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

[BlueBird2372]

what a day.... all started from a huge BBT - at only CD24!
that wasn't a great sign. then pre-menstrula symptoms kicked in around lunch time and AF showed its ugly face in early evening!!
This is the SHORTEST cycle I have ever had (normally 27-28 days) - and the shortest luteal phase (11 days only - while i usually have 13-14 days).
I wonder if it could be because of a trigger shot they made me use?? Or was it a failed implantation??
Any advice is much welcome!
Here is to my IUI no. 2 hopefully later this month - another £1,600 - ouch!
Best wishes to everyone here, I wish I had a bette news to share, I hope some of you will share some GOOD news soon!
Cheers
BlueBird

Oh Blue Bird, so sorry to read this

I had my first failed DIUI in December and it was so heartbreaking. Sending you lots of for cycle number 2! x

 

[Nicker]

I am officially on to cycle #3. We are going even more aggressive this time around. I am hoping that Sunday is cd1. Apparently this cycle I will do a cd2 u/s. The only appointment I can get next week is on Monday and then the doc is going to be away. I so hope 3rd time is the charm for me.

Thank you for your compassion... I didn't even get to do the test!! I was too "disciplined" and it was not due until Sun!

When is your next one? I hope it goes well for you...

Good news - I have paid for 3 cycles (including donor sperm) for the price of 2 at London Womens Clinic - so I am definitely going to get my money worth, I guess!!

 

[drsquid]

nicker- im so sorry *hugs* im also hoping 3rd time is a charm (for both of us)

 

[diliapickle]

Niker and Bluebird - Sorry it didn't work this cycle! I hope the next cycle is the lucky one for you both!

i peed on the opk even though i never get it to work for me.. today is day 12/13. greater than 2 cm follies so they are about ready to go.. trigger at 10 (previously he has said 8 so who knows). iui on friday at 10. im so paranoid about missing ovulation. i worry that ive ovulated early the last two months.. i read a blog post written by my doc talking about how important exact timing is so.. sigh, just wish i wasnt so down. i dont know what happened today. i was so happy this am then just crashed after my us even though the results were good.. almost wishing id done injections this month. thanks for listening

Ask your doctor if they will give you an us to see if you o already. That is how they can tell how the woman ovulates (early, average or late). Good Luck & remember the egg lives a while too.

 

[froliky2011]

I think if we are PUPO and get AF there should be a POOPOO sign. Good grief, we all feel like POOPOO when AF arrives and it makes me laugh at the annoying situation.

A lot of us are on to IUI#3 or have already started.....Yeah!! Moving forward is good!

Sorry to Bluebird!

Tella - I hope you are doing well. You seem very balanced. When do you test again?

Oneof14 & Daisy - You both sound like you had great IUIs! I love the count, Daisy!

Sorry if I missed anyone...dinner time. I so want a glass of wine....

 

[froliky2011]

Drs - I just saw your friend did an us! Awesome!

 

[Hopeful42nd]

So sorry Nicker what a rollercoaster you've been on. At least you have a game plan, an agressive one at that! I sincerely hope 3rd time is a charm for you!

Very sorry bluebird. I first hand know the pain of an IUI that looks promising but just doesn't work. It's hard to say the least.

 

[drsquid]

did an us at noon at work and they were still there. kinda frightened to do one now before i go home.. nothing i can do so i dont want to know.. just noticed i have stretchy cm which i rarely get.. (and dont think i saw last month). hopefully tomorrow am will be soon enough. supposedly eggs live 24 hrs and since they were still there at noon, and iui is at 10... heh.. so tempted to go see who is in us.. but that is craziness and will only make me worry more overnight

 

[mamadreams]

I am sorry for the BFN's Bluebird, Nicker and drsquid I really hope that the next time around you all get BFP's. Hang in there. It WILL happen.

For those in the TWW - I really hope we see some BFP's soon!

 

[froliky2011]

Stretchy CM is good!!! My egg was gone last time after IUI and I got a and I was sure I had o early that morning (very early) and did not have IUI until 10 a.m. It will be fine!!

