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

Thanks guys. Trying to chin up and shift my focus onto next cycle (cycle NINE - blech). Just want this to work eventually, wish I could know that it would for sure, it would relieve so much anxiety. After this BFN, I'm feeling more "agressive" than ever before. I am supposed to do one more IUI with clomid and then move onto injectables. I had been considering doing 2 IUIs with injectables, but now I want to move straight to IVF, if the first IUI with injectables fails (third IUI attempt total). I'm sick of the waiting, it's so painful. To make matters worse, I'm going to be out of town in April and July, which messes up 2 cycles. I am going to discuss it with my doctor and see what, if anything can be done, not to lose too much more time. I wonder, for example, if they can put me on BCP to delay follicle development until after I get back from vacation, then start stimming...??

Dear Daisy, don't give up, you have plenty of options! Consider yourself lucky they accepted you for IVF If I was a candidate for IVF, I would go straight for the procedure...Wish you luck and courage and great travels! Who knows, change of scenery, sunshine, some quality time with your husband - just might do the trick!
 
That's true... I think I need to see if we can do that. I hope I can get the meds quickly and easily (sometimes they need to be ordered special...) What cycle day do you usually start taking injections??

CD 3 normally, but depends, could do on CD5
 
Today is CD4 yesturday i start with letrozole2.5 (3-7) next friday i have a scan to check up my follicles is going to be CD10 i hope i dont miss ovulation this month. FX...IUI#2
 
Okay, the more I am sitting here, the more I am thinking I am feeling O pains on both sides. I honestly feel like crying. Not from pain but because I am so happy. 3 - 3.5 hours after IUI with a good sperm sample. This so has to work.[-o<

It will, dear Nicker!!! :happydance:
 
Tella- Good Luck at your scan Tuesday! Fingers crossed for good follicles! I’m glad I’m not the only one who is seeing pregnant women EVERYWHERE!! It seems to be my special power these days- finding every pregnant woman within a 30 mile radius! 

Nicker- I love your positive attitude. It helps SO much when mine falters! Fingers crossed this will be both of our month!!

One of14- I’m so sorry AF showed up! I know how devastating that is!

Usamom- I understand what you mean about the financing for IVF. Hopefully it won’t be something you need to do!

Daisy- I am SO sorry for your BFN. Are you going to change things for the next cycle?

Kinerie- Good Luck at your IUI tomorrow!

Froliky- Good luck with the substitute Dr. Hopefully this will be the time!

Haj- I can’t wait to hear how all your bloodwork and test results come out! Please keep us posted!

Mohini- Good Luck with your IUI!

Hays- Good Luck with your TWW! Fingers Crossed for you!

Bastetgrrl- How is your TWW going?

Isela- SO sorry about the BFN!!

Daisy- I’m sorry about the BFN!

BlueBird- Hoping for a BFP for you!!

MommyMel- When do you test?

Dilia- Fingers crossed all works out before your trip!!

Jchic- How is the TWW going? Been caught grabbing your boobs anymore? ;-)

Hopeful- How’s the little peanut?? How are you feeling?

DrSquid- Sounds like you are having an AMZING trip!!


I am SOOOO sorry to anyone I missed! I’m trying to get caught up at lunch. I hope everyone in the TWW is relaxing and not stressing too much, to those who have gotten a BFN- I’m sorry I hope your next try is the one that works, and for everyone getting ready for their next try- Hopefully this is it!

As for me, I am now 6 dpiui. My temp came up a bit from the dip I had yesterday. I’m still feeling very unsure. I am TRYING not to symptom spot, but I woke up with a runny nose yesterday and today (could be my class has given me a cold) and my nipples are super sensitive (sorry if TMI!). It could be that AF is on it’s way, but I am unsure. I go this afternoon to get my progesterone checked to see if my Dr wants me to start taking it. I also have acupuncture this afternoon and I can’t wait for that!

DEAR BABYONYOUROWN,
IUI was cancelled, as I ovulated two days earlier before the procedure. Normally don't get any symptoms but this month was all crumpy, terrible pain on both sides, back-pain..Called the clinic to ask what to do, they advised that we "have relations" right away, and to do scan and blood test the next day to confirm my ovulation. Poor hubbie almost missed his flight that day! He-he...Tests the next day confirmed that I was ovulating on my own indeed and it would be too late for IUI on Friday..Now we wait until 10th of April (FX!!!!!) before we can do the first test..Do miracles really happen???
I believe acu. really helps, so FX for you, darling!!!:hugs:
 
Alright dolls:)
No positive LH surge today- so its on to the trigger shot tonight! I can't help but feel really positive! We have our Iui scheduled Monday morning- I feel like the timing will be perfect! Totally have to have the hubby administer the shot- i get toooo nervous!

Fingers x'd for all of you in the 2ww!

It looks like we are! Do you know why your hubby was diagnosed with azoospermia? Ours happens to be a microdeletion on his y-choromosome...It was pretty tough, but now everyone's on board...and honestly, it doesn't really feel like ds anymore, because there's so much love and my lil hubby is really ready now, so I think that might make the difference! We're a lot more at peace with everything than we were during our first iui, so I think it might work out!

