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

Bastetgrrl- lol they say it's better to do it at home yourself. Those salons reek!, I'm sure if you lit a match near one it'd blow up!

I do my nails myself simply because I do it much better than any salon. However, I still use the same nail polishes as at the salons - can't imagine my nails without some colour..Need to research what's safe..As if stubbing myself in the tummy twice a day wasn't fun enough

Well, I just got back from my appointment and I have 3 follicles. Two on the right side, 22mm and 16mm and one on the left side 13mm. My lining is 9mm so that's looking good! Doctor took blood and said if I'm not having my surge then we're going to do the ovidrel shot tomorrow night and then IUI on Tuesday and if I am having my surge already then I'll be doing the ovidrel shot tonight and then IUI on Monday! I'm very happy with the results of 100mg clomid and I can't wait to see if it works!

I told OH that we may be getting twins! =D

Dear Ash, what was your AMH count before clomid and how long have you been taking it before your got your 3 precious follies? Thank you...And, your numbers are very good!!! FX!

I'm not sure what my AMH count was before clomid since they haven't tested me for that yet but what I do know is that my FSH was 6.64 which is good and in normal range and that my AFC was 29 total so that's good. Maybe that's why they didn't test the AMH? Since everything else that has to do with eggs looked normal ... I'm really not sure! They don't seem to be too worried about that part of it though so I'm trying not to be also!

This is only my second round of clomid. The first round was last month and I was taking 50mg days 3-7, this time I took 100mg 3-7. They upped my dose since I only produced one mature follicle on 50mg and so the 100mg worked since I now have 3 =D

Dear Ash, thanks for your reply. Yes, your numbers indeed very good and promising, good luck with your testing, sending you good vibes and baby dust (plenty,plenty,plenty) with my brightly manicured hands!!! FX!!!

Nothing in our society is safe anymore. Just look up aspertame and you'll be awake with nightmares for a month. Hormones fed to livestock, pesticides used on crops, pollution in the air and water. It's frustrating how our way of lives is detrimental to our reproduction.
They've shown that the incidence of problems with male fertility is the worst in southwestern Ontario compared to the whole rest of Canada. Probably due to the metropolitan areas and large factories polluting. Makes ya wonder

 

[DaisyQ]

Actually nail polish is pretty bad. There are chemicals in nail polish that are associated with infertility. I read about this in Robert Greene's book, and here is a link to an article.

Here is another one:

Hmm, according to these articles, nothing is really 100% safe, including other cosmetics and washing products..Thanks for that info, Daisy, shall do my research in what products are safe..Never thoughts that nail polish, shampoos can affect fertility..Is there such a thing as organic nail polish, for example? Organic shampoos, soaps etc I am sure..Hmmm....

In general, I think products you find at Whole Foods are safe. I like Alba brand for some stuff - moisturizer for example. You want to find products that are paraben and phylatate (spelling??) free.

I couldn't agree more - we live in such a toxic society. It's hard to live "scared" though, you know what I mean? I am trying my best to make changes (we eat mostly organic), and now I'm trying to avoid (some not all) of the products with these chemicals in them that might be harmful for fertility, but I can't just abstain from everything, all the time.

 

[Hopeful42nd]

I agree entirely Daisy. There has to be a balance and goals must be attainable.eating organic is great! Keeping things with additives to a minimum, cooking your own meals. I try to avoid certain things too though, but sometimes you need to have something that makes you happy, be it a pedicure, highlights, or a ordered in meal.
Let's hope we all have made enough change to keep healthy

What good news Ash! That's so exciting to hear you have three follies!

I can't imagine that, once for me with trigger shot didn't bother me, but twice every day? It'd grow old real fast. As for nails, if you that good want to come over and do mine? just kidding. Wish my left hand was steady enough to pain my right. My left always looks awesome and then catastrophe happens, lol

Yeah, I've been doing them myself lately to save money anyway. I just like my toes to have polish on them. Never cared much for having my finger nails painted.

Oh GOD...you are probably right about those salons.

OMG speaking about toxins and everything bad in the world, have you ever read the book "Skinny Bitch" holy smokes that'll make you think twice about stuff you eat and drink. I still cannot stomach milk!! Soy for me.

Hi everyone, so I just ha my first iui done 3/21. I had a small amount of spotting that day and the next, which the dr said was normal, and then nothing until 7 dpiui I had the smallest amount of pink with wiping. Has anyone had spotting so far after the iui? I was super hopeful it could be ib, but I'm thinking it's probably just left over from the iui... Thoughts?

Yay!! So glad the 100mg did the trick!

Dillia > GL with your TWW!!!!!!!!!!

Isela > Grow follies grow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

drsquid > Oh no, I hope you managed to find some!!! But I don’t think slightly different dose one day will make a huge difference just that your IUI might be moved on a day.

ash > that’s awesome response, especially not having lining issues. Hehe my DH was always petrified of twins but now he has accepted that but is scared of triplets, but im also!!!

kinerie > oh ok that makes sense, I would also not spoil the holiday. Fx'd for a bfp!!!! I don’t know about the botox either, I would definitely ask though!

bastetgrrl > Why milk? I have read it is bad for fertility but not sure why?

msw > We hope it is IB, chances of it still being spotting from the iui is very low. FX'd for a implanter!!!!!!!

AFM > Oh no, now I have one more thing to stress about, I have my nails done once a month with acrylic overlay on my own nail. Wonder if that is also a issue? But then on the other hand how many woman don’t even try to fall and fall whilst doing all of this, I find it had to draw a line at what is reasonable and whats not.


Otherwise not much to report! 3DPO and waiting

 

[Msw454]

Thanks tella! It was my first iui, so I have no idea what to expect. I wouldn't worry about your nails, youre right people get Acrylic nails all the time. It's so hard not to analyze everything when ttc!!!

I was referring to the book "Skinny Bitch" and how disgusting the whole milk process is not anything fertility related.

YAY for almost being done with the TWW. I just had my first IUI but didn't have any spotting but I'm sure it's normal. Could even be IB like Tella said. FXD

 

[ashknowsbest]

daydream - thanks! I'm really happy I responded well to 100mg also! I always wanted at least 3 follicles and that's what I got! =D

tella - I agree, twins would be nice but triplets ... I mean I would be happy and grateful don't get me wrong but I think it would do horrible things to my body especially since I'm tiny as it is. I really want to try and just keep it to twins! But at this point, my hands are tied!

AFM - last night after the ultrasound I was feeling horrible! I had muscle cramps and my ovaries were hurting really bad, I'm sure from the ultrasound ... I mean pressing on them when they're already swollen can't be good! Good news is, I'm really 99% better today! I didn't hear from my doctor yesterday so I must not have been surging so the plan is trigger tonight at 9 and IUI Tuesday morning at 9. OH and I are BDing of course just in case I ovulate before the IUI but I'm feeling good about it.

Implantation bleeding or spotting is experienced only by 25% of women. Def. a good sign if it happens, but if not - doesn't mean that impl. didn't take place

When my mummy comes to visit or my girlfriends - I always do their nails, love it! I mean with inj. meds twice a day, of course not the trigger However, this gives me an idea - if the trigger makes me ovulate by releasing the eggs (am I correct in my assumption??), perhaps this way I will have tons of eggs (which are right now hiding somewhere, sleepy heads ) and that might be end of my problem??? Wishful thinking, right?
