IUI + Femara Buddies!!

[Molly123456]

Congrats Katie!!! So excited for you!!!

I got them with clomid. It's normal to have hot flashes and other menopausal symptoms because clomid suppresses estrogen

Katie,

We're you on Clomid this month w your BFP? Did you get hot flashes this cycle? I am so nervous that it means I'm out.

Wild, are you getting them yet?

Everything on the web suggests it's going to be a bum month.

 

[katiecakes]

No, I did femara for the first time this month- I didn't have any side effects from it. But on clomid I had them all the time- it's normal and doesn't mean you are out. Fingers crossed for you!!

How exciting!!!! Congratulations, that's wonderful news! I kind of jumped in late to this convo - was this your first IUI? Can you tell me a little bit about it?

I am getting it now! But it could be the Progynova I'm on. I take them at night to help with my lining and have to stay on them until I get a bfn. Getting the hot flushes are normal with Clomid though, its one of the side effects and it doesn't mean you're out at all!

Anyone else have any news? I am DYING to test right now but I am only 8dpiui. So I need to wait. I am going to try to hold off until Saturday. Well really I am going to try to wait until Monday but I am guessing Saturday is about how long I will be able to hold off.

Thank you! This was my third IUI. Here's how our assisted conception cycles went:

1. December- Clomid/Trigger (IUI cancelled due to snow storm)
2. January- Clomid/Trigger/IUI
3. February- Trigger/IUI/Progesterone once a day after IUI (Clomid cancelled due to cyst)
4. March- Femara/Trigger/IUI/Progesterone twice a day after IUI

Katie what were your progesterone numbers for them to put you on progesterone.? Today was the first day in the last 3 days that I haven't felt a " lighting bolt" type of pain. I was just a little crampy. I had them going from my right side down to my inner vagina. And then yesterday had one go up my vagina like around my cervix. Im really hoping that its implantation! Is this something that could be caused by the trigger? I didn't get it last month, but didn't know if you ladies have had anything similar. I also have had a headache everday...

I am a bad influence. 8dpiui is when I got my first faint line but I thought it was trigger. !!!!!!! lol.

The first time they put me on progesterone once a day, my level was 8. This time around for twice a day, my level was 6.8.

I had those same pains!!! I think its a good sign

Same here...third IUI and fingers are crossed. I am gonna test in the morning. I already tested out my trigger so any positive at this point will be the real deal! I have cramps right now...maybe that's a good sign (however I had lots of cramping with the first IUI and was convinced I was pregnant). **sigh**

 

[Redbean]

Froggy, I don't know what causes them, but I have gotten those pains both months while on clomid when my prog was through the roof, so yes I would say they are good signs

 

[Redbean]

Also, question:

I got pretty bad cramps this morn at 5dpo. This is earlier than my normal cramping, which would start at 9, so something is different. But I've been wondering lately if I didn't have a big cyst, in my right ov: night sweats, bad ov pain (and last night during bding too), nausea, now cramps...

I'm feeling rather low about this whole cycle, too. Not confident this is my month.

Anyone ever had a bad luteal fluid/cyst related cycles after a trigger, esp? What was it like?

 

[katiecakes]

I got a cyst from clomid and my third clomid cycle got cancelled due to the cyst!

 

[cupcakestoy]
