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

[Hopeful42nd]

I was just reading up that people with intolerance and mild allergies to gluten and dairy can have a higher rate of miscarriage, so I'd not be surprised if that answer is yes.

This is interesting https://www.webmd.com/infertility-and-reproduction/antisperm-antibody-test

Oh, oneof14, if you are worried about your lining, I have two recommendations. Estrogen patch and acupuncture. Maybe baby aspirin too

 

[notoptimistic]

Ash - My RE took 20 viles of blood back in January and I know some of the testing on that blood was autoimmune related.

Thanks for all of the responses! My mother was diagnosed with sjojrins (sp?) a couple months ago and now it's freaking me out because I believe it's genetic and I just don't understand why I haven't gotten pregnant. I'm just going to talk to my new doctor about testing for autoimmune stuff ... that's all I can do at this point. I especially don't want to go on to IVF if the autoimmune is going to effect that results!

Hey Daisy, thank you, I've been doing acupuncture 2x a week since January and taking baby aspirin. Is the estrogen patch something I can get on my own or do I need a prescription?

 

[notoptimistic]

Ash- I did a little internet browing for sjogrens syndrome and I found some sites that state that there has been no link found between that particular disease and infertility or miscarriages. However, some link to endometriosis may exist and that could interfere with infertility. Do you have any symptoms
of sjogrens like dry eyes and mouth?

 

[ashknowsbest]

Somtimes I have symptoms that are similar to my mothers, like very itchy skin! And sometimes dry eyes but I also wear contacts so who knows if it's from that or from an autoimmune disease. Thanks for the info though! I hope an autoimmune disease has nothing to do with my inability to get pregnant but who knows! All I can do it talk to my new RE about it and see what he says and then get tested!

 

[Nicker]

I am autoimmune (Crohns). Both my GI and my RE have said nothing about being autoimmune and infertility. My GI has had other patients have no trouble ttc.

 

[notoptimistic]

Oops .. I wrote that endo can interfere with infertility. I meant fertility. My mind isn't working right tonight. Is that a symptom of early pregnancy? I am 15 dpiui.. Hmmm..

 

[Hopeful42nd]

15 dpiui? No AF? Have you tested yet?

 

[Blue eyes 81]

Hi ladies,
I have my day 10 follicle ultra sound tomorrow and I am sick. My temp has not gone over 100.8 but today is the first day and who knows how long or how bad it will get. I am worried they may cancel my IUI. Have any of you been sick near your scheduled IUI and did they cancel?

 

[AMP26]

Beta test was negative but I was kind of expecting it. I'm upping my tamoxifen to 30 mg and I'm going to do 2 IUIs this month. As soon as my dr called I got af so I'll be going in for day 3 scan and bloods on Monday. On to 2nd IUI and cycle 41. Hubby and I agreed to try the IUIs for 4 cycles so I'm praying we get out bfp soon!!

 

[Hopeful42nd]

Sorry you got AMP
What timing does your doc use for two IUI's post trigger?

 

[notoptimistic]

Hopeful42nd- well today I am 16dpiui and no af but i'm not optmistic and frankly too scared to test. I'll test tomorrow morning if no af today.

Hey Daisy, thank you, I've been doing acupuncture 2x a week since January and taking baby aspirin. Is the estrogen patch something I can get on my own or do I need a prescription?

You'll need a Rx. I would tell your RE that you are concerned that one of the reasons you are having trouble is your lining being suboptimal, and gave him monitor it closely, and Rx the estrogen patch if it's looking thin.

 

[DaisyQ]

Notoptimistic, how long is your luteal phase normally?

 

[Hopeful42nd]

Hopeful42nd- well today I am 16dpiui and no af but i'm not optmistic and frankly too scared to test. I'll test tomorrow morning if no af today.

You should be able to know by 14dpiui for sure, so yes I'd definately test. Don't be nervous just believe its possible. When would you normally get AF?

 

[ashknowsbest]

Well I tested this morning 11 dpiui and negative. I'm pretty sure I'm out! Thanks for all of the support girls. I'm going to talk to my doctor about fertility and autoimmune disease and see if he thinks that could be contributing to me having a hard time conceiving. Best of luck to all of those still in the TWW!

 

[Hopeful42nd]

Don't give up just yet. Also it's perfectly normal for it to take 3 tries, sometimes more. This is just your second try at IUI now right Ash? Don't give up so soon!
