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

[Hopeful42nd]

That's good Nicker, he sounds really open and honest with you, and positive about the whole situation. Its good he doesn't have a 'give up' attitude, although not everyones bank roll can support that, lol. I really hope the eggs are of good quality and you roll a seven real soon, cause snake eyes can be really disappointing.

 

[L4hope]

Nicker, glad to hear your appointment went well. It sounds like you are on the right track to get your bfp this summer!

 

[Nicker]

Hopeful, Don't I know it. I bounced back better than I thought would. Don't get me wrong, it still bugs me but I am not hopeless.

 

[drsquid]

nicker- glad you are feeling better. i was totally at the bottom after iui 3. decided i was only trying one more time, i was a failure etc. obviously i found out some other issues but.. i know the feeling. i dont have much hope for this cycle but.. itll happen for both of us

 

[daydream]

Got my 14dpo beta...

266

That's a 22 hour doubling time. Oh my oh my, looks like we might have a multiples situation.

Hopefully these levels will calm my nerves. I've been on edge all day. I won't have any other levels done. My scan is scheduled for May 3rd. Now if that could just hurry up, that would be awesome.

Daydream - that is awesome!! It will be May 3rd in no time

 

[Chiles]

Hey ladies!!! I have been gone for a while but now I am back. I am moving on to iui #2...sooo excited!!!

 

[mamadreams]

sorry ive been MIA ladies,

But just had the worst experince of my entire life. After my ruputred cyst, I went to the hospital on friday night and they told me I had a miscarriage but to get a fill check up on sat.
Sat I go back to the hospital and they told me its acutally a miscarraige AND an etopic, so they gave me metiaform to abort it and try and save my tube. Yesterday my pain was soo bad i honestly thought I was dying that had to go into emergency surgery to removed both my left ovary and tube and it ruptured.

Just got out of the hospital today and am not able to process this yet.....so in a matter of a week I had a cyst burst, misacarriage,, etopic and lost my left tube and ovary...dont know if i even have a shot anymore......

im just...i dunoo....in shock i guess. please pray for me

Equal - All I want to do is give you the biggest hug ever. In fact, you're in Toronto - give me your address - I want to send you something.

Great appointment with re today. I feel so much better. He said he has no concerns about ovarian reserve for me. He said I have the fsh of someone in her 20s and my afc was fine too. He said my response to meds was perfect last cycle. We both believe everything was perfect last time down to the timing but the thing to remember is that 75% of women don't get pregnant. That was my third IUI but it was my first COH cycle. He said that a recent study is pointing to 3 COH cycles having the same pregnancy odds as one IVF. That was promising for me. He said I have time to think and figure out when and how to make this work. He left it with people don't get pregnant not because it is impossible but because they give up.

Nicker - This is such good news! I am still pulling for you and can't wait to see your BFP announcement. Take the time you need to figure things out and relax a little. My AMH was 3.1 - low. Take care of yourself and treat your body like a temple - it will all pay off!

Daydream - Congrats! The weeks will pass quickly - I can't believe I am almost done my first trimester already. Multiples? Wow! I hope whether there is one or more in there that they stick and grow healthy and strong!

 

[DaisyQ]

Nicker, glad you had such a good appointment and you are feeling more positive about it all.

Daydream, holy cow! How many follies did you have?

 

[Chiles]

Hey Chiles! What's up?

Hey... I am currently cd 5 doing 150 iu of gonal f daily. I have a follie check friday, and another blood draw.

My cd 4 E2 levels were 53 which my nurse said is a good number. Especially with only one injection in me. So anxious this cycle

Thank I sure hope they go by quickly! And yes I agree, I just want strong, healthy baby[ies]

 

[daydream]

Daydream, holy cow! How many follies did you have?

I had three follicles. I looked at betabase, and they look close to the twin median doubling rates, though I'm also aware that rates can vary, so it could very well just be one, two OR three. Won't know until our scan. I just hope that there's at least one in there that hangs on until our scan.

 

[Hopeful42nd]

Daydream- with that kind of increase I'm sure one/two/three it'll be healthy. Can't wait to hear how it turns out.
Chiles- its nice to see you back. So did they decrease dosage this time in order to not overstim you? I really hope things work out okay fx

 

[moonhippie]

new to the group girls. We are using donor sperm...did 5 AI's at home, conceived and lost twins on cycle #2, moved on to IUI in feb/march (unmedicated) had a "chemical" the cycle we just finished. Actually my Beta was only 6, so a + but a low one, saw our dr today he doesn't even know what to make of that number. Decided to move on to medicated cycles since we only have 2 vials of washed sperm left from the donor we like. Anyone else doing a Femara 5mg/trigger/iui + endometrin cycle or something similar?

We had to take april off as we didn't see the dr till CD5, so hopefully we get started in about 23 days, i am nervous and excited. We were told we should conceive with unmedicated cycles...but things just don't seem to be going well.

They changed my protocol. I am a slow responder so when they cancelled my last cycle I had not responded yet. And I then started provera and went in for my cd 3 and had the cysts. The subtracted the femara and now I am just doing the gonal F. And being monitored closely.

 

[Nicker]

Chiles, so good to see you back. I saw that you were viewing the thread while I was posting that is why I gave you a shout out. I hope the new protocol works for you. So they are keeping the gonal-f the same and eliminating the femara. I am not familliar with either of them. Do they think that the femara was some how inhibiting the follies?

I hope IUI #2 works like a charm for you!!!

 

[Tella]

Nicker > for having ovaries of a 20 year old Atleast you know, you dont have to worry about running out. Hope the quality isnt a issue and the you get your BFP on no 4!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chillies > Welcome back, hope you respond well and get that ellusive BFP!

moonhippie > GL wiht your next cycle, fx'd for a bfp!

daydream > twins will be awesome but like you say as long as who ever is in there is healthy and happy it is all that matters!

AFM > Still in limbo waiting for stupid to show, but it will only be Saturday.

Equal so sorry for your loss! You are in my prayers!!!

I Have a question for donor iui ladies???? I am on my 4th iui with donor. The first cycle was natural, 2nd just trigger shot, and 3rd clomid 50mg and ovideral trigger. I'm wondering if I should switch donors for my upcoming cycle?? The donor I have been using does have pregnancies reported. The thawed counts have been between 10-14 million. Let me know if anyone has any advice as I need to order soon. Thanks.

Hi DDE, it was suggested to me after 3 DIUI's failed, that there may be a "compatibility" issue and we should select someone new, and that when they have seen this before the first go with the new donor is a success, that was enough encouragement for me to change!
