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

[nicole_rc]

Ladies, Lots of POAS here! Hoping to see lots of bfps soon!

My IUI on Saturday was a no go Crazy what happened and it left me feeling depressed and sad all weekend. As you may recall I had done injections for the first time and had 3 follies ready. On Friday night I realiezed the nurse had forgotten to give me a cup for my hubs so I drove to our urgent care and they gave me 2 sample cups. I didn't think anything about the pad that came in the cup.. i just figured they were alchol wipes so I just took them out then Sat. morning we did the thing and I headed for my IUI. Well the nurse called me back and said there was no sperm moving,,, not 1!! We had 84 million last month so the nurse was shocked as I was as to what had happened. I left quickly feeling like I may pass out and die. Then in talking to my hubs we recalled the pad in the cup and how it did smell. Well it was Benzalkoium Chloride which when I googled it is a spermicide and causes sperm to lose their motility. I called the nurse back and she said that had to be it and likely the fumes in the cup killed our sperm I feel better knowing we didn't go from 84 million to 0! That just seemed impossible! So we BD'd and hoped for the best!

Wow Nicole that is crazy! Hoping the BF works!!

Sorry Dov - I'm in the same boat - still waiting for AF to hopefully move onto the next cycle.

 

[summer2011]

This is my second round of letrezole. Two pills at night for 5 days. Then check up in a week. Last cycle I had two large follicles. One 19 and 22. We did not go through with the insemination last month because I was hoping using the OPK would work. Sadly AF showed. This month we are going to do the full cycle with insemination.

Really looking forward to this cycle. It may be our month! Fingers crossed and lots of prayers!

trying for 9 months
low hormone
husband completely healthy
endometriosis but not located in tubes or uterus only on my cervix

Anyone have an answer to this?
If ovulation takes place very early morning (say between 12 and 3 am) do you count the day before as O day or the day of?

I had the iui on the 15th and had strong right sided O pains early morning on the 16th. Not sure if I should be considered 9 or 10 dpo.

BFN on cheapie this am. Nerves starting to kick in.

 

[moni77]

I count the day of - I like to err on early - so you should be DPO9 - too early for a valid test!

 

[summer2011]

Lol sounds good to me Moni!!

Today was test day. Stark white BFN for me. Waiting on AF, then on to our last IUI cycle before we start talking about IVF.

Good luck ladies in the TWW! FX for you!

 

[summer2011]

11/12 dpo for me and bfn Thinking I'm out for sure. Not the luckiest thread so far this month. Lol.

I think we'll sit down with our FS this month and request the ivf referral. Sucks that we'll have to wait 7 months till we can actually do it though. Boo

 

[jaan613]

boo!!!! not the luckiest thread this month at all!!!
sorry for those who are out this month and good luck for those who are still trying or are in the wait.

i am 14dPIUI today and also got a BFN. ARGH. I cannot explain my disappointment - and i am sure i don't have to since you all know how hard and difficult and annoying and sad and heart breaking this all is. i really was so positive for this month. my first ever bfp came on 15dPIUI so here's to hoping and wishing I see those double lines tomorrow when I wake up.

 

[jaan613]

15dpIUI the first IUI since I did back to back and BFN Doctor says to try again tomorrow morning. *SIGH*

 

[moni77]

Sorry for all the BFNs!

AFM - AF finally arrived yesterday so when I went in for blood and scans today I was totally expecting a cyst and having to wait a cycle but NO CYST!!! Right into IUI #4. I am taking this as a sign for good things acoming!! Starting clomid tonight and scan next Thursday at cd8 to see where we are at.

 

[jaan613]

Good luck Moni.

Still BFN here. This sucks. I felt a bit nauseous last night, we went to watch a movie and for 2 seconds I got so excited and realized I was probably imagining it because I wanted it so badly.

I'm feeling so depressed this time around; I really just wanna scream and I feel so...horrible

Moni, Super congrats! No cyst! Great news!

Summer sorry for BFN.

Sunshine, vitamins, fresh veggies will make us more fertile! I hope and pray we'll be baby bump buddies next month



I got my AF two days ago. I am glad it is not painful compare to last month. We are doing sperm dna fragm test on Monday. On Friday is my first u/s. We'll do a natural cycle IVF w/o meds again. My hubby's sperm improved a bit. Last month his morphology was 20%. It used to be 5%.
Loads of Supplements, sex and less stress....helped a lot. Also he cut out caffeine and decreased his alchohol intake.

I decided last month to prep ahead and purchase a batch of wondfos so i could test every day and test out the trigger. I've been getting very inconsistent tests since 2 days after trigger, most being faint or barely there when I know there must be >50-100 iu hcg. I had a batch in March 2013 that worked well, but this batch sucks! It was -20 degrees celcius where i live when they were delivered and they sat in the mailbox for who knows how many days! Not sure if this would affect their sensitivity??

Attached a pic of the trigger results, tell me what you think.

Should i trust these tests? I think i may see a shadowy line on some from 11-13 dpo but at 13 dpo a faint shadowy line may send me in panic mode as this is how it started last year

 

[jaan613]

I have never tested triggers so i dont know how to help

Think I am out, tomorrow is day 16 piui of my 2nd part of this month's back to back IUI. I just went pee and saw a teeny bit of blood so think by tomorrow AF will be here.

I am so confused. I am so heart broken. WHYYY OH WHYYY does this happen to us who so desperately want a baby.

In june (june 16 - july 10), I am traveling for a lil less than a month to go on a family holiday (much needed) with my siblings and mom to celebrate my moms 70th birthday. I would have continued IUI for April and May but my doctor said she wouldn't let me travel the first 12 weeks of a pregnancy since my first bfp ended up in a miscarriage. part of me is so tempted just to carry on anyway and see if it is successful and just miss out on a wonderful family holiday but part of me is saying this is just god's sign that i maybe i should take a few months off and maybe lose some weight & try to get healthier so these IUIs work and also so husband can try to be healthier too. I am not extremely over weight and I could shed a few pounds. Had this IUI worked it would have been perfected, I would have been 14 weeks and the doctor would have let me travelled. i am torn I dont know what to do.

 

[summer2011]

Sorry jaan

I can only speak for what i would do...
If you continue trying and get a bfp next month youd still be like 12-13 weeks by vacay time. She should clear you by that time shouldnt she? And since your MC last time was so early i think if you make it close to the 12 wk mark you should be fairly safe i would think.

I just looked at the instructions for the wondfo test and they say the tests are accurate THE DAY AFTER MISSED PERIOD!! I thought they were the early test ones. Ugh. So i'm not totally out yet, af due tomorrow or monday.

Goodluck my dear!! I really hope you get your bfp. Someone on this thread has to so we have a reason to be happy!
If I did carry on with iui next Month, and did get a bfp that would only make me 11 weeks before the one month vacay and my doctor said she would be uncomfortable until I was 12 weeks. Sigh. I will reconsider based on when I get my AF. Still waiting for now. Lower back aches have started - BOOOOOOOO

 

[jaan613]

Ok..AF showed up.... *dies a little bit*
