Drs - I have my f'xd for a BFP for you!!

 

[Hopeful42nd]

Don't be scared! And it's hard not to be optimistic as there is always a chance, no matter how small. I have my everything crossed for you! I hope you prove em all wrong! Wouldnt it just be great to have another success story?

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.

Ohh I think I remember reading you had some trouble(s) with cysts one cycle - I hope that you are cleared and good to go this round!!! Let us know how your scan goes!!

This is stupid, but what does Femara do? I know I can google... Just being lazy!! I am going to get upped my next cycle for sure.... Dr says that he was cautious because of the OHSS the last time.... It was actually quite painful to be honest!!

Ohhh I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!!!

 

[ellemar]

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.

Fantastic size follies - I hope it works for you!!!! YAY!

 

[diliapickle]

DrSquid - Good luck! I hope you see that BFP soon!

Same for your Daisy, my fingers are crossed for you!!


Blue Eyes - Those are great follie sized!!! So exciting!! Hope your TWW goes quickly and you see that BFP!

to everyone wherever you are in your cycle right now!

 

[ellemar]

Daisy - good luck with testing! PMA! And if it's negative you have us here to hold you up! We've all been there

AFM - AF showed last night, not surprised. I knew I was out when I was getting negative tests at 13dpiui. Oh well! Onto the next cycle. I'm looking forward to starting this cycle because it will be such a relief to just be walking over to the doctors instead of driving an hour and 45 minutes to NJ for the doctors appointment. And we're doing IUI 24 hours after Ovidrel instead of 36 and that's kinda exciting because maybe that will work. Well, good luck everyone!

Hey Ash - We did ovidrel 26 hours after this time. I'll make sure to let you know how it goes! Also, this time I had bloodwork done, last time I didn't. Not sure why. Oh well. Good luck

 

[Blue eyes 81]

So now I am confused. Apparently now they want me to come in tomorrow for another us. But they made sure to tell me to tonight just in case I ovulate the larger follicle. I guess I will see what is going on tomorrow

 

[Hopeful42nd]

Did they do bloodwork blue eyes? They could have detected the beginning of your surge?

Yeah definitely keep me updated I would love to know how everything works out and if you got your bfp!

Yes they did estradol, lh and progesterone.

Hmm...That is surprising as my Doc always tells DH and I to avoid the deed 3 days prior to IUI... Perhaps that is just us?? Afterwards he says go, go, go! LOL!!

You'll have to let us know how it goes tomorrow!!

Last cycle I also was told not to. That is why I am so confused. They gave no reason other then they wanted there just in case ovulation occurs tonight. They did not say what caused them to think I could release an egg. I think maybe hopeful was right and they detected a surge in my blood work.

Hello Ladies new to this site, been reading thru everyones posts tryin to learn lingo... So here's my story... Actually TTC for about a yr I'm currently on my 3rd iui cycle which I got a very faint bfp on Sat, beta on Monday according to my dr was 2 low... "Chemical" is what she called it. So bummed, still haven't gotten AF... Glad to have gotten this far but this really sux! Anyone else ever had a "chemical" pregnancy? N what was ur experience?

 

[daydream]

Wishin - did the dr do two betas 48 hours apart? Generally one beta doesn't give enough info to rule out a pregnancy. The look to see if the beta levels are rising. I've never had a chemical, so I don't know much about that.

Fingers crossed the dr is wrong and you've got a sticky bean in there

Hi Ladies!
I think it was only once I wrote to this thread (above) but I wondered I'd share my story as I always loved to hear how ppl got their BFP's.

My first IUI was in natural cycle, and IUI was done on monday when folly had already bursted. BFN.
It was my 2# IUI and with injectibles, and trigger shot was given 6 hours before IUI. And this was only because the clinic was closed for Easter holidays..BUT I ended up with BFP!! Very early still though, so keep your fx that this is a sticky baby.
I only had one folly sized 18mm.

And what basically happened was success, like in this pilot study

I wish you all strenght and don't lose hope

Hi there Ladies

I will be going into IUI prob. this friday or next monday. I'm not on meds now, but my ovulation usually comes on cd15 and that is sunday - which is not good 'cos clinic is closed. I was wondering if I should ask for trigger shot on friday cd13 aswell as IUI for same day. I'm going to have U/S on thursday..

I just read this article, and they have had better preg.rates when triggering AFTER IUI. What do you think?

[MommyMel]

Progesterone level at 7dpiui is at 124.8, doc says i have ovulated for sure.
i noticed i still get some occasional little pains in my belly,,,,, is that normal ?

 

[DaisyQ]

Bfn. Stopping progesterone tomorrow to bring on AF. Onto IVF. Excited but very scared. Wish it was better than a 50-50 chance.

 

[Tella]

Sorry about the bfn Daisy Go and enjoy ur holdiay and when you back you can start with the whole IVF journey and get that bfp!

MommyMel > that's great numbers! Hope those pains are bean implanting!

One beta isn't enough to make a diagnosis off of. How low is low? If I were you I'd call and ask for it and ask why they aren't doing a second one too see if levels are rising. Good luck, fx for you!

daisy- so sorry you got bfn. Good luck with the IVF journey
