Clomid to Femara with iui support

Well, I would love to wait until I get BW done at my RE's office on 6/2/15. However, I am a POAS addict and dont know if I am stong enough to wait till then LOL. I just hate seeing BFN after BFN, its draining. So we will see what kind of will power I have.
 
Good luck holding off momofadane!

I called my clinic and told them I started spotting yesterday, which is what happened last time. I spotted until I got my neg beta at 18 dpiui. They are going to let me go in at 16 dpiui instead this time.

I'm not really spotting like I was yesterday afternoon, but I think it's still coming.
 
Thats good there not making you wait, once I know I have a BFN I just want to move forward to the next round.
 
Hey ladies, I thought I'd jump in because we just did our first cycle of Letrozole/Femara + hCG + IUI + Progesterone after 13 months failed ttc. IUI was yesterday so I'm in the 2WW (this is the worst time of the month! Hahaha. I just end up googling everything!). 1-2 follicles, I'm not exactly sure because they didn't do an ultrasound the day of IUI. DH has good sperm count and mobility so let's hope this works...

Looks like a lot of others are also in the 2WW- best of luck!! Hope for the BFP very soon! :)
 
this is my first cycle on femera and i am on 9dpo today hope it works for me and all of you
 
:hi: I read this entire thread. :rofl:

This is my first cycle of taking clomid days 3-7. I had my 10 day Ultrasound this morning and I had 3 follicles. 1 15.5 and 2 13.5. My lining was 7.5.

I have a flashing OPK tonight and thinking I'll ovulate in the next 48 hours in which we will be doing IUI.

I am hoping and praying this will work and that things progress. This is cycle 9 for me.

Good luck everyone! Loved reading your stories.
 
Welcome adidrea, ashmom and tag! We would love for you ladies to join.

Momofadane- good luck holding out for the blood work. I always said i would try knowing I was too weak and I wanted to know asap if it was going to be a bfp. I was going to my last cycle but my dh was pushing for tests so I did and we kept seeing lines. I tried to play it off as line eyes if anyone remembers but it was our bfp.

Timetotry sorry to hear about your spotting. Remind me are you doing progesterone supplements at all? Glad your clinic is moving you up to 16dpiui.

Adidrea- has your clinic done any testing on you? Hsg, labs, CD2 ultrasound? 1-2 follicules is great. It only takes. Good luck to you and dh. Lots of baby dust.

Ashmom- Yay 9dpo almost to 14dpo. When will u test?

Tag- Yay it's always exciting seeing the flashing opk. It's almost like the opk saying you might be pregnant at the end of this cycle. Your daughters are beautiful.
 
Mkwalsh- we can't wait for your cycle off to be over and for you to continue ur journey.

amigone- where are you? June 1st is right around the corner. How r u?
 
Adidrea - Hello! Everything sounds promising for you. Yes, the TWW is just horrible!!! GL and FX to you!!

Ashmom - Cant wait to hear your results :) We are due for a BFP on here.

tag- Welcome, 3 follicles is awesome! How many IUI's have you done?

Future - How many days post IUI was your BFP?
 
Thanks for asking. I'm okay. Struggling with a bit of depression lately, and overwhelmed with a new puppy.

No symptoms. When I got pregnant in october I had sore breasts by day 9 after the IUI. Today is day 8 so I think that there's no hope. We are out of sperm and money so I have to learn to accept that I just don't get to be a mother. The universe is cruel and dangled the idea in front of us with our first IUI that ended in a MMC so... I don't know.

Maybe I lied at the top. I don't think I'm okay at all.
 
Momofadane- I had a bfn on 10 dpiui and thought for sure I was out. I mean the only other 2 times I got a bfp it was earlier. My natural cycle was at 7 dpo and my ectopic was around 9dpiui. But 10 dpiui ther was a very very very faint bfp. I actually told dh we had line eyes bc we wanted it so bad. I said that for 3 days and then finally did frer and had a good but faint bfp. Went in for blood work 14 dpiui.
 
