IUI Buddies

[Hope16]

Hi Katie! Welcome!

If I could offer any advice about your trigger shot, is to let it get to room temperature before administering it. Otherwise it will burn a bit. It sounds like your follies are on the right track. I was told that once they hit that 12mm mark, they should grow 2mm per day. I'm sure at your next visit you will see them bigger. Fingers crossed for you!

 

[KatieSweet]

Thanks Hope!
That's good to know about follie size! It's all very new to me. In hindsight, at the clinic they weren't too concerned about follie sizes, rather that I had 6 and no real dominant follies yet. They don't want to see too many of them grow too fast. We'll have to see what my follies do tomorrow!
And good advice about the trigger shot, will take it to heart

 

[KatieSweet]

All systems go! Triggering tomorrow late evening, IUI Sunday afternoon! Super excited.
Lining at 7.4 this morning. I have 2 dominant follies now, one on each ovary, measuring 16mm. And I have another possible that's 11.5mm, so the clinic was a bit hesitant as that could mean I'd have 3 mature follies (meaning a wee chance of triplets on top of the admittedly pretty increased risk of twins if IUI succeeds), but we're OK with all of that.

@Katie welcome and sorry for you loss, wishing you the best of luck on your iui. at my clinic they don't consider follies mature until 17mm, the smaller ones when you trigger wont release ( not to burst your bubble or anything) but I asked my RE and that's what I was told and according to my scan day of iui she was right, but hope all goes well.

I decided I will probably start testing today since its 14 days post trigger and 12 or 13dpo and still have barely any symptoms hmm.

@Iloveme29 - Thank you! I see you had a MC too a few months back, I'm sorry.
My follies grew 3mm since yesterday so I feel positive about their growth. I'm triggering right before midnight tomorrow, so in between this morning and tomorrow evening, another 36hrs will have passed They'll be mature enough, or my clinic wouldn't have told me to trigger tomorrow.
No bubble burst! I feel really good about the 2 dominant ones. I'm personally not counting on the little 3rd one to do anything, my clinic is just being super careful. I know - and am relieved; my cycle would have been canceled otherwise - the other smaller ones measuring between 8 and 11 are definitely not in play.

Wishing you tons and tons of luck today testing. FX for a rainbow BFP!

Good luck Katie! Definitely take the trigger shot out of the fridge at least 30-60 mins before injecting it, as you want it back to room temperature when it's time. The first time I took ovidrel actually, my pharmacist told me I didn't need to refrigerate it as I was using it within 24 hours, so it can definitely come out of the fridge early enough to get it warmer a little bit
Good luck today iLoveme! No symptoms can be a good sign! If bfn, you could still be too early though. When did your re say to test by? Are you taking progesterone supplements?

 

[ILoveme29]

@amanda I'm not due to test until Saturday, that's when AF is due and yes I'm on progesterone and still not much signs so odd this month but we will see I'm being hopeful

 

[amanda1235]

That's good! Being hopeful is probably the best thing you can be right now fx for ya!

 

[Hope16]

my friend on here (1nce) didn't have any signs at all...she was almost certain she was out this month and she got her BFP!! So don't read into it too much!

 

[ILoveme29]

Ok ladies I'm confused I got a fair positive on the blue dye but nothing on the other

 

[ILoveme29]

You can see it better when it's up to the light

 

[amanda1235]

I can definitely see something! Very faint though, how many dpo are you?

 

[ILoveme29]

@amanda 14dpo I took another and the same faint line appears. I will just wait it out hope the witch stays away

 

[amanda1235]

Do you have a pink dye or digital test? Fx for ya!!

 

[TTC_Monsie]

ILove I really hope that bfp starts getting darker and darker and that it is a bfp! Keep us updated please! I'm thinking about u and holding my thumbs! Goodluck to all the other ladies out there!

 

[ILoveme29]

Welp AF came right before I was going to get a pink first response, this sucks , I think I will be skipping a month due to a small cyst. It's just funny my RE won't cancel my iui's even with my cyst

 

[amanda1235]

Oh no! Man that sucks. I'm so sorry! Huge hugs to ya! Go enjoy a glass of wine, and take care of yourself!
Xoxo

 

[KatieSweet]

@ILove - I'm sorry AF showed up Had my FX for you.. I agree with Amanda, treat yourself to some wine or something else you enjoy, and take care.

AFM, I had my first IUI this afternoon! All things considered (first speculum Dr used was quite painful), I think it went very well, it was a good experience. DH's numbers were 42 million and 54% motility. I googled around here and there and I'd say those numbers are good?
Hope those of you who celebrate Christmas had a lovely couple of days! xx

 

[TTC_Monsie]

ILove I am so sorry to hear the news. So far the the ovulation test shows no sign of ovulation so iui here I come. Goodluck and take care of urself.

 

[amanda1235]

Katie, I have NO clue about numbers, as my hubby has azoospermia, so anything looks better than that! I'm sure if you looked and it seems good then it probably is! Any idea how many follies you had? Good luck and fx for ya!

TTC: when will you be scheduled for IUI?
