Iui November buddies?

[Hope1409]

Hi everyone and welcome newbies! The more the merrier!

So went to hospital today to get blood test and boo, BFN.
I'm ok with it, at least the wait is over. IT's the wait that kills me... the not knowing. I'm a need-to-know-now kinda of person. Once I know then I can plan and move on to the next cycle, next step etc.
So normally my fertility clinic would give a month break in between cycles, but since they are taking Christmas off, they are going to do back to back cycles with me, which actually makes me happy. Glad that I get to go right away again! And then at least I'll only have one cycle to wait if iui#2 doesn't succeed. They are going to do 3 cycles, then we will discuss ivf.
I heard that iui#1 is very rare to get a BFP, and that it builds and get stronger % of success with each cycle, but that if no BFP by #3, that iui is unlikely to work. ANyone else hear that?

OK! Here goes! Nov IUI #2! remarkably excited.

I have also heard this. I pray that the 3rd time will be the charm because this iui will be my last. My RE also does 3 iui's then goes to ivf which I am not ready for right now, mentally and financially. I think if this month doesn't result in a bfp, I am going to take a few natural months and get all these drugs and hormones out of my system.

So I'm actually excited that RE stated that DH does not have to repeat SA as he was unable to provide a sample this am. Nervous about him having to provide sample day of IUI but will make sure that he takes all the medication needed for him to provide sample. Still awaiting AF in order to start first cycle.....never have been so excited to have AF come!

 

[ttcbaby117]

ohhhh so exciting lucinda! Good luck!

 

[Hope1409]

Good luck Lucinda!!!

Nothing new to report with me. I have my RE appointment tomorrow morning, I start my clomid again tonight (cd5) and see where this month takes me. I am soooo exhausted of month after month of pills and appointments. I think if this month doesn't work, I am going to take a break from doctors and try to get my life back in order. The last 2 years I have been consumed by everything ttc and dh and I have both decided that is no way to live. We need to carry on and in God's time, we will have our family. I'm 29 and dh is 31 so I feel that time is still "somewhat" on my side...but not for much longer, especially since we want a big family.

 

[ttcbaby117]

we all need a break during this long and tedious process hun...take it if you need it....but hopefully you wont need it as you will get your bfp this cycle!

 

[Lucinda7981]

Thanks hope...hopefully this will be your month and you won't need to take a break.
TTCbaby .....you are def right a break is def needed during a long process! Hoping Nov works out for us all!

Hi Ladies!

I am on my second IUI this month. I finished my clomid last friday. I will be having my ultra sound Wednesday which will determine my trigger shot and IUI start date.

Hoping this round works! I would love buddies who are doing the same thing!

My husband and I both have unexplained infertility. Everything is normal with us both. This is our Anniversary month and my Grandparents who had been married in October. It is a good month! So we are hoping this month is a go!

TTC- 1 year without meds.
1 Round IUI- Unsuccessful

Good luck for your 2nd round!!

Hi Ladies: I'm praying and hoping for an IUI this month, waiting for AF to arrive and then will start the clomid and then IUI hopefully!!

For those of you who are talking about the HSG procedure. It honestly isn't too bad. More like a pap smear that takes longer. Just remember to breath and the doctor will talk you through everything!!!

BFP's this month!!!

Hello Tinkerbell.....I'm also doing first IUI this month! Excited/nervous?
Hello Bee...I too have 3 pregnancies under my belt n 2 live children n so this going to a RE is also new to me. Currently waiting for AF and DH will b repeating SA tom; so hopefully will be starting process soon.

I'm the same with 3 pregnancies under my belt and 2 live births with two boys 6 and 3. Not being able to get pregnant is sure new to me :/ Started my first 100mg clomid cycle and have ultrasound this thursday to look at follicles. Nervous!!

Hello ladies, may I join you on here?

My hubby and I are TTC#1 after a m/c in late June. We're doing our first IUI this month, I started Clomid 50mg last Thursday for 5 days and have my follie U/S this coming Monday (CD 14).

I wonder if any of you can answer my question? I'm on CD 8 now, did Clomid from CD3-7, and today I've had brown spotting all day. Is this normal? I don't ovulate until between CD17-19 usually, so ovulation isn't anywhere near... could it be the Clomid? Should I be worried?

Thank you ladies, and to you all

 

[ttcbaby117]

hi posey - welcome! I had that happen on clomid once.....it might just be a s/e....If it gets worse then call your dr...if not then I think you are ok! Good luck hun!

Hi all, I was hoping I could join this thread. TTC round 2 after about a 2 year break. 1st attempt was through OB with clomid and timed intercourse. Now I am seeing a RE for IUI. found out I have thyroid antibodies, so added meds. 1st cycle of clomid at 50mg didnt work, so this cc 100mg cd 1-5 with metformin. cd 7now 2 days since last pill and cramping, so feel like something must be happening this round(hopefully not to soon). my scan is Nov 12th! if I have follicles I will also take a trigger shot. Im feeling a bit over whelmed, but hopeful after reading this thread and knowing I am not alone.

 

[ttcbaby117]

good luck clomidqueen and welcome!

This is crazy! Apparently I didn't get my period Monday. Ultrasound showed my uterine lining is still thick and my progesterone level is 4 (doc said it should be near zero). Doc said I'm only spotting. What does this mean? We have no idea! If I don't get full flow by this weekend, they'll bring me back for a new pregnancy test.

I hate this! Am I or aren't I??

Hopefully you had late ovulation and a late "implanter" and af will stay away and you will get great news!!! can you do hpt's in the meantime to see if your results change? Keeping my fingers crossed for you hun
