January's IUI's anyone Else

[Christina78]

Good luck mrs truth! They did the iui last night and are doing one tonight. They also checked my blood this morning to see if my lh surged with the trigger shot .... My e2 was 1350 and rising but lh was only 4! So they did the trigger and hopefully we get better news And my lh is up. I've found I am much more emotional this cycle. :s I think it's a combo of the meds and the fact that we are moving onto IVF which is terrifying. I so sad that we are going through all if this after losing our daughter...,I just seriously thought we would be cut a break by now
Having a hard time staying positive.,,.. Any suggestions ladies?

hang in there girl !! It will happen.. I just suggest to stay positive and look towards the future. It always helps me knowing that I have somewhat a plan instead of looking at TTC as a deadend road. Praying this is your cycle

Thanks ladies
Christina I'm now having iui number two tomorrow morning ( v day) as well my lh was rising but they wanted to see it a bit higher before iui number two. Like you said hopefully valentines day gives us some good luck! They are doing ultrasound before to see if the other two follicles matured and are releasing as well. Time will tell!
Good luck tomorrow Christina and good luck mrs truth on Friday!

Well I am mad as hell, I am ovulating from the left no follicles on the right and the left is the side they aren't sure if its open, they said its not when performing my hsg, then said partially open then stated it was open, and I am not wasting my money on a procedure that could be be useless! I just can't moments like this makes me not want to be bothered with TTC. So they verified that the opk's were positive but stated that femara gives false positives. They stated that I normally have three or four follicles each side but this time I only have one and that's on the left, my lining was perfect I am cd 11 and my follicle is 13 which may not become mature and is not worth another scan I am done with this TTC mess! My DH just have to face we can't have kids and this is OVER!! This has been more of a headache than anything in m life

Mrs truth I can only imagine how frustrated you are but you have to remember that either Fallopian tube can pick up an egg from either ovary so it's not over yet.
I know TTC is an emotional and frustrating journey and something we all wish we didn't have to go through but you have to ask yourself if you would be ok stopping now? If not then you just have to keep your eye on the prize and tell yourself you will do anything to get there.
I know with everything we have been through there have been many times we have a thought of giving up and that there is no point.... But we continue to push through. Sometimes you need to take a month off to take a breather and then start again. We are here for you and I know you can do this xxx

Oooh hun - Im sorry, its the worst news when you hear that you dont have many follicles or that you have ovulated early

My doctor had me on Lupron which prevents early ovulation. just an FYI maybe worth looking into

I had my cd21 progesterone taken today and I did ovulate my level was 15.3.....but I don't think we will be pregnant this cycle. When I took my last shot we were going through a tough situation and so we didn't bd the night of my trigger

 

[Brayr08]

Sugarpi, did you BD the next day? I've read your trigger is supposed to cause you to O 36 hours later.

 

[angelmom27]

Sugarpi I ovulated 24 hours after the trigger this cycle abd the egg lives for 48 hours once ovulated.

Ladies I had iui number two yesterday and had ultrasound before. It showed the two follicles released so we had our first iui the day before ovulation and the second hours after ovulation which is great timing my doctor says its important to do an iui right before ovulation so the swimmers are already up there once the egg drops.... Fingers crossed!!
Either way I'm very confident with our decision to move forward to IVF of this cycle doesn't work bc dh count wasn't as high the second iui and we are both emotionally ready to move forward.... Time will tell!

 

[sugarpi24]

Good luck angel!!!

I did the trigger at 6pm Wednesday and then we bded at 1:30pm Thursday afternoon and 130pm Friday afternoon and again Saturday....but idk. We will see. :/

Anglemom-We're doing one more IUI and then moving on to IVF/ICIS too. We're only going to get one shot at it though. The only thing insurance will help cover will be the ultrasounds and the meds. We'll have to pay for everything else and it will still probably cost us close to $10,000.00. It makes me sick to my stomach to think about, but I guess we'll do what we have to.

Sugarpi-I think your timing sounds great.

So I'm testing Thursday, which would be 14DPO(I think). When is everyone else testing?

 

[sugarpi24]

Ill be testing Wednesday at the earliest

 

[Dahlia]

to all of us!!!

Hi ladies...can I join? I'm not new to ttc as it has been 4 excruciating years. but I am new to assisted repro. This cycle was our first IUI. I'm 4dpiui.

 

[Mrstruth]

Hello ladies sorry I am so late responding! I had my scan yesterday at 8:30 my RE said that my one LiL follicle is mature it's 16mm and she is expecting it to be bigger by the time of IUI Monday! My endo was 14.25 and I would like for one of you guys to please tell me, is that good? I forgot to ask,they only told me everything is good. They also stated that they believe the Clomids and then quickly switching to the femara and not to worry they will be placing me on medication to increase my follicles next month if this isn't successful! My IUI is Monday at 8:30 DH has to be there at 7:30 to provide his semen! I am so excited. I triggered last night and did test to ensure it was in my system and it is, they did state that my follicle was at the tip of my ovary and that my left tube is open. So I guess we just waiting to see!

 

[angelmom27]

That sounds great mrs truth ... Good luck!

Sugar pi and Brayr are u testing this week or next? Ill be testing a week Wednesday.... Trying to keep busy on the 2ww

Brayr I know what you mean about dreading spending the IVF money but I just keep thinking I would spend any amount to have a baby again and I've got good vibes for us!!

 

[sugarpi24]

This Wednesday is the earliest I'm testing...I have some Internet cheapies coming. I may test earlier though but idk

Today as my IUI, we arrived at the clinic around 7:22 at 7:30 DH went to the back to provide semen. After which 8:00 he came back to the waiting room with me. At 8:15 the reception came and informed us that our plans had been changed and the insurance will only cover monitoring and not treatment. Hsg is covered, laposcropy is covered. S I had to pay 616 for the IUI procedure. I wasn't mad because of paying but because they told us it was and then it's not! Oh well at least the prices isn't as high as the clinic I was going to leave and move to, was charging. At 8:48 am I was called back to the back, where I had to verify my husbands semen. His count was 36 million after wash, which is considered great for a count after wash. The doctor came in, wash her hands, put on gloves, gave me the instructions son what the procedure consists of. The next step was placing the speculum in. She started with a small one but it wasn't long enough (my womb is tilted) so she wanted to are her time and ensure it was done properly, she then grabbed a long speculum and was able to properly add the tube and then inserted my husband's semen. After so I was told to lay there ten mins. I did so, they told me to test in two weeks if positive come back for lab test