Amigone- I am not going to say I know how you feel but I have had my share of bad/low days. I was actually pretty low 7dpiui- 10dpiuiI this last cycle. I was so upset that I thought I will never have children. I will never have the one thing I planned my life around. I did daycare, I became a RN, I married the love of my life that agreed about how we would raise our children, we moved back by family, built a house on the perfect plot, built the house to benefit children and our dog, and then started collecting nice toys. All for what, nothing. Nope tight night before my bfp I had a major breakdown. Cried all night imagining my life without children. I know it's hard getting out of bed at times, hard to make ur self eat, and just do simple tasks but you have to there is some plan for u whether you like it or not. Take a break from the boards, go do something you enjoy, enjoy your loved one and just get away from ttc. When I gave up it happened. I don't know why but I relaxed and said f it. Bam bfp the next am. Good luck hun.

Thank you for the warm welcome! :hugs: We have been doing the typical testing. First I did preconception blood work and baseline hormone test around CD3. I had 3 ultrasounds before IUI, one at CD3, one around CD9 and one on CD13. Took Femara CD 3-7 and hCG trigger shot on CD14. Everything looked fine on the ultrasounds and blood work. I think we're in the category of "unexplained infertility" because everything is coming back within range so far!! I'm not sure if that's good or bad...good because it appears to be fine, or bad that there's a problem that we can't identify (and thus can't fix). Hmm.... either way, we're not getting pregnant so I reeeeeeeeeally hope the IUI works!!

Adidrea - Hello! Everything sounds promising for you. Yes, the TWW is just horrible!!! GL and FX to you!!

Thank you! :hugs: The daily progesterone injections start tomorrow evening so at least I'll have something daily (and baby-related) that I have to do to take my mind off the wait! The two week stretch otherwise takes foreverrrrr hah.

By the way, has anyone here done Progesterone in oil? I'm slightly terrified. The needle is like 4 inches long!!

I am so sorry to hear this. I'm going to shut my computer right now and say a prayer for you Amigone. Sending lots of positive vibes your way...you never know, maybe this is the month!! :hugs:
 
Thanks for the warm welcome as well!!

This is my first IUI and first clomid cycle. My previous pregnancies were "uneventful" and natural. Everything is a little confusing but I'm learning!!

Saying prayers for you all! xoxo
 
Adidrea-i just finished my progesterone oil injections yesterday. I know the needles are forever long but honestly it's only the poke that hurts/stings. I had my husband give them to me. Remember to put ur weight on the opposite side of the shot to relax the muscles your poking. I got use to them after a while but every once in a while they still hurt. Have a cotton ball ready for any blood after the shot.
 
Tag if you have any questions there are plenty of women that are willing to answer or give support on bnb.
 
Hello everyone, I haven't been on here for a while. We have decided to do IUI with a sperm bank and finally have the $$ for it. We had tried at home insemination but it didn't work and after trying for so many years we just stopped and took a break. I'm super exited and feel as i've been blessed the last few month and just ready to go ahead, I'm going for bw next week. AF is due the 11th of June and that's the cycle i'm hoping to do the IUI. When we consulted about IUI they said i would be on clomid (already done it for 3 cycles in the past) but idk if they will do trigger or not since i do Ov on my own but i live about an hour from the clinic and i'm due to Ov on the weekend when they are closed so they might or might not do it. I've been happy about it and hope it only takes 1 try but i have my doubtful moments. Any suggestions to help me get ready?

Thanks FutureBabyG, that doesn't sound too bad at all! I think it's more mental...and seeing the long needle hahaha. I'm sure it will be fine, I'll know in a few hours! DH agreed to do it as well since it's kind of a tricky target :shrug:
 
momwannabe81 - Congrats on getting the donor sperm! That's exciting! I just did my first IUI three days ago and it's very easy and fast! You need to drop off the sample 1 hour beforehand since it has to be washed and treated (basically they try to concentrate it and separate the non-swimmers and they put the sperm in a medium that lets them swim better).

Then you lie down and a nurse will insert a catheter into your uterus and inject the sperm. It's a little uncomfortable but not painful...more like a pap smear. For me they then propped my bum in the air and I just waited like that for about 20 minutes for the little guys to have time to get into the tubes, and that was it!

You might be a little leaky so bring a pantyliner. I did not experience any pain or bleeding whatsoever- super easy procedure :thumbup:

Good luck!! :hugs:
 
Future - thank you, I am hoping to not test. However I know myself and I am sure I will, however I am not keeping any tests in my house (For now LOL)!

Momwannabe Thats so exciting you were able to get the donor sperm. I saw your and your DH have been trying for a long time. So happy you guys were able to move to this. Also, Just like Adidrea said, its just like a PAP! Easy Peasy! GL to you :)
