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

[daydream]

notoptmistic - What is the next step? Is your dr going to see you and see what's going on? Would they do a beta?

Casper - GL to you! For us, IUI #3 was the one. What medications is your dr doing for this IUI?

 

[notoptimistic]

Daydream - they think there's no need for bloodwork bc I'll probably get my period. The nurse was doubtful that I could be pregnant bc I got a bfn on a hpt on day 16. I just left the nurse a message because I'm concerned why my lute Phase is so long. Last cycle I wasn't on any meds and I got my period 19 dpo. Now I'm 19dpo and no sign of af. I told the nurse I just want to make sure she's communicating this to my doctor.

Ok just got back from the doctor. We will do one more IUI and then move to IVF if the 4th time doesn't work. Doing clomid and bravelle again. So fingers crossed this works because if we have to do IVF we will have to take at least 6 months off to save for it!

 

[L4hope]

Tella good luck with all of your injections. I'm starting on some this month and dreading it!

AFM had my appointment today which was very overwhelming. I knew we prob wouldn't continue with clomid, but hearing all of the injections and the cost was a lot to tale in. But, since I do respond to clomid and did get pregnant on it once they said we could do an in the middle step. So for this month only I will be taking clomid for cd 3-7, low dose Follistim injections starting cd8(not sure how long), ovidrel trigger, then IUI. If this cycle doesn't work I'm not sure what we'll do. My husband isn't to keen on the cost of the injectables for only a 30-35% chance. I'm just hoping this will be my month!

Hi everyone. I seem to have been away from this thread for a while. Not sure if I updated on my March IUI, but it failed. I am scheduled for my follie scan on the 24th and if all looks good, 3rd and final IUI on the 25th. My doc says there's no point in doing more than 3 IUIs and that our only option after that is IVF which we can't afford so I am hoping and praying third time is a charm.

Hi Casper!!

I wish you SO much luck - I am almost in the same shoes as you...I have one more shot at IUI if this doesn't take...I just have a feeling it didn't, and I'm only a few days piui.... Not sure if we can afford IVF for awhile as we have ZERO coverage for infertility....

BEST of luck - I hope you get many follies, and that one is a sticker!!!

Thanks you too! I am right there with you on zero coverage so I hope these last attempts at iui work for us! Tons of dust to you too!

Hey Chiles - I was on it the last time as well!! This time around I started 3rd day of mensies, and cont'd for 11 days in total at 75 mg. After the OHSS the month prior we had to be very careful!

I hope I'm okay after this cycle as he wants to up my dosage for IUI #3.....

How about you??

 

[Chiles]

My 4th cycle we did Femara7.5mg, and gonal F 75iu and I responded very slow. They cancelled my cycle on cd15....so I took provera and when af came I went in for my cd 3 u/s and I had 8 huge follicles from 19mm-26mm that we later found out they were cysts. This is my first full gonal cycle. I started off on 150iu cd 3, they upped me to 225iu tonight. Monday I had 12mm and some smaller ones, and I will find out today how i have responded since then. I can easily ohss because I do have pcos. So I am pretty nervous.

 

[Nicker]

Fx for you chiles!

Thanks Nicker

There is not many of us that get to do go four of IUI, I don't know if it is because everyone goes onto IVF if it doesn't work after go 3, or just that for most IUI's work before then?

We are using a Donor and changed donors for this go, as the hospital suggested it could just be that we were incompatible and they have seen go 4 work for many people when they select a new donor. They said there is no reason IUI does not work for me so just keep on trying, I am not keen on IVF for many reasons but if we have to I will do it. If necessary we are going to do a go 5 with IUI as that gives two attempts witht the new donor, then consider IVF for go 6 if it gets to that - I hope not!

So fingers crossed for us both that go four is the one!

notoptimistic > That is really strange, I think you might be preggers and like someone said there is ppl who never gets a + hpt. Till when do you have to wait for Beta again?

Casper > So sorry about the failed IUI!!! Fx'd that it is third time lucky for you!

dillia > GL, keeping everything crossed for you!!!!

L4Hope > Injectables help a lot with the quality of your eggs as well and therefor the increase in chances. I will keep praying for a bfp this cycle.

Ellemar > Fx'd for a bfp this month!

Chiles > Fx'd for a nice follie today and no OHSS!!!

AFM > Not much, 2 more injections down. 8 to go! Starting to get headaches and being emotional at times. DH was beyond sweet last night. He went for a massage whilst I went for Acupuncture, and when we got home he just gave me a hug and I started crying. There is just a lot im trying to sort out before my transfer. So he tells me to go fetch my pillows and lay on the couch and relax. So I go to the room and as I pick my top pillow up, there is the cutest teddy ever that he bought for me. Then the tears started rolling properly. He didn’t even know I was upset before the time but yet he just knew

Just starting taking my clomid for my 1st IUI, no side effects as yet! I've got my mepour inj to have twice this month then a scan to see how my follicles are progressing. I've got no date as yet to have the hcg or insemination until I have the scan. Does anyone know possibly how long after the scan that their other half has contribute? I started taking clomid on 16th

GL wiht the rest of your clomid, im also on menopur and i dont really get heavy symptoms from it. A slight headache every now and then but it can also be from the computer.

I did my scans on CD11, trigger that night and IUI 36hrs later and then DH must go wiht you. He gives his sample and you come back in a hour or two for the IUI. Good Luck!

 

[Blue eyes 81]

Went for another scan today and I have two follies one at 18 and one at 19. So it looks like back to back iui's tomorrow and Friday. I am not sure why but I am much calmer and much more optimistic then the last round. Hopefully this cycle works or we wait until January when I can get on my HMO at work.
I am hopeful this will be the month full of bfps for all of us.

 

[Tella]

that is two great sized follies!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fx;d you catch that eggy and get a bfp this month!

 

[L4hope]

Tella how sweet of your hubby! It really does help to have that support and understanding that our emotions can be all over the place right now.

Blue eyes it looks like two great follies!! GL with your iui's. Hopefully you can get a bfp this month!

AFM my lovely AF arrived yesterday so onto the next round! Start clomid tomorrow, Follistim next Tuesday and CD9 scan on Wed. Really hope this will do the trick!
