IUI - what to expect?

[Mommieh25]

Timetotry - OMG, that sounds horrific!! I thought my experience was bad but your one tops it!! I am slightly concerned with the IUI procedure hurting as my uterus is severely retroverted which is I think what caused the problem with my HSG as she couldn't get the catheter in far enough/ properly so could only get the dye in one side. Then randomly when I had my pap test about 6 months later the trainee dr.(sorry can't for the life of me remember what they are called when they have completed their degree but just training for 2 years at a dr's office) had major issues as well..... FX the FS will be much better since he does it all the time but still!

Mine is extremely retroverted also. Caused problems during my hsg. But re said it shouldn't effect an iui.

Praying it's almost test time. Are you getting excited,

I just got a call from the specialist they said I had 11 follicles. 3 on the left 8 on the right

Not excited at all Florida. Pretty sure AF is ready to show and the only thing that may be delaying her are the progesterone suppositories I am on. I took a hpt on sunday but it was BFN (11dpiui) . I am not going to take another hpt but if no AF by Friday I will do the beta and move on from there.

Wow you have alot of follies. What medication were you on? I only had 1 that was mature. I read that they cancel cycles if there are too many follies due to increased health risk but hoping and praying it all works out for you. GL in your tww hun

Don't give up. Your bfp could still be in the way.
They only told me there were 5-6. But I've still had some pain and a lot of cm so I called and that's when they told me there were 11

Floridamomma - If you are worried I would just call them and say you are concerned that they did the IUI when there was apparently 11 follicles of a good size and that you weren't informed of that before they proceeded with the IUI and is it safe etc... I'm sure they will be able to give you more info and reassure you about things

 

[floridamomma]

Thank you. I have a follow up appt next week. In going to try to wait until rhen

 

[Prayingforno1]

Thanks Florida. How many dpiui are you now? I know you tested out the trigger so when will you be testing?

 

[floridamomma]

I'm 5dpiui. The earliest on testing is Monday. I usually get a faint bfp by 10dpo. I really want to wait until at least Wednesday.

Hi ladies. Just checking in with everyone. How are you all today?

Anybody getting symptoms yet? I'm resisting the testing urge!!!!!!!!! IT'S SO HARD!!!!!!!!

 

[Prayingforno1]

Hi Mommieh25 well I still feel like AF is coming. Stopped the progesterone but will still go for beta tomorrow morning (doc requires beta after IUI unless AF arrives before the date of your beta). I toke a hpt cheapie last night and BFN not even a hint of a line so pretty sure cycle didn't work. So onto my IVF journey.

Thanks Mommieh that just made me smile

Good luck! How exciting for you!

Praying- I see in your signature your going to be doing ivf in may. Is there a reason why so far off? Your choice or doctor? I just wonder if I get there how many months it takes for it to actually happen!

I originally wanted to go for IVF in March but the clinic only takes a limited amount of IVF patients per month and March was booked (Februrary was not an option as I would have to be on BC for a few weeks before IVF). I live in The Bahamas and have to travel for IVF and due to work commitments April was not a good month so we decided to go with May. If you do have to move onto IVF it will probably not be as difficult for you to schedule and coordinate although I read on some of these threads that some clinics have long waiting lists.

Praying not to get off topic but I am coming to visit you! You live in paradise!!
