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

[Hopeful42nd]

us showed lining is 8.3mm (or so) got two 2.something eggs on the right, two small and unlikely to mature ones on the left.. so overall not as good however last time there was one giant one and 4 small, this time both are likely to go. trigger tonight for friday.. i think im totally doing us tomorrow at work cause if i see fluid around the cyst or it collapses, im so going over there to do the iui tomorrow..

2 mature follicles over 20 and a good thickness lining shouldn't be disappointing! That's wonderful news! I did my IUI same protocol trigger at night and IUI 2nd morning after (36 hrs) good luck!

Thanks MrsC - It's good to know you are still supporting us even though you don't post much.

Hopeful42 makes sense to me Drsquid. It did not sound bad to me either. Most women on these threads would give a lot to have those results. You have a lot of good things going for you.

I have a quick question...

You ladies that post pictures of yourselves..you are not worried someone might recognize you? I am so worried someone might recognize me. It's such a small world and I would be a little embarrassed but I guess that is just me. I know I should not care but whatever.

I thought the same thing at first, but then realized, WTH. I dont post anything that I should be embarrassed about.

I do check in on you ladies now and then. I should post more and I'm sorry I don't... sometimes I feel a little lost because we are in the waiting period. You ladies are all very active on here and it is so great to see you all supporting each other.

I hope everyone in the 2ww is doing good and others in the waiting process are staying sane. It seems like all everything is all about waiting and thats the hardest part. Good luck on the IUI's ladies and fx we see more BFP's in here very soon!!

and to all!!

hope you dont mind me posting here, I am due to go for my IUI appointment Saturday, i have had all of my bloods, etc... what are the chances of them starting me on IUI this cycle, as i will be CD1 Saturday? Its NHS, so dont no if it differs?

Also i want to push for a trans vaginal scan before i start IUI, do you reckon they'd do it there and then Saturday if i beg lol I hear through a friend of mine who had IUI that they like to do these scans when your on your period, so would be perfect timing, just not sure they'd do it for me last minute?

Thanks

MrsC - You're feeling "In Love"..... Awwee!! Cute. Thanks for sticking around. It's always nice to have more friends during this process.

Oneof14 - Well, I guess my situation is a little different with the known donor etc. I want to protect the child too. Just not comfortable with the whole world knowing my situation.

Absoutely, each situation is different. You go with what you feel. BTW, I am a little upset I cant get acupuncture until Monday. I kind of wanted to go tomorrow after IUI to relax me. I guess I will just have to do that on my own.

I am not sure what NHS is... My doctor always does an ultrasound ("us") before IUI.

 

[DaisyQ]

Going for accupuncture on Friday, one day after the IUI... I am scheduled to go again the following Thursday, one week after the IUI, but wondering if I should push that appointment up and go on Monday...hmmm...

I have news for ya, even after the bfp the waiting doesn't end. You wait for beta results, then you wait for the first scan, then you wait until the scary first trimester is over. We are definately being taught patience through this whole process!

I too have no clue what NHS is. Most fertity specialists do a baseline scan on CD 3 to check for cysts. If none you start a follicle stimulater. Then CD 9-12 (it varies depending on doc) you do bloodwork to test for surge and vaginal ultrasound to see the follies growing. My doc had me come back ever day for bloods and every other for vag US.

Go for a massage for relaxation if you can get in quickly

 

[Hays :)]

Thanks ladies,basically its free,so im not paying. Its done on the free national health service.

 

[drsquid]

nhs is national health service in the uk..

i know they are good in the grand scheme of things but it was the same last month and nada... just feel like it isnt going to work (hopefully it is the femara talking). already pondering injectibles etc.. at least i have fun tormenting my doc. made his nurse laugh so hard she ended up blushing.

Maybe I should!

I know how you feel Dr. Squid - when it doesn't work, you feel like it's never going to work - I've been feeling that way the past few months, TTC naturally. Just do keep in mind that the overall, cumulative success rate for IUI is ~ 40% over the course of 3-6 cycles, so I would definitely hang in there for at least three cycles. I believe the success rate per cycle is about 14-15% when you have 2 eggs, more like 20-25% with 3 eggs.

What does your doc say? Mine wants me to do 2 clomid/trigger/IUI cycles, then if it doesn't work to try at least one more IUI with injectables. After we've done 3 total, we will discuss if we should do another IUI or move onto IVF.

MrsC - You're feeling "In Love"..... Awwee!! Cute. Thanks for sticking around. It's always nice to have more friends during this process.

Yes hubby makes me feel that way all the time. I have to soak it up before he leaves again. Although I always feel "in love" with him!

Hopeful you are so right... the waiting never ends!

 

[haj624]

Hi Ladies...I am quickly going to catch up right now. I need a mental break and to be with my TTC ladies. (Mental health moment)

Isela - I am so sorry they missed your o. I can't believe that! I hope you have a great April!!! Maybe Easter season will bring you great eggs.

Adroplet - So close to knowing the verdict...drum roll......It sounds like you are making a happy womb for implanation and fetus.

Nicker - Sorry about the The limbo is tough. At least once you know you can move forward and strategize for a better IUI next month.

Daisy & Oneof14 - Yeah!!! TWW with us now!! Sounds like you both had successful IUIs. I hope the cracks the eggy!

Haj - I hope you are doing well and taking care of yourself as you prepare for a new strategy.

Tella - Halfway through....and almost over the hump.

DrSquid - I hope you had a great scan & are growing a good quality egg/follicle.

Hopeful42 - Enjoy your pregnancy. Sorry you're not feeling well, but it's all for a great cause. I smile when I think about your approx. 8 week old little beany.

AFM: I am a little more than 3dpo and started the progesterone suppositories yesterday. I am drinking a glass of grapefruit (fresh only) in the morning and having some red rasberry leaf tea (a few cups) during the day. I am taking iron supplements and prenatal vitams and have my acupuncture (I call it my heroine session..because I feel so content and happy afterwards and needles are involved) tonight. I don't have any symptoms. It's been crazy few days. I just bought a new car and had to do a bunch of stuff so I have not had time to get on the internet etc. much. But, I missed you and needed to just hang with

to us all!! too!!

Thanks love!! Just waiting right now. I finished my last bloodwork on Saturday (23 VILES!!) and the doctor said it would take about 2 weeks to get everything back.

 

[Hopeful42nd]

Haj- 23 vials????? That's crazy. And we all thought the 9 for IUI were bad, lol.

 

[drsquid]

he hasnt really said.. i did one unmedicated. this is my 2nd with femara. when i did my cycle day one us he said that i had a good number of antral follicles so i could consider injectibles. id likely go to that next for a round or two. it is all out of pocket but im just not sure yet how i feel about doing ivf, not because of any ethical or money issues but more the time etc. since im single this really is only cycle 3, not 1 yr plus cycle 3. now im jsut paranoid about getting a surge (that i can enver seem to detect) prior to the trigger and ovulating too early or something.

 

[vjpfeif]

Ladies i am going crazy in the tww. Today i almost bit my dhs head off for nothing. I have been testing out and today was first day trigger tested negative. I am officialy 5 days post o. I have a cold that started yesterday [IS THIS A GOOD SIGN?) and still have cramping on and off. Trying to keep my head up but totaaly going nuts.
