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

Forums New posts
Well it's funny you should mention that Kaylen. When I told my boss I was starting IUI, he told me that he and his wife had also had similar problems except his wife kept miscarrying. It turns out that she had a blood clotting problem and the doctors put her on warfarin to thin her blood. After that the IUI worked.
 
We are on to IUI #2.
The want to repeat everything exactly the same because I responded to the meds so well.. The nurse kept on saying that I don't need CM since they inject past the cervix and I kept on saying that all our natural tries are useless in that case.
They don't do 2 inseminations back to back because as they out it "they only need one because it is timed perfectly". On one hand, it saves me $500, but on the other...

Anyways we will do one more and of its bfn they will reevaluate. I hope DH produces better sample this time.
 
Had a GREAT first appt with new office today. Blood work, ultrasound and instructions all done in about 20 minutes, was home by 8am woohoo. I have 8 follies on the right and 4 on the left. Meds start tomorrow!!! Next scan and bloodwork Friday!
 
Bash, wow that's awesome!! Glad your appt went good! And Thats a lot of follicles!! Hopefully this is a good cycle for you!! This is my first month on Femara and I only had one follicle on my right side. What are you taking? I'm currently 4dpiui so I'm hoping it worked this cycle!!! :)
 
jaysbaby---i will be on 300 units of follistem starting tonight woohoo...so the follies are tiny and quiet, hoping the increase in the meds wakes up a lot. Last cycle I had 2 on the left and maybe 1 on the right. I wish I would get 3 or more on each side. I'll take my chances with multiples.
another snowy day here in NY yippee (oh how i hate the winter!)
 
I'm thinking I probably have Endo because I keep getting dull pain after O. I noticed it for the last two cycles already. Maybe I have scar tissue in there, ugh.
 
I went in for ultrasounds today al excited about starting a new cycle and they found a huge cysts (45 mm) along with some smaller ones. So no IUI for me. They have me the option to take births control pills for 2 weeks and then start when I get my period or to take this cycle off and ttc naturally. So I went with the second. I feel like some pressure is off but I am worried that this cyst can prevent ovulation or burst or what not. I hope the doctor re consider the meds since I am getting cysts. I wonder if it's clomid that's the reason.
 
Kaylen - I got cysts from clomid as well, and had to take a 'natural' cycle to shrink them. That cycle was a few days shorter than my average. They switched me to femara after that with gonal f injections - a more aggressive approach.
You can always ask them to switch you to something else.

Sorry about the cancelled cycle - it sucks when you have your hopes up like that and then have them say no.... :hugs:

River, did you end up ovulating during the natural cycles when you had a cyst? I am so worried I won't ovulate. This cyst is on the right side where i had 3 follies, so probably one of them turned into a cyst. I only had 1 follie on the left so i hope this time i ovulate on the left.
I am somewhat excited about natural cycle and am thinking of making it a "screw it all" cycle. :) Meaning i am not gonna temp, and not gonna do opks and whatever happens happens.
 
Kaylen, that's a great approach! I didn't get any cysts on clomid but I did have one before ttc and the doc told me that it goes away on its' own and does really affect things. I'm assuming that means we ovulate.
 
Kaylen - I think I did, but it was earlier than normal.

Taking a break from temping and what not is great - doing it this month as a breather, and it has been great.

Kaylan~ same thing happened to me - I was all ready for IUI #2 and they called and said my estrogen was high - which meant a cyst. I was actually more upset about not being able to try then about the BFN from IUI #1. I am currently waiting for AF so that I can start IUI #2 cycle. We also did the natural route and I took the time off from temping and stuff. The doctor did tell me to go ahead and do the trigger shot so that hopefully AF gets here sooner.
 
Moni, are you waiting to test right now? Is it possible that it's a BFP?
 
Tested this morning - 14dpo and BFN. So just waiting for AF, which tends to arrive 15-16dpo - so just in time for my bday on Sunday!

Luckily my clinic is open next week so I can get started on cycle #2 (hopefully). It might include a 6 hour round trip back from visiting the inlaws in Mass on Friday for a scan butI am not taking another cycle off unless I have to!
 
My clinic is also open and weekends and holidays and that's why I like it.. There are many fertility clinics around here But I found out that one has significantly lower IVF costs - about 40% lower so of we get to that point I may switch.

I hope this cycle is the one for you!
 
Well I am officially set up to have my ET on 12/26!! I am so excited to finally be making some progress again. My OTD will be 1/6, but I'm hoping to get a positive HPT before then... so we shall see!

Hope everyone is doing well!! :flower:
 
Follies are brewing...one on each side over 10 Right is at 10 and Left at 12 and others still growing but under 10. Hoping by next appt Monday I have lots more (still 3 more doses of meds to go before then).
 
That's great hatethewait! Afm, I got af this morning. So that's failed iui #3.
