February IUI - Looking for Cycle Buddies!

[Amcolecchi]

Yayy! One is definitely better than none and just think you only need one sperm out of the billion to work!!! FX for you!!!! Are you still BD'ing too?

Sooo my appt didn't go as planned They said I have a ton of eggs growing and that my ovaries are VERY busy, but that they one want one maybe two eggs or else they will cancel this cycle. So since two of the eggs are slightly, and I mean slightly larger than the rest they gave me menopur injections to do at home, they will call later with more information and let me know how much of the meds I should inject and when my next monitoring appt is. They said by taking this injection it should stop the other eggs from maturing and tell just the 1 or 2 eggs that are a little more mature to keep growing - so we will see, ugh, I am so impatient and wasn't expecting to add extra meds onto this cycle!

 

[Amcolecchi]

So Karena, are they afraid that too many eggs will come and you can possibly get multiple pregnancies?

Exactly, they said that if I don't have meds that they will all grow at about the same rate and I would have several eggs by the time I am ready to trigger - and then they would cancel...so instead they are trying to just get the 2 that are slightly bigger to mature more while the rest don't mature enough to drop.

Very true... crossing fingers! And yes... tee hee... we are! Actually recommended to BD last night and then wait until the IUI Sat morning.

 

[Amcolecchi]

Ugh that makes me mad and sad. Like I get why they want to limit it, so it's not another case of octomom...but in the same time it sucks for women who have been trying forever! Well I pray and FX that only 2 mature!

Oh snap! Ok ok, BUT you are NOT out this cycle. Remind yourself of that!! It is just more meds. Which sucks, I know... but it means that the doc values each and every cycle and wants to do his/her best to get you PG. That is wonderful thing, girlie!!! Keep your spirits up. This cycle isn't over darn it!!!

I definitely keep repeating to myself, it isn't over yet, it isn't over yet. And one of my close friends just told me, keeping thinking to yourself, 2 of you grow strong and the rest of you stop growing lol I just feel like it makes me one step closer to possibly having to throw out this cycle but I am really hoping and praying that doesn't happen. Hubby is leaving on a business trip next Wednesday so we need to get these 2 eggs growing so we can do the IUI before he goes! In perfect world where my body cooperates lol I would go back on Saturday, things would look good and I would trigger Saturday night for IUI on Monday. I will hear from my nurse this afternoon after they review my blood work to see if I go in Saturday or Sunday...the sooner the better!!! Thanks ladies for listening to me go on about this and for the encouragement, every bit of it helps me!!!

 

[JazzyFresh]

I love the mantra : 2 of you grow strong and the rest of you stop growing. Keep saying it!!! lol.

It is crazy how long these cycles get with these medicines. I mean, I think I usually would ovulate on my 14th day. Now they are pushing it to 16 and with you... it could be like CD 17-19 right?

I hope and pray your blood work comes out positive for you guys. Let us know... we will be thinking about you!!!

 

[Amcolecchi]

Yes I will hope and pray everything goes well and you guys can do the IUI before the hubby leaves!! Let us know!!! FX

By the way has anyone taken time to look at all the smiles haha they are hilarious!

Like when would you ever need to use those? Hhahahaa

 

[karena547]

Well, the nurse called, she said after reviewing my results they want me to do injections for 3 nights instead of two nights which means I go back for monitoring on Sunday...really cutting it close to hubby's trip now! As if this wasn't stressful enough...ahhh well, what can I do, right!?

@jazzy - you are triggering tonight right?!? Can't wait to hear how it goes! I will be doing my first injection...since hubby isn't here I have my girlfriend coming over to help!! Too funny about your hubby helping, I think these meds make all of us moody/crazy at one point or another. And yes, I think for me it will be between the 17-19 depending on how I react to these meds. That is actually okay for me because I usually have really, really, really long cycles lol last cycle I ovulated on CD46, the one before that it was CD34, so I def needed the meds to help me out!!

They are cute...you never know when you might use them!!! hahaha

 

[Amcolecchi]

Karena, I know it will be cutting it close but it still could work! Are you guys bd'ing too? That should help!!! Still hoping and praying for you!!!

 

[JazzyFresh]

Karena, just remind yourself where you would be WITHOUT these medications. My hubs makes me think about that all the time. Like probably barren... I mean, it happens. Adoption is always there. But at least with these meds, we have a shot at our dream of motherhood. So, think positively and have your friend shoot you up!!! lol.

Well...we were, but he is traveling this week too..he'll be home Friday evening so we will BD then. But they told us not to for 3 days so that they have the most/best quality "guys" (had to use that one lol!! haha) to use for the IUI...so we really only have Friday to BD if we end up doing the IUI Tuesday.

 

[JazzyFresh]

Yup... triggering tonight at 10pm..... ooooooh boy! Come on little eggie you can do it!!! hahahaha....
