IUI March anyone?

[Mallow9]

Good morning ladies

This 2 week wait has been testing my patience. This is my first IUI and I am wondering when is it too early to test to see if I am lucky this month. I know the correct answer is probably when I miss my period, but i was just wondering if I can do it a couple of days before that day or if it is better to wait... Wondering what all you ladies have done.

I hear you - I am DYING this time around!!! I'm a very impatient person and this wait is killing me. I'm 9dpo and I'm going to try my hardest to wait it out and not test.

How many dpo are you? You could start testing at 10dpo and don't be discouraged if you see BFN at first as many women get them early on and then once it is closer to or after AF due date they turn to BFP!

Wait till at least 12DPIUI ....

The process of traveling and implanting will take somewhere around 7 to 10 days then ANOTHER 2 to 3 days to register on a urine pregnancy test.

I had my first iui on March 12th. I had 2 folicles measuring over 20 mm at an us on Mar 10. So they had me take a opk and it was - then the next day it was + so I called and made an apointment for the 12th. When they did the us before the iui I had already released the eggs. My husband's count was 36 million. the nurse said that was good. I am new to the whole iui thing, I think our dr is doing this just to speed up our ttc time. I am 25 and I lost my last pregnancy 5 months ago at 20 weeks. They found no reason why.

Staying busy and not obsessing is the key. Was out for dinner with a friend tonight who is 15 weeks and she like a few others I have now spoken with have said they have had NO symptoms till 7 weeks! FINGERS crossed I'm in that same grouping!!!

Its even more stressful when you've had the HCG shot and can't even TRUST a pregnancy test!!!!!!!! Thats me I have had one false positive because I was sure the HCG trigger was out of my system.

Hey, I've been reading on some other threads that an OPK can be used for HPT? Is that true? Is it accurate?

 

[Springy]

Here is a link to an article about OPKs as HPTs.

Well, I came home and did a opk for shits & giggles, and there was the faiiintest line. i mean, barely there. I'm only 7dpo, so I wasn't expecting much. I took a picture with my phone, but it's not worth posting cuz I don't think you can see it. Well, maybe.. hopefully.. it means

I have to agree this TWW is killing me as well...... 9DPIUI....... killing me..... beta pregnancy test scheduled for 3/30...... i might try to test in a few days just to see what happens.

My beta is set for the same day .... I was thinking of doing a FRER that morning to see if going for the beta is even worth it.

Hi ladies, just dropping in. I had my first iui yesterday (3/24)... I used repronex starting cd4-cd12 so nine days of injections. On day 9 two largest follicles were 20mm and 18mm...took ovidrel trigger @12am tues and finally iui yesterday @ around 2pm (supposed to be 1pm but I was late!) Bout three hours after iui I had severe cramping, slept it off but it never went away finally last night around 2am I HAD to take an aspirin. I just woke up and have no pain hopefully it stay that way! I hope my tww flies byyyyy

 

[DelilahsMommy]

I hope there is somthing to the opk as htp test. I ran out of Htp tests around day 10 with a bfn. I used some left over opks day 11& 12 with faint lines both days. Im not going to buy any more tests and just wait for my blood work monday.

I had the SAME thing when I had my IUI done earlier this month. Just like with you it woke me up because the cramping was so bad!!!

 

[Miss Jennifer]

I am 6dpo today and trying to relax. No symptoms other than my ohss.

 

[Hoping1986]

Springy! My re just told me the heavy cramping is normal and most bfp's had cramping couple hours after, sometimes its the leftover protein in the sper ...im just trying to stay hopeful. How many days past iui are you?

Well that would be awesome if that is why I had it. I am now 9dpo and not feeling anything really so was trying not to let my hopes go down! The cramping was so bad the first night that I could hardly get off the couch and then as I mentioned it woke me up and I NEVER get cramps like that at all!!!! I'll keep you posted on whether or not I get my BFP!

What are you going to do to keep busy during your TWW???

 

[Hoping1986]

I feel like its going to take forever since I just did it yesterday. I told myself im NOT going to obsess over every sign etc. thank god for this forum (i decided not to tell anyone about the iui)...my back story: just turned 25 yrs old; dh is 24 we've been trying since 2006 nooo luck but too embaressed to go to dr. and figured simply since I have normal periods I must be okay finally summer of 2010 I saw a specialist. I found out I have one partially blocked tube and one good one, and high fsh (9)...he told me point blank looks like I have premature ovarian failure and to start thinking about ivf w/ donor eggs! I cried soo hard that day. Ohhh and dh swimmers are the best of the best. I started doing my own research for options not so invasive and saw another RE and here I am.... wow, guess im feeling chatty today, lol

I'm 7dpo/dpiui and I am feeling good, but exhausted from work.

Good Luck to those who are in the tww and those who are awaiting IUI this month!!!
