Clomid to Femara with iui support

[minuet]

Sunny! I see a positive blood test on your chart! Woohoo!

 

[FutureBabyG]

Momofadane- welcome. We would love to have you. I wish you the best this month but if af does show we would be happy to go on your femara journey.

 

[Sunny27]

Thanks everyone! Confirmed bfp with beta today. I go back Monday for another to be sure it's doubling.

 

[minuet]

Confirmation today that we're doing femara+injections next cycle. It's going to cost at least $1000, so I hope we get super lucky and it works the first month! If I respond well, we'll be willing to pay for a couple more months of it, and after that would need a financial break. The credit card bills have already piled up.
But as the ladies discussed in the other thread a while ago, we've waited long enough and WILL make a baby this year, credit card interest or not.
Not gonna lie, I'm feeling anxious about all the shots and blood work, and the odds of it even working. Ugh.

Minuet- sounds like a good plan. I hope it works out! !

 

[momofadane]

Minuet - Thats pretty much the same boat I am in. Since we were fortunate enough to already have one little girl, we are only giving this a few months due to financial reasons and my DH feeling horrible with the meds he is on. Hopefully we are lucky enough to get BFPs in our short time span

To everyone I have an EXTREMELY basic question.... I am currently on no fertility meds but will next cycle. They want me to test as early as possible though this cycle so they have everything ready for me. How early is it safe enough to test. I already purchased a pregnancy test and says, up to 5 days early.... but want sure how accurate and what other people usually do, but still get an accurate read.

 

[FutureBabyG]

Momofadane... I think everyone is different on testing time. I always have received a positive by 10 dpo at the latest. I have gotten one as early as 7 dpo.

 

[waitingongod1]

mom- depends how many days your lp is too. Mine is 14/15 days. I start testing 10 dpo, if I don't have positive by 13dpo usually i stop my progesterone... I also look at temps if they have started to fall I know AF is on her way and can know early.

OK, Thank you. The fertility doctor just said to test as soon as I can, and with these expensive tests I didn't want to waste any but still find out sooner than later if possible.

Thank you!!! I think my LTis usually 15days-ish. I am not on any progesterone or other meds until next cycle.

Hello ladies. How is everyone doing and where is everyone in their cycle? Any new news?

AFM I took my last bc pill Sunday. I felt so foggy while on them I couldn't remember anything. Now that I haven't been on them a couple of days i am starting to feel better. Friday we go in for ultrasound and start injections. Ugh I hate shots.i give them everyday but I hate getting them even though they really don't hurt it's the anticipation.

 

[Sunny27]

I'm doing good. I hope you ladies don't mind if I stick around. I would love to follow you ladies' journey to a BFP.

 

[momofadane]

AFM - I took a pregnancy test yesterday and it was a BFN. So I will be start the first round of Meds this week, hoping things go in a better direction!

 

[FutureBabyG]

Sorry momofadane about the bfn. Hopefully march/April will be your month.

Sunny27 I don't mind if you hang out. I will tell you on the expecting threads there is one called graduates and there are some really wonderful ladies there but I am not pushing you over there. I just know some things come up during the first trimester you may want some reassurance from other women who have experienced it.

 

[FutureBabyG]

Afm I just got my baseline ultrasound. I wasn't very happy with the appointment. They just rushed me in and out, no question time. I start injections tonight,next ultrasound wednesday.

 

[momofadane]

Looks like I will be right there with you FutureBabyG... I have HSG and ultrasound thursday.

How did you US go??
I go in for my HSG in the morning. First one so it should be interesting!

 

[FutureBabyG]

Ultrasound was much better than the last. I am a very shy person and I have to learn in every situation with ttc I can't allow myself to be comfortable. I have to speak up and ask questions. I asked the ultrasound tech about what she was seeing and she was very nice. She only measured 3 follicules on my left side largest was 13. They don't really care about the left side since my fallopian tube was removed. She said that I have 10 follicules on my right side largest measuring 14 which is great. I will continue meds tonight and tomorrow. Check up with another ultrasound and bloodwork Friday hopefully iui this weekend. I am hoping for Sunday but it may be Saturday.

I hope you get good news tomorrow for your hsg. I didn't think it was too bad.

 

[FutureBabyG]

Momofadane I can't wait for you to have the hsg behind you and a piece of mind. Any news let of clear tubes? Fingers crossed.

hello!!! Just got back from my HSG/US.

I cant believe you have 10 follicles on one side!!!! I cant wait to see how this all turns out. Keep me posted with the US tomorrow and IUI this weekend. Both fingers and toes are crossed for you!!!

HSG went great. Easy peasy! He said he tripled my chances of pregnancy for the next three months so I will take it. My US also went good, I have a total of 5 follicles, two mature they are hoping will release. My DH sperm count came back great too, which was our whole reason for needing assistance in getting pregnant. He was placed on testosterone replacement therapy which wiped his sperm count down to zero. With the meds he has been on and off the testosterone for 8 months he has 163 mil sperm. Woohoo!!!

I spoke with the Doctor and she said since our numbers are good to wait on IUI until next month. Or whenever we choose to. So We are going to try Timed Intercourse this month since we know what were working with now and possibly IUI thereafter.

Trying to stay positive, the doctor seemed very optimistic for us, so that is reassuring
