Clomid to Femara with iui support

[TTC74]

I just came back from my ultrasound. I have 5 growing follicles. They are 18,16,15, 15, and 13. I'm very excited but a little concerned because my RE said he wouldn't let me trigger with more than 4. The nurse seemed comfortable that he would, though. She will be calling me this afternoon with instructions. She seems to think that I will be returning for the next day or two for an ultrasound and that I will likely trigger tomorrow night or Sunday night with an IUI day of Monday or Tuesday. Oh, and my uterine lining is 8.5. So, that's great, too!

I bet you'll be okay too. You're on cycle day 8? That 13 follicle may not count in their eyes even though there is some time for it to grow.

 

[TTC74]

That's right. I'm on CD8. So, they are thinking trigger on CD9 or 10 with IUI on CD10 or 11 (assuming it's a go). I was thinking along the same lines as you, though. What are the chances that the 15 follie will actually be mature enough? Seems pretty slim.

 

[tag74]

Technically 15's can still work and if they trigger you tomorrow or the next day they could grow 1-3mm a day...you never know! The 16 and 18 are great.

Any reason they aren't waiting a few more days to allow them to grow?

 

[TTC74]

I have NO idea. The nurse is going to call me this afternoon after consulting with the RE and update me. At this point, all my info is coming from the RN but she's been there for ages. So, I figure she likely knows what she's talking about.

 

[tag74]

It doesn't hurt to ask. I think you have amazing odds if you have 2-3 mature follies! Good luck! Rooting for you!

[FutureBabyG]

She has the banner she's 3 weeks and 5 days prego.. yay... let's see the stick.

 

[TTC74]

Oh! I see the ticker! Congrats! What was your miracle cocktail this cycle?

 

[tag74]

Crazy right?? I tested BFN yesterday...wasn't going to test today, but I have so much CM it is unmistakable. This was with one round of Clomid. Please pray this baby sticks. I really wasn't sure I could get pregnant again.

 

[TTC74]

Prayers coming your way, Tag!

 

[tag74]

Thank you! I skipped IUI because of work schedules. I had 1 15 and 2 13.5 follies at 10 dpo. O'd on cycle day 14 on my own and we just BD'd like crazy.

I am still in shock.

Sorry ladies that I have been mia in posting and replying. I have been reading at night just haven't been responding.

Momwannabe- welcome to the group. We have a pretty nice size group and everyone is wonderful. Ps I would start the Aspirin sooner than later imo.

Ashmom I am really sorry to hear about your loss. Here comes you tww hopefully you can relax a little.

Ttc congrats on ur follicules. They sound plump and ready to go soon. Sounds like they wanna give the 16 a day or so to catch up to increase chances. Like tag said the 13 isn't being counted as mature.

Momofadane and adidrea sorry to hear the bfn... on to next cycle. We will be here cheering for u.

 

[FutureBabyG]

Sounds like it's going to be a quiet week for testing but next week will be exciting.

 

[tag74]

I am super excited and hopeful for everyone!!

 

[Sunny27]

[tag74]

Thank you!!! It's still sinking in!

Congratz Tag. Can't wait to see ur first u/s and praying for a sticky one.
AFM i started the aspiring last night. Thats the one thing i haven't tried when was doing at home insemination but after 3-4 years of trying we just opted for IUI. We finally have everything ready to order the sperm, we have 5 donors to choose from and i'm letting my DH make the final choice. We are so excited and praying it only takes one try. I sometimes doubt myself but i'm trying to stay positive, it's just hard when all I've ever gotten is bfns. I was planning to test the trigger out but i'm terrified of what those fake bfps might do to my emotions since i've never gotten one. Any suggestions?
