January's IUI's anyone Else

[sugarpi24]

I never took any? Should I ask about it?

 

[sugarpi24]

Also af showed up full force this morning! but should I ask my doctor about progesterone?

 

[Brayr08]

It might not hurt to ask. They put me on it b/c there were months that I would start the brown spotting the day after I ovulated! Other months I would spot brown at least a week before AF actually showed up. I guess that can be caused from low progesterone, which can cause you to have chemical pregnancies. Since I started taking it, if I have any brown spotting, it's no more than a day and a half before AF officially arrives.

 

[sugarpi24]

I asked them and they said that my Dr would give it to me if he thought I needed it but my progesterone level has been good...so okay. I go in Monday for an ultrasound and then start femera that night and then they are going to show me how to do injectables...and I start those next weekend...so yikes! We will see next month!

 

[Brayr08]

I'm also doing the injectables. Honestly, it's noth'n. You kind of phsyc yourself up about having to stab yourself, but you don't feel it. I'm guessing I'll start mine again on Tuesday. I haven't started yet, but I'm sure AF will show her face tomarrow.

 

[sugarpi24]

Well hopefully this next month is it!! Pleassseee!! is there a February IUI thread?

 

[angelmom27]

sugarpi and brayr im right behind you! Im just waiting for my af..hopefully in the next week and then starting injectables.......fingers crossed ladies for better luck!!!!!!!!

 

[Brayr08]

sugarpi, how'd your appointment go?

AF officially arrived today. I'm going to my FS tomorrow morning, so hopefully everything goes well.

 

[sugarpi24]

My appt went good. I have no cysts so that's always good...and I start femera tonight and I start doing injections of follestim Friday night and then do that for how ever long go back Monday next week for another u/s ans blood test and then do an injection of ovidrel...so hopefully it works. :/ nervous about doing the injections... :/ good luck tomorrow morning let us know what they say.

 

[angelmom27]

Good luck Brayr and Sugarpi!

Has anyone ever had a cyst before? Wondering if that would make my period a bit late? I've been spotting but nothing full yet.... Just want it to come already so I can start the next cycle

 

[sugarpi24]

I haven't had a cyst before but I heard they can be painful.

 

[angelmom27]

It hasn't caused any pain but its very tiny.... Nothing they would operate on or anything. It just passes by the time you start your next cycle. I've started provera so hopefully it will cause my monthly friend to show up in a week

 

[Mrstruth]

My af is due this week I asked my RE and the scan showed no cyst they stated they didn't see any, which puzzled me because they stated that they seen something tiny but don't think it's nothing. So have any of you called in to schedule your scans in preparation for the IUI?

 

[Brayr08]

I had my first scan today. My right ovary has a ton of cysts on it, but left is clear. The ones on my right apparently are small enough not to worry about so on we go! I start my meds tomorrow night and go in Tuesday to see how everything is progressing. I would guess I'll have my IUI on Wednesday or Thursday. Hope February is it for us ladies!

 

[sugarpi24]

I hope it is too bray!!! Does the injections cause cysts?

 

[sugarpi24]

I don't think we will be doing IUI this cycle due to us only being covered for 6 a lifetime I thought ours was unlimited...but I just talked to my insurance and my doctor was wrong...its only 6 a lifetime! that sucks! At least it covers some though

 

[sugarpi24]

My Dr is calling to verify because they qouted them unlimited :/ I hate insurance!!

 

[Brayr08]

The cysts are from the injections.

Oh no Sugar! Did they give you an estamite on how much it would cost w/out insurance?

 

[angelmom27]

That sucks sugarpi but at least you have some covered .... We have none and no meds covered :s but we do what we have to

Brayr our doc said injectables rarely cause cysts but the increases in femara or clomid do. Are you just on injectables?

 

[Brayr08]

I was on clomid in November and December then went on injectables in January. I don't know if the clomid was the initial reason and then the injections just irritated it? Who knows...Last month was my first time getting them though.
