IUI - what to expect?

[WhiteOrchid24]

Good luck ladies! I hope it all works out for all of you this month

So I have a quick question..... When the Dr suggested IUI for us next month he only mentioned the 5 days of Femara.. nothing about a trigger shot... Have you ever heard of doing IUI without one or do you think he just forgot? If so what does it involve?

Maybe maybe they'll have you use OPK's? I would verify with them just to make sure. There's nothing worse than not knowing what you're going to be doing in these type of things that would drive me nuts.

I actually wanted to just do femera and no trigger. Doc said he doesn't recommend it because you have higher success rate if you do femera. Trigger. And iui. And if your going to take the time and money you might as well use what gives you best chances. But every doc has his own opinion

 

[floridamomma]

Yeah My doc recommend iui to me I told him hit me with everything at once I want to do everything I can to give myself the best shot to get pregnant and keep this baby I'm even going to take progesterone

Booked dh's test. Now it feels real, and unbelievable, and scary, and sad that clomid wasn't enough. Worried about the results and costs of everything that's coming.

Timetotry- so sorry hon. Are you doing Ivf? Some places offer financing and my dr even has funding to help some people

Florida- I'm going to be doing progesterone suppositories too for the first time starting Saturday day. Have you taken these before?

 

[Prayingforno1]

waitingongod1-I'm on the progesterone suppositories now. They are not all that bad BUT they can get a bit messy so I wouldn't BD near the time you use them. I read alot about side effects for me I've had a few minor headaches but apart from that I haven't noticed anything. I am fighting the flu as well so maybe the symptoms are being masked with the sick feeling I have. GL hun

 

[floridamomma]

Waiting – I have taken oral progesterone but I've given many suppositories as I'm a nurse LOL it can't get very messy and the progesterone suppositories kind of melt I guess you could say so they do create a mess.some people actually use them rectally because it's a lot less messy. Some studies state that it gets to the baby quicker doing suppositories but I don't know if it really matters. I've had some side effects from it not many mainly the thing to watch out for is that it will make you feel pregnant some people so we can't make you feel pregnant and you might not actually be pregnant

Im taking endometrin vaginally, strictly states only vaginally. They are messy as they melt it just seems like a lot of creamy discharge.. I take mine at 7 and 7 so i try to dtd before inserting the second one at night. Im on my third week of them and im soooo over it.. But im continuining til 12 because im not risking it

 

[waitingongod1]

Thanks ladies. Got mine in the mail today. We will see how it goes!

For the last couple of hours I've had some pain on the right side. It I had that since starting clomid. But I also have noticed some low back pain and it almost feels like my period is coming. I just hope that I'm not ovulating too early as my iui isn't until 10:30 tomorrow and I first noticed these symptoms at 2:30 today. I think I have ewcm as well. I don't want to miss the egg! Well we bd cd 6,8,9,10,12, iui is day 15. And we will bd day 15,16,17. Hopefully we catch it.

 

[Mississippi03]

I think the trigger increases ewcm because i had tons the say after trigger and the day of iui.. Dontworry.. The egg lives for 24 hours too..m

 

[floridamomma]

I actually don't really get ewcm or maybe I don't notice but it's a lot now. Cramping subsided

 

[Mississippi03]

Im sure itll be fine.. Fx for tomorrow

 

[floridamomma]

Thanks Mississippi. How are you feeling? Any symptom yet?

 

[Mississippi03]

Not really.. Some tender nipples. Odd twinges in lower abdomen.. But nothing otherwise!

 

[waitingongod1]

I've had cramping too since trigger. Temp hasn't gone up yet so no ovulation yet!

Hi ladies! I went in yesterday and one egg was big so I triggered. He said since I got pregnant before he wants to try timed intercourse. So I guess tww wait starts in a couple of days. I wad bummed that only one egg wad big, but after I researched I found out others may be bigger but it us hard to tell. I want my chanced increased.

Well my dilema is if it didn't work this time should I say I would prefer iui or try timed intercourse again. Our insurance covers iui no problem. But he said it us better to try this way if possible. I guess doctors have their own theories also. But I don't want to spend tons of money on opinions either. Lol

I had cramping, light headache, and chills after trigger. Is this normal?

So we shall see. It seems like everything is going well for everyone. Mississippi seems like you're rolling on te baby train. I'm really happy got you and so thankful that you are sticking out with us too. You are a great encouragement. I told my hubby I'm so grateful for b&b because of the support. Thanks so much ladies.

If they pay for it go for it. It's pretty much the same. The trigger you and then 36 hours later dh gives sample and they put it in a small catheter and insert it in your uterus
