Fall IUI support

[MKaykes]

Good luck with the IUI tomorrow Imogen and Iloveme! I'm pretty sure I O'd today, this is our last cycle on our own before IUI, but we'll be testing about the same time in a couple weeks!

I was happy to find out that my insurance will cover everything but the IUI and sperm washing with my current doctor, so we'll just pay out of pocket for that and get the insurance coverage for the rest. I am really glad to not have to make the decision to switch doctors at this point.

I was hesitant to start thinking of doing IUI, but now, this TTC is becoming such a chore, I'm ready to jump in and do it to hopefully get a + result!

am i allowed to jump in? I didnt do IUI but we did do FE and Ovidrel. So I can kind of relate on that area! ( and i feel kind of lost to be honest!).

Im 1dpo/3dpt.

Thinking of you Imogenmommy, baby dust today!! I am also in my 30's and TTC #1, feeling like I am so late to the whole process.

What dpo or O are you in your cycle to get IUI? I am worried that I am going to miss my IUI window as I have been +OPK the past two days. And my Doc appt is Friday.

Well they forced my ovulation with Clomid, FSH injections, yesterday got the trigger, and today is cycle day 14 for IUI. I tested my o ulation this morning and it said peak so I'm assuming trigger worked. On my own I don't usually ovulate until day 20.

@Imogenmommy how did the iui go? glad im finally in the TWW. fx for us hope we both get our bfp!

 

[ILoveme29]

@Mkayes Good luck this cycle. I know what you mean about being a chore (sorry TMI coming) its sad when DH gets use to ejaculating in a cup every month just for iui lol its so normal now.

Congrats on your BFP Mhankins! Sorry to those with BFN's, we'll get 'em next time! And good luck to those waiting for their results!

Afm, I got AF today, which I'm trying not to be upset about since we weren't really trying in October, but we all know how hard it is to keep those expectations low! I'm currently waiting for my RE to call back and see where we go from here. I'm thinking we may have some issues since some of our mandatory bloodwork results haven't come in yet, and I'm not sure if they can legally start me on an IUI cycle without all that info. I guess I'll find out soon, and if it's not this month it'll be January or February! Serenity now!

I'm waiting the clinic as we speak. The sample processing is taking forever!

Positive Vibes your way Imogenmommy. Are you doing 1 IUI or 2 IUI this cycle?

Just 1 this cycle. So the good news is his speech count and motility were excellent so we know now that isn't an issue. Baby dust all around!

 

[NannySarah]

FX for you Imogen!

Found out that all our test results did come in on time, and we are going ahead with iui this cycle! I instantly became nervous as soon as I found out that we're good to go, I think because I had spent so much mental energy preparing for the worst! Picked up my Femara to start on Friday (CD3) and my first ultrasound will be next Friday (CD10)! Anyone else feel weirdly excited-scared (scare-cited?) once they actually started an iui cycle, as opposed to just talking about it?

 

[Mhankins]

Thats great news NannySarah! Fingers crossed for all of you!!

Not going to lie, I have been trying to avoid this site because I am reading a lot of upsetting stories on here and I am trying not to worry myself. Hopefully everything is moving a long well and where things should be Friday! I just wanted to pop in and check on you ladies and let you know Im still thinking about you all!

Have any of you had a slow rise ( in BBT) after your trigger? I read on Google ( because im lost on all this like i said) that it can but when i tried searching on FF, i didnt find much.

Normally I have the "typical" .4o jump up after O ( no trigger cycle) but this cycle it was .13o. Then rose today .17o. Im 3pt/2dpo.

 

[ILoveme29]

Sorry Nanny that AF showed at lest you get to jump start into your next cycle. good luck to you!

so 1dpiui, did my iui 28 hours after trigger. Im starting baby aspirin tonight. im praying this month is it. im not even gonna test early I promise this time lol

So my trigger was Tuesday and my IUI was yesterday about 28 hours after and my temp has not increased yet. I'm thinking maybe I'm still in the ovulation window and it drops after ovulation maybe? After the trigger it dropped a little, only by .1 degree F but today it's back to my normal preovulation baseline. Does not seeing an increase mean it didn't work?

 

[TTCfirstovr30]

Hi Ladies - I go in for an ultrasound tomorrow AM to see if i am ready to ovulate. I will be -5 days from taking my last clomid pill and expect to O this weekend and have IUI.

Are there any questions you wish you knew to ask the RE your first time getting IUI? Or anything special I should do before first time IUI?

I just don't want to forget anything while I have the appointment, my RE assumes I know everything and often tells me things after I am supposed to do them.

Thank you!

 

[ILoveme29]

@TTCfirst questions I always ask, how many follicles, how thick is my lining, if you need to take progesterone supplements. usually they will explain step by step to you what the plans are for the cycle. good luck

It turns out that I am going ahead with my 2nd donor IUI cycle this month. I am on CD9 today and going in for CD10 ultrasound and bloodwork tomorrow. I had a sonohystergram on Tuesday and was told that the biggest one that was 1.4 cm 3 months ago is now less than a cm and all 3 polyps are significantly smaller than before. I think if I don't end up pregnant again this time I will probably take a break and get the polyps removed as everything else with me has come back normal . Hoping DIUI # 2 will be successful. This time around I took Femera CD3-7. Last time CD10 folicle was 15mm... will let you know what I find out tomorrow.

I looked around online and everything I read said the trigger will mess with your temps and not to trust temps after the trigger shot. I found this on multiple other forums so I don't think we are unusual.
