IUI until we get our BFP!!! Team 2013!!

[samoorah1983]

Hi I a m new to the whole IUI process, Me and DH were trying but not preventing for almost 4 year now, haven't gotten pregnant not one time, got both of ourselves checked out, both healthy no problems. Doctor diagnosed us Unexplained. Doctor referred us to a specialist, We're going to have our first IUI going to make an appointment Aug. 12th, and hope to have an appointment for the IUI procedure in Sept.2013. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks and lots of

Hi there!
I have been through two IUIs with donor (due to a combination of female and male factor issues) and the process itself is a rollercoaster! You are excited at the beginning, because the thought that it could happen this time brings you to that high point, the procedure is done, then you wait...then if it isnt successful, the sensation of coming down the other side, your stomach drops, if you will, and then you're at the bottom again, gearing back up to get to the top. The cost for an IUI isnt terrible compared to other assisted technologies, but add in a donor sample cost if needed, and thats another expense besides the medications and the actual procedure...the end result, if you have success, is completely worth everything though! I did one without anything like medications, Ultrasound, trigger, etc. which was not successful, probably that I ovulated on the side that is blocked, or it just didnt fall in that 5-20% change of pregnancy range. This time we did Clomid, an US to see which side was giving up the goods, and then a trigger shot to help it along, plus a progesterone level at a week past the IUI to make sure it was good....waiting on either a BFP or my cycle to start now.

Good luck with your appointment, if all looks good as you've said, maybe its just a matter of needing a little extra boost to get those swimmers to their destination! and i can try to answer any questions you might have in relation to our experiences in this whole process too

Welcome to the IUI family (if you will). DH and I have been TTC for two years with no luck. After many tests, diagnosed low morphology with DH. Did our first round of IUI (no med assist) in July.... BFN :/ have meeting with our dr Monday, hopefully beginning near the end of this week. Good luck! And, try and stay calm and don't get too disappointed if it doesn't work out the first time, don't put too much pressure on yourself... It's stressful enough as is

Good luck! It's an exciting next step. My hubby and I will be doing our next IUI in September also. It can seem a bit awkward, but DH and I tried to have fun with it. He held my hand the whole time and then we kissed when they squirted the swimmers up there. Haha. We needed to feel like it was somewhat romantic. Do you have any specific questions or concerns?

Hey there IUIers!
I'm programmed for my first round of IUI's starting September... After my surgery for Endo treatment.

I will have to stalk some of you form the looks of it!

Hello everyone! I'm in the middle of my 2ww for my first IUI and so far this has been the hardest part!

I agree with melly belly on the roller coaster part. I was super excited at the beginning of my cycle - new drug, first time having monitoring to see how the drug was working, and just feeling hopeful that this would be what works. After the IUI the time seems to crawl sooooo slow. It hasn't even been a full week since mine and I feel like so much more time should've passed by now! I am so impatient

Good luck at your appointment tomorrow samoorah1983! Let us know how it goes.

Fx for everyone else, too that your first/next IUI cycle gives you that BFP!

Hello, this will also be my first month of IUI. I am on Day 9 today and doctor has found 2 folliciles on the left ovary both measuring 1.2 and on the right one at 0.8. Has prescribed me more puregon and ultrasound again after two days. hope they catch the right size before my husband has to travel this weekend

Good luck to everyone trying. Prayers to all!

 

[Hatethewait85]

Hey all! How's everyone doing today?

How was your appointment samoorah1983?

Good luck with follies jaan613! Fx cross they grow perfectly the next 2 days so you can get this show on the road before your hubby goes away! Have you talked about maybe freezing his sample if you need it over the weekend? Good luck!!

AFM - I've been terrible at not symptom spotting. Although I will admit that up until a week ago I didn't even know that was a "thing" nor did I know what symptoms counted! haha. At least I'm half way through the 2ww now!

Hi guys sorry for replying back so late, I was gone on a vacation we went to Las Vegas, lets say what happens in Vegas STAYS in Vegas Lool! We had a lot of fun my family came up there and my sisters we had a blast!! For the first time I felt so comfortable and stress free.. Well we came back for vegas and went to our first initial appointment. Doctor explained everything to us and how the procedure works, send out blood work got blood work done. Had HSG done last year, our specialist said it looks good no need to repeat it YAY!! Just need SA done and put me on a diet, I'm not overweight but he wants me to eat healthy and cut sugar and carbs out.. Now I'm waiting tolli get AF so doctor wants to perform uterine check to make sure I don't have polyps in my utures, and have me on clomid,HCG, and one more i forgot what it is. He wants to do the basics since I ovulate on my own. I'm so nervous and excited at the same time ahhhhh!!!

That's so funny that you just got back from Vegas! I'm there right now!! Not having as good of a time by the sounds of it since af is staying to show her ugly head. Oh well it is a nice change in scenery!

Good luck on your first Iui cycle! Fx you get your bfp on the first try!

Hi how did everything go with you?? Hope everything went well, let us know!! Let the come our way!!

Did my first IUI Today!
I had 3 follies on my right side:
2.2
1.8 and
1.7

I had my trigger yesterday and 24 hours did my first iui. im excited - hope i'm one of those girls that get lucky on the first go. only issue is that my hubby post wash count was only 1.8 million (pre wash 27 million)
my doctor said let's go ahead and try anyway...hoping for my bfp!!

 

[River54]

I am going in for baseline tomorrow early morning. Going to try our first IUI.
Then we are gone for a week, but they said it should be fine, and just to let them know when I get a +opk. I am guessing since there is no known issues with us, they are just trying the simple stuff first. I'll know more tomorrow after the appt. Kinda excited and nervous all at the same time - sort of when we started clomid for the first time - thinking finally doing something else to try.

How was your appointment the other day? Are you doing an unmedicated IUI or are you taking clomid/something else? Hoping things work out well and you get your BFP this time around!!