 

[froliky2011]

DrSquid - It's too bad a friend of yours in the medical field could not do it for you when you needed. I don't think it's that difficult. My doctor gave me a catheter to try just to get it close to cervix though since I did not have washed sperm. I did not end up using it but it was nice to have the option if I needed it. You don't have to do IUI but at least get the in the vagina (near the cervix), especially with the stretchy CM, they love that stuff.

 

[trying hard]

Daisy that is just a guess at this point but a fairly educated guess, I have been on clomid (monitored with bloods) for 4 previous cycles and I usually O around day 14 on meds. I am on clomid again for the IUI and will be monitored through blood work from day 10 then a scan probably on day 12 depending on BW then in again I'm guessing 2 days later for the IUI.
Early is so good, much less waiting around being anxious!

Bluebird sorry the witch got you maybe take a b6 complex next month to help with the LP???

Nicker, drsquid Hopefully third time is the charm for both of you.

Froliky sounds good ,I may do the same tonight. We are having my parents and uncles and aunts over tonight. I hope no one mentions TTC because I am way to emo on my clomid to deal with that.


buckets of dust coming out to all of you

 

[drsquid]

froliky-heh wouldnt do me much good cause the sperm is frozen at the lab.. i mean they say you are supposed to do it 36 hrs after trigger... so.. i gotta figure that will work. im sure i could get a catheter though quite frankly i doubt i could do it by myself and i dont have anyone id want to do it for me.

 

[Tella]

Drsquid > I hate OPK's but I used IC for the lead up and when that was positive did í do a digital smiley to confirm. Always kept the urine in a small container just incase. But im not doing any whilst being monitored it is to stressful! But im happy that you havent O'd yet and your IUI will be perfect timing! GL with your IUI!!!!

BlueBird > im sorry! Did you use progesterone supplements? IF not I will ask my doc to give next cycle.

Nicker > So sorry, I really thought this was gonna be yours! I hope you can remain positive as it is a great help for all us other girls! I hope AF comes as planned so that you can have yur IUI this month!

Froliky > I give all the credit to the acupuncture. My beta is on the 13th so next Tuesday. How you keeping up with your TWW?

trying hard > I have decided if someone asks me a random question and don’t want to shut it after the normal reply of we trying, im gonna say, We don’t want kids. People don’t realise how sensitive the matter is and tend to prey and I think that will make them rethink asking again

AFM > 8DPO, still very normal, if you can call it normal Im off to the acupuncture session, im looking forward to them so much

 

[DaisyQ]

Hi all.

I'm so sorry about the bfn blueBird. I think progesterone supplements sounds like a good idea this time around - I'd ask about it.

Nicker, wishing you the best of luck this time around.

Tella hope we'll be hearing about your bfp in a few days.

Squid, good luck today.

Tryinghard, frolicky, everyone else,

Sooo... I'm frustrated. So as it turns out, I do not think I've O'ed yet. My temp is still low. And I TOLD them that I normally ovulate ~ 48 hours after my natural surge, but did they listen? No.

So I called, and I'm going in for another ultrasound to check to see if I still have mature follicles still intact. I will insist on another iui today, if that's the case. It's not their "protocol" to do back to back iuis, and I had to argue with the nurse about it, but I want to make sure I am giving myself the best possible chance. I am miserable on these meds, no coffee, booze, etc., going on 9 months now. !!!! Let's get this party started already. I'm afraid my doctor and the nurses hate me, but I feel like I have to advocate for myself and insist I be treated as an individual.

 

[Tella]

Daisy > Thanks, i believe it is coming

Im so sorry about the mix up wiht your Oing time! Hope you have already O'd and your progesterone is just not up enough yet to show a temp increases. Or if not that your doc will do a second IUI, i would definitely also demand on a second if they didnt listen to you!!!!

GL, this journey is stressful enough we dont need to deal wiht stuff like this.

 

[DaisyQ]

Thanks tella, I couldn't agree more. Waiting now to be seen - its a zoo!!
