DrSquid - Belated Happy Birthday!! It's so nice when we have caring doctors! Very sweet! I hope you have a fabulous egg cooking and your scan shows a good lining too! FX'd for you!

Nicker - I asked my doctor how long it took for the sperm to reach the egg after IUI and she said around 30 seconds. I also read somewhere how fast sperm swim/travel and the length of the distance between the vagina to the fallopian tube and I remember figuring it took them approximately 45 minutes to get to the fallopian tube from the vagina. So, I don't know how it can take hours for the sperm to get to the egg during IUI since they're placed practically right at the fallopian tube? Just interesting info.

Ummmm. I thought they like the sperm to be there before the egg is released so how does that happen?

Wow... I was away for a week and so much happens here!!!!!!!! I can't keep up!

How are you doing Nicker? We are TWW buddies....

After my first IUI which failed I promised myself that I would stay away from symptom spotting and reading into everything my body does... so far I have been successful

I am now 10 dpiui and I have not tested at all ... I am thinking of testing tomorrow morning though.. Hopefully the trigger will be out and I can get a BFP soon

OK, not egg, but fallopian tube. Sorry, I didn't word that quite correctly. Thanks.

It does help, thank you - it'll give me more time for my follicle to grow. Im am waiting for a call back today to tell me how to proceed.

Alright girls, I just took this test (11:45am) just to make sure the trigger was out of me. It is usually out in 6 days.
Keep in mind, today is 8 days after trigger.........and 6dpo.

I took the same test (at 7am) at 5 days after trigger and got a line that was similar to this.
The wrapper shows the sensitivity 10miu/ml. It is the same test, one with wrapper as background the other with a plain sheet of paper. What do you ladies make of this?

 

[Sully]

Hi ladies, I have a question. If I had an IUI on 2/24, should my left side still be hurting? And I am having an increased amount of CM. Sorry if TMI

Sully - Has your pain been constant since the IUI?? I don't get pain really, just mild cramps or tugging. What I do have much of is the CM and yesterday's was thick. Fingers crossed for you, for all of us here.

 

[DaisyQ]

adroplet, def see a line, but don't know what to make of it, with the trigger and everything. I guess I would test again in 2-3 days and see if it's darker...!

Sully, I am a newbie to IUI and meds, but if you are concerned over pain, it could be a cyst. I would talk to your doc about it so they can evaluate it during your next scan...

All I can help with is to say just timing the IUI correctly is of highest importance. It should be done within 6 hours of either side of ovulation for best results. Reasoning is egg only lives approx 24 hours and begins to break down after 12, and washed sperm will not live as long as sperm in seminal fluid would.

 

[Sully]

Thanks Adroplet and DaisyQ, at first I thought it was O pain. It has been pretty constant and mostly on the left. I've had some pulling around my belly button too. I do plan to call Md in the morning because I almost never have a discharge. Good luck to us all

Anything is possible. I don't think I have ever heard of a bfp at 6dpo though. I think it is pretty early. Also keep in mind sometimes ic only ever get a faint line. A frer early response has about the same sensitivity an mine still tested positive 8 days past trigger and wasn't completely invisible 9 days after trigger. I am thinking trigger. Sorry.

 

[adroplet]

I'm just all excited anyway! I will be testing in 2 days to see only one line OR see a darker test line..........who knows, right? I bought 20 of these thingies so I can go crazy and test daily.
