IUI - what to expect?

[waitingongod1]

Iui went well today. Sperm count was 35 mil. Which is big improvement from 12 mil. Last month! Doc said 30 percent chance. Crazy how low it still can be with 10 follicles!

Wanting - what do they do blood work for?

The odds when it comes to TTC are horrendous!.... Really it's a wonder anyone ever gets pregnant! So excited for you Waiting - great results with your 10 follies and his count so I have everything crossed that it works!!!

My blood tests are to detect ovulation I guess a more accurate way then me using ovulation tests, im about to ring the dr now and see if im 'ready' yet

Waiting, this will be my second IUI. I started this thread lol for my first IUI and what to expect. My first IUI did not work either.
Unfortunately my blood test said I'm no where near ovulation so I have to wait another 2 days to go back - so weird because last month on clomid I ovulated so early.

 

[waitingongod1]

wanting- so sorry got confused. That is weird what cd are you on?

 

[wantingbubba7]

All good it does get confusing on here with everyone sometimes.

Im day 12 at the moment last month I had my IUI on day 12. I'm not going for another blood test till day 13 now. For some reason ovulation is delayed could be the fact my sister announced her third pregnancy at a family bbq on the weekend after like 2 months of trying. She said it in front of everyone even though she knows we've been trying for over 3 years now. She could of given me heads up I didn't know what to say or do. Obviously I'm happy for them its not her fault I cant get pregnant but it would of been nice if she gave me heads up though beforehand.
I basically had a nervous break down after we left :/ I've seen my brother have a baby my hubby's sister have a baby and now my sister will be having one since we've been trying Oh and multiple friends. If my IUI worked last month my sis and I would be due the same time
It all gets so depressing and hard sometimes doesn't it!!!

Hope everyone is well.

It does I completely understand! My twin sis just had twins like 2 weeks ago and we've been trying way longer. I kept telling her we could each just take one baby haha she didn't go for it

 

[wantingbubba7]

haha that just me smile waiting, good to see you are keeping a sense of humor through it good on you.
I find it so hard how I can feel so happy for my family but then feel so sorry for myself... I'm ok now after having a big talk to my mum and dad about things, they didn't realise what was going on (that I've been seeing a fertility doctor for 6 months) I only talk to you guys on here about things.
They thought we were still having fun with it all haha

Officially started the iui process.
I'm on femera, menopur, probably ovidrel to trigger, and prometrium for the tww (up to 12 weeks preg if successful). Plus I have to continue my metformin.
I lucked out because my appointment was today at Cd 4 and usually they start drugs on cd3 but they rushed me in for bloodwork and ultrasound and said I was good to start today! So glad we don't have to wait!

 

[waitingongod1]

timetotry- yah! Good news! Good luck! Keep us updated!

 

[wantingbubba7]

Good luck timetotry hope all goes well, keep us updated

 

[wantingbubba7]

As for me my IUI is booked in tomorrow for 11:15 woohooo

 

[waitingongod1]

Yah wanting-! Hoping you have tons of follicles for the day! !
Do you have a lot of cramping during this window on clomid?

 

[WhiteOrchid24]

Great to hear TimetoTry and Good luck Wanting!!! I have my FX for you both this cycle!!

AFM: 11dpiui.... Holding out testing til Sunday (unless AF has arrived!) but it is torture! One minute I think I am completely out the next I think it might have worked!! 3 more days to go til I find out....

 

[waitingongod1]

White - I feel the same way. Positive one minute. Negative the next. And I am only 3 dpo!and snowed in with nothing to keep my mind off of it! Grr

 

[WhiteOrchid24]

Well ladies, it looks like I am onto round #2 of IUI....

Quite out of the blue I've had some spotting.... No other symptoms or warnings that it was coming other than I'm extremely tired.... Bbs still aren't at all sore but have had twinges of sensitivity today which seems to becoming more persistent...

Feeling super sad and down about it and I'm assuming bleeding will start tomorrow which will be 1 day early but confirm that as I suspected I did O on the Saturday night.... Urgh... I hate this! Still must stay positive for round 2. This time the Dr wants to do injectables...

Hope you are all ok x

 

[waitingongod1]

white- so sorry. I was super bummed on my first iui, well lets be real I am super bummed every month. I will be the most for iui# 2. It is hard to be positive but being positive makes the days go by faster! How do you feel about the injections?
