..~:: IUI & Clomid ::~.. anyone?

[Lucinda7981]

Missy, dh and I have decided to go for IVF as well. We just don't want to waste any more time with IUIs knowing that our chances
aren't very good.
We have an appointment on the 16th where I believe they'll do an antral follicle count and then we'll discuss the results of my bw and u/s.
If they give us the green light for IVF then we'll go for it right away. So, I really can't wait for the 16th. I just want to move on so badly. :-/

Wooooooohooooo for moving forward. So I go in tom for cd4 monitoring and then they'll have me back to confirm ovulation and then once they confirm it I will start the progesterone suppositories and estrodiol ...basically frozen egg transfer will be 5 days after ovulation.

Missy Goodluck with moving forward with ivf.....I just became tired of doing IUI's with such low success rates....at least now I know I have a real shot....now onto my BFP. I will keep u guys updated

I feel like we're all on the same trajectory and have a good feeling for all of us!
It really feels like we are all moving forward now

Tonight I start 2 weeks of birth control before they start the monitoring and injections and stuff. So we booked a last minute vacation cruise before going through everything. Sunday-Sunday and I can't wait!!

Missy that sounds like a fabulous idea!!!! I also did 2 wks of bc.

Yay!! That's so exciting!!! How many embryos are they going to implant? All three of them?

That's fantastic! Yes, it's great that we're all moving forward now!
Enjoy your vacation and keep us updated about all the monitoring and meds!!

Oculi,
When they retrieved my 3 eggs one was immature and it trailed behind by 1 day....then on day 4 it stopped growing. So I just have 2 frozen embies and it will be a single transfer.

Hey ladies, I started by reading this thread from the beginning , I hope you don't mind me joining in. I go Tuesday for my consult with the re after all our tests. I'm 30 yo my amh is 1.0 my husband has low testosterone but his swimmers seem ok, my hsg came back good, I think they are going to try clomid with an iui this month

 

[Oculi83]

Lucinda,
Oh ok, I see. Let us know when they're going to transfer the embies!

Hi Cjohnson, welcome!
Best of luck for your IUI!!
As far as I know, your AMH is ok and since your dh has good swimmers you stand a good chance.
What cd will you start the clomid?

 

[Cjohnson13]

I'm not sure yet, I go to the re tomorrow @ 11

 

[Cjohnson13]

Lol my husband caught be blogging the first time and was like your telling strangers out business? I said they are women in the same exact position as us....settle down lol

Well, keep us updated on your IUI protocol.

Haha.. my hubby's like that, too! He was like: why are you sharing all this stuff with strangers?? lol! I think they just don't quite understand what an emotional rollercoaster all this is for us and that it helps us to share our story with other women who are in the same position as us.
I'm especially grateful for having you ladies as I did not tell anyone that we're trying to conceive and that we're having troubles with it simply because I don't want to feel that 'performance pressure'. So, whenever someone asks me when it's our turn to have a baby I'll just say something like: We'll see.. maybe next year or so.

 

[Cjohnson13]

So it looks like I go in for a base line scan after my ad arrives, I take clomid 50 mg day 5-9 then go in for a 10 day scan , they said it could be daily until the follies are mature, then ovidril triggershot with iui the following day and another iui the day after then progesterone suppositories until 2 ww bloodtest. Does this sound normal?im excited, although you don't hear about to many first iui's working

 

[Oculi83]

Yes, it sounds normal.
Good luck! I hope it works for you on the first try. I'll cross my fingers for you.

Missy and Lucinda, how are things with you ladies?

AFM I just got back from my appt with the specialist. He told me that*everything's perfectly fine with me and that he can tell from my blood test results that I ovulate on my own. So, he asked if we wanted to try another IUI but my dh immediately said no and that we want to go straight for IVF. So, next Monday we have to go down for a counselling session and sign all the forms and stuff. And when AF shows I have to call the clinic and start with the meds.

 

[missy545]

Hi everyone!

CJohnson, nice to have you join. Your story sounds fairly similar to mine. And I started with clomid 50mg, but I took it cd3-7, and went for a scan on cd12. Good luck! I have heard of some first iui's working, so who knows!

I'm just back from a much needed week away and tomorrow morning I go back for my 2 week check after starting birth control. I believe if everything comes back status quo I start the injectables and get started growing some eggs Not looking forward to all the needles, but I'm feeling good about starting IVF for real.

It's funny Oculi, my dh also immediately said he wanted to start ivf instead of trying iui again. Sounds like you'll be just a few weeks behind me.

I love having you ladies to talk to as well. My husband had the same reactions when he noticed me on the message boards. But it was nice when he understood that its just easier to have someone going through exactly what you are to talk to. I actually have 2 good friends with fertility issues, but both are just so different. So even though I actually feel comfortable talking to them about it, they still just dont understand.

Hello,
I kinda had a mini meltdown when i went to the clinic on mon and they stated that i ovulated prematurely(had smiley face on digital ovulation test on sat am); meaning they had me come in too late and missed my ovulation and canceled my frozen transfer. I am beyond pissed and returned to my old RE (I love him but very expensive) and took ivf class, signed consents, ordered meds, and now waiting for AF to start injections for conventional ivf.

 

[Cjohnson13]

Yay for you girls moving in for ivf! Iv gotten my cd 11 and a cd12 scan
Today it's showing I have 2 follicles on my left side that are around 15.4 an 2 on my right measuring 13. My e2 is 236 so I should have at least 1 mature eggy. And my lining is at 8.4 so I'm just waiting on there call I say if I do my trigger or come back in I tomorrow again

 

[Cjohnson13]

I have to in tomorrow for another scan, they said my e2 was at 296 today

 

[Cjohnson13]

So today I have a 20mm and 16 mm follicle on the right and 2x 16 mm follicles on the left , waiting for the call to see If I trigger tonight my e2 was 296 yesterday so I'm assuming its more today

 

[Cjohnson13]

396 yesterday

 

[Cjohnson13]

So now they are canceling my cycle......
