Iui November buddies?

[Beemama321]

BFN for me....I am so gutted. I just don't understand why it didn't work.

All I can say is so sorry for the disappointment. I'm on day 3 of my 2 week wait. What are your plans moving forward?

I'm soooo sorry!! I know how you feel though but just remember you will feel better tomorrow!! Take it 1 day at a time and go have a glass of wine or go out for dinner and pamper yourself!!!!

Thanks Ladies for the kind words.

I am currently waiting to hear back from my RE. This entire process of just so draining. I have to believe that one day I will be a mother. I have to continue to believe that because if I dont I think I might just turn into a puddle on the floor.

Anyone else do ovidrel trigger? I suffer from migraines and the day after the trigger which was yesterday omg full blown migraine almost went to the hospital pain! Thank God finally feeling better though

 

[ttcbaby117]

chris - I have gotten a slight headache from the ovidrel but nothing like what you are talking about. feel better soon!

well here is the drs response to my bfn today....I dont know what to do because I dont think we will be able to swing IVF financially for a while.

"How frustrating.... it was such a beautiful looking cycle.
The ovulation seemed to be very good & the sperm looked great, too.
Usually a cycle with that time of ovulation medication gives a pregnancy
rate of approximately 25%. Many women do conceive with it, but it can
still take several tries sometimes. One of the main factors limiting how
fast it works is that only about 20% of fertilized eggs are healthy
enough to grow & implant. So even 3 eggs may not be enough to do it....
We can either persevere a little longer with this approach, or consider
IVF to have a higher success rate. Given the effort & expense involved
in traveling here for this, you may want to think about IVF as an
alternative.
If you want to consider IVF, it might be best for us to do a telephone
consult to discuss what it would involve so that you could decide."

I'm right there with you about the IVF. It's just not something we can afford. I was told it's not unusual for someone to need 3 or even 4 IUIs for one to work. This was your first IUI, right? Well, maybe the 2nd one will be successful. I'm certainly hoping my 2nd one is. Fingers crossed for you, Sweetie!!

Praying for ovulation this week! Hopefully this will be our
month!!

 

[mrswemyss]

Thanks, Em. I talked to him earlier; he said I can go ahead and do what I want. He's just throwing a fit about it. Maybe he will get over it ...

I'm still getting the HSG done, and his sample for the SA is due Monday as well — he better put something in that cup!!!

An hsg is pretty painful, but it goes away after they remove the catheter

 

[ttcbaby117]

Thanks Kat....yes I have heard your chance does increase with an additional IUI's up to 4. I believe after that they said it might be a waste of time. I am thinking maybe we try the IUI one more time in December and then go from there. I just dont know anymore. I am def. not thinking clearly right now so I will wait it out this week and go from there.

I really hope you dont have to do another one either...praying for your BFP!

I don't have migraines but I got a head ache with ovidrel. The clomid actually gave me painful headaches more than the ovidrel

Hi there! We are about to start our IUI cycles (Gonal F with Ovidrel trigger). We will pick up the medications Thursday and expecting AF any day after that. I had my HSG a couple of weeks ago and was surprised how easy it was for me, after all the horror stories I'd read.

 

[ttc babybump]

I'm Currently on 14dpiui and 16dp trigger, I am going crazy waiting as my doctor said to wait till 18dpiui then if i don't have AF by then to go for bloodwork. I am trying so hard to wait and not test because I know how down I get with the negative test and if it is negative then i just have to wait again for af to arrive. ahhhhh. I have been getting AF symptoms (i.e cramps in abdomin and lower back, even woke up with them and went to check and no AF) that are coming and going, has anyone else had that and still got thir BFP. My husband is getting so excited and I keep having to remind him not to get his hopes up cause I don't want to let him down. These next few days really need to fly by so i don't go crazy... any advice?
Also I have read a lot of different things about prometrium. My Doc said to take it untill bloodwork day (18dpiu) and if pregnant to continue to take till day 40)other people on forums have said their RE has said to take it till ex day 14. and when you stop taking it you should get AF unless pregnant. anyone have ideas?

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
