Clomid to Femara with iui support

[TTC74]

Anyone get unusual PMS symptoms in medicated cycles. My boobs are killing me. I know other women get this PMS symptom but I never do. I know that pregnancy at this point is extremely unlikely. Any thoughts?

Yeah my DH is on clomid and HCP to increase sperm count. It helps unbelievably for him. The increase in estrogen makes their body need to counteract with more Testosterone, and as a result increases sperm count. It worked when conceived our daughter, and again his number got up using it this time around.

I do get PMS symptoms, sore BBs right around 7DPO

I get sore bbs too around 10 dpo

Beta today but I already have AF cramps and a temp plummet.

 

[TTC74]

I would think it was comical if I weren't so irritated. I drove 20 mins to RE's office for a beta test only to be told "we only do them after a positive hpt or when AF is a week late." HELLO?! You couldn't have told me that when you scheduled the appt so that I could've just called in?! It's not like I'm already irritated from the procedure not working and irritable due to PMS!

 

[momwannabe81]

I'm sorry
I'm omw to do our IUI

TTC74, my chart was very similar to yours the cycle before we got our bfp. I had the implantation dip and the triphasic chart. Maybe this is you body gearing up for your bfp.

Momwannabe81 sending loads of your way.

TTC74, I am really really sorry. Sorry I'm just logging in- I had an engagement last night.

I remember with this recent BFP hating my chart because it was so good. It's almost like just when you're about to give up...it happens.

I'm praying for you all with everything I have...the journey to a BFP is so frustrating and I don't take it for granted.

 

[momwannabe81]

16.8 million was the count now the Tww starts

 

[momofadane]

TTC- thats a bit ridiculous the failed to tell you that!
Momwannabe - So exited for you FX!!!!!
AFM- BFN today, I am only 8dpiui, at least I know the trigger is out.

 

[tag74]

YAY!!! That's awesome!

 

[mkwalsh]

Momwannabe81 - yay! Sounds like we're cycle buddies this time around. Let's hope we become bump buddies in two weeks too! Are you doing any early testing? I'm already urging to POAS and I'm just 1dpo!

Hopefully we do. I'm pretty sure I'll poas soon. I wanna test the trigger out so I don't second guess myself. They said they were looking for at least 5mil sperm count so they said it was very good. It was cool seeing the iui being done and actually seeing the sperm injected. But they didn't do bw to check my progesterone so idk if I Oed yet or if it's happening today. Soon after I started getting mild sharp pains on my left side where I think was the bigger follicle and the second biggest so fx

 

[mkwalsh]

You get to see the IUI being done?? That is so cool! I can't see anything beyond the sheet and my knees I got a lot of sharp pains from both sides and so far as I know they were really only counting on the one on my right side. I guess we'll just see how it plays out. I think I'll start testing out the trigger at 5dpo.

 

[momwannabe81]

They have a tv on the wall connected to the u/s machine and she was showing me my uterus and catheter and when the sperm went in. I'm probably going to start testing around that time too. They said July 8th is when I should expect af if it doesn't work.

 

[mkwalsh]

I really wish my clinic would do an ultrasound before or during the IUI but they don't. It would certainly put my mind at ease as to the location of the follies and how many may have released. Right now for all I know there was a great ripening and all seven were a go lol.

Keep us all updated on those tests though!

 

[tag74]

I think you need to ask. They were going to do Clomid and IUI with me, without and ultrasound. I did some research and asked for the Ultrasound on day 10. I didn't want to do IUI if there were multiple follies. I had one mature one...I did miss the IUI but it put my mind at ease.

 

[momwannabe81]

I asked them if they could check if i had O or not and they said they would have to do an internal scan using lube and that they didnt want to do that and kill the spermy plus they explained that u create something like a cyst when u O so they wouldnt know if it was a follicle or the cyst, but i had pains later this evening so I know i Oed today. I would ask them to do scans, they told me my insurance would pay for those so might as well try but hopefully we get out bfp this month

 

[FutureBabyG]

Congrats on the IUI's and sperm count ladies. Can't wait to see some double lines. I know it sucks seeing the trigger fade and then the bfn.. but just remember the line may come back! And you be excited to see it come back. I know I had a breakdown my last cycle when I saw the negative.

 

[momwannabe81]

I'm hoping that it does come back...buy I have a question for u ladies. Somehow someone at work knows about the IUI and she's already asked me twice in 3 days how I was feeling about it ect... I've only told close friends that I know won't ask every 2 seconds but I feel she will ask me over and over and idk how to tell her to not ask about it nicely. She not my favorite person so I wanna tell her without sounding like a bitch. I'm already going to go nutso in the Tww and I don't need someone obsessing over it for me. The trigger is still in me so I know I could snap as she already is one of those I want to say what I really think of her but I'm better then that but now this?
