[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![/QUOTE

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

hii sorry to hear about AF showing her face, but hey theres Vegas and another try!! Have fun and wish youlots of

Thanks! AF always brings me down for a few days, but then I recover and realize that there is always hope the next cycle will work. So I'm staying positive (or at least trying to!!). I have a us on Tuesday to see how things are looking. I'm hoping for some even better follies this time!

Are you still just waiting for AF to arrive?

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!!

No, had to cancel the iui. Had cysts from the clomid on both sides at the baseline appt. so we were told to take a natural cycle this time and go baseline to try next cycle. They said I'd do iui with femara and gonal injections. Hopefully something will happen soon! Fx!

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!

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!!

Hii how did the IUI go? Hope all is good and wish you a BFP!!!!

WELL, it seems like the days are taking forever to pass!!!!! I am only 7 dpiui and so impatient! i know it is pointless to check now if it worked so i will wait 3 days then i will be go crazy testing. hahaha. i feel like my breasts are super sore, other than that no real feelings. the first two days after iui i had slight cramping. wishing and hoping for the best, my follies were good just hope husband's sperm was alright, even at 1.8million post wash!

Oh bummer!! Well hopefully the switch from clomid to femara will work for you! Or maybe you won't even need the IUI at all! Keep us updated!

Sorry to hear about AF Samoorah! How'd the call to your doc go?

 

[k9girl8]

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

Thanks so much it's been a roller oyster to us well see what happens its a ll about patience and god.. Sending your way!!! How's everything with you?

Sorry it has been so long since I posted! It has been a VERY LONG 2ww for us.. We did our 2 round of IUI in the middle of Aug, and it looks like this too was a BFN... AF hasn't made her entrance yet, but, have taken several home tests, all BFN, so we are pretty certain she will be here any day... Feeling diappointed and emotionally drained, but, maybe 3rd time will be the charm? depending on what happens in the next few days, if still BFN, we will be contacting our dr to schedule our 3rd round (this time with Clomid) in early Sept...

How are you doing?? How is everything going with you and DH?

Agreed! What did people do before google? I'm not sure I could've survived the 2ww without it!!

 

[Hatethewait85]

Well I did not get the news I was hoping for today at my us! When I didn't have as much cramping this cycle, I had a feeling things weren't growing as well. I only had 2 follicles (on the same side) at about 18mm. Last cycle I had 2 (1 on each side) at about 19mm and 1 at about 16mm. How is it possible to respond differently with nothing being changed!?! This stuff is so frustrating!

We are going to wait until Friday to trigger so that they have a chance to grow bigger. The IUI is scheduled for Sunday morning. I'm supposed to use opk's between now and Friday and call the clinic if I get a positive test b/c the IUI will be the next day.

Hardly feeling hopeful today, but trying to change that!

Hope everyone else is doing a bit better than I am today!!

Hi I have been waiting for AF to come and it came yesterday morning whew!! I wanted it to come because doctor wanted to do saline contrast in my uterus to make sure I have no polyps and already scheduled me on 9/4/13 ohh cant wait!! But nurse told me that the IUI procedure will be done on the following month so I can start medication then IUI.. Here I am I'm totally Ready!!!

Sorry about your IUI being cancelled!! out of curiosity how did you get the cyst from clomid? Sorry I'm doing clomid for my first IUI.. Hopefully everything works out for you Hun !!!!

 

[River54]

They didn't explain it much - just told me that I had cysts on both sides from the clomid and it was probably because I had ovulated on both sides that cycle. They then said my ovaries were still stimulated from it, so they had to cancel the IUI.

Hi All, We are on our 2nd IUI cycle. We have been trying for multiple years and started seeing a fertility specialist last July. Found out DH has unobstructed azoospermia. So we are using donor sperm. I had an HSG which showed everything was fine on my part. My ovarian reserve is fine as well. Last month was a BFN, and I'm currently 9dpo, and 12dpo HCG trigger shot. The longest the HCG ovidrel shot stays in the system is 14days, so I have to wait until August 31st to get a reliable test result. I'm still testing positive for HCG at this point, and I did last month as well.

We used clomid 100mg days 5-9, and had the HCG shot cycle day 13 and IUI cycle day 15. I'm so ready for our BFP. Wishing the best of luck to everyone else.

At baby center I came across a great table that shows when the trigger shot leaves the system. You can probably google it. THey won't let me post here since I'm a newbie.
