IUI - what to expect?

[wantingbubba7]

Hi Waiting, I tested this morning with an IC at 9dpo and it was a BFN I new it would be but I couldn't help myself.

So I'll wait a couple of days now and test at 11 or 12 dpo.

Tommorow I have bloods drawn. I had thought I would have tested but I held out to the end! This was the longest TWW ever! What makes it bad is that this was 1st IUI and my body is being different.

Other ladies said the cramps I feel could be from the progesterone suppositories. The bright side of a :bfn is that I'll finally know it was the meds causing it.

We got bold yesterday and went for a motorcycle ride last night. The twinges stopped for hours and I thought " Oh no I lost it" but they came back later that night. Made me realize I should take more care if I want a :bfp

Keep living your life until you get that bfp. Little eggies are buried so deep that nothing should hurt it that early

On to the next cycle.

We're not sure if we'll do another IUI right way or wait a little bit. We have no insurance coverage so it get pricey where we live. By the time I do 3 IUIs we'd be halfway to the cost of IVF. I have an appointment with regular OB to see about maybe doing Clomid while we decide.

Also, the progesterone made my LP really long (18 days and counting). Hoping my cycle starts in the next few days. Did anyone experience a long delay getting after stopping Progesterone?

 

[waitingongod1]

Surgar! I usually have a lp of 14 days. When I received a bfn on day 13 I stopped progesterone. So I started on day 15 then. Just a heads up mine was very painful. I guess it makes lining so thick. But I know some people have a lighter one. So guess everyone is different. You should start soon! So sorry your back on this road. Good luck whichever way you decide to go next!

Sugar I am so sorry it didn't work this time... Big hugs

Ok so I have a question - did any of you have any spotting/ light bleeding after taking Femara? I am on CD12 my OPKs are still negative but today I had some light spotting (pink) which then turned red. It was clearly blood but it wasn't much.... Not long after I had super sensitive bbs. Both have stopped now but I am very tender on both side (tubes area)... No one mentioned spotting to me before so I'm just curious if anyone else has had it or knows anything about it. I'm heading back to the clinic tomorrow for my 2nd ultrascan and REALLY hoping if all is ok and the smaller follicles haven't matured then they might do the trigger shot so we can do the IUI on Friday... SO nervous I have too many follies!!

Anyway appreciate any advice etc! Hope you are all ok

White- I've never had that on femera. Sorry :/ at least you have an appointment tomorrow!

Thanks mommieh I needed that
Just had a poor me moment after testing
I was saying to my husband I wish we knew when it was going to happen haha then we could chill out till then ..., wishful thinking hehe.
I'm starting to prepare myself mentally for ICSI eeek

 

[waitingongod1]

Wanting.- So sorry I was in your shoes last week! Such a roller coaster. Are you going to do another iui? I'm on cd6 2nd day of clomid. Decided to go for round 2 of iui! Best of luck this cycle!

Will they let either of you do injectibles instead of clomid? Injectibles have a higher success rate? Of course a higher cost though

I'm so sorry Wanting.... It's so unfair and seeing those stupid blank tests is such a kick in the stomach - I hate it.... Here's hoping next month is your month!

AFM: Well back to the clinic and another day of driving for a super quick appt. I'm a bit deflated because after having 7 follicles only 1 has matured... I don't understand it cause on Monday I had 3 large follies and now only 1?! It makes no sense cause I ovulate on my own anyway so I just feel like the meds were a total waste of time... They took a blood test and I have to go for another one (thankfully at a lab here in town) first thing tomorrow then wait and see what the results are. I am SO hoping I trigger on my own - I am not looking forward to doing it myself, esp as DH is away so literally would have to do it... Urgh I hate needles and seems so wrong to stick one in yourself!! Anyway at this point it looks like IUI at some point this weekend....

 

[wantingbubba7]

Thanks everyone it's nice to have support from people going through something similar.

Waiting, I will be doing 3 rounds of iui then moving onto icsi, just starting to prepare myself emotionally now for icsi though.

My doctor never suggested injectibles at all... I wonder why I she wouldn't give me that option. :/ when I ring monday ill see what she says.
Thanks again ladies.

I think all of us ladies have awesome can do attitudes. Some people are deciding to WTT this month because they don't want Christmas babies. I say there's no better gift than life. If it was me id teach my kiddo to love life and people; gifts and parties are secondary. I can't imagine missing out on a to plan a birthdate. I guess I'm just very eager.

 

[wantingbubba7]

Totally agree sugarlully that thought hadnt crossed my mind ... wtt so I dont have a Christmas baby , if anything it would be the greatest gift imaginable in my eyes

 

[wantingbubba7]

Good luck doing your trigger white orchid hope your IUI goes well.
