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

Is it terrible that during the tww, every morning I wish to wake up sick and throwing up?! lol :winkwink: :wacko:
 
Hello all ~ back from my vacation and I was hoping to see better news on this thread. Oh well- this month is it!!

AF got me on my flight back so I went in for day 3 labs and scan today. Waiting for the call that I can start meds tonight and finally move onto IUI #3. While away, I had a chance to visit chimi lhakhang - a fertility temple in Bhutan. I got blessed there and prayed for BFPs for all my B&B friends. So FXed for all of us.

Jaan - looks like we are on a similar schedule this month - my next scan (as long as I get the green light) will be on the 6th as well.
 
@xopiinkiieox I am sorry, I know what you mean. I am getting AF too and I feel the same. I always start to feel better around cycle day 3, I hope you do too.

@jaan613 That is so exciting. I am starting mine on either Sunday or Monday. I can't wait to get this show on the road. I was originally supposed to do puregon but I switched to Gonal F. Do you have any side effects? I am one of those people that doesn't even like to take tylenol so injections worry me a bit. Is the IUI painful at all? Also, I am a coffee drinker and I am seriously considering cutting it out and going to the gym out. I just don't want to do anything that could affect my chances.

hey natalie!
what made you switch to gonal? i am living in asia and here puregon is the most common injectable. since it worked for me the first time i did an IUI, i am happy to stick with it until i get another BFP! i had a failed cycle in january when i tried switching to another drug - so for now i am just going to stick with puregone. the first cycle with injections i produced 3 follis, in feb i only produced 1. let's see where this month takes me! The IUI itself isn't painful for me, the first time i felt some mild cramping but it disappeared soon after. Regarding the coffee, my doctor said 2 cups a day should be fine, so I stuck with that, if I could, I'd skip afternoon cup and have my morning cup. Depended on my day!
It is exciting, confusing, and sometimes just drives me crazy, prepping for the IUI, doing the IUI, surviving the two weeks after!!

This time I PROMISE MYSELF (AND ALL OF YOU LADIES) i am NOT going to test BEFORE 13dpiui. I drove myself MENTAL last month!!!



I have coverage for Gonal F and my girlfriend used it and had her little boy, so I thought why not! Thanks so much for the info, I really appreciate it. I am so excited/anxious about things!! The TWW is pretty much torture lol, there is no way around it. I am going to do my very best to keep busy! When is your next IUI?
 
I have a question...AF started to show up last night (I noticed blood when wiping). Early this morning, it was a full blown AF. So I counted today as CD1. But, my RE couldn't get me in today and is out Monday. So my baseline scan will be Tuesday...CD5. That's the last possible day to start meds. I'm now worried I should count last night as CD1 (really, it could have come on late last night), and skip this cycle. I don't want to get meds going late and mess everything up. Have any of you been in a similar situation??
 
MOni, sending you blessings for you! Thank you for praying for us in Bhutan.

xoppii, I have never been in your situation. Sorry I can't help much.
If you have red, it means your period started on that day.
I am sorry you may need to skip your medicated cycle.
If you O on your own, you still can do IUI with your natural cycle. COme for U/s on CD7 or CD8.

My U/s is on Friday on CD9. WE may do another natural IUI or naural IVF w/o meds
 
Moni - welcome back! Excellent thinking to go to the fertility temple! I love it.

Xopi - my RE's office says day 1 is "full flow before 5 p.m." So, it sounds like your counting is correct - CD1 as today. I haven't been in that situation, but if it were me, I'd trust my RE that day 5 was still ok.

I'm 4 dpo, and have had enormously sore boobs the last two days. It's definitely because of the progesterone prescription. I don't see how it could be caused by anything else at this point.
 
xopi - I agree with flannelsheets for how you count CD1. I think you're fine for your CD5 baseline scan/meds beginning. Did they ask you when you started when you called in? I would say though, if you feel uncomfortable with proceeding, sit out this cycle and give it a natural try.


AFM- I have a question for you ladies. Anyone been incredibly bloated with strong pinching/twinges in your ovary area from around 6dpiui til 8dpiui? (I assume it's going to continue on, but I'm at 8dpiui now). I was slightly worried that I had a mild case of OHSS at the beginning of my tww and it hasn't gotten much better as time has gone on. Then it became more noticeable around 6dpiui. I'm still slightly concerned, but if it's something that's normal, I can relax.

Hope March will be a better month!

Natalie, I am not sure yet. Sometime soon. :) I go in for an U/S on march 6 which is my CD 9.

Wish me luck!
 
CD 1 today FINALLY! Have my baseline tomorrow so hoping all is good so i can start meds on wednesday. Started seeing a naturopath who came recommended by a coworker who went through 2 ivfs. She has suggested a gluten free and reduced dairy diet with iron and b12 supplements and acu. Want to get 3 acu appts in before the iui. At least its something different to occupy myself with. The cycle we got our bfp i was seeing an acu, although she was not a naturopath. Anywho, good luck to all trying this month :dust:
 
Well Monday was CD 1... Again. Going to try iui #2 this month. Will be doing ferama 5-9 with a trigger again, hopefully DH counts will be a bit better this time around. Hope I have the luck of the Irish this month!
 
Got the go ahead to start meds this morning. On a decreased dose of femara and puregon (2.5 & 37) to avoid too many follies :/. So weird cause I've mostly read of increasing dosage to up follie counts. Anyway, feeling pretty hopeful about this cycle.
 
Crystal looks like our cycles will be really close this month. Do you have any plans to test? Before af? On expected af day?
 
Summer2011 my plan is to wait til AF arrives but I can't always make it! I will be busy as I'll be leaving for Jamaica the next week so hopefully the distraction will be helpful! How about u?
 
I plan to test out the trigger and hoping to see a line by 10 to 12 dpo if successful. Only a very light line on 14 dpo during our MC cycle as hcg was very low, so I'm thinking if nothing by 12 then chances are not good.
 
Ugh.. deep into the tww at 8 dpiui. I've had sore breasts for five days and lethargy and slight nausea for 2. I have to believe that's the progesterone my RE put me on and not anything else, but I sure hope something is happening -- I'm certainly tired of going through these mild but annoying symptoms with no result!

It's super unlikely that these are pregnancy symptoms at this point, right?
 
You never really know flannelsheets. Only symptom I really had with bfp was a decreased appetite that I remember.

Are any of you on luteal support? Doc switched me from crinone to endometrin cause crinone was out of stock. Just wondering how they compare.
 
Flannel, summer hope and pray your IUI will turn into BFP soon!
Jaan how was your scan? When is your IUI?

I had a scan today and we found 18mm follicle on the L side. So we are doing IUI#2 on Monday. Wish me luck!
