February IUI - Looking for Cycle Buddies!

[Amelia8083]

Hi Amelia8083,

I wasn't put on any progesterone after my IUI either. I even asked my RE if I should take it and he say no reason being i had enough other smaller follicals that would produce progesterone. Does this sound correct to anyone or has anyone else been told that by their RE??

I did read that somewhere.... About having more follicles, that they each produce more progesterone. I just can't remember where I read it.

Thanks Amelia8083! Fingers crossed!

So IUI may be getting done real soon! Who knows you might be starting your 2ww next week sometime.

Amcolecchi - are you testing today??????

Jazzy - where are you, we miss you!!!

Pnutsprincess- how are you feeling?

Amelia8083 - I have seen plenty of women on the boards that don't use the progesterone after...I think if your levels are fine than you don't really need it, and it creates a big mess, so you are lucky if you dont' need it!! My luteal phase was only 9-10 days and you need more than that for implantation and all so that is why I am on it, but I think my clinic puts most ppl on it just so to make everyone happy...even if they don't really need it!

AFM - showed this morning!! Up all night with horrible cramps so I knew she was coming, but I am glad bc now I can schedule day 3 testing and move onto the next cycle! wooohooo!! Now if I could only get some

I am feeling okay, been feeling crampy. It is only 6 days after IUI

Jazzy - sorry to hear the bad news But I'm glad to see that things in the TTC world are going good for you, sound like you have a lot going on down there, have you been talking to your eggies again so they will grow? LOL

Pnutsprincess - are you taking progesterone? I took it and def felt crampy from it, but if you aren't, maybe you are implanting??!

No Karena, I am not taking progesterone. Tomorrow I go in for blood work to see how high my progesterone level is. I am praying it will be a good number.

Hi Ladies,

Any of you experience sore breasts during the 2ww and the pain comes and goes? Mine were really sore for 4-5 days straight and now starting to not feel as sore, normal?? Maybe my AF is coming

The same thing happened to me but I think it was the progesterone that was causing it...mine were sore more on the side like when I get AF...

 

[Dauphin1760]

Thanks Karena. I got a BFN last night but was still holding out hope since i tested early. This morning i started spotting AF will be full blown tomorrow.

OMG.... a bit frustrated I would say....

So, I went on Monday right, for my U/S. Went smooth.. 4 follies all from 9-14mm which they should be at CD10. They tell me that they want me in on Friday to do an U/S with probably triggering that night and IUI on Sun. Perfect. So I go out of town for my family ER sito. I get a call and the RN tells me that they feel Fri will be too late and for me to come in on Thurs. No biggie, I am accommodating and I change my flight to return. I go in there yesterday with DH... they do my U/S and I only have 1 follie at 17mm!!!! I was like but wait... she goes, well, it looks like you ovulated. Did you have cramping? I was like yes, today.. but I thought it was the meds like it did last cycle. She said, no, it must be that you are still ovulating and this 17 just hasn't dropped yet like the others. She offered to wait until next cycle or do a blind IUI then and there. We were floored. $500 on meds and what?!? We decided to do the blind IUI. My DH was pissed. No privacy. He had to handle himself in this little room (normally at home) and you could hear the nurses freaking chat. The good news is that he went up from 2mil to 5.5mil and increased motility at 45%. So, happy about that.

Here is to my early 2WW!!!! lol. Who knows... life is funny, maybe this will be the one that works right.

 

[Amcolecchi]

Jazzy-Wow!!! That is frustrating!!!! Especially spending so much money, ya know?!!? But the good news is your husband was there with you and his sperm are better than last time!!! And you only need his one!!!! So GOOD LUCK HUNNY!!!! You're right, life is funny so hopefully this is it for you!!!!

I can relate Jazzy! That happened to me my first cycle with injectiables so we cancelled the IUI. I was so mad that we wasted the money on the meds and put my body through that, but keep telling myself it all happens for a reason!

Like AM said, it only takes one and 17mm follie is a good size!! Good luck! Keep us posted!

Yes, super frustrating. The nurse could tell I was P/O. lol. My DH was shocked to say the least. Apparently 40% is normal motility and he had 45%. This was after last month's horrible results. So, have faith.. it can change! Thank you for the positivity. You are taking this month off right?

It pisses me off... I am ok now. But honestly, the Re office should take more care with women that may already ovulate on their own and monitor them more closely. That is their job right? Grrr... lol.

I am thinking positively though about this

 

[karena547]

OMG Jazzy!!! Do they do b/w every time you go in? You would think they would see your LH levels rising and know that you were going to ovulate!! I swear, I see so many people go through these textbook IUI"s and never have issues and I'm like really? But then again, you see people have issues with IUI and those are the ones that sometimes get their BFPs before the ppl with textbook IUIs! Jusst think, those were going in right then and there as you were ovulating so there is a really good chance that good things will happen!! It doesn't give any sperm time to die off before you O so keeping my FX'd for you!!! Xx

AFM - Went in this morning and u/s looked good (no cyst) sooo I start 75iu of Follistim tonight and go back in on Monday morning for b/w and u/s! Ready or not...here I come IUI #2!!! Woopwoop!!

Jazzy - were you on Follistim?? Any s/e?

Hi Karena!! No, they only seem to do B/W at the beginning of the cycle, for the progesterone, and then the pregnancy test. I really think they should have monitored me more closely. I mean, it's not their first rodeo right? lol. I am thinking positively. They recommended us to BD last night and again today. Got one down! hahahaha... I am happy your U/S went well. Very cool!!! Yes, I was on follistim. No S/E with that addition. It was 75mg with 3 shots.

 

[Amcolecchi]

Jazzy-Yes I am taking this month off, I leave soon for work so we didn't want to rush it and we wanted to save some money...but I am FX for you!!!

Karena-awesome!! I know it sucks when we see that BFN but then two days later you get prepared for the next IUI and it takes your mind off the first one!! FX for you too!!!

Thanks, Amcolecchi!!! I think you made a great decision... save that money and some down time from stressing!!!

Karena, positive thoughts girlie!!!!

Jazzy- Oh my goodness!! That's the craziest story I have ever heard.

I freaked out once because they forgot me in the waiting room- all doctors left- and I had a vial of thawed donor sperm in my bra. But I so believe your story tops mine!!
