Iui November buddies?

[Hope1409]

With my first bfp, I swore af was going to be here any minute, but instead I got my two pink lines. It is very common for those af cramps, it is your uterus expanding. As for your other question, I don't have any experience with it but I would do as your doctor has advised. If said to take it until 18dpiui then I would do that. Every woman is different so don't use BnB to self treat or diagnose....your doc knows best oh and btw, how the HECK are you not testing!!!! Haha! You have somee willpower to hold out! Good for you

Haha , thanks for the reply! So the answer to how the heck i haven't tested.... well we have been trying for 2 years and have never had a positive bfp so I'm kinda of at the point where i hate those darn tests lol. I am so scared of that big fat negative that i would almost prefer to stay in the unknown and still have alittle bit of hope. Once I take that test i know i just have to wait for AF to come and start another month. Really hoping for this to be our month, it is our 2 years of trying this month.
thanks again

i can relate....i have been trying about 15 months since after my mc so seeing those white sticks does get discouraging. i managed not to test last cycle and i will do the same for this round and the months to come (hopefully not too many more). Please keep us posted when you find out!!! I have a good feeling for you

I wish you luck and hope AF doesn't arrive! I totally agree with u about testing I never test either because of that reason!

Hey Ladies! I wanted to join your thread, as I am currently getting ready to do 2 unmedicated iui's starting in the beginning of December. OH and I have been ttc over a year and a half and he has a very low count along with low motility!
We both tried in previous marriages with no luck but Ihad many other health problems then which have now disappeard..thank goodness..also back then I had two iui's with clomid and trigger that were unsuccessful which now I am very thankful for.

I have a brand new life since my OH have been together and I cant wait to make our lives complete with a little bundle. We were told that if iui didnt work after two attempts since i am healthy now besides mild endo...that we should attempt ivf/icsi, as of now I can't afford all of that so I am holding on to hope with a iui bfp!
If the December IUI works i will get a christmas bfp or just before which would be amazing ...trying to be positive but don't want to get my hopes up too high

OK, enough of my rambling, I just wanted to introduce myself and join you ladies on your journeys

Welcome!! Wishing you good luck on your December iui, how fun would that positive test be for Christmas!!! I test on Thanksgiving... I hope I have a pregnancy to be thankful for.

Hi Pookabear I'm new on this thread too, just joined a couple of days ago. I'm picking up my IUI medication on Thursday and just waiting for AF to arrive so we can get this IUI train moving! Soooo excited!

That would be awesome if u could get a BFP for Thanksgiving!!!!!
As for me AF showed n I'm on CD2 sitting at doctors office waiting for blood test so I can be given the green light to start my Clomid. Only thing that concerns me that my sono to check for follies n thus IUI would fall on the the 2 Thanksgiving holiday(meaning office closed Thurs n Fri) and then they r not open sat n sun regularly.....so I dunno what's the plan

Lucinda, I'm in the same boat! I am also afraid my body will be "ready" on Thanksgiving! Fingers crossed that our bodies are either running early or late!!

I go in for a follie check on the 19th. It's unlikely I'll be ready to trigger that day. Last month I went back in two days later to check on their progress again, and then they gave me the trigger and I went in for the IUI the next day.

 

[Kat S]

Hey, does anyone know if it's safe for me to get a flu shot? I'm currently taking Femara (today is my last day taking those pills) to boost ovulation. My mom mentioned that there is a noted increase in autism in babies of women who caught the flu during pregnancy.

So when the nurse calls me back im going to ask how this is suppose to work being that they will be closed....im thinking they will tell me that i could go to manhattan on Sat and sunday as that clinic will at least be open those two days but i live in westchester county and driving to midtown is really difficult especially if they suggest that my IUI be done there.....DH is not going to want to provide a sample at the office; this i can surely bet on! I'll keep you posted Kat as to what they suggest for me. What do you think the plan will be for you?

I know I should call and ask, but I know they'll just reassure me to not worry, and that we'll cross that bridge if it's necessary. But I'm a Planner! I need to know what the plan is in advance, or I *do* worry.

I'm glad that you do have an option, even if it is less than ideal. Looking forward to hearing what they suggest for you.

Hmmm, I don't know... I know it's safe to receive while pregnant, I did with both my boys. Sounds like a question for the doc, maybe not a live virus that gets sniffed but the shot should be okay.

Hi and welcome!!! Sending you good thoughts this cycle!

 

[ttc babybump]

well I broke down and took a dollar store pregnancy test and
trying to still have a little bit of hope but not sure if there is point to that. still have to wait to saturday to get bloodwork done but i have read so much about prometrium and how it mimics pregnancy and also can delay your period that I'm thinking that is what all my symptoms are from. Was really thinking this would finally be the month...

 

[ttcbaby117]

ttc sorry about the bfn...where are you in the tww? Maybe it is just to early???? I know the disappointment I am still trying to deal with my bfn from my first IUI. It comes in waves of depression and it is horrible.

 

[ttc babybump]

ttc- thank-you, I have to wait 18days and am on day15. i looked at it after and thought i could see a very faint second line, but am maybe just going crazy. also i peed on the stick rather then put in cut like this stick instructed.. really needing to do another, live in very small town so tend to go out of town to get them.

 

[tackysmacky]

Hi everyone, I just joined and this is my first post!

Just did our 2nd IUI on Nov 10, and are in the 2WW. This is the part I hate! Our 1st IUI was last month, and was a BFN. We were disappointed, but not overly suprised as we have been told since we started working with the Fertility clininc that IVF with ICSI is likely our best option (I'm fine, problem's with DH count, morph)

Would love to have a buddy on a similar cycle to help us get through this waiting time! I am currently 4DPO

I am right with you! I had my iui on the 10th too! So glad to find someone at the exact same point as me. This was my first iui ever, two previous pregnancies naturally. I had 100mg clomid, ovidrel trigger @130am Friday morning, iui Sat at noon. This wait is killing me!!!!

 

[tackysmacky]

Very cool! I was on 100mg clomid too, although I didn't really need it. There are no known concerns with me, and I ovulate every month on my own (however its a bit late and inconsistant with ovulation usually being on day 17-22)

I was put on clomid in hopes it might help produce two eggs instead of 1. It did help though because both cycles I have ovulated on day 15 which is much more "normal!" Our concern is with DH, low count and poor morph

We are trying for our 1st child (tried naturally for almost 2 years, never had a BFP), and with both of our IUI's had low numbers with 4.3 million (washed). We can do 3 IUI's before we have been told to move to IVF with ICSI (really hope we don't have to do IVF!)

I hope your IUI is successful! Guess we are both waiting on our miracles!
