Yes, a BFP next cycle will bring us a 2016 baby!

I know, It was a clear positive, three of them. Not bright blue, but a definite line. Crazy how they can sell them. On the box its says its positive, even if lighter than the control. Well that not true

Next month still Femera, trigger, and progesterone for me. We were going to try a few more cycles naturally since my DH sperm is good and I seem good. Insurance wont cover fertility so we were going to try a few more natural then IUI. If that doesn't work, then no baby number 2 for us. So fingers crossed it will happen.

Momofadane how long after you do the trigger do you bd? Do u get ultrasounds to verify when to trigger or use opks?

The doctor has it all planned out and written for me haha.
I triggered Monday morning 9am, then BD 9pm that evening, 9pm tuesday evening, then any time of wednesday. And yes, I got an ultrasound that told me when to trigger. I didn't use opks, actually didn't think about it because I assumed I ovulated. Should I do that next time?

 

[momofadane]

One other thing.... I got my ultrasound 3/19, and didnt trigger until 3/30. that seems kinda far away. Dont they usually wait last minute prior to Ovulating for the US to tell you when to trigger. then again, Im new at all this!

Hey ladies, I'm still here lurking and following your progress. Momofadane, when I triggered I had my US that day and triggered that night. Then I went for an IUI the next morning.

yeah see I dont know how they would know if I didnt ovulate before that and how mature my follicles were. They ended up doing by HSG on the day of my US which is why they did it so early. I will talk to them about it this month. Thanks sunny for that. Also if you dont mind me asking Sunny, how many IUIs have you had? and how many follicles? Im sorry Im so nosey, I am just curious if this will be beneficial for us.

 

[Sunny27]

I had 3 IUIs total. I was on Clomid for 4 months Oct-Jan. I then switched to Femara in Feb. Feb was the first time triggering and I had two follies on my left (26, 18) and five on my right (23, 20, 15, 13, 11). My lining was 5.4mm but they told me to go ahead with the trigger shot and we did our 3rd IUI.

WOW, so 7 mature follicles? I guess my physician will only do IUI if I have 3 or less mature But thats great you responded so well and got your BFP!!!

 

[FutureBabyG]

Momofadane that's really strange for the ultrasound to be so early. I use to do meds cd 3-7 then ultrasound cd 12. I use to use opk up until trigger to make sure my ultrasound didn't need to be sooner. One month I did ovulate early. Then I triggered usually night of ultrasound because follicules were 18 mm or larger. And then iui 36 hours later. I did a couple 24 hours. On the cycles I have got bfp we had bd so 2 days after.

I would assume that the ultrasound wouldn't be the spread out for more accurate results...but sometimes I just have to trust my doctor that he knows what he is doing...you could always ask for extra ultrasound if you have to do another cycle.

 

[waitingongod1]

My appointment is finally tomorrow! So excited to hear my doctors thoughts and what is to come after these failed iui's! Hope I can sleep tonight!

OK I was totally off with my dates HAHAHA. No wonder that didnt see right. I had my US on 3/19/15 and triggered 3/23/15!!

Yay cant wait to hear how it goes!!! GL to you!!

 

[momofadane]

My DH and I decided last night that were doing IUI this month... and every month after till it works LOL. Well maybe! Did any of your doctors give you statistics on the percentage of it working? Also, I heard that after 3 failed IUIs they dont recommend doing more?? I hope we dont get failed IUIs but who knows with my luck!

 

[FutureBabyG]

Momofadane good luck today at your appt. I was told by me OB/GYN and FS no more than 3 clomid cycles and no more than 6 oral med cycles. I had 3 rounds of clomid. 3rd round I had bfp but was ectopic. Then did 1 round of femara. FS wanted me to stop and do at least 2 rounds of injections. I read more than 6 rounds of oral meds can cause decrease quality in eggs and lining.

 

[momofadane]

Ugh, well thats depressing!!! I am waiting for a call back from my FS. From what I remember they told me on Femara ad TTC naturally I had a 15% chance. Where as IUI 30%

 

[FutureBabyG]

Momofadane just because my doctors say that doesn't mean your doctor believes the same thing. I hope your FS has better news to calm your mind. Remind me what meds u have done and how many cycles each? You will have a baby soon. Just because something didn't work for me doesn't mean it won't happen for u.
