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

[LoveMyTripawd]

Hi everyone. Last time I wrote in this thread was a little over three weeks ago, but I have been keeping up and following along with it. I can't wait for us to get some BFPs in this group!

DH and I get to do our 2nd IUI soon! I am estimating September 10th. It seems as though time has gone so slow after the mc, so I am excited to finally get to try again.

I'm anxiously awaiting my first IUI as well!! I'm actually TTC #3. I have two boys 9 and 10 from a previous marriage, with lots of infertility treatments involved to get my first little guy. My DH doesn't have any kids, so this would be his first. We've been trying naturally for the last year. We had success in Jan 13, however it ended in MC at 6 weeks . My cycles have been very erratic since then. We have some male factor issues in that DH had a low count on a recent SA. We started with a new RE (had been seeing one due to my needing a second lap for my endo...but I didn't like him very much), that we both really love. He was super helpful, attentive, and positive and also eager to get the party started. The day after our consult AF came and we jumped right in! I had my baseline this past Monday, and started Letrozole this past Sunday 7.5 mg cd 3-7. Took my last dose of Letrozole last night and start with Follistim injections tonight and tomorrow. Follie check Sunday morning. So hoping I have some eggs incubating ! Looking forward to getting to know you ladies, and hoping this becomes a very lucky thread!!

Good morning everyone!!! Last night I decided to start using my fertility monitor I had a it for a year , I only used it twice. So I decided that I was gonna turn it on and start using it, so today is my last day of AF and timed the monitor, so excited to use it I haven't tempted or did opks or anything for a while so I felt that I should get as much information from my body as much as I can anyways.. This morning my husband was dropping me off at our coffee shop and I was thinking out loud saying " oh I have to get the monitor test sticks from the pharmacy, I can't forget that" my husband gets mad and goes " that's all you have on your mind!?? , baby, test, baby, test, baby, test!!" I laughed so hard the way he said it cracked me up and I was we'll u want to have a baby right?? He said ya but I'm afraid because your thinking too much we won't see a baby.. I had to explain to him why I'm using the monitor... Men they just never understand lol!!! Anyways that's how my morning started.. Later after work going to get my cystic fibrois and thalassemia testings done, and that will be the last of my blood work whooo!!!

Going in for my second IUI tomorrow! Very nervous/anxious for this and am slightly worried about the timing of things. I had my CD11 ultrasound on Tuesday and as I mentioned I got less than good news. We decided to wait until today to trigger unless I got a positive opk test. Well this morning I had a positive opk test so I scheduled the IUI for tomorrow. I took another opk test early this afternoon and it was negative! I talked to my fs and she said to take the ovidrel ASAP and come in tomorrow. What do you guys think?? I know the LH surge can be short, so perhaps that's all it is and tomorrow is the right timing?

The same thing happened last month too, I had a positive opk test, followed by a negative a few hours later, followed by a positive the next morning. We scheduled the IUI 24 hrs after the second positive after discussing with the fs. That obviously didn't work so I guess it won't hurt to try it 24 hrs after the 1st positive opk this time...

This whole timing part is the.most.stressful!

Hi how did you IUI go??

It went ok. It hurt a bit more than last month, which I've read can be a sign of bad timing, so who knows! Trying not to think about it too much. We bd this morning just in case since I took the trigger 36hrs ago. Let the 2ww begin!!

How are you doing?

Thanks! This will be our 16th cycle. We finally saw a specialist on our 13th cycle and had our first IUI on our 14th cycle. It was successful, but didn't last As of now, they are seeing our problems as a cervical issue. Nothing gets through which makes for a painful IUI, but other than that, things seem fine. My HSG was less painful than my IUI, but that's because the HSG was done near the end of my period, so my cervix was already opened a bit. Unfortunately it is closed tight mid-cycle! I am hoping my next BFP sticks!

 

[Hatethewait85]

Hi LoveMyTripawd. My IUI hurt this month too. But I thought that was a bad timing thing? At least I think in my case it was since the last one didn't hurt. I hope your next IUI gives you one sticky bean!! Good luck!

