IUIs 2014!!! Let's do this!!!

[Flannelsheets]

Nice, Heath! Keep us posted!!

Here is some symptom spotting from me. 5 DPO today. So far I've had creamy CM every day since O. My nipples are very sensitive and I am afrid to touch them. Nothing else. The nipple sensitivity is kind of new for me. At least usually it's not as bad and I haven't noticed. I am thinking of testing tomorrow to get a baseline for trigger so I will know if it gets darker or fainter.

So I finally gave in and tested this morning and I got a very faint 2nd line! The line is there, however it is VERY faint, so I'm a little nervous and can't bring myself to get excited just yet. I had a chemical pregnancy a few months ago so I'm really hoping that isn't the case again. Today is 15 days since my iui and I would think the line should be a little darker by now. I guess I will call my dr today to schedule a blood test to be safe, however I will be freaking out waiting for the results!!

Update, my left follicle stopped growing (13,5mm) and an other is 16mm still too early to trigger O. We want to see 20mm. Shooting for Saturday IUI. My RE told me that this cycle is different, slow growing follicle may be a good thing. Have you done IUI without HCG trigger?

Both of my IUIs had the trigger - but I then go way past the 2 week mark waiting for AF. I almost wish they would do it without it. FXed for you!

I didn't have a trigger for mine. But I only had one follicle on femara. A trigger was never even discussed. It was just "your LH and estrogen from your bw show you're going to ovulate tomorrow, come in tomorrow morning".

Oh guys.. I just found our my sister-in-law is pregnant again. This is so depressing! it totally ruined my day. I hate being that way but it just hurts.

I know exactly how you feel.

 

[moni77]

Sorry Kaylan - it is rough when everyone around us seems to be announcing their pregnancies. Hopefully it will be us very soon!

 

[pebbles10]

Can I join?
I had my iui yesterday. I have pcos and had one follicle on the left that looked good roughly 19/20mm and another that was only 16. My right side all the eggs were the same size and nothing really grew. All I need is one egg, so here's hoping.x
I'm starting my tww now and it seems an age away, or it might just be me?
Wishing you ladies luck.xx

 

[Kaylen]

Hi pebbles, yes the tww seems like it will never end.
I tested this morning (6dpo) to see if the trigger is still in my system and I got a BFN so it's gone. I am going to test again on Monday at 10 DPO. It seems like the closer I get to the end the less hope I have.

 

[heath81003]

Kaylen - I'm so sorry, I know exactly how you feel. It just doesn't seem fair!

I just had my blood test done so I should have an answer by end of the day. I took another hpt this morning and the line was even more light than yesterday. It was with smu so idk. I'm just so worried of another chemical.

 

[Kaylen]

Heath, are you using the same brand of test? If not, maybe that's why the line is lighter? Or simply the urine is more diluted? Everything will work out fine.

 

[GalvanBaby]

Hi ladies! I am on day 5 of injections for my second IUI. I go for monitoring Saturday and we will do B2B IUIs next week sometime. I used 75ui of Gonal F and Menopur CDs 3&4. Then, 75ui Menopur CDs 5, 6, 7, & 8. If my body reacts like before, I will need 3 more injections and will get 3 follies.

 

[moni77]

It is unlikely I will get to do IUI #3 this cycle. Waiting on labs to see if I can do the clomid and then try naturally while on vacation.

Poop, Moni. That stinks that the timing didn't work out. Next cycle? At least you'll be off enjoying yourself and not on a work trip, though. And stress relief can't hurt. I know I'd be frustrated, though..

Blood test for me tomorrow. I suspect that it will be negative, just because I've been getting my usual premenstrual migraines. No bbt drop, but I'm on progesterone, so no surprise there. But fingers crossed anyway. You never know.

Hello Ladies,

IUI #2 scheduled for tomorrow!!

Today is only CD10; but my doctor suggests us to go ahead with tomorrow. So different, my first and successful IUI in giving me a BFP was done on CD15.

My puregon injections went like this:

CD2 150 IU
CD 4 75 IU
CD 6 75 IU
CD 8 75 IU

Total IU for this month was: 375 IU whereas last time I needed 600 IU. So weird how things work!!!!


Anyway; I have one nice big follie which the doctor was really excited about; 2.4mm on the right side and sadly my left side is super poly cystic and produced a big zero.

Last time I used puregon I had 3 follies going in; this time it's only one. Hope this will be a good one!!!!!!


Husband went in for sperm analysis last week and his count has gone from 9.2 million to 48 million! This is pre wash ofcourse. Hope his postwash tomorrow will be good. I really really really do since he has been having big issues with low sperm count the past year.

The doctor has put me on premarin (conjugated estrogens) 625mcg for just today ...2 tabs after lunch and after dinner because she says my lining is a bit thin at .6 and we are trying to get to .8 right? i think that's ideal.

She was scared if we don't do the IUI tomorrow might lose the egg and since the clinic is closed Sunday - tomorrow was the best choice.

Need your blessings and good wishes!

argh i hate that feeling. i hate it i hate it and i hate it. the more i hate it the more it keeps coming back at me. guess i am just bitter and everytime i think i can handle it someone comes along and announces their pregnancy which just upsets me and depresses me more

i cant tell you how many friends have conceived, given birth and have had their next two or three babies already.

no one understands this feeling than us, those women who want a baby. i wish everyone could be sensitive to how we feel, but half of them dont even know what we go through.

*hug*

Good luck with the iui Jaan!

Kaylen, it totally sucks and I know how you feel as my best friend just told me she's pregnant and I just found out another girl in work is pregnant "by complete accident". Argh!!

AFM - I had my new schedule through and my next iui will be around 17th March so I'll be starting the clinic appointments / scans in early March. I have to take Norethisterone again to regulate AF before that but annoyingly they've told me to start taking it on what would be roughly 7dpo. Normally they'd expect you to take a pregnancy test to confirm your not pregnant before taking these drugs which could cause problems so what if (by miracle) I'm pregnant but it's too soon to tell? Gaaaah!!!

 

[Kaylen]

Thanks for the support guys. I've had a lot of friends who got pregnant during my ttc journey, but this one kind of hurts more, maybe because it's family and I really wanted to had the next grand child... This is her second one already. I am perfectly healthy and have no problems making eggs, and she has diabetes and has been told that it's very risky to have a child and is still able to conceive easier than me. I don't understand how this works. I guess it's good for her, but it still hurts.

 

[moni77]

Good luck with the IUI Jaan!!
How'd the blood test go Flannel.

AFM - estrogen too high - no clomid this cycle either. So, just trying completely naturally - which means I'll be enjoying my vacation and thinking about March! Maybe a couple Thai massages will help the little guys find the egg....I leave on Wednesday - so expect a lot of BFPs when I get back!
