Hi Everyone!
I searched and searched and couldn't find a thread dedicated to those on an injectable cycle but who are using IUI or timed intercourse and not doing IVF so I thought I'd start one. If there's already a thread out there somewhere please let me know and I apologize for the double post.
I thought it would be helpful to chat with others going through the same thing. Most of the threads I found were for those doing IVF and I know the desired outcome is a bit different when egg retrieval is taking place.
This is my very first cycle of injectables. I had 3 previous rounds of Clomid which I responded well too (except it took away most of my cervical mucus), but alas no BFP.
I began 75IU Follistim injections on July 4 (cd 3). Regular ultrasounds have confirmed that I am responding well and as of today (cd 12) have 3 or 4 good sized follies, a nice thick uterine lining (complete with cervical mucus stripe!) and am set to trigger with Ovidrel tomorrow evening. DH and I will be having timed intercourse 24 and 36 hours after the trigger shot (and probably a day on either side of that as well).
A little background on me. DH and I have been trying since August 2008 and had 2 early miscarriages (Dec 2008, Aug 2009) but just can't seem to get a BFP again in nearly a year. Have taken up yoga, acupuncture, and traditional chinese medicine. Was diagnosed with a uterine septum which was removed in January, so just waiting for a little bean to move into the comfy new home I've built for it![Smile :) :)](/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
Would love to hear from others with similar experiences.
Best of luck and lots of baby dust and sticky glue![flower :flower: :flower:](/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/flower.gif)
