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

Hi All, I am sorry to not be commenting on here. I have (occasionally) been stalking it and I have been thinking of all you a lot. I have just emotionally been taking a bit of a break with all things TTC along with taking a break from the hormones. Doesn't mean I haven't been thinking of everyone and sending baby dust and thoughts to you all.

I went to the new RE today. She said my numbers from the first round of testing I did (in November) don't look great, but there is still a chance. I am on day 8 of my second cycle off. We are going to do one more IUI next cycle but do injectables along with the femera and start progesterone after the IUI instead of waiting for blood work on day 7. If this one doesn't work I am going to try IVF depending on how I respond to this month I am going to decide if I want to try my eggs or donor eggs. It's a lot to think about, I really want to have a baby with my eggs but that might not be in the cards for me. I still want to have a baby (regardless if it is with my eggs or not). <sigh> I'm hoping to not have to make that decision and that this next IUI works.

That said, I will still keep popping in and checking to see how everyone is doing but know I'm thinking of you all often!

Hi Elle,
I can't believe you have to pay so much out of pocket for your iui's! I've moved back to Australia after living in Vancouver for six years. The health system always seemed so much better over there in reagards to how much you get for what you pay. This is going to be my fist iui. I pretty sure that my dr. said it will cost approx. $700 and I will get $500 of that back from medicare (public medical). All my drugs (puregon, pregnal etc.), scans and bloodwork are also cover by that.

In regards to the trigger as far as I'm aware you ovulate 48 hours after the trigger. I guess they prefer you to have the trigger so the can pinpoint the best time to do the iui so that the sperm is sitting and waiting for the egg when it is released.

Hi all. I'm sorry I went missing and didn't come and update how I was doing. I had a bit of time away.

Our first IUI was BFN. Our hospital make us have a month off between IUI's so we had April off. My body decided for some reason that it wanted my cycle to only be 22 days long this time so we are now ready for IUI number 2.

We have a slight problem in that the ideal date for the IUI is Monday 7th which is a Bank Holiday and the hospital is shut. They have increased my Clomid dosage (which they were going to do anyway) as I only produced one mature follicle and I started taking them on CD2 instead of CD4 in the hope that I can have the IUI the Friday before the bank holiday weekend. If it doesn't look great then it wil be a case of 'timed intercourse' as she called it that weekend and no IUI.

I'd better spend some time catching up!

Hey Sam - yes, it is very expensive, and would cost me much, much more if I did it in Canada.

I just got off the phone with the IVF clinic here in Cancun, and I am VERY happy after having had our conversation. I have a bunch of test(s) I need to get done for them, and then we will start the process.... If I can get these tests for them ASAP, I can start IVF in 6-8 weeks!!! My only worry is that I am in Canada visiting family right now, and I am hoping my Dr here will accomodate these exams...Otherwise I have to wait for another cycle

I'll post on the IVF wall all the test(s) required so as not to overtake this wall.

Good luck to everyone, and I hope your IUI's are successful

I had blood drawn this morning to check my progesterone level and I just received the results. Yay! It is at 24.67 last month it was only 13.40. Doc says no need for progesterone cream this month. I truly hope this is a sign that even better news is to come.

Ladies, still stalking and praying for loads of BFPs. Having a hard time keeping up with this thread so I apologize if missed any special updates....

 

[Chiles]

Good Luck Blue eyes!!!!

AFM: I went in for u/s and blood work. I have tons of follies but I do not have the sizes, and my estradiol is 3901!!!!! I have to go back in tomorrow bright and early for more bloodwork and u/s. And probably agree to selective reduction if we proceed with the cycle. I will have to update you all tomorrow!!!!!

GoodLuck to everyone else!!!!!

 

[MommyMel]

Hcg1 !
What am I to think!

Boobs are still sore at 16dpiui! Strange but true, I am testing Sunday if no af by then ,
I just feel like crying at times, maybe my hormones again? Lol

That's GREAT!!

 

[Nicker]

Tella that is awesome!!!

 

[Hopeful42nd]

Good luck Chiles! Selective reduction would be so difficult if it came to that.

Tella- wow, good to hear. They only transfer two? I thought the norm was three. Ah well less chance at anything more than twins. Good luck! for a sticky bean, or two

 

[Chiles]

Now it all has changed. I have 3 choices which is convert to ivf (out of pocket), follicle reduction, and cancel. I have 5 mature and 14 smaller ones that can catch up....I have another appt in the a.m. for bloodwork, and u/s and to schedule follicle reduction, or just cancel. I dont know what we are going to do yet.

got us at work today. i now have something that is 1.2 cm on the right (had a 2.3 cm cyst on monday) it doesnt look irregular so im hoping it is a follicle and not a deflating cyst. had smaller ones on the left. we will see what happens. also got a sperm count on the new sperm that just arrived 28 million/ml, 50% motility, progression of 3
