotry]

Preg tests are so addictive! I shouldn't have bought any! I had a 2 pack, so I did one at 10 dpiui and figured I'd save the other until later in the week. But then I woke up on 11 dpiui, and peed on it.
Bfn.
I want this week to be over.

 

[momofadane]

So sorry Timetory!!! I feel ya though! I can't have them in my house or it will consume by every thought and life LOL. Its still early for you through. FX!!

Just thought I'd check in and see how everyone is doing. It sounds like a lot of waiting I'm still crossing my fingers though! I'm having negative movement at the moment. Had to cancel this cycle due to some rather severe pain on my left ovary and they think it was a ruptured cyst. So to give my body a break, we're taking this cycle off in hopes my body will be in a better place for the next one. Since we have to use donor sperm, even with insurance the IUIs can be expensive.

I'll still be checking in with you ladies to see how everyone is doing and hoping for some BFPs!

 

[momofadane]

Im sorry Mkwalsh. Sounds like you body needs some rest!
I had my IUI today, 19mil post was with 50% motility and I had 7, maybe 8 follicles. Im hoping this will work!

 

[mkwalsh]

Momofadane - that sounds very promising!!! When do you think you'll start testing?
