Clomid to Femara with iui support

[Timetotry]

Hi ladies! Can I join you?
We have been ttc 21 months, I was diagnosed with PCOS.
I'm on metformin now. We tried 3 rounds of clomid and weren't successful.
So this was our first iui cycle. I did femara 5mg and then menopur 75.
I had 3 mature follicles on the right, at trigger, and 2 possibles on the left.
I'm now 6 dpiui and using prometrium suppositories.

So nervous for higher order multiples!!!
How do you all handle the tww?

Of course you can join

Sounds like you found the right thread!! I trigger Monday, so not quite in the TWW yet. I wont take a pregnancy test until 04/07/15. It will be the longest month ever LOL

Momofadane congrats on the wonderful news. Yes my md said the same thing about increasing fertility. Now you are golden. You have more than 1 egg, great sperm and perfect tubes. Good luck, we should be testing around the same time in April. I think I will wait until I miss my cycle... haha we will see how that goes.

And I second that.... TWW makes me a little crazy. Thats why its nice to have this sight... to know your not the only one going a little nuts

Do any of you guys know if Femara or the Trigger gives a false positive reading if you test a little early?

 

[sugargully]

I know the trigger gives a false positive if tested early. It's made of HCG, the pregnancy hormone. Some ladies like to test each day after trigger do they can watch it slowly disappear. I tried that but chickened out when it got close to really testing. It's hard to see stark negatives.

I do not handle the tww very well!!
This one is harder, I'm not allowed to work out or run or anything that could affect my swollen ovaries.
I've been watching a lot of tv lol. Thankfully I have to work a lot during the wait so that distracts me a bit.

My clinic does bhcg on 18 dpiui, but I'll most likely test before then! I took a test yesterday and the trigger is almost out of my system. I tested with a test that was 10 miu sensitivity and got a squinter, so I'll test again in a couple days to make sure the trigger is completely gone.

 

[FutureBabyG]

I have tested the trigger out an it always disappears before 10 dpiui. I don't know if I will test or not... who am I trying to kid yes I will. I want to see what the md says today about testing if she does. She may not say anything until iui. Another ultrasound today and bloodwork...ugh.. more poking and prodding. Come one baby momma hates being poked and prodded. Lol

 

[momofadane]

Sugargully- I think thats how I may be... I bought about 5 pregnancy tests at the dollar store in case I decide to test it out... but we will see. Knowing me I will wait. The doctor wants me to wait 14 DPO. We will see if I can wait that long

Timetory - Im sorry you have to remain so sedimentary. Im excited to hear about your results Keep us posted! Sorry for all the poking and prodding, but at least its for a good reason!!

FutureBabyG- HAHA your so funny.... its so hard not to test!!

 

[FutureBabyG]

Well had ultrasound and bloodwork. Bloodwork is great. Apparently I have no problem cooking up some eggs. I have 10 on the right side. One is at 15 mm five at 14 mm and one at 13 mm. Basically I have a chance at 7 releasing and fertilizing all at once... ugh. MD says i have to agree to selective reduction or cycle is cancel and I just wasted 4000 dollars. Ugh how does one make that choice? My husband wants to go forward. I am just shocked we only had 3 that were advanced last time now 4 caught up. What do u ladies think?

 

[momofadane]

WOW FutureBabyG!! I cant believe how well you responded.. so well it put you in a tough situation!! Did the MD say the chances of all of these fertilizing? Its easy for me to put my two cents in because Im not sitting there in your situation. However, it seems like you have been TTC for so long and your husband wants to move forward. This could be your blessing in disguise... maybe you need all the eggs to get your little one. If it were me I would go for it... but like I said. Its easy for me to say!

 

[FutureBabyG]

Thanks momofadane. The doctor can't legally bind her self to numbers. It looks like our chances are very For more than twins but you never know.

That makes since... they couldn't legally tell me my chances of twins either (even though I know with only two follicles its slim).

 

[Timetotry]

Good luck future baby, we had the same situation with 5 follicles.
We went ahead with it and I keep panicking randomly about it.
I'm hoping that not all follicles contained eggs.

 

[sugargully]

That's a great response Futurebabyg! I would do the selection if it were up to me. Remember if more than 1 fertilizes, they can also split and divide. That would be so many babies at once!

 

[waitingongod1]

Future baby - haven't been on this thread in awhile. Congrats on all the follicles. What medicine did you take? Last iui I had 10! I'm on to my 3rd iui and last one but have to wait for a cyst to clear up that I got from clomid. Good luck in 2ww. I would go forward with iui if I were you! My doc doesn't know why but his research believes that more follicles doesn't always produce more pregnancies

Ya I did some research and it says the same thing about iui. Except I am in injectable fertility meds so it does say they will increase my chance of twins and triplets. Nothing beyond triplets though. I hope we get twins! Come one babies!

I am on menopur 2 vials per day for 5 days. Then ultrasound then 2 vials of bravelle 2 days ultrasound bravelle 2 days. Then bloodwork tomorrow. Then trigger and iui monday or tuesday depending on bloodwork.

 

[waitingongod1]

Shew...if we weren't in infertility we would have thought you were speaking in another language! Anyways good luck!

 

[momofadane]

hahaha no kidding waitingongod1. I have only been doing this one month and learned so much!!

 

[momofadane]

My TWW begins today... Triggered on Monday. Still debating on testing out. The Doctor says to wait until 4/7 to test. Hopefully I can wait that long!! When does everyone test?
