IUI December Buddies

[Bma11]

Mrs. T, I have a phone consult with the guy on Thursday & then an actual appointment for my first session january 7. You should consult with one around you, ask your doctor if they recommend anyone specific. I hear really good things & a lady on here that has really helped me, her guy came to her transfer for IVF! I still hope you get a positive, we need some you & green orchid hopefully!!!!

3 days after my second IUI they have me take endometrin suppositories. Progestrone. I started my period on Wednesday and still had to take it. Ugh. Went in today for my blood test, I negative then I quit the endometrin. But luckily well normally the endometrin doesn't prolong my cycle.

You still had to take the progesterone even after starting your period? How come?
How many mg per day did you take?
I've to take 10mg twice a day.
So, I'm not sure how much that influences my cycle.

Getting af like cramps sometimes but never actually get my period just that brown discharge. Arrgghh.. wish she would just show already!

So, my periods never ever come early, I never spot the day before it or anything. I started spotting on Tuesday and a full flow Wednesday around noon. My period wasn't due until this Sunday. So, it very well could have been implantation bleeding, so I hoped. So, she just made sure I was on endometrin and I said yes. I take 100mg of endometrin by suppositories.
And the last two cycles of clomid , IUI and using the endometrin the day I got a negative beta, I'm to stop endometrin and I start my period two days later like I normally would. They told me endometrin does delay your period, but in my case it never did and this last cycle my period came early.


Do you normally spot before your period?? Because if not it could be a good sign. Fingers crossed!!!

First IUI was this morning It went well and the doctor was happy with the post-wash count. Still haven't felt the ovulation pain yet, but 36 hours post-trigger will be tonight at 11:30 pm so it should happen sometime today and the spermies will be there waiting to ambush In any case, we're planning to BD tonight for some extra insurance!!

 

[GreenOrchid]

Bma11, I think I'm right there with you. My beta is Monday but a FRER today was . I think I am gonna take a little break. I want to book a trip for mine and DH's 10th wedding anniversary on Valentine's Day. Then regroup a little and move onto IVF next summer. I am definitely interested in starting acupuncture too.

Sorry about the BFN Mrs. T A nice trip sounds perfect so you'll be refreshed and ready to start IVF

 

[biggerfamily]

I'll have my IUI on Monday so no more Bdn'g for us now until after the IUI Monday.

Hi ladies! Hope everyone is doing well with this close to the holiday! I'm slightly nervous, I read how everyone experiences all these symptoms during their tea, especially with the progesterone supplements, but I have yet to experience anything that I could call a symptom. Am I too early to be looking for symptoms, 9 dpiui think 8 dpo? I'm trying to prepare myself by doing research and such but I'm just curious. Sorry, I can also be a slight worrier as well. Thanks so much ladies, I enjoy reading everyone's updates which helps me understand all the little things so much more. Best of luck for everyone! Oh! I should probably also add this was my first medicated cycle and IUI. Thanks again!

 

[Bma11]

Green orchid~ positiv thoughts and prayers your way!!!

Anmlz~ my second cycle I didnt experience any symptoms from progestrone suppositories, the first and third cycle my boobs and nipples were sore like crazy. And some women have symptoms around 8dpo. But like others have said, we don't really trust our bodies while being on the meds..... So just keep that in mind! Good luck positive thoughts and prayers your way as well!!!

 

[biggerfamily]

Update really fast...

IUI is for tomorrow instead of Monday.. Got a peak on my CBFM,took an cheap strip opk an a digital smile an got a smiley so called RE an he said tomorrow morning have it done. I sure hope this cycle is it.. So we will be leaving our home this evening for a 21/2 hr drive an stay at hotel for tomorrow BIG DAY!!!

Please Please pray this works...

 

[augustluvers]

Hey there ladies!

GreenO~ I'm glad your IUI went well. How are you feeling?

As for me ~ ER was today. They got 6 mature eggs. I get my fertilization report tomorrow morning. I'm dying to know how many of the 6 fertilized. I'm home resting up until tomorrow morning. I'm having a little cramping but nothing more.

 

[Pookabear]

Good luck bigger!!!!!!

Orchid...yay for your iui, I hope this is it for you too!

Soooo sorry mrs....It breaks my heart for you because I too know how it feels, as we all do

Afm: only 2 dpo and I am soooo tired and can't seem to g3t enough rest...I know its impossibble to already put it down to pregnancy but I am never this tired and can't figure out why...I am not on any meds and wasn't pre iui either...any thoughts

 

[lanet]

Hello ladies, yes I will be taking clomid before IUI. I've done 3 months of that last year so I'm all too familiar, and slightly scared, of the anxiety and mood swings it cause. But I'm going into it prepared. Thank you so much for the warm welcome. My hubby had low motility and good count on his first s/a. Second one showed good motility and very low count. Also a high WBC. He's been on 2 rounds of antibiodics and many supplements. I'm kind of irregular so I'll probably start my IUI cycle in a few weeks. I'm ready!

