IUI Jan/Feb/March/Apr/May 2012 - Status updates on page one 12 bfp

[Hopeful42nd]

Yeah equal! That's great and it's definately increasing nicely! It just means you implanted later. It happens.
I'm good, not so sick now, have an US tomorrow aft, I'll be 12w3d!

 

[Nicker]

Okay so there are two of us IUI #3ers left to test for March. We still have 2 spots on the for IUI#3 which I declared were being filled this month. Tella its just me and you kid!.. Today I am not negative and I am not positive.... I am just meh. Tomorrow is 7dpiui. Halfway through the tww.

second beta was 86.9, up from 28 so I guess thats good? Still on the low side i think, but its definitely doubling!

Woohoo Equal. That looks like a great rise. If you check out betabase.info (a collection of beta values in viable pregnancies), your numbers fall within that range and more than doubled too. Very happy for you. Is your doctor ordering more beta HCGs or going to schedule an ultrasound for later? Well, wishing you the best!

Jchic is on CD2 - she is starting her injectable cycle! Yay for Jchic!

Question ladies...

Can follicles get TOO big on clomid?? How big is too big?

I'm concerned because last time on day 11, my follies were 22 and 25 cm, which seems good sized. This cycle my RN wants me to come in on CD 12 - I worry my follies might become overripe. Am I stressing over nothing?

The RE had us trigger my Ovulation at 18mm on just Femara no IUI.

 

[Tella]

Daisy > I have no idea if follicles can get to big, I think if they are to big they will just ovulate :shrugg:

haj > Hope everything went well and you can start with your IVF journey soon!!!!!

froliky > Its great if the family is supportive, hope you have ur IUI in perfect timing!!!! Gl for the scan today!!

Bastetgrrl > GL with your IUI today, everything will be fine and you gonna catch that eggy!!!!!!!!!!!

Equal > Cant wait to see your doubled numbers tomorrow!

Hopeful > GL with the scan, cant wait to see some pics of bean!!!!!

Nicker > Thanks and oh yes those spots are sitting waiting for us In less than 24hrs I will be PUPO!!!!!!!!!!

AFM > My ovaries are very uncomfortable when I sit in certain positions, especially on the left but I suppose its from the follies that is growing their last little bit. Im hoping the right one of 14mm yesterday has caught up and is 18mm by tomorrow.

Accu this morning was awesome, very in tune and the qi is flowing nicely. IUI is tomorrow morning early, DH must be there at 7:30 and I presume he is gonna do the IUI even earlier this time. I just hope we have good sperm numbers tomorrow and healthy sperm, DH had stage fright last night for the first time and couldn’t finish. I was devastated and are just praying for good numbers tomorrow.

[bastetgrrl]

Hi ladies sitting here in the waiting room while get washed. Nervous and excited. Hope to update later.

 

[DaisyQ]

GL Bastet! So excited for you!

Tella! Hope this time is the last time!

Nicker, I hope you and Tella are the two outstanding BFPs for March!

AFM, I just talked to my doctor and asked when I should be coming in for monitoring next week, based on the fact that my follicles were 22 and 25 mm on CD 11 last cycle. The nurse had said to come in on CD 12, but I worry that I may be overripe at that point. At first he said, "well, 21mm and 22mm are perfect sizes for triggering, so one day shouldn't make a big difference." I had to correct him and remind him that one was 22 and the other was 25. He said, yeah, the 25 is getting to be on the larger side, and suggested that I come in on Wednesday for monitoring (CD 11 like last time). He said if I'm not ready, I'll have to come back again the next day.

