I went for second scan today. He said I have a lot in left and he couldn't really see right.(my ovaries are hard to see. But he said he does suspect they will be big enough by Friday and I can trigger then. So I'm praying all goes well!

 

[Mommieh25]

Also Good to hear Florida!

 

[waitingongod1]

Yah for you girls! Such an exciting and nervous week for us!

Waiting I agree. But as my RE said. You must have FAITH! So I am definitely letting go and letting God!

Sorry been gone for a few days ...

Congrats Mississippi that's awesome news keep us updated.

How is everyone else going?

How is everything with you Waitingongod? You should be pretty close to doing your IUI now?

Me, I'm on Day 2 of my cycle and have started Clomid today. I go in for a blood test on Day 11 and then my Dr will tell me where to go from there i'm very nervous and very excited! Such mixed emotions

Well just checking in to say "Hi" and "Good luck" and to everyone.

 

[floridamomma]

Good luck to everyone this week! I'm nervous I trigger tonight I hope the little follicles are ready

Hi everyone bit bummed today. Had appt with IVF doc and she pretty much said given mine and DH conditions (endo and poor SA) she would have never recommended IUI as statistically it's a waste of time and money. She would love to be proven wrong and I hope I can prove her wrong but can't help feeling a bit bummed/discouraged. Cried my eyes out but if we do need to go forward with IVF she is definitely the one we will go with as the consult was really good and she was extremely understanding and knowledgeable. Still keeping hope alive that we get BFP this IUI cycle as I know who the creator of life is. Happy Hump Day to all!!

Praying that's right! God has the final day! I will keep you on prayers.
I found out that my endometrial lining is at 7.7 as of yesterday is that good?

Yes I agree in prayer too. All things are possible. Never give up!

 

[waitingongod1]

Anything is possible girls! So hard to remember our create is bigger than these statistic numbers they throw at us.

I went for my ultrasound today -cd12. ...only one follicle. About 20 (don't know the measurement unit lol) kind of was disappointment but doctor said a lot of times on Femara you may only get one follicle. Plan is to go ahead and trigger tonight and iui Friday morning. Lining looks good. Decided to do this because we are both unexplained fertility. Doc think could be eggs not releasing or mucus problem which iui will help with that even with just one. What would you girls have done?

If this cycle doesn't work will be switching back to clomid. Yuck just had horrible side eeffects when on before. but worth it if it gives me more follicles I guess

 

[Prayingforno1]

waitingongod1-If it were me I would continue with the cycle as you decided because it gives you a greater chance of BFP vs trying on your own (I think this is right).

Thank you all for your kind words and encouragement.

I only had one mature follie at 18m when i triggered.. My next closest was only 13mm..
It only takes one.. Clearly im proof of that! Fx girl!

So my 3rd round of clomid wasn't successful. So we start the process for iui. I'll be calling my clinic tomorrow.
Did any of your partners have to be tested for antisperm antibodies? We have to do an advanced semen analysis to see if we qualify for iui. If we don't, then it's ivf (which we can't afford right now). Ugh.

 

[Mommieh25]

WaitingonGod I agree. I will be praying. You're still not out yet!

Timetotry I'm so sorry. But prayerfully the Asa will be great and you will have no problems. Please keep us posted.

Yes, DH had to be tested. At least they did yours as a pre req. My doc's office remembered to do the testing when I was near ovulation in my 1st IUI med cycle in August. I couldn't believe they would have me use such expensive meds and go through the emotional process without ensuring everything was a go. Well fate should have it that we had to cancel that IUi cycle anyway, but his results came back good to go.

Trigger shot...he said 11pm...big deal if I do a little early or important to do exactly at 11?

Whens your iui?

I did my shot at 10pm on a sunday and had iui tues at 9am

As long as you are in that time frame id say you are fine

 

[floridamomma]

36 hour window so as long as our UI is within 36 hours on the timing and checked yourself you should be good
