Clomid to Femara with iui support

[mkwalsh]

It's crazy what we'll put our brains through to hold out hope. I've had an on and off bloody nose all day and the only time I get bloody noses is in the winter and when I'm pregnant. Well it's July... Ugh. DH and I also had a talk about making this our last IUI cycle and then maybe saving up to do IVF next year. Our RE is pretty adamant that's the only way we'll conceive thanks to my left tube. We just hoped since they were wrong once that they'd be wrong once more. So this is it for us for a while! Kinda scary but I'm also a little relieved. The pressure and stress was really starting to get to me in my daily life.

Well hopefully this will be the month u get ur bfp, and who knows if it doesnt u might just get it naturally while saving for the IVF, dh was saying that if it works then when we get our tax $$ we can try again for #2 lol. I'm really hoping it works, I've actually been poasing 2 times a day, I got 25 ic so might as well I've ate alot today and had blood in my nose again, I've actually had af symptoms (back ache legs aching and twitches and bb stinging today) but usually i only feel them 2 days b4 af is due so hopefully it's a good sign. I've also used my walmart saving catcher to good use and got a 3 pack of First response. Will try them tomorrow morning, being the 4th i'm hoping it brings us good luck and we are also going to visit family tomorrow and would be nice to announce them our BFP. I've decided to tell dh by taking a selfie with him and then adding the caption "baby due march 2016" and show him I've also been having strange dreams but with no babies in it

I sometimes wish we could try naturally at all, but DH has too few swimmers. Like literally a dozen on a good day, it's why we have had to use a donor to conceive in the past. The time off will allow me to get into better physical shape and health before an IVF though. I've just been doing moderate physical activities on top of eating mostly healthy. Now I can go crazy on it. If this cycle doesn't work of course. I still am really hoping it does! I was hoping that I would send DD in with a shirt saying "big sister" on it to wake DH up on the morning of the BFP and then ask him how he likes the shirt if he doesn't see it right away. It's reminiscent of our first BFP where I woke him up shouting and crying in happiness all while waving the stick at him. Regardless to how my journey plays out, I hope you ladies won't mind me stalking you and commenting. I can't wait to see everyone else's announcements!

i think we did it, actually i know we did it. I don't think u can see it in the pic but there are 2 vvvv faint lines on both frers (took one apart) the whole surprising dh went down the toilet when i yelled to ask him if he saw it, which he did but reaction wasn't as i thought but it still hasn't sinked in, i keep looking at them thinking i'm tripping

 

[mkwalsh]

Congrats! That's awesome!! So glad it worked for you guys so quickly. Enjoy every moment and keep us posted on how it all goes! Stick bean, stick!

 

[momwannabe81]

Did you do you selfish with the message?

Hi ladies

I know its been a while since I posted but thought id pop in see how you all doing and update you.

I think I mentioned that May cycle was ...

But I'm on June Cycle now and on CD 14 so I'm around ovulation time! This is my third cycle with follicle tracking and trigger shots and if we don't get our this time then we have to take one month break before seeing the Gynae Consultant in August

So I went for my scan CD 12 this time and my lining was 7mm (they like it to be 7mm or more) And had three follicles maturing!! One on my left ovary 20mm and two on my right which were 15 and 16mm. So had my HCG shot early on CD 12 instead of CD 13 which is when I normally had it. So I'm thinking ovulation might of been a day earlier then usual

Anyway I think my ;sex: timing is still good. We have done so far.. CD 6,8,9,10,12,13 and twice today morning and afternoon on CD 14.

Momwannabe- where's those lines? Your killing me! Tomorrow?

Hi Sarah, welcome back.

Tag any updates?

 

[tag74]

I am still in limbo. I had a rescan today. My HCG went up from 5600 to 7900 in 4 days. My sac grew 3 mm in 4 days. My D&C is booked for Thursday but I did book a second opinion for Wednesday with a completely different practice and hospital. There was a white cloudiness within my sac today which wasn't there 4 days ago. I just need to confirm it isn't "debris" like they are indicating. I just need that peach of mind. I hate being in limbo but by Friday I should be in a better place. Thanks for asking.

 

[momwannabe81]

tag my fingers are crossed that its still a bfp
afm af showed her face today, i'm devastated

 

[tag74]

I'm so very sorry! Please hang in there. I know the disappointment is super great.

 

[FutureBabyG]

Tag- I am glad you are strong and are getting a second opinion. I hope this bean is just stubborn and will be a miracle baby. It's nice your doctor is giving you your time to make decision and go at your pace so that you know later everything was well thought out and not rushed.

Momwannabe- I am so sorry to hear about af.

 

[momwannabe81]

ty everyone, I'm going at it again this month starting clomid tomorrow with scan the 17th

 

[momofadane]

momwannabe - wow so happy for you!!!!! FX for a happy and healthy pregnancy.
Tag - I am so sorry with what you are going through, you will definitely be in my thoughts

AFM- I had to take a little mental break from all of this pregnancy stuff. We are holding off on IUIs for a while, at least until I get my thyroid back in check. It has just been such an emotional (and expensive) rollercoaster. I needed a little break. Today I am on CD8. However, until my thyroid is figured out I am not able to conceive. Still trying naturally though, keeping a little hope.

 

[adidrea]

Tag- I'm sorry to hear about your scan I can't even imagine what you're going through, but I hope that it all works out in the end!! You did what I probably would have done as well. Sending you lots of prayers for future scans!!

Momwannabe - Sorry to hear that AF came...that must be so devastating after you thought you saw lines. Keep trying!!

Momofadane - I hope you're able to get your thyroid in check soon and pregnant super fast after that!! Now you know what the problem was, so when it's all taken care of you will get your BFP for sure!


I'm basically still waiting for AF to come. I'm doing very well about not testing...since we took a month off from the treatments and IUI and everything it seems like it's easier to not test spontaneously (I guess I don't have very high hopes that it's positive ). No symptoms or anything so I'm 99.9% sure she's coming any day now!

Our round of Femara only resulted in one good sized follicle. We're thinking about moving on to injectables next, has anyone done these? What was your experience like? I'm a little lost about what to try next...

 

[FutureBabyG]

Adidrea- I did injectables back in March and here I am 4 months prego. I was on bravelle and menopur with novarel for a trigger. I had great results with count quality and lining. I had a early miscarriage from a natural cycle and an ectopic from femara. I don't remember your history. We used ivfgreenlight which is a fertility medication discount program. It's really easy to do and we got over $400 back. I think it was well worth the extra money and not jumping to ivf.
