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

Hrm elle- were you doing your own shots? I found it super fiddly to try to hold the giant pen, push in the clicks etc all at the same time. I ended up bending the needle 45 degrees cause I was pushing to hard trying to do everything at the same time. With my bitty hands a syringe is just easier.

Went in tonight for my CD 3 U/S & bloodwork. I had good news and bad news... The good news is I'm a lot less "poly cystic" with 5 on the left and 6 on the right (Whoo hooo!!!) the bad news is that I have a 20 mm cyst on my left side that hasn't resolved So my doctor is going to call tomorrow after checking my hormone levels to let me know if we can move forward this month. Looks like I might be out until May : (

So sorry to hear. I am waiting for AF sometime this week, I am so scared for my cd 3 ultrasound, because I too had a large cyst last cycle that has to be gone at my ultrasound. If not it is yet another cancelled cycle. I hate cancelled cycles, even more because my cycles are near 40 days. It feels like such a waste in the process.

I hope you can continue with this cycle!! FX for u!!

Hey everyone. I hope you are all well. I won't be able to update the first page until Wednesday afternoon or evening. Planning for a big field trip tomorrow. Bus leaves at 6:30 am ang gets back at 8:00 pm 49-9th graders that early in the morning.

Interesting to me, I don't know if I was ovulating before my IUI cycles. I suspect I wasn't but I am quite certain I am today. I can feel it. CD11 which should my cycle around the 24-25 day length. I hope so because that makes good timing for me in June.

 

[miss_f]

When is your test date miss f? Good luck!

My test date will be April 24th, which will be 14dpiui. If I can wait that long of course.

 

[miss_f]

Miss F what day was your IUI?

My IUI was April 10th.

 

[diliapickle]

Have a doctors appointment for tomorrow morning! We will see what he says regarding one more IUI or moving to IVF! I am really torn over which way to go so we will see! Good news is my Dh finally heard back from specialist so he can do in depth SA this week and we get results next week!

Yeah, I do give myself the injection!! I actually find it so easy, and the head of the needle is tiny, tiny. I find the individual ones to be a tad thicker, and I get a burning sensation from the serum. Who knows? LOL!! To each their own , right?? LOL!!

Good luck and let us know!!!

The only shot I'm worried about is the PIO (progesterone in oil) for IVF. It's an intramuscular shot, with a much bigger needle, and I hear it burns going in. Can't wait. As DH travels for work almost every week, I'm actually going to be relying on a work friend (!!!) to give these to me. Oh, and did I mention they go in your ass??? Can't wait.

 

[drsquid]

yeah pio doesnt sounds like fun. if this month doesnt work i think im going back to oral meds. id be in trouble with this many eggs and sperm that can actually swim

L4Hope > Sorry for the bfn!!!!

oneof14 > Sorry for the bfn!!!!

Ash > That is great news!!!!!!!!! Im so glad you are feeling comfortable and have a set game plan. GL with your next cycle!!! we keep fx'd that the 24hrs iui is all you need to get that BFP! Some doctors wait for your natural LH surge and then only trigger which then makes a 24hrs IUI more effective. I read a study saying that a trigger with a lh surge is better than just a trigger.

miss_f > GL with the rest of your TWW. it is torturous we know, but worth it one of these days.

ellemar > All you need is 1 but extras is a bonus. Fx'd your TWW flies by!

notoptimistic > I had a perfect cycle on clomid everytime I took it after my Ovarian drilling. You not taking progesterone hey?

AMP > so sorry abou the cyst!!!! Hope it goes away by itself. Atleast you are a lot less poly cystic!

Nicker > WOW that is one busy day you have ahead of you!! GL!!!!!!!!!!! Great news about Oing on your own!!! Have you considered home inseminations?

dilliapickle > GL with the doc today! Hope he can give you some insight into which is the right route for you now. FXd for good results for DH!

Daisy > Im super scared about which im gonna get, pills or PIO. My DH will faint if he has to and I don’t know if I will be able to give it to myself. There is a GP office a block from my house so I might ask them if they will give it to me.

drsquid > haha, cant the doc just give you a lower dosage of the injectables seeing as it gives better eggs and results?

AFM > Another 2 injections down, but I must say my stomach is starting to hurt where I inject and I still have like 11 to go It feels like when you are bruised.

 

[Step Mummy]

I know I think that now too, I mean my OH even said to me the other night he goes, all of that worrying when we were just dating and the condom broke for what?! I think this is all stupid! I'm happy I'm not the only one who never has had a bfp before though! I'm not alone! QUOTE]

I know what you mean, DH and I have been together for 11 years and all those years on the pill, what a waste! I wish I had gotten PG by accident, at least we wouldn't be here doing this now! I also wonder sometimes if he had spermies years ago while we were not TTC, as he has a 20 year old son now, So I don't know when they all vanished - it could be recently!

It is tough each month, no BFP, you begin think there is something wrong that they have not founf, but don't give up, it seems to take time - ages in fact The only hope I have is that I do not see many on here who had done 4 IUI's so I presume thats because on go 4 they got BFP's - not that they gave up!

Here's hoping for us all!

 

[Step Mummy]

Did you ever have a month where you had an abnormally heavy period? Or perhaps it showed a day or two late when you were normally regular. My RE says a lot of times ppl aren't even aware but have had a pregnancy that just didn't implant.[/QUOTE]

I know what you mean, a few years ago I was changing pills, and I was a few days late, then had a clear "blob" (yuk TMI) come out followed by a really heavy period, I was sat on the loo for ages looking at it thinking - what is it - was I PG??? but I don't know now, I don't think anything would have been that big that early, unless it was older and the previous month I had had a bleed which wasn't AF - which now you've got me thinking, could have happened?...... who knows!

 

[Step Mummy]

I am looking forward to our next IUI D now, can't wait to get started again, I have the drugs all ready, so just AF which will be around 1st May, then off we go again! Oh joy!

Oh, my friend who did IVF said that shot is the only one that hurts. My sister who is a nurse will have to administer mine. My DH most likely wont be here during that time.

tella- im paying out of pocket. i get two great follicles on femara which costs 83. doesnt make sense to me to cough up thousands. plus i do not want multiples, not even twins

Its crazy how much more your injectables are there, ours is not even double. My IUI with Femara was $340 and with injectables it was $500.

But i understand not wanting twins, it is a huge task as a couple, doing it single will be very hard Hope you get your singular bfp soon!!!!

 

[notoptimistic]

Tells - I'm not on progesterone.. Still waiting for af 19dpiui!

Hi everyone. I seem to have been away from this thread for a while. Not sure if I updated on my March IUI, but it failed. I am scheduled for my follie scan on the 24th and if all looks good, 3rd and final IUI on the 25th. My doc says there's no point in doing more than 3 IUIs and that our only option after that is IVF which we can't afford so I am hoping and praying third time is a charm.
