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

[L4hope]

Lucky people without fertility issues. They get to be blissfully ignorant to everything that it takes to have a healthy baby. Sometimes I wish I didn't need to know everything that I do.

 

[oneof14]

Agreed L4hope! I hate knowing everything with this process, 1. because I stress about things being perfect, 2. because I google WAY TOO MUCH!! Why cant it just happen.

 

[diliapickle]

Amp - Good Luck!! Hope this is it!

Ash - Sounds like things are moving along well for you! Hope you get your results in time so you can move forward!

L4 - Only takes one which I know you have heard but it is true and hopefully this is your one! Good luck!!

 

[L4hope]

Thanks dilia I sure hope so. If not I will prob try one all injectable cycle...and after that I'll be in the saving for ivf boat with you!

 

[diliapickle]

I will keep my fingers crossed for you that you don't need to join my boat and get your BFP soon!!

All Injectable is a good way to go!!!!!!! Hope you get your bfp!!! Gonal F did the trick for me, even with an cancelled iui!!!! Good Luck

Hi everyone, I hope you are all having fantastic weekends! Just a quick update, I went yesterday for a day 11 ultrasound after taking femera for 5 days and bravelle for 4. I have 3 good follicles and 3 almost ready follicles. I gave myself the ovidrel shot last night and I go first thing tomorrow morning for my iui. I am hoping that this time (#4) is going to be the one!

 

[diliapickle]

Good luck babyonmyown! Hope this is it for you!

 

[L4hope]

Very nice babyonmyown! Good luck. I just had my iui this morning and my second is tomorrow so I'll be in the tww with you!

[Step Mummy]

Hi Ladie, I have been MIA during my TWW, and although I have not made any posts, I have been keeping up to date!

It looks like I am facing IUI #5! I was convinced that this month was going to be the month, I have felt differently, I have not had my usual spotting 2-3 days before AF, I have been really exhausted over the last 10 days, and I have had no CM at all since IUI/O, which is quite unusual, and a few other little things. Yesterday (13DPO) I got a BFN on a FRER and was devastated. Ihad it all planned in my head, who we were going to tell first, what we would do etc. Today I now have a little discoloured spotting which I guess is going to lead to AF soon.

I can't believe it, it just feels like it will never work, we have again talked about IVF but we both feel that while I have no problems, IUI should work, its just a matter of time. We prefer to stick with the more simple and natural route of IUI, but we will review this if we fail number 5.

I have a glimmer of hope and am praying that evertyhing is wrong and I will get a late BFP, but we all know how this goes, and that it is unlikely at this stage, as much as we wish otherwise.

Oh well, we all keep plodding on for our quest for motherhood!

 

[Tella]

Tella -- I saw all your RE updates -- what a great doc you have! I'm so glad he is tweaking your plan to make it more tailored to your body. I have so much hope for you to have your March baby!

And thanks for thinking of me. I had my anatomy scan this week and its a healthy boy!

Congrats on the baby boy !

He is a great FS, wont easily change!

So I went in for IUI #2 part A last night DH did a good job with his part and we had 300 million pre-wash and wound up with 76 mil post wash. My doctor had a little bit of trouble with my "twisty" cervix, but he got them all in I was cramping in the waiting room before the IUI so I'm really hoping i O'ed either right then or soon after. I have IUI #2 part B tonight just as a precaution. FX this one works, if not we'll be moving on to injectibles next cycle then taking two months off. The girls I work with at my second job are calling the possible baby chicken little and I would love to be able to go in in two weeks and tell them that chicken little is real! They have been such a huge support to me and other than my Bnb pals, they have been my biggest cheerleaders.

Good luck to everyone else in the TWW or getting ready for the next cycle. I can't wait until we all have our BFP's

GL with the TWW!!! Fx;d for a bfp!

Amp good luck this month, hope it works for you. Then you can say I told you so to your mom! Unfortunately I think too many people just are uneducated about infertility and give advice anyways.

Afm, I had my appointment this morning. I only had one follie ready to go on the right, which kinda bummed me out. I was hoping to have two or three. The ultrasound tech said it only takes one good one, not three or four bad ones. So hopefully all the meds went in to making that one follie perfect for fertilizing! Once I get bloodwork back to confirm if I'm surging on my own or not I will get my game plan for the weekend.

1 does the trick! GL with the TWW!!! Fx'd for a bfp!

My mom said the same thing to me about nobody in our family having CF .. I read that the chances of someone carrying CF is 1 in 29 in caucasians so I think we'll be fine ... FX'd! That's all I can do for now!

How did you girls find out about being carriers? I dont know if i have been tested.

Sorry about the bfn It is really hard i know. But like you say there is nothing wrong so IUI should work and considering that a healthy couple can take upto a year to conceive, then 5 IUI-D's arent that bad. Fx'd that no more than 5 needed.

AFM > Im back on the IVF train, so meds start on Thursday.

 

[L4hope]

Very nice babyonmyown! Good luck. I just had my iui this morning and my second is tomorrow so I'll be in the tww with you!

Good Luck! Fingers Crossed this is it for both of us! We can commiserate about the TTW together!

Yes we can. It's always nice to have someone to share in the torture of the tww!!

 

[L4hope]

Step mummy I'm sorry you aren't going to get your bfp this month. It's such an emotional rollercoaster of hope and disappointment. But I agree with Tella that you should still have hope for the next iui given how long it can take a couple naturally trying to conceive.

 

[L4hope]

Tella good luck to you too! I hope your doctors have found the right "cocktail" for you to get your bfp!!

 

[ashknowsbest]

Tella - you just get blood drawn for certai genetic disorders. You should talk to your doctor about it.

How did it go this morning?

It went well...the typical twinge getting through the cervix and bloated and crampy today. Had our highest number today of 17.5 mil swimmers! Hopefully that helps to capture the egg!! How about you?

 

[BabyOnMyOwn]

Tella- Good Luck, hopefully your doctors have got it all figured out this time!

StepMummy- I’m so sorry this wasn’t your month.

AMP- Good luck with the TWW!

L4Hope- It went pretty well. I was feeling some twinges this morning before the IUI then today I have been crampy and bloated as well. I’m hoping that those are all good signs. Guess time will tell. The numbers this time were pretty good. . . I don’t remember all of them though. I start using progesterone on Wednesday. Will you be using that too?

How is everyone else doing? I hope everyone is well and had a great weekend!
