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

[diliapickle]

Tella - That is wonderful news!! FX for you!!

Chiles - Good luck with your decision making!!

AFM - had my check in today with the hope of triggering and instead found out that not much has happened. So had to take a shot of gonal F today and then trigger tomorrow with IUI on Sunday and Monday. Though I feel like the monday one is so late at 44 hours post... but the Saturday one is 18 hours post trigger so who know! This is last chance for this so I just pray it works!

 

[Blue eyes 81]

Tella that is great news! Good luck on Monday.

 

[Hopeful42nd]

Dilla- it takes time to cook up perfection, good luck with the IUI's!

 

[Blue eyes 81]

Good luck Dilia.

oneof14 > Thanks so much, they must to be strong like bull

babyonmyown > Thanks

nicker > Thanks How you keeping up?

Hopeful > My FS wont transfer more than 2 for the first IVF at my age. But im happy with that, Im happy with twins but not triplets, Im not build big, so will be on bed rest very early.

Chiles > Is IVF financially not an option? Considering you have responded so well, it would be a shame to loose those follies. How do they do Follie reduction? Can you mabe freeze those eggs?

drsquid > Fx'd for you!

dillia > Thanks Just remember your egg is still viable for 24 hrs after O, so don’t give up!!! Bring on that BFP!

Blue eyes > Thanks, I cant wait to be PUPO with twins!!!

AFM > I actually feeling human again today. Can move and don’t need a warm water bottle on me anymore. It is a long weekend here by us and I feel so bad for wishing it by but I cant help it, just want Monday to come now.

I must say, im happy with only 1 update. Otherwise I will stress to much about it. The acu lady said I have so much tension on my stomach from the nerves, so she treated me a lot for stress today.

 

[DaisyQ]

GL with your decision chiles.

Squid, what did you decide about your iui? Natural one?

Tella, awesome news lady.

Oneof14, how is it going? What's going on with IVF? I just started bcp this week.

 

[oneof14]

Tella, that is hysterical. Your embies will become blasts in no time!!

Daisy - I am doing good actually, I am taking this month off because of the timing of the IVF class etc, (which is a mini relief that I don't have to worry about follies, lining and my hubs sample). So May 1st, I go to the class, see the psychologist (which is mandatory in my clinic) meet with the doctor, I assume for the uterine mapping and my hubs gets his boys frozen, in the event he will not be here for the ER. I suppose I will start everything when I get AF in the middle of May. How long do you have to be on BCP? How was your trip? I hope you had a wonderful time and your nice and relaxed!!

 

[Chiles]

Just got back from the RE...waiting on my E2 numbers and they will decide on what to do. What they mention at my appt that I will probably trigger tonight and come n for the follie reduction and iui monday. They consider my case "special" which makes me feel a little better. I have like 8 that are consider mature now ranging from 21-15mm and tons right behind it. I never got my e2 results from yesterday but thursday it was 3901.

@tella ivf is not an option for us this month. My new insurance will cover ivf but that's not til next month. I hate to waste these many follicles as well. With follicle reduction they have to stick a needle through the vagina somilar to egg retrieval but I think the drain the follicles or something. I don't know how many we are going to reduce it to though. Find out later today.

Dilla-Thanks and Good Luck to you too!!!!

Goodluck to everyone in their cycles. Wish you all the best and hope we all get some soon!

 

[Tella]

Thanks oneof14 Enjoy your month off!!!! Once you start with the IVF, it is even more of an rollercoaster. I thought it will be a piece of cake to do it, but i must confess it weighs alot more on your shoulders than what we think.

Same goes for you Daisy!!!! Not sure if you guys do acupuncture, but if you dont i suggest you start asap! Go read up on the German study on acu and see the big difference in results.

Chiles > Im so sorry your insurance wont cover it this month. Considering you save so much on everyhting else. I hope it is painless and that you can continue wiht the IUI as planned. GL

 

[Tella]

@Chilles, i just looked at my IVF account and the ER is not expensive its the culturing that is, cant they just retrieve them and freeze them for use wiht your next IVF?

 

[Chiles]

How much if you don't mind me asking?! I never thought about the ET, I just always considered the whole package.

 

[Tella]

My egg retrieval was around $500 incl clinic costs and doc costs, but our costs are about half of yours so i would guess about $1000 for the retrieval

 

[oneof14]

thanks Tella, I would imagine it is stressful and nerve racking. I too am going to acupuncture to deal with some of it. I think it has helped.

Chilles, good luck, I hope this is the month you get your BFP!!!

 

[drsquid]

tella- fingers crossed

daisy- dunno yet. monday at 10.30 i get us.. and then ill see.

 

[drsquid]

hrm so i just looked again at the sperm analysis.. noticed they didnt give any info on morphology... and the ph was high (apparently seen in the setting of infection) and the wbc count was 3 which is also high and suggestive of infection. apparently often prostatitis (which wouldnt cause me a problem ). but my question is whether it is likely to be less fertile. id be using a washed sample. i dont know if those factors are issues only if you are trying to get pregnant the old fashioned way.. i guess i have to ask the doc on monday.

 

[Hopeful42nd]

I'm sure seminal fluid would affect the sperm, especially if infection is present. Ah well another reason that doc should have tested the friggin samples in the first place.

 

[drsquid]

no no, this is the new sperm.. that is why im worried

 

[Hopeful42nd]

Oh, hmm, well that is interesting. I'm sure the doc would be able to figure it out

 

[drsquid]

basically they gave me the info from the original donation (would appear they do a count, freeze it, then defrost a vial the next day and count it). numbers on the one they defrosted for me and the one they defrosted immediately were pretty much identical which is nice. the wbc etc was all on the original semen

My trip was awesome. Just so good to get away. And drink a few piña coladas!

I'll be on bcp for about three weeks - until may 15. I will start Lupron on May 9. The stims will start sometime after that, and egg retrieval will be at the end of may or beginning of June. Looks like we will be cycling together again!