 

[LoveMyTripawd]

Hatethewait85- I'm not sure about the bad timing thing. I was expecting mine to hurt because I have had many problems with my cervix in the past. The worst issue is that about two years ago it had completely closed to the point where I stopped getting periods and it had to be surgically opened again. Then it was dilated with those rods twice a week for a couple months. After that it has never been back to normal. Now my body allows it to open for my period, but that's about it. So for my IUI it took 15 minutes, an extra nurse, and a variety of rods to get that tube through. It sucked! But at least I know what to expect next time.

I think I read that after ovulation your cervix is supposed to close back up pretty quickly. I could be wrong. Is that what you mean by bad timing? My IUIs are unmedicated so just go by my surge. I got my LH surge in the afternoon and got my IUI the next morning around 9. My chart showed that I ovulated on the same day I got my surge. I thought for sure that I was too late, but nope! Worked out just fine. So try not to stress yourself out too much about the timing. The IUI gives them a good head start! I wish you tons of luck and I hope you get your BFP this time!!

Oh my, it sounds like the IUI would be really painful with what's happened to your cervix. Did they warn you about that possibility? Mine didn't hurt too bad, more like a little pinch. It's just that last time I felt absolutely nothing! So I worried that the cervix was closing/closed? Who knows.

Thanks for the well wishes. Same to you. I hope we both get our BFPs this month with one sticky lil' bean!!!

Hang in there girl! You aren't out until shows up! When is af due?

Hi ladies how are we doing?? I have my saline ultra sound scheduled tomorrow and I am super nervous is it going to be Painful?? Anyone experienced this??

I've never had a saline ultrasound so I have no experience to speak of, but hopefully it doesn't hurt like the hsg did! What did the doc tell you to expect? From quickly googling, it sounds like you should take some ibuprofen/advil beforehand as there can be some cramping.

If you haven't seen this, maybe you will find it helpful:

Good luck!! Let us know how it goes!

The testing is to see if there are any fibroids, polyps in utures so they want to make sure there is no problem to be able to conceive.

Thought I'd jump on. The title really spoke to me.
I go in Friday for our 6th scan (clomid/iui).

Part of me is feeling like if it doesn't happen in the next round or two, we might be done with ttc.

Good luck to all the gals on here.

 

[meiligurl]

hi ladies! joining your thread and wanna be a part of Team 2013

I had gone for my first ever IUI on Monday so today is 2dpiui. Time is sooo slow!!!

Just a little background, me and hubby have been naturally TTC our first for a little over 2 years to no avail. We consulted with an FS mid this year and was diagnosed with unexplained infertility. Fast forward to August, I started with clomid on cd 3-7 then 50iu Puregon on cd 5-14. +opk on cd14 noon so I triggered around 5pm the same day. IUI was done the next day with 2 beautiful follies - 1 on LO @18mm and 1 on RO @19mm. Lining was 10.8. The story leads me to today at 2dpiui

Good luck to everyone who's n the 2ww and to those waiting to start their cycle!!

 

[curni2112]

Just getting a chance to get back on here...Labor Day weekend was crazy busy!! And I swear coming into work after a holiday often makes the holiday seem pointless, with the short week feeling extra long for whatever reason lol.

So I had my follie scan on Sunday...had two growing nicely...RO 19mm and LO 16mm. He said for my first cycle I responded nicely to the meds, and should this round not work (which we are prepared for as the first is often just a trial run) he's very confident and positive that with some med tweaking subsequent rounds should be even more promising with follicle growth . I triggered Monday at 11pm...and had my IUI today at 11am. Hubby had 24 mil post wash (33 mil pre wash) which are super excited about as a SA a couple of months ago came back at 12 mil !

My ovaries are killing me today...the pain I'm experiencing trying to push these suckers out is horrendous...he said it should subside sometime today...but makes me feel confident about the timing! So now just waiting for an appointment on MOnday for a second HCG trigger shot to support the luteul phase and then testing on the 18th!! All appendages crossed for a BFP!
