Donor Sperm IUI/IVF- 2012

[raelynn]

WANBMUM - Good luck! I had to have my father take me in for my IVF round since hubby was still waiting on the call at home to see if he had to go in for another TESE that morning. Too funny! My dad left the second hubby got there

 

[WANBMUM]

Thanks gals.
I am still laughing at my father taking me. I guess I truly am part of a 21st century family.

Hopefully this is it for you wan. Be even more funny to think of daddy being there for a baby's conception instead of hubby. Hmmm maybe daddy is the lucky charm all along.

Thanks girls! So I triggered this morning and iui is tomorrow evening! I wonder if it will be 3rd time lucky??!?!!
So you know the way my oh can't come due to work commitments my father has offered to drive me as its 3 hours away. It's a funny one, your father bringing you to be inseminated ???

So pleased IUI is today Great news. I think it's lovely your father is taking you and shows what kind of a man he is

 

[WANBMUM]

Thanks guys. Getting excited.

My hubby thinks my daddy is going to be lucky too.

Ps to make it clear, he won't be coming to the clinic! Now that would be weird!

Yes silverbell, you are so right. My father is a man of little words, this is his way of showing support, minus the vocabulary.

 

[raelynn]

Good luck WANBMUM wishing you the best!! Hopefully this one is lucky for you!

 

[silverbell]

Good luck today, WANB.

rae - when will you be testing? Keeping everything crossed for you.

Hey all, im new to this so please bare with me. DH and i have been TTC for 8 years. Long story short, GP took her time referring us to Fertility specialist. Finally told after all that time that DH has no sperm, he went for TESE with no success We decided to go down the DS route with IUI and injectables. We are currently on our 2nd attempt and i am 10dpiui. I know your not meant to test early but i was so curious to see if the trigger had left my system. So 7dpiui i used a Clearblue Digital test which came back NOT PREGNANT, but i did anyone one today using a different test called First Response and there is a faint line. No idea what that means but i'm hoping it the start of a BFP.

silverbell - I've been testing already because I just couldn't hold out any longer. I've been getting positives on ic since Wednesday. Very excited but we're also super nervous and waiting for the betas since the same thing happened last time but my betas were really low and didn't progress well. I'm hopeful though because the tests already seem to be darker than my darkest was last time around which was 16dpo and I'm only 12dpo today.

 

[WANBMUM]

Omg Raelynn! Exciting! Praying for a sticky for you, when do you get your beta checked? It's a waiting game isn't it.

My IUI went good today, I don't feel as uncomfortable as I usually do after it, i geel great. Now all I have to do is wait....for 2 weeks

 

[deafgal01]

Rae- that's something hopeful to focus on! Every pregnancy is different. I can't wait for the beta to come back showing good numbers.

 

[raelynn]

WANBMUM - So glad your IUI went well! Mine was so easy. Of course, I was coming off of IVF so everything seemed way more relaxed but the actual procedure was a piece of cake. Hubby and I went out to breakfast right after Hopefully that means good news for you too!

I go in for my beta on Monday. The last few days shouldn't be too bad since it is over a weekend. I'm sure it'll be here before we know it. Hubby and I BDed the night before and after the IUI so we're glad that there is also the tiniest chance it could be his. I'm also a little shocked because we didn't expect the first round to work. Our doctor told us normally each IUI has a 20% chance of being successful but since I have PCOS he gave us only a 15% chance per cycle. How crazy!

 

[SunUp]

ER IN THE AM!!!!! Woooo

 

[raelynn]

Good luck SunUp!! Hope you get lots of eggs!

 

[HollyTTC]

Rae - good luck

Sunup - hope your ER goes well

WanB - hope your TWW flies by for you and you get your BFP

Cbird - Welcome. I think you'll find this thread pretty helpful.... I know I sure do. All these ladies are awesome.

Ok I need your thoughts, ideas, opinions, it'll take it all. I'm currently almost 5dpiui and have been having some cramping. I'm using prometrium suppositories (yuck btw) and not sure if that could have anything to do with it or not. Thoughts? I also want to start testing out the trigger but is it too late??

 

[deafgal01]

SunUp- GOOD LUCK

esuzanne- no idea if that'd have any effect on that. I'm sorry I'm not of much help.

I've heard the suppositories can cause cramping and other AF-like symptoms so I wouldn't worry about it. I also had cramps off and on through my 2ww this time and last time and ended up pregnant on both so it could just be your embryo snuggling in. If you're only 5dpiui, you can probably still test out the trigger. If it is negative, it already left your system, positive its probably still the trigger since it would be really early to pick up a bfp at this point.

hey y'all, mind if i hang around?

im not sure i'll be getting my IUI before the end of 2012 as i'm having problems finding a donor. i've been trying for 7 years, and they're not sure if they want to do clomid or iui next. im rooting for iui!

it'll be my first, and i was wondering how painful it is?

Welcome!!

We took a few weeks to choose our donor.... its a tough decision. (Now we've been told we have to pick again )
I didn't find that the IUI hurt at all. A little uncomfortable sometimes, but definitely didn't hurt. The people that do it, do it for a living, so they get pretty good at it. Im on clomid and doing IUI so let me know if I can be of any help
