Hi Tansey

It went well just having a lot of cramping now. We had 28 million today post wash.

How did yours go today? How are you feeling?

 

[tansey]

God it is soooo uncomfortable when they do it!
They don't tell us what the count is just that the sample is ok and ready to use!
Waiting for the OV cramps now - they said it could be painful as the three were so big!
Going to see if my temps tell me that I have OV'd in the next couple of days insted of putting it in FF now.
Good luck in our 2ww Jappy!

Whats the trigger?

I wonder if i'm doing a modifed IUI due to paying out of pocket... I don't think i am going to scans and u/s and that sort of stuff... All I was told was to take Femara CD5-9 monitor my ovulation and when i surge to come in the next day to collect seman and then to complete the IUI process and hope from there.....

Tomorrow will be CD1 for me since AF arrived after 3pm today (thats how the md told me to calculate it) so I will be starting Femara Wednesday and just watching for my surge which i think it will be March 13-14 but we will see.....

Good luck ladies


#1 IUI here we come!!

It seems that lots of clinics in the USA do it different (especially different than in the UK). The only thing I would say is that without scans you don't know if you have responded or under/over responded to the femara. In the UK they are very careful about the risk of multiples.

The trigger shot is not always used as you can just have your natural surge. It is a HCG injection that helps the eggs get the final maturation and time the OV - so when the scans show that your follicles have reached a certain size you are told to do the shot 24-40hours before IUI and then you will OV shortly afterward.

I started having OV cramps last night, and they really intesified this morning before the IUI. When I check my temp this morning is jumped up quite a bit, but I will confirm with the next couple days of temps to make sure that I OV'd.

OK, here we go again for our TWW..Good Luck to both of us. I am sending lost of sticky to you!! Keep us posted

Finally cycle day 1 yesterday! Scheduled ultrasound for Friday the 11th so excited. First month on Femara so nervous in case I end up with 40 eggs or none. (even though logically I know this isn't normal) Will wait and see........

Yeah Tansey!! Who would have thought that we would actually be rooting for pain? Who cares, YEAH

 

[tryforbaby2]

OMG! You girls are getting me excited and giving me some PMA back into my life!

I am also CD1 today. Starting my Clomid Sunday, start opk CD11 (which I will start CD9). I hope we get some good solid sperm this time!

If IUI with Clomid doesnt work this cycle, they really want me to move onto IVF with ICSI, but I think I have convinced them to try injectables before I jump to IVF! So IF this cycle doesnt work, I am going super wild next cycle! Fingers Crossed this will be my last stinking cycle as well as all of yours!

How is everyone?....

 

[Swepakepa3]

fingers crossed for you tryforbaby2....!!


Good luck to everyone else who has completed IUI recently...seems to be a few of you. fingers crossed for a sticky!

Hello Ladies! I've been trying to conceive for 12 months. Tried 50mg clomid and missed ovulation. then 100mg of clomid and didn't produce more than one folli. and the folli was to small. so took the holidays off and attempted first IUI in Feb with follistim and clomid. produced one at 18mm 13 follies maybe three...didn't want to pay for another u/s so took our chances with the 18mm and had iui w 36million spermies....2 weeks later bfn...after progesterone cream that makes you feel like your preggers...pretty sad right now...so I will be starting follistim again with clomid in 3 or 4 days...waiting for AF....

any suggestions on being more hopeful...
im 29 dh 39 no known problems...can ovulate and Im pretty regular....

 

[tansey]

wishing2bamom - you just need to keep trying. IUI is doesn't have a high success rate but just by trying you could be one of the lucky ones.

 

[wishing2bamom]

Good Luck Tansey!!! I think I missed your orig posting...are you having the IUI now? Baby Dust you!

 

[HuskyMomWI]

Getting nervous about the ultrasound on Friday. What if there are way too many or even worse, none? Anyone not react to femara/clomid?

 

[lizlemon]

Day 1 today, first scan and first injection tomorrow!!!! I am excited and scared!

 

[jappygirl76]

Hello everyone,

I hope that your weekend was good!!

So where is everybody in their cycle, let's do a quick status check:

I am, I think about 4 DPO, and not much else to report.

 

[HuskyMomWI]

Cycle day 5 here. Started femara on Saturday. Ultrasound this upcoming Friday to check how many little opportunities there are.
