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

[notoptimistic]

ash - I've been ttc since July 2010 if you count the miscarriages as part of that time period. I got pregnant right away in July 2010, first cycle trying but then had the mmc and a d&c first week of Sept 2010. Then I waited for one period and got pregnant again first cycle trying and had the mmc in January 2011. Since January 2011 I haven't been able to get pregnant again.

By the way, when the nurse was instructing my husband and I on injections, she recommended the 1 inch needle for the ovidrel trigger shot (intramuscular) rather than the 1.5 inch one that she knew the pharmacy would give me. She sent us home with a one inch to use instead of the 1.5 inch. She told me that one inch should be sufficient for the shot in the butt unless I was heavier than I am. I weigh about 125lbs. Perhaps you should ask your doc if a 1 inch needle would suffice?

I asked about the inch needle and they said no, it won't reach the muscle, it has to be the 11/2 or 2 inch needle that they gave me. It won't be that bad really. So many girls do it I'm sure it doesn't hurt that much or people would refuse. But thanks for the idea!

Oh and I'm so sorry to hear about your miscarriages. I've never been through one so I don't know how it feels but !

I didn't find the pio shots hurt to give anymore than any of the others. Unfortunately I was allergic to the shots and within an hour or so I couldn't walk. But the actual shot itself and that first hour was no biggie. Lots of people swear by warming the syringe (put it in a cup of hot water) and using a heating pad right after. Crinone is far more expensive and also gives you more peaks and troughs in your levels. In addition apparently it doesn't register in your blood as much as the shots cause it goes direct to your uterus

Is anyone testing soon? My bloods are on July 11...but ill be 17dpiui. I dont know why they make us wait so long.. im hoping ill to see something on the test this fri

 

[notoptimistic]

Thanks ash! I'm going to ask around about the 1.5 inch needle vs 1 inch. The nurse said 1 inch was ok but I'm going to check with one of my doctor friends.

 

[Moorebetter]

Looks like my first IUI was a no go- on to the next IUI looks like I can start testing July 30th

Does anyone take anything as far as vitamins other than prenatals?

 

[Tella]

GL to all the ladies still taking meds waiting to trigger, fx'd that the ones that has done their IUI's get their bfp's shortly!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[AMP26]

MooreBetter- I also take folic acid. I forget how much, but I know it's 3 a day.. maybe 1200?

Tella & Equal: Can't wait till you test!

AFM: I go in for my Beta today, still no AF but I'm on progesterone, so I think that keeps it away. I haven't tested since Monday, so I guess anything's possible!

 

[Tella]

Fx'd AMP

 

[Hopeful42nd]

Good luck AMP!

I took prenatals for a long time prior, and an omega 3-6-9 combo.

 

[drsquid]

tella and equal- fingers crossed

vitamin- been taking "one a day women's prenatal" which is actually 2 pills,. one is a multivitamin and one is a dha/epa supplement

afm- i got nothing. just crazy crazy tired. ate too much yesterday which was most uncomfortable. stomach is not happy today. got progesterone rechecked today (it was still high monday so they told me to stop supplementing and get rechecked today to see if i can stay without supplement, fingers crossed,).

 

[daydream]

FX for you AMP!

drsquid - I hope your progesterone levels stay good w/o the supplements! That would make things so much easier for your first tri

afm - got to love the random mornings when you're 16 weeks, so should be past morning sickness and vomit in the sink while brushing your teeth :-/

 

[diliapickle]

Moore - Sorry this one didn't work! FX for your next one!

AMP, Tella and Equal - I have my FX that you both see a beautiful BFP soon!!

 

[Hopeful42nd]

Hey ladies, I have lots of news.
Tonight we sign papers and we've bought a house! Will be moving 8 or 9 months preggers, but oh well, I'm so happy!
Had my first OB appt today. I'm all systems go for VBAC, so here's to hoping all works out! My doc is lovely, very positive and explained everything honestly and very well in terms of risks, monitoring expectations, and red flags that will cause another c section. Fx

Daydream, I'm 26weeks 4 days and am still puking in the sink from brushing. But luckily that the only time I get sick!

Drsquid-fx your levels are okay and it was just the suppliment causing it.
Time to change yourself from ttc I think

Equal, Tella, Amp -

 

[drsquid]

hopeful= heh high progesterone is apparently no biggie. doc said when you do the shots it can be in the thousands. i just need to make sure they dont drop low now that im several days off. heh and yeah gotta change my status i guess.. until i see the heartbeat though...
