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

[Kaylen]

It was 226 at 14 DPO and 531 at 17, which is a 57 hour double time... I am worried but doctor says it needs to double 48-72 hours. I am going back for another beta tomorrow for my own peace of mind. Overall I feel good and not many symptoms at all. I don't feel pregnant at all, and very different from when I had m/c.
Also I didn't feel any different throughout luteal phase so don't get discouraged if you aren't experiencing any unusual symptoms.

Hey guys, I thought I'd pitch in again. This cycle I took baby aspirin all the way up to when I got my BFP. I stopped then cause I didn't want to cause any problems. But hey it worked!

Did you start taking the baby aspirin at the beginning of the cycle? I had my iui yesterday and I'm thinking it's probably too late to start it now.

 

[Kaylen]

I didn't start immediately, but it was before the IUI. I would think you can start now... Idk how effective this really is. Have you asked your doctor about it? I kinda feel bad cause I didn't tell him anything.

226 seems a great number at 14 dpo. Good luck on your beta tomorrow! Hope it's a great number

Kaylen, what meds produced 5 follicles? Were they all matured on the day of IUI?

Hi ladies,
Went in for my cd11 monitoring. Things are slower this cycle -- biggest follicle is only 14 right now, but most are around 10. So, I'll go in again on Sat. for more monitoring. Sigh.. Don't we all LOVE being poked and prodded repeatedly?!?! I really enjoy starting my day with a "light raping," as a friend of mine calls it...

Jaan, fingers crossed for you! You definitely have a few days left before we'll let you count yourself out!

Clomid 50mg cd5-9
Gonal-f 75 IUI cd 7, 9, 11

There were 2x 20 mm, 18,17, 15 and some smaller ones. I just happen to respond to the meds a lot even though those are the lowest dosages.

LMAO!!! "light raping".. guess that's one way to look at it!

I tested and got a BFN at 9dPIUI... I wasn't expecting a positive this early... I think my Lutal phase is longer... seeing how I had my IUI on cycle day 11 and i'm a 28 cycler on average... I'll be testing again in a couple days... I feel hopeful about this cycle.

Flannel,

Thanks!

13dpiui... Bfn

Doctor said if I don't get a bfp by Sunday (15dpiui) to stop the progesterone tablets and wait for AF.

Not even seeing a faint line. Just going with the idea that I still have two more days to wait and see.

Thank you ladies for being my support. Only you guys understand how this feels. My husband has been great but he is so calm and doesn't get the addiction I have to just knowing if it worked or not. Guess all men are different.

 

[dovkav123]

Jaan, sorry for BFN. You still have a couple of days of hope. Denis you have even more hope...
13dpiui BFN this morning. Dr. told me to check on 14dpiui again and than quit progesterone.
I feel I am out.

5 follicles Kaylen? Wow! My dr cancelled our Nov IUI because I had 4. That might help explain your hcg though. If more than one implanted by one May not have made it. Might be a good possibility of multiples for you

Hi everyone! Can I join you?

My name is Ella and I just had my first IUI today. I did Clomid day 2-6 and then 50iu Puregon (FSH) days 5-7. I triggered with Ovitrelle on Wednesday.

DH's count was 46 mil/ml post wash and I had four good follies measuring at 25, 21, 19 and 18mm on Wednesday. There's a chance another one caught up at the last minute too. I'm hoping that this is it for us.

Any advice on how not to go crazy during this TWW? Because I'm already ripping my hair out and this is just the first day...

Hi Ella, it sounds like you are having a great cycle. I kept myself from going crazy by finding something else to obsess over: playing video games haha!

Got my third beta today: 1633... Still the same doubling time.. At least it's going up.

That is very exciting, so happy for you!!

I'm in! I'm a few days away from IUI #2!

Hi ladies! Mind if I join??? I had my first IUI today!!!

We have been trying close to 2 years now with no success. I tired clomid at the beginning of 2013 then tried a few natural cycles. This cycle I was on Femara 5mg days 2-6. I am on CD 17 now. This 2week wait is going to be bad!

Good luck!!!!!!

I just had my first IUI today too! When are you going to test? This TWW is going to be the worst. Today has gone so slowly and it's only the first day....

hi ladies,

im in 2ww aswell, iui's on tues/wed...and 2nd trigger on thurs for 2 out of 5 follies still there. been feeling very nauseous this cycle and warm feeling in chest/front thorax. tend to get nauseous in the evenings, to start progesterone tonight. praying for a second miracle.

i feel more anxiety with this cycle than i did with my last. last one i think i only had 1 follicle, and somehow got preggers (dh 6+18 million post wash). this time had 5 follies: 1.9 1.7 1.6 1.3 1.3 (i think)...then when they tested after iui, there were two still left 2.0 and 1.9 so triggered me 2nd time. it felt weird knowing 2 perfect looking follies were left behind, wondering if they "missed" the sperm that went in. b/w confirmed i did ovulate the first time for sure, not sure why i had two laggers. so it feels "incomplete" somehow.

anyway praying for success, hoping these painful nipples, nausea and fatigue settle so i can start testing out trigger feeling not so 'sick'. this is exciting!

good luck and baby dust to all!!!!