Then I asked him about back to back IUIs (because my IUI last time was at 24 hours post trigger, and I think it was too early - my chart shows I ovulated the DAY after the IUI). And he said OK, but he wants to do them at 12 and 36 hours after trigger (which means, I'm triggering myself). I said OK. But ladies, I had thought they would be at 24 and 48 hours after trigger. ?? It seems most people doing IUIs do one IUI at 36 hours post trigger, or two at 24 and 48 hours... I think the one at 12 hours post trigger will be a complete wash - way too early, based on what happened last time. I was too flustered on the phone to make this point, but maybe I'll ask him about it when I see him on Wednesday - if 12 and 36 hours are appropriate, given I probably didn't ovulate last time until ~45 hours after the trigger.

Daisy, my FS does btb iui's, one is at 12 hours after trigger and the other is 36 hours.

[bastetgrrl]

Thanks

 

[Hays :)]

Good luck Bastetgrrl & Tella

 

[DaisyQ]

Thanks oneof14. How are you doing? Hanging in there? What's the plan for this cycle?

 

[BabyOnMyOwn]

Hi All,

I just have a minute because my students get here in a few, but I wanted to say good luck to those with IUI's today! I hope all of you in the TWW have time going by quickly! My fingers are crossed for you! Everyone getting ready. . . GOOD LUCK! I hope you all have GREAT follicles!

AFM, AF showed up Monday night so obviously I am out again this cycle. I am going to take April and maybe May off as well as I am traveling in April and I feel like my body (and emotions) need a break. I am thinking about going to a different RE that a few of my friends have used so I am going to try to get an appointment to see him. I will of course keep checking in (and stalking) all of you. I hope to see lots of BFPs coming up!!

 

[DaisyQ]

Good luck baby. maybe a break is just what you need. A lady on another thread just conceived on her own after a failed IVF, so you never know what can happen.

 

[drsquid]

babyonmyown- sorry about af. i know the feeling.. im sorta at the bullheaded break point of damn it... im just gonna keep trying and escalating til it works vs.. screw this. i quit.. daisy- im pretty sure she is doing this single thus... for us there is no.. try the natural way. it is docs help or nothing.

did my 2nd gonal f shot last night. i was out at a bar playing trivia. my friends convinced me i had to go to the bathroom to do it. asked the bouncer if they had a sharps container but they didnt. (he is a friend of mine). we ended up winning btw. i swear about an hour after the shot i was exhausted.. but i was tired to start with so who knows. i was told id have fewer side effects but so far i tolerated femara better. but if it works.. fingers crossed meds arrive like they are supposed to today. had them sent to work cause they need a signature and the cats still havent grown their opposible thumbs.

 

[oneof14]

Thanks oneof14. How are you doing? Hanging in there? What's the plan for this cycle?

Im hanging in, that's the best way to describe it. I have not been much fun lately. I am basically doing the same as last month Femera, but the dosage was upped. during the tww, we are going to meet with the doctor to discuss IVF for next month. Thanks for asking.

 

[froliky2011]

Popping in quickly....

Good Luck Basetgrrl!

Sorry Babyonmyown! Enjoy your reprieve.

My us was good. They gave me a trigger and this morning I had my LH surge. The mc has really changed my cycle a bit. My lining looked good and so did the follicle. IUI #4 is tomorrow in the morning.

Hi to everyone else!!!

 

[diliapickle]

Good luck Basetgrrl and Froliky!! And to everyone else in the pre-TWW and TWW!

I had a panic this morning when I went in for my us because I needed to be ready to do IUI's tomorrow and Friday as I leave for a conference on Saturday. My doctor is out of town so I saw a new one. He didnt read that I was leaving and checked and goes oh yeah you have a few more days... I panic and go I DONT HAVE A FEW MORE DAYS! (hormones are really kicking in this time!) and he goes ok let me look again. He then decides that I should be ok with only one more day of Bravelle today (drive an hour to have to pick that up) and then trigger tomorrow with IUI Friday and Saturday morning right before heading to airport! I really hope that they really are ready (I actually had 4! this time but only two are close 16, 14, 12, 10) when I go for IUI as I don't want to do the b2b and pay the $600 if they aren't but also don't want to not try! So lots of hope and prayers right now that this works!