 

[Charliegirl27]

Welcome Lanet, I hope your stay will be short but sweet!

Bma and MrsT -

Pooka, I hear ya! I'm usually a bit tired but this month is extraordinary! I just can't keep my eyes open.

GreenO, glad to hear today went well.

August, how exciting! Can't wait to hear either!

Anmlz, I'm 9dpiui too. I tested my trigger out but I'm now a bit scared to test again! I have left myself with 1 IC and I'm hoping o wait at least another 3 days to test. I symptom spot like crazy too but I know your not supposed to get any symptoms until after missed AF! Gives us something to do in the tww I suppose!

That's great!! Now the hard part...we wait!!

 

[ttcbaby117]

Lanet - welcome...I am in the same boat as you...I completely understand...I am self pay and to be aggresive I asked for injections for my first IUI...they are more expensive and though they didnt work this time, I think maybe they might this time. I did respond well with 3 eggs! I think if your issue is MFI then IUI might just be what the dr ordered!

Bma - go for it hun!

Pook -so happy for you hun! that is awesome!

august - I know only 3 days is really not alot of time...but look at this way....at least you didnt have to have that long wait of worrying about it...it is happening so fast you dont have time to think to hard aobut it. Sometimes that is the best way!

Bma - awww hun.....this is such a horrible roller coaster....I am so sorry about you feeling down.I hope you enjoyed your drink! DH will come around....maybe after you have your consult about IVF you can talk to him again.

Kat - wow look at DH's numbers they are awesome!

Green - woohoo good luck with your IUI!

Type A - I got a letter from my RE on her letterhead stating that these injections were meds I needed....it worked.

MrsT - sorry about the bfn hun

anm - many women dont have sypmtoms....it could be normal for you!

bigger - congrats on being in the TWW

afm - just enjoying the weekend....I have 2 more days of femara then I am starting my gonal F injections on Monday. I will also be scanned on Monday so I will let you know how it all looks!

 

[Bma11]

A quick update. Definitely drinking a Texas twister or two tonight. I have a sister in law asking about what's going on and why I'm not pregnant! Why do they think its okay to pry. Almost told her but luckily got interrupted. It's not hard I just don't want her in my business. And I don't know how to politely say butt out!

With that said... August I'm glad it went well, can't wait to hear! And everyone else prayers for you!!!!
Just have to say the bright spot in my day was being able to fit into an extra small pant from express despite getting a pudge from bravelle!! Lol.

Well, I don't normally spot before my period but it has become normal over the past few months (since we first started TTC). I don't know why though. I don't understand my body anymore!

Anyways, AF showed yesterday. I knew I wasn't pregnant so, I'm happy I can move on to a new cycle now.
I started taking Clomid 50mg today and will call the clinic on Monday to schedule an appointment for the HSG and the cd12 scan.

I hope that this time we can do the IUI the day after the trigger shot. Last time, I got my trigger shot on a Saturday and then had to go back for the IUI the following Monday since the clinic is closed on Sundays.

Btw.. I can completely relate to how you felt when your SIL asked you why you aren't pregnant yet. My dear MIL keeps doing the same thing. But giving me pressure definitely won't help.

 

[typeA TTC]

Bma- I completely second that!! I don't really like talking about my defunct ovaries and follicles to everyone ! DH doesn't understand this because no one ever asks him. But they ask me a lot!

TTCbaby- thank you!

I went into the FS today for bloodwork. Waiting to hear if my dosage needs to be increased.

Awe, I'm sorry! But you are right at least you can move on. At least we can take meds while on period instead of having to wait for that to clear up too!!
I don't think you should feel like your IUI didn't work because of the timing. You ovulate 24-36 hours after the shot! I do back to back iui's, so trigger, next morning IUI & next morning IUI. I think the actual trigger is based on the time of second IUI. But I do however think its crappy that a fertility center who we PAY, is not open for IUI on weekends.
Good luck this round!!

 

[anmlz86]

Charlie- these 2 weeks waiting are terrible! I tested my trigger out too, it was nice to see a positive test after so many negatives, too bad it wasn't the real positive. I tested this morning too just to ease my anxiousness and it was negative, so still early. I've been trying to symptom spot, but the only thing I've noticed is twinges around my pelvic region. Lol, one way to be Good luck with the rest of your 2ww, fx'd for you!!

ttc- Thanks, I don't know if it would be better if I did have symptoms or not for my tww lol.

Anywho, best of luck for everyone!! FX'd!!
