IUI + Femara Buddies!!

[steph_466]

wildchic, I really hope you get to do you iui this month. The size seems pretty good just hope that lining thickens for you

Still no af for me, temps still high, boobs still sore. Im confused going to test again tomorrow, if its neg then this will be the longest cycle Ive had in over two years! Im really trying not to get my hopes up, its been a long ttc and its so hard as you all know to get that bfn when you are excited and think its going to be positive. So staying neutral! Wish me luck ladies

Any update on the test??? Fingers crossed for you!

I am 2 dpiui today. The IUI itself was better this month than last, way less pain which was good! Hubby's count was lower though than it's been in the past. Only 5.8 million, but 97% motility so wedding the IUI...now it's just a waiting game!

 

[steph_466]

Okay so now im lost, had a bfn today. My temp is still up. I had some bright red spotting after a bm but nothing since! So lost

 

[wildchic]

Steph- could be a good sign! Wait a day or two & test again! AFM- I'm having bad ovulation pains and I'm not sure if my clinic is open over the weekend Argg! I was so happy to be doing the iui this cycle, but it looks like I'll just have to do it the old fashioned way! But it hurts so much, I really don't think I'll be able to dtd!

 

[steph_466]

When I ovulated on clomid it hurt really bad like that too! I was sure that it wasnt going to be able to happen (sex) but you just had to be careful and try to take it slow. I know my fertility clinic is open on weekends to do iui, limited hours but still open

And It makes no sense for my chart but Im getting crampy now so maybe af will show in the morning, even know my temp was still high this evening. Ahh I can see how temping stresses people out.

 

[wildchic]

Hope af doesn't show and u get your bfp!!! We did manage to dtd, it was painful, but I guess I'd do anything to get a bfp! Like half hour after dtd, I got a call from my fs (I sent the nurse at the clinic an email, telling her about the pain) and he sent me for bloodwork to check my LH level. He explained that my follies weren't big enough on Wednesday and that he doesn't think its ovulation pains, he thinks its caused by the Progynova(estrogen pills). But I went for the b/w and should get the results soon(I hope). The fs doesn't want me to miss out on doing the iui, so I wait now and hope for the best!

 

[steph_466]

I cant help there, I wasnt monitored on clomid so im not sure how big they or it got lol. For all I know maybe I wasnt ovulating at all before and thats why it hurt. Then again some women just hurt when ovulating. Your fs sounds like a really good doc Keep me posted on your bloods Im curious

 

[wildchic]

Steph- I didn't get my results but the nurse called and I have to trigger tonight and iui on Monday morning. I'm happy, but I still feel that monday is a bit late. I think I'm ovulating today, but I'll see when I go in on monday. I'm just so scared to do the trigger. Dh says he'll do it, but I think he's even more scared than me, lol.

Steph- how many DPO are you now? Sorry you got a bfn. Ugh. I hope it turns into a BFP for you and that you are one of the people who get it late!

Wildchic- Yay for IUI on Monday!! Fingers crossed for you- if you think it is too late, then continue to BD even though it hurts so you have your bases covered!! Did they take blood? They should know based on your LH surge if it is too late or not!

As for me- 7dpIUI today. Clinic called yesterday that I have to take progesterone pessaries twice a day due to a level of 6.8. I don't know why they continue to drop. The first 2 AC cycles, my levels were normal. Last month they were 8 and I had to supplement once a day. This month, 6.8 and twice a day supplements. Not sure what is going on, but I think a lot of it probably has to do with diet and exercise. I just did some research on foods that can decrease estrogen and increase progesterone so I am going to try to make some changes and exercise more!

Hi, I did b/w today and it came back at 15. The nurse said that its very high and that they usually get a 3 or 4. But I'm concerned that maybe its that high because I'm already ovulating. Its so depressing! Katie- have you started the pessaries yet? How long would you have to take it? Steph- Any news yet, did af arrive?

 

[cupcakestoy]

Wildchic-My Dr. likes to do IUI 24 hrs after a +Opk, but some Dr's prefer 36 hrs, so maybe it will be right on time!

 

[Molly123456]

Wildchic - my doctor does the IUI 36 hours after trigger. The trigger was scary the first time I did it, but the needle is so small it shouldn't hurt. And I totally hate needles! I couldn't let my DH do it...I had to do it myself.

I am 3dpiui and already sick of waiting!

 

[steph_466]

Well as we kinda figured af showed today. So off to do iui in a couple weeks, pretty excited!

[steph_466]

Thanks!

Sorry about AF, but excited for your iui!

Hey girl!
I'm Katie. Just had my iui this morning after first cycle of femara and trigger. I did 2 clomid cycles prior, 3rd got cancelled due to cyst. On the 2 clomid cycles we did one with bd and one with iui- both with trigger. Last month we did trigger and iui. I always produced multiple follies on clomid and ovulated but nothing. I am hoping femara will treat us better! I had one follie with femara at 20 mm and several smaller, 11 mm and under. Iui today hurt like hell- lots more than the others did. Dreading the 2ww and hoping for a miracle!! Happy to be cycle buddies with you

Hi ladies. Just had an iui this morning. The actually procedure wasn't painful but I started cramping 5 min after. I attributed this to ov, which is happening now, or to fertilizing, hopefully? What kind of pain was yours? Was the catheter bothering you?

I took clomid and did a trigger shot. Had two follies, one on each side, but my hsg was inconclusive for left side. I am also 38 so my chances are less, but lying low today and hoping for a miracle.

 

[katiecakes]

Steph- So sorry AF showed, here's to hoping the best for your IUI!!

Wildchic- Yes, I started the pessaries a few days ago. Twice a day~ they are so annoying. Cause headaches and weepiness. But I will deal with it if the end result is a BFP!!

molly- I SO hear you on the waiting game!!! I am 8dpiui, 10dptrigger today and I am at the stage where I start to go crazy. I started testing yesterday to see if the trigger is out of my system. I got a squinter yesterday, and a slightly darker line this morning (but I used 3mu yesterday and first mu today...so that could be the cause of the darker line.) To cope with the tww, I am trying to stay busy and keep my mind on something else!!!

Cupcake- How is everything going with you? I forget where you are in this cycle? Hope all is well!

Redbean, for me the part that hurt this time around was the catheter. I had a different dr. do it and she wasn't as gentle. It is normal to have cramping and spotting after the IUI! Welcome and Good luck!!

Hope all you ladies are enjoying this beautiful Sunday weather
