Clomid to Femara with iui support

[adidrea]

momofadane - What brand of tests do you use? There are cheap ones you can find online that just have the test strip and none of the plastic, it's very basic but super cheap so I don't feel bad testing over and over. I can't help myself either!! It's hard!

Keeping them out of the house sounds like it would be very effective though hahahaha. I just HAVE to know, so they end up being an impulse buy

So the spotting that I had, only lasted for one day, on 12 dpiui. I tested yesterday and it was BFN. bloodwork is tomorrow, so I'm not expecting much. Sigh. I thought it was gonna be this cycle.

I've been reading a lot about it and I know the procedure itself is pretty easy. I'm planning to start taking prenatal vitamins but I'm not a daily pill taker ><. I've seen some of u taking baby aspirin. Should i? Also I know clomid tends to dry us up so wondering if I should worry about cm or not.

adrida - I was just buying the dollar store ones, then once it got close to 14 days I would do an FRER and all BFN's We will see how strong I a LOL

Timetory - Thats goof AF hasn't arrived! You're still not out

momwannabe - I take the chewable prenatals... they taste like candy, so I look forward to taking them LOL.

 

[ashmom]

this is my first month on femara and on 12 dpo i have blood work on Tuesday morning for bld pregnancy test and progesterone but tested this morning with fmu and got a BFN wouldnt it show by now if i am or not pregnant?

 

[Timetotry]

Bloodwork confirmed negative. Just waiting to hear back from my clinic about the next step and getting an appointment.

 

[momofadane]

ashmom - You definitely not out, you could have implanted later and it would not have shown a BFP at this point.

timetory- Sorry for the BFN Best of luck to you next month!!!

 

[ashmom]

i am hoping so i have been really gassy this evening but also have cramping on right side so that could be af coming to show her ugly face

Thank you futurebabyg were excited to get back down to business but taking this health break is making me feel better about going ahead with the next one. I'll be ready!

Momwannabe- if you're using donor sperm I would insist on using the trigger shot if possible. They can be pricy depending on insurance and all that, but when using thawed sperm, timing is even more critical than using never frozen sperm. I ovulate on my own but my RE insisted on using the shot and I'm so glad she did. It puts your mind at ease too so you're not wondering which OPK to believe and then afterward wondering if you got the timing down right. With the cost of donor sperm on top of an IUI it's worth the reassurance. Best of luck though! It's worked once for us

Glad to see some new ladies joining the group!! The more ladies we get the more BFPs! I can't wait to see them all start rolling out soon.

Amigone- honey, hang in there. I know I've got a LO but I've been there too. Your time will come. Not sure if it's what you want to hear, but you have to trust that you're doing everything in your power to make it happen and the rest is out of everyone's hands. Sending you a giant hug and loads of prayers!

Ladies! Hope you're having a nice weekend. So I'm a little bummed. Cycle day 10 (Thursday) I had my u/s and they saw 3 follicles on my right side, none on my left. They measured 15.5, 13.5 and 13.5 They said the 15.5 was promising. This is my first cycle on Clomid. I had a flashy smiley on the advanced blue digital fully expecting it to come sooner than it did. So five days later - this afternoon I get my peak reading. I can't get the IUI today and tomorrow my DH goes back to work at the most inopportune time. So I am out for IUI this cycle. I am praying one of those follicles performs well and that we can get the job done on our own.

How are all you ladies doing?

momwannabe81 - My RE told me to take aspirin. It's a mild blood thinner so theoretically it could improve blood flow to the uterus.

ashmom - I agree, you're definitely not out!! I heard some women don't get a positive HPT until about week 6! Good luck with your blood work!!

Timetotry - I'm sorry about your BFN I hope your appointment goes well and that you're able to find a treatment that works for you!

tag74 - Awww that's a bummer that this IUI is out! Looks like your follicles are great though, I wouldn't be surprised if the 13.5s caught up since you got your peak reading 5 days later...even if they grow just an inch a day that puts them at 18 which is great!! It just takes one spermy so I hope that TIC works for you! Good luck!!




I'm in the 2WW so I'm basically just waiting. We are almost a week post IUI. I have a hormone test on wednesday to make sure the progesterone is working, otherwise I'm thinking about taking a HPT sometime this week to see if the hCG has left my system yet.

I also found out that the in-laws are coming to visit on the same exact day that I take my beta test at the doc (June 3rd). We only see them about once a year because they live really far away so I'm excited to see them. However, we haven't told them anything so I'm worried about not having my day or two to sort of recover if I get a BFN. It usually requires lots of wine, haha... But now we will have guests and I'm basically an open book and probably won't be able to hide my joy/disappointment when we find out...So they'll find out something. Not sure how I feel about this Either way it will be good to have some family around! We live thousands of miles from everyone so it's good to reconnect.

How are you ladies doing? I hope your holiday weekend was good!

 

[ashmom]

just had hcg and progestorne test for the end of tww will get the call at noon im hopeful

 

[Timetotry]

Ashmom- did you test at home at all? Good luck!

 

[momofadane]

Ashmom- Any update??

Tag- It sounds like you respnded great to the treatment, however Im sorry about the IUI timing. Are you able to BD at least? Or does your hubby work far away?

Adrida - Stay optimistic You could get your BFP with great timing that they will be there.

 

[ashmom]

[momofadane]

Oh, Im so sorry Ashmom However, I hear IUI#2 & 3 work best!! FX for yu enxt month!!

 

[ashmom]

i am not doing iui. Im taking letrozole because my LP is only 5 days i take letrole from cd 3 to 7 and go every other day until follicle reaches about 18mm then everyday after that and days i go they take blood to look for LH surge the day when LH surges they will call me and tell me to bd that day and the next

 

[momofadane]

Thats great ashmom - sounds like you have it all done to a T

 

[FutureBabyG]

Welcome to all our new ladies. It looks like we have a pretty cozy group started. I had a really weird feeling last night that someone will be sharing a bfp with us soon. Here's hopes to hearing some great news.

Hey thanks! Oh good, you think I responded well? My back story had me doubting. My obgyn ran my day 3 numbers months ago and told me I needed an egg donor because my FSH number was 13.1. I was in disbelief. I had my day progesterone 21 numbers run and that was 15.3. My AMH was .4 (normal but not great). My RE really thought I had a shot, which is why I am bummed we missed this IUI cycle.

I am potentially 2dpo and I have had some significant cramp/pain on my right side which is where my follicles are. Today, I can't stop going the bathroom (sorry TMI). I didn't notice much ewcm this cycle so half the time we used preseed and the other half we didn't bother.

Trying to figure the "recipe for success" is crazy! I didn't have this much trouble with my previous pregnancies. I turn 41 in July and feel like time is running out.

Thank you for all your support!

Ashmom, I'm so very sorry about your BFN.
