Fall IUI support

[MKaykes]

Congrats Mhankins! That's great news!

Dani, I had one polyp discovered this summer on a saline infused sonogram, and my doctor wanted to remove it. Surgery was pretty simple for that part (I also had a laparoscopy done). I don't think they would go away on their own, and they may or may not cause issues getting or staying pregnant. Good luck, sorry you have to wait it out now, but hopefully will all be with it in the end!

 

[Mrs.Stinski]

I just got my IUI yesterday. I got a trigger shot 26 hours before the IUI. But I still don't think I have ovulated. Still have the sharp pain in the side of my follicles . I had 3 good follicles and the dr counselled me about the possibility of multiples. He said that is there is triplets they will remove one!!

Oh wow, did he say a reason for that???

 

[Mrs.Stinski]

Hey everyone!

Mrs. Stinski glad you are safe! I had a lot of family in the path of Mattew. Good luck at your apt today and with the injections! It can be scary and exciting lol. FX for you!

Dani- I'm sorry they are throwing you for a loop. I don't have any personal experience with polyps so unfortunately I can help you there. If it is a concern of theirs I guess it would be best to make sure its nothing or get the taken care of. As much as it sucks being told you have to wait, at least you won't potentially be wasting money and emotions, and not sure if it would affect your health but that too.

AFM- I took my test yesterday and had a BFP! I couldn't believe it! I was thinking maybe its the trigger shot still, or I read the test I had people were getting positives by putting them in water so I was all over the place. It was the first response curved handle. Hubby made me take another and it was positive and then I told him about the water so we took are last one and put it under water and there was no line at all. We still went and got a clearblue digital and that one came up pregnant! Went to the Drs for blood work and got the call that I am definitely pregnant and my numbers looked good. My hcg was 300. I know most people go back in 48 hrs to see if it doubled but they aren't having me do that and I go back in next friday to see the dr, more blood work and an ultrasound. I think its slowly sinking in but after so long TTC the shock is still there. I did have a little spotting today but the nurse told me that was okay but I didn't like seeing it!

I hope you all join me soon!! And keep me updated! I still have everything crossed for you all!

Congrats!!!! I'm so excited for you!!! I love seeing positive stories about IUI, makes those of us just starting see that it does work

 

[Mhankins]

Mrs. Stinkski, Thank you and I know what you mean. We also used donor sperm and had that factor too but it all went well. I still can't believe it! It took 4 iuis but we got it! Now I'm just worried about everything I feel lol, Friday can't come soon enough!

 

[Mrs.Stinski]

I can understand that!! Keep us updated on your progress and how things go!!

Congratulations! I am so happy and excited for you. It looks like these polyps will delay me ... hopefully I can join you in the next couple months though.

 

[Mrs.Stinski]

Got my first injection tonight!! So excited!!

How's everyone doing? What cd is everyone on? I'm on cd3

Where do you do your fsh injections? I'm hoping I did it in the right spot ��

 

[Mhankins]

Im sorry Dani, I am sure that is very disappointing! Hopefully getting rid of them will help you get your BFP!

Mrs. Stinski did the shot hurt? I didn't do injectiables but the pregnyl trigger shot burned going in and then was bruised a few days. I don't know if they go in the same place but they had me do the trigger shot around/below my belly button

 

[Mrs.Stinski]

No, I didn't feel it at all actually. I guess I had psyched myself up for it, but didn't feel a thing. I did it 2in to the right and 2 inches up from my belly button. I usually get my trigger shot in my hip.

 

[Mhankins]

Glad you couldn't feel it! Hope they are all like that! How many do you have to do?

When I did my trigger shot 2 years ago on our last try before this one I didn't feel anything, so I was expecting the same this time. I was giving it and was like hey this kinda hurts lol. 1st one was orvidrel (spelling?) and this time it was pregnyl so maybe that's the difference.

I leave for a few days and mhankins is preggo?! Way to go!! Congrats lady!

As for everyone else, we've got this! Let's keep the BFP train going. I got a BFN yesterday at 15dpo so I'm counting myself officially out. We're taking a month off for insurance purposes and getting back in the wagon at the end of November for that cycle.

Good luck to the ladies doing cycles now though!

 

[Mhankins]

Thank you MKWalsh and I'm so sorry about your BFN fx for November!

 

[Mrs.Stinski]

I did 100mg yesterday and today and will do 75mg tomorrow then go back to the dr Tuesday morning for another scan and more bloodwork then he will tell me my dosage for the next few days. They said it can be anywhere from 10 to 14 days of shots, just depends how you're body reacts.

I will be doing pregnyl fir my trigger, that's what I normally use and it does sting!! I'm sore for a couple days from it.

How long after your surgery were you able to start trying again? I've read that they make you wait 3 months before doing IUI or IVF...

 

[MKaykes]

Dani - my doctor said we could try right away. I had the procedure about a week before O and he was ready to do IUI the following cycle (which is this cycle) if we wanted. We opted to not really count last cycle since I was still possibly healing, but really no restrictions to trying naturally or IUI...but from other stories I've seen that seems unusual.

Congrats MHankins have a H&H 9months

Got my trigger shot this morning, will be doing iui tomorrow am. So I will be testing 14 days post trigger on Nov.8th. had one nice size follie about 23mm. I am going to take baby aspirin this cycle due to my clotting disorder in hopes it helps

 

[TTCfirstovr30]

Good Morning!
I am new to this thread and site and looking for some support and it seems like we are all in the same boat!

I am in my second cycle, I finished 5x days of Clomid on Sunday did the OPK and got a smiley face this morning DTD last night and plan to everyday until we go in for IUI on Friday/Saturday dependent on what doc says.

I am in my 30's, have PCOS and don't ovulate on my own and preparing myself for what may come.

Anyone else doing IUI/IVF this week?

 

[Mhankins]

Thanks Iloveme! Good luck tomorrow and during your tww! FX!

Hello TTC! These ladies are great for support! Good luck to you and FX!!

 

[Imogenmommy]

Hi all,

Iloveme and I are almost on same cycle. This is my first IUI round, got trigger this morning and IUI tomorrow. Had two follicles at 17mm on Monday so they delayed the the trigger one more day to let them grow a bit more. I hope this works. This will also be the first time we have semen analysis done. I'm 39 only pregnant once and MC so I'm really hopefully this works, but if not I'm off directly to IVF.
