MC between 5-6 weeks July 2008
MMC 12 weeks fetal demise July 2010

IUI #1 - 20.3 million sperm post wash, 63% motility....Clomid 50mg days 3-7, Progesterone supp. 200mg 3x a day. BFN

IUI #2 - 10.5 million sperm post wash (clinic sais bare minimum amount for them to do IUI), 89% motility....Clomid 50mg days 3-7, Progesterone Supp. 200mg 3x a day....BFN at 10dpo IC cheapy test...BFP urine Answer brand test....HCG levels: 14dpo = 147, 18dpo = 952, 20dpo = 2577!.... Emergency Scan at 6w 3d due to cramping, bad back pain and red/pink spotting.....TWINS!!! Holy Cow!!!

There is a light at the end of every tunnel. Even though I was only ttc for 20 months, I was falling into a depression about my body and lack of being pregnant while the whole world around me seemed to obtain pregnancy and motherhood so easily. I started coming to terms that I may not have more children and be very greatful for the daughter I do have. I started daydreaming of a convertable car, lots of vacations, boob lifts, etc.....

I started congratulating pregnant women I don't even know and understanding that its a gift, and they were chosen. I would bring myself to buy gifts for newborns for their "birth" day of family members and almost be ok with it. I would start up a conversation with a random pregnant woman about her bump or gorgeous children.

Maybe it was my change in attitude, maybe it was my turn, maybe it was the perfect timing of my IUI or the additional vitamins I made DH take.....whatever it was, I am grateful every single morning when I open my eyes.

I think about all of you wonderful women all the time. I hope to see some more numbers here with a BFP after it!!! A healthy forever one!!!

WOW!! Thank you for sharing!!! It is so uplifting to hear stories than have lower sperm counts with GREAT success!!!! Do you know how many follicles you had??

 

[tryforbaby2]

Your very welcome!

Our clinic doesn't check to see how many follies you have until you start injections. They base it off of the levels of your bloodwork.

I wish I knew! I was asking them to do ultrasounds to check and they wouldn't. Sorry I don;t have more information.

Try for a, thank u for this post. So much. Nice of u to take the time to give us hope. Good luck. Xxxx

here goes my numbers:

TTC from April 2007
My results: all normal
DH: low sperm count(10-14mil/ml), motility (35% to 50%) and morpology (4% to 14%). No cause diagnosed.

1st IUI: 1 follicle 18mm (I think) on CD10 day with 75 UI gonal F from CD5 to CD10, trigger on CD10 and IUI on CD12 day, 1.5 mil post wash with 72% motility and 4% morphology: BFP

Spotted the day of beta: beta came back at 400+ (CD14 I think)
Spotted for a week again at 14 weeks: I complete 20 weeks tomorrow and wishing/hoping for a +ve journey ahead...but all through out my own results have given me hope that it can happen, however low the probability might be it is still possible.

We are told that ICSI would be our way, but IUI was an easy start.

 

[tryforbaby2]

Thank You and Your Very Welcome tryingtocope!

We were also told IVF with ICSI would be the best route for us. I pushed to try IUI a few times! Glad I did!

Best of Luck to you all!

Well I'm currently lying in hosp bed after first iui. I had two follicles two days ago one at 18 and one at 19. Dh sa is much better than when it was tested in October with 81% abnormal forms and a count of 13 million after wash. Having some mild cramping. I don't want to have to get up in a minute. Would happily stand on my head for next 24 hrs!!!

 

[Chris77]

I don't remember the numbers of the past 5 IUI's I had. I do know that each time I had between 2 and 4 follies...all with Clomid or Femara.

This 6th cycle I used Follistim 100 IU's and had 3 follies on the day of IUI....the lead was 20 mm, followed by 18 mm and then the 3rd at just 14 mm.

I will be testing probably around June 30th...although I'm sure I'll test earlier.

Thanks for sharing lillyttc! I love seeing success with low counts

[readyformore]

I'll add mine, although it was ages ago. . .

All SAs were about 20-30 million after wash
IUI #1- clomid, estrace, progesterone, trigger. 3 inseminations on cd15,16, and 17. bfn
IUI #2-clomid cancelled due to ovarian cyst. IUI done cd15, 16, and 17 progesterone bfn
IUI #3- clomid, estrace, progesterone, trigger. 3 inseminations on cd15, 16, and 17. bfn
IUI #4-clomid, estrace, progesterone. 3 follicles (17mm). trigger. 1 insemination only on cd17. bfp with a sticky baby!

I really feel that my last one was successful due to speaking up for myself. I always ov late. cd 15 and 16 were too early for me. By the time cd17 came around and I was ready to ov, DHs count was much lower. I told my doc I only wanted 1 day and I wanted to do it on cd17. . .she said okay and it worked.

Good luck ladies.
