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

I did Femara (my RE prefers that because it has less side effects than clomid). My first cycle I did get two follicles, but then the second I only got one. She didn't like how I was responding to the Femara, so that's why she suggested the gonal f.
 
Oh ok. I was just curious because I did 3 cycles on clomid and they didn't work even though I responded well so now were moving onto injectables.
 
So I do not know what to think.....:shrug: I saw my doc yesterday for another consult because I wanted to jump from clomid to injectables. He did an ultrasound first and I ovulated already this month and still have at least 5 follies on each side most being around 15. After that he told me he wants me on clomid this cycle because I have so many follies and he worries that injectables would guarantee a multiple birth. I am concerned because this will be my 5th round of clomid. The first bfn the second bfp but miscarried :cry: 3rd and 4th bfn. I am starting to wonder if clomid is going to get me pregnant again which is why I wanted to try injectables. If you were in my situation would you push for the injectables or trust that the clomid will work?
 
Blue Eyes - That is a tough decision. I think it also depends on how comfortable you are with the risk of multiples. Is there a way to do a lower dose of injectables maybe? I actually did a clomid and injectable cycle which gave me good follicles (still was BFN but that is due to bad swimmers). Good luck as you work through this decision!

AFM - just got back from my doctor consult for IVF. It will cost $14,000 so we will be taking a break to save and go for it in October. I got my whole protocol today though which was nice though just got me excited and ready to do it now! Dang insurance not covering anything! But at least I have a plan now and maybe it will be a blessing in disguise to have the summer off.
 
I feel like the injectibles in general work better just because your lining is not as depleted like it can be with clomid. There's going to be a risk of multiples with clomid or injectibles, so I don't know why your dr would be afraid of that. Just get monitored early to see how many follicles are growing. Mine were ready to trigger at CD9. Injections worked for me, so I obviously support them ;)
 
well I hope injectables works for me too, my lining was always GREAT on clomid. This last cycle it was 12mm
 
Hey ladies just stopping in to remind you all that I will have my u/s tomorrow so I will be sure to update you all. And I will stick around to root you all on....:dust:
 
Hi All, I got home from the hospital a little while ago. My brother and sister in law just made me an Auntie again today. I got to take my almost 2 yr old niece to meet her baby sister. Super sweet and I'm very happy for them, but also a bit jealous.

I got a call from the RE yesterday that the cyst wasn't one to worry about so I started the Bravelle today. Just gave myself the my first shot. I go in Saturday for an us and bloodwork to see how many follies. I'm hoping the 4th IUI does the trick.

Good Luck today!! I can't wait to hear how it goes!
 
Babyonmyown, it's hard not to feel a little jealous when you've been trying for so long. I'm battling with going to our friends first birthday party for their son. Of course the party is two days after my bloodwork for thus cycle. Obviously if it's positive I'll be fine, but if not I'm not sure I'll bd able to go and not cry! Anyways...glad to hear your cyst isn't getting in the way with moving forward this month!!
 
Babyonmyown & L4 - Good luck for your next cycles! I hope they are the ones to get you that BFP!!

Chilies - can't wait to hear how doctor was!! :)
 
I just got a call from my doctors nurse because a couple of weeks ago I got blood drawn tO test for certain genetic disorders and the results are in and I'm positive for cystic fibrosis. I'm sad about it but not too mix because if my OH doesn't have it were fine but if he does come back positive for it then we will have to do ivf so they can test the eggs for it before they transfer them back to uterus. Ah it's all crazy. So if he's positive we will most likely be canceling this IUI cycle since we don't really want to bring a child that will suffer into the world.

Ash- I'm sorry about the minor setback. But its just that!!!! a very minor set back!:hugs::hugs:
 
Yeah I know it just seems like one thing after another lately!!! But I know if he doesn't come back positive all of this stress is for nothing so im trying to not get too stressed out yet.
 
It was only one baby!!!! sorry for not updating you all earlier
 
Wow! Bummer it's not twinnies, though I know I had a huge sense of relief when I found out it was just one. One healthy little baby is all we can hope for :) Congrats!
