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

[moni77]

I think our plan is 4 iuis and then we will move onto IVF. We have saved the money now since we had to take 2 cycles off - just hoping to spend it on baby stuff instead!

We have done 2 - so 2 more to go - at this rate, it will be may when we start looking into IVF. My RE says it will be about 12k.

That is so expensive Moni! I was looking at Dr. sher's clinic and they have this micro IVF what is only 6500. The difference being there are less meds to take and you don't have as many eggs, but they recommend it for younger couples that have good egg quality.

 

[Kaylen]

And to answer the question, we were planning on doing 3 IUIs, but that has not been discussed with doctor. We were going to take a cycle in between each of then to try naturally. And then try IVF. But know when I learnt about this DQ match stuff I think I want us to get tested before we spend money on IVF.

good luck during your TWW

I just did my IUI this morning too. 12mil spermies are swimming in me. CD 16 today and my follicle was 20,6 mm, havn't o'ed yet and didn't trigger this month.
What was the size of your follicle on the day of IUI?
Are you on progesterone?

kaylen, I have heard about dq match, dr. Sher talks about it a lot. MY ER doesn't beleave in it. She thinks we havn't found a healthy embryo yet. I can test dq match in the lab, I don't need dr. prescription. Also it's important to check natural killer cells but my lab doesn't test them. At this point I am interested in checking my dh's sperm dna. We'll do it after failed cycle.

That sounds like a great option - however, we are not a young couple (I'm 36 - he's 35) and with the male factor issues - we would be opting for the ICSI IVF - where they actually place the sperm into the egg - which is why it is a bit more as well.

Hopefully, none of us need to go that route!

I hope to find success with upto 6 IUIs before we move on. I kind of feel like since I have gotten an BFP through IUI it is possible for us. Just have to have hope hope hope. Its mad expensive for us Fertility work is not covered in insurance here in the Philippines. BOOOOOO.

Hi Ladies. It's been awhile since I've posted on this thread. AF got me February 1st and we've begun our IUI. I trigger tomorrow night and have 3-5 eggs ready to go. Here's what I need advice on... 4 days ago, my ultrasound showed my lining at 8mm and at today's scan it was almost 15mm. I've been crying all afternoon because I just can't handle another obstacle to overcome. Has anyone had or known of anyone with a thick lining and had successful implantation /pregnancy? My doctor is cautiously optimistic but I know this cycle is doomed. Please encourage

 

[CrystalRN]

Having my first iui next week! Super nervous/excited!

 

[jaan613]

3 dpiui and going crazy already; good lord!

 

[dovkav123]

3dpiui for me too, I am imagine now that my egg found the way to the tubes, met the sperm and my little sticky bean is traveling down to my uterus.
I have 2 preg tests at home, it's too early now. If I get positive, I 'll go for the blood test. I am starting my vaginal progesterone this morning.

Cristal, IUI!!!

xurfingers, don't worry. I always have a great lining, this is not a problem to me and not a problem to you. Thin lining could be a problem.
On CD7 my lining was 7mm. On CD16 on the day of IUI it was 14mm.
Praying and hoping for sticky beans!

I have a question for all! Have you felt pain during BD during O day?
I do always feel it.

 

[Kaylen]

I always feel pain around O time, especially if it is right during O. I cramp a lot usually so the BD only makes things worse. But if it is a few days before O then no pain at all.

to all of you in your tww and waiting to test! I hope you all get a BFP this month!

I am on my 4th iui cycle and if this doesn't work we will most likely do a diagnostic lap and then go from there. I'm currently taking Femara and will go on Monday to have the ultrasound.

I haven't been taking progesterone after iui but I have seen that a lot of you do. What is the reason for this? I wonder if this is something I should ask my dr about taking?

Heath, what does the diagnostic lap do? What type of issue can it uncover?

I am taking progesterone because my luteal phase is only like 11 days so it helps extend it a little. My doctor said they prescribe it to everyone as a precautionary measure. For me it really doesn't give me more than 1-2 days and I still spot before AF, but I am taking minimal doses.

 

[heath81003]

I had an hsg test done last year which showed that my left tube may be blocked. My RE wasn't totally convinced that the shown blockage wasn't just a spasm which is why we decided to try the iui first. The laparoscopy will be done to determine if my tubes are blocked and if there is anything else going on in there. They may be able to clear them out if blocked depending on the situation.

 

[Kaylen]

Has anyone tested yet? Hoping, do you have news? I am testing tomorrow morning at 12 dpo. So far i had a tiny spec of potting yesterday once, and one today and that was it. I feel hopeful. But we will see. Boobs are killing me!

Good luck! I am excited for you.

 

[jaan613]

ladies, i am confused. I had a trigger shot on Feb 7, and IUI on Feb 8. For fun I decided to do a HPT to 'test out the trigger' but it was negative?
isn't it suppose to be positive? am i just not getting this? please clarify thank u

 

[Kaylen]

I just tested and it's a BFP! With a FRER. The line is so light but it is unmistakably there. I hope this is real! And I can't believe it! I never thought I'd see a BFP again!