Ekk! Im excited for you! PUPO! let's do this :):thumbup:
 
I seem fine over the weekend during the TWW as I've got things to distract myself with but during the week when I'm at work I just can't stop thinking about it! Work is a bit quiet at the moment so I haven't got loads of things to keep my mind occupied.

I had cramps on and off for a few days after the IUI. A few days ago I started getting tingling in certain parts of my chest area but I know a lot of these can be down to the injection I had to bring on ovulation plus I'm taking progesterone.

I wasn't going to but I bought some ICs to test out the shot. I only started yesterday and seem to have caught the tail end of it. There was a very faint positive yesterday and I don't think I could see the 2nd line this morning. One week left until I officially know!

I am praying for your BFP, Nicker! That's such positive news. When are you testing?

To all those in the TWW - I am thinking of you too. I really hope someone gets some great news soon and has the long-awaited BFP that this thread so badly need!

To those who are waiting for AF or to ovulate - hang in there!

You will all me mommies soon!
 
I had three dreams I was pregnant. Last night I was holding a baby the whole dream. Had several people tell me they thought it worked and wham af this morning. I really don't think this is going to work for me. The timing couldn't have been more perfect.*
I am so sorry Squid. Is IVF an option for you?
 
I am praying for your BFP, Nicker! That's such positive news. When are you testing?
I believe I will start testing next Sunday which is April 1 and 11 dpiui. I am not stressing about it. am taking each day as it comes. Last cycle I felt so strongly that it worked but obviously it didn't. This cycle I don't feel, "OMG I just know it worked" rather I am feeling "The timing was right, the sperm count was right, now I wait to see if it worked"

If this round didn't work for me, I don't know if there will be a fourth and final IUI or not yet. Part of me thinks that we now have medication and timing figured out so the chances would be decent. On the other hand I think, if it didn't work this time with the conditions all being right, why would it work the next time? I will cross that bridge if and when I come to it. If I do have IUI #4 it probably would not be until May.

Fx for you!
 
Nicker- other than the sperm count (which is an annoying issue in the back of my head as I've not received a count any of the times despite requesting one). I know for a fact the timing was perfect this time. I did us before that showed follicles and us after that showed they were gone.so I'm sort of at this, I think I cannot get pregnant EVER place in my head. Defeatist? Maybe. Is ivf an option? Do you mean economically? Sure no problem. Timewise? Huge problem. I'm still pondering texting my
Doc tomorrow. I feel bad bugging him on his day off but I just don't know how I'm going to pull off getting and starting injectibles
Monday while sneaking away from work for an us and working 7:30-5
 
Oh and did I mention this period is the heaviest I think I've ever had. Always fun on a 6 hr plane flight. Bleeding through big time and that never happens.
 
i ask my dr for a stonger medication for this month because i see that i only had one follicle at CD12 of 15.6mm back in february and he didnt want to give me something stronger. I dont know if i need to start looking for a diffrent dr. any comments are welcome, thanks
 
Daisy > I know it is hard, believe me i also have my down days but they are luckily shortlived for about 3 days after my Beta but once AF start it gives me new hope that atleast i get a AF naturally and i dont have to worry about bringing it on with meds. And i find it motivates me, thinking about all the other things that i could be battling wiht like PCOS, sperm issues etc. I admire alot of the girls on here that still have so many more problems than me but yet they continue wiht this journey and if they can why shouldnt I? But that is my mindset.

keep your head up :hugs:

Bastetgrrl > tomorrow is your scan and tuesday is mine :happydance: Come on IUI, bring on that bfp's for us :winkwink:

Mohini > Good follie size!! Hope your doc gives your progesterone to help thicken your lining.

Fertilesoul > Your due date is on my grans bday and a day before mine :D

Cant believe you are almost in your 2nd trimester. Well depending on when you consider it obviuosly. Me personanlly root for 12 weeks, it just makes the first trimester stress less. :)

LouTTC > GL with the TWW, hope you have caught that eggy!!!!!!!!!

Pink Lolly > GL with the TWW, lets hope easter brings you some good luck and a bfp!!!!

Babyonmyown > So sorry you feeling defeated! From what i have read 10 is a desired number. I would demand progesterone from 1dpo the next time.

I must say i dont understand why you must take progesterone for the next 14days, if you get a + on a hpt by 14dpiui then yes i would continue with it but if not, there is no point in using it for so long as it will only make your LP 20days and that is insane.

froliky > GL with the inlaws there! I know i need a mountain of GL if mine where to come visit for a week :wacko:

usamom > I would also rather have waited till Monday. Fx'd for a bfp!!!

jynx > GL with your trigger, maybe put some ice on the spot, it helps wiht inserting the needle. Fx'd for a bfp in a 2weeeks time!

drsquid > Sorry about AF arriving. :hugs: I really hope you can get your injections in time.

isela > GL with the meds!!!! Grow follies grow!!!!

Kinerie > Hope you have caught that eggy!!!!!!!!!!!! And yes miracles does happen, you are one :winkwink: Look at my signature's last line.

jacquelyn > GL wiht your IUI!!!!! This is gonna be a great week for IUI success rates :winkwink:

AFM > Last injection today for me, Accu tomorrow morning and Follie scan on Tuesday. So hopefully trigger on Tuesday night and then IUI on Thursday.

Thanks Tella! I keep forgetting how hard the shots are but then feel strange when I don't do them if that makes any sense.
