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

[georx]

Congrats! I'm starting IVF this cycle after 3 BFNs after IUI + femara.

 

[Hopeful42nd]

Thanks for asking Nicker your good, I'm 17 weeks 5 days so Sunday is 18 weeks.
I feel like I'm getting huge all of a sudden, but I know it's not that bad, it's all in my head. I go on May 15th for my next ultrasound. I'll be able to find our gender too at first so much was different that I thought girl, now I'm not so sure. It's weird with my son I just knew, this time I'm clueless. I've finally gained back some energy now, sorry I've been quite hit or miss on commenting but to be honest I was just so bloody tired.
I am here though and I'm in all of your corners cheering on those BFP's! I need some more bump buddies out of you ladies.

Hi ladies! I really need some advice. I went in today (cd11) for my ultrasound and found that I have 5 possible follicles between 14 and 23 mm. Because the one was so big she wanted my to come in tomorrow morning for my iui. I am not able to because I have graduation for my master's degree. She is now having me trigger tonight and then go in on Sunday morning for the iui, although she said I will more than likely ovulate before then. I don't think I will because last month with 5 follicles over 20mm I ovulated at exactly 36 hours. Anyways, the problem is that she said my lining is thin at just over 6 mm. So I am wondering if I should even have the iui or not. Part of me thinks I've already spent a lot of money this month what's another $300 and the othe part says don't even bother. I would love to know what you ladies think about the iui. Aso do you think I have a chance with such thin lining? Thank you in advance for your thoughts.

PS: My RE said next month that she will not give me Clomid since it has made my lining thin.

 

[Nicker]

Miss_F - I'm not a doctor but I would think perhaps you might lose the 23mm before Sunday but Sunday sounds like good timing for the other four to me! I know that my doctor always gives progesterone suppositories to make your body make a nice hospitable uterus for implantation. Someone else will need to help me out here but I believe it is estrogen that some docs will give (??) to improve lining. I don't know how that works though.

Hopeful - So you are going to find out if it is a boy or a girl. That is so exciting!! A brother for your little guy would be nice but a girl might be nice for mom?

Thanks Nicker. I asked her today if there was anything I could do to make it thicker and she said no, although I have been reading that many doctors would prescribe estrogen for a few days to thicken it. I think I will ask her if she will at least give me progesterone after to help. I'm not sure if she will go for it though.

 

[Nicker]

My RE acknowledges that Clomid causes lining issues and that is why progesterone is important. He still prescribes progesterone without Clomid because it still helps make a hospitable environment. If I ever manage to get pg I will do progesterone for the dirt trimester.

 

[Hopeful42nd]

Hehe, I love computer mistakes and autocorrect blunders, the 'dirt' trimester, lol, well I did kinda feel like dirt for a while.

I'm happy with either one, boy or girl, I'm just one of those people who has to be prepared.

Miss_f- I would say its okay. A 6mm lining is passable but a big thin, but I know people who've become preggers on that. Also 36 hour timing worked for me are you going to take pregesterone? I think your lining may build a tad bit by tomorrow. It's totally up to you but I'd not throw away a cycle cause of that. If your doc thought it was a waste he wouldn't perform it in good faith, or least I hope.

 

[Nicker]

He he oops. You can tell when I post from my phone. When I look back I always shake my head and think man I look like an idiot.

 

[Hopeful42nd]

Not at all, for once it's not on me don't you remember my classic 'lab wiener' remark!

 

[notoptimistic]

Thanks Nicker, Hopeful42nd and Diliapickle. The iui went smoothly this morning unlike last time. They were able to get the catheter in right away this time. I've been having some menstrual like mild cramps throughout the day today, even before I had the iui. I wonder what that's all about? When I told the doctor that my lh shot up to 84.6 yesterday morning she seemed surprised and encouraged by that. I got 27 million fully motile sperm today from dh. Please, please, please let this be the one!!! I don't dare be optimistic - wouldn't want to have to change my screenname - too much of a hassle.

 

[diliapickle]

Good luck! Hope this is it for you! Could the cramping have been ovulation pains? Then the timing sounds like would be perfect! FX for you!

 

[Lou1234]

Hopeful I think the largest on Thursday was 15. I think I had a few last time at that stage but only one actually carried on to full size.

I'm really hoping that going on the theory that they grow about 2mm per day (I might be making that up but I'm sure I read that somewhere) that it will work out and I'll see my smiley face on Monday or Tuesday morning.

 

[Nicker]

That was a good one. LOL. There was the trigger shit too that made me laugh.

 

[Hopeful42nd]

Totally forgot that one. Nice

 

[L4hope]

Notoptomistic sounds like your IUI had good timing! Glad to hear it went smoothly this time.

Diliapickle how are you doing with the tww? I'm really hoping this second week goes fast for us!!

 

[diliapickle]

I have been doin ok the time is just dragging! How about you? Any symptoms or anything? I had a temp drop today which is really weird so not sure what that is about. I doubt implantation as I thought it would be too early for that so probably a fluke.

 

[L4hope]

The time has felt pretty tortuous for me too. Trying to keep busy though. No symptoms for me at this point, but I try not to think to much into it so I don't get my hopes up too much. The month I got pregnant I thought I was getting AF because of my symptoms. Just feeling tired...but I'm on progesterone suppositories. We'll find out soon and I'm really really hoping for some good news!!

 

[L4hope]

Oh and not too sure about the temp thing as I don't do BBT myself. It does say implantation can happen 6-10 days post ovulation so maybe it's an early implanter!

 

[miss_f]

I had iui #2 this morning. The timing was perfect because I started feeling ovulation pain right before. I also was able to get progesterone for the 2ww so I am hoping that will help with my lining. She did tell me that she had a patient a couple of years ago who had a successful pregnancy with a 6 mm lining, so I am trying to be optimistic. Thanks for everyone's advice. Let the 2ww begin!
