January's IUI's anyone Else

[Mrstruth]

I forget how weird my dreams get being on the meds !!

Mrstruth - yeah for CD1 and getting to start your meds !!
I agree with you on the tubal - I personally will not do it again and would tell anyone that wants it done to think about it really really hard before having it done, think about birth control first before going that route. I do have to say part of me is glad I did it and part of me wished I didn't

Tubal is a very hard decision

Yes it is a big decision! At the time I made the decision I was in a unreconcilable marriage and was 22 with my third unplanned pregnancy. I wished I would have just gotten the IUD like I started to but I didn't. A regret of mines. But hey now me and my DH is trying and we will eventually get that BFP

Afm today is cd2 tomorrow is meds day I am happy about that. Oh how I want this IUI to do the trick

Only 4 more days til I find out if my follicles are good!! :/ hey ive been wonderig this...follicles are eggs right? No one has really explained it...they just say lets look at your follicles...

 

[angelmom27]

Thanks for the welcome and I'm happy we can all share as we go through IUIs together
I completely agree about the dreams on the meds! And since they have doubled my dose of femara before I start injectables on day7(tomorrow) I've been feeling really odd...... Not very hungry and kind of like I felt in my first trimester. I know I'm not pregnant ( obviously with the ultrasounds watching my follicles this cycle) but still just feel strange. Does anyone else have side effects like that? Also how many eggs have you ladies had with injectables? Anyone had a cycle cancelled?
Hoping we all get our blessings this month!!!

This is my third time on the Gonal and never had side effects besides feeling full near my ovary area like you went to a all you can eat buffet .. Just full and crazy ass dreams

Before when I did IVF I got 20 plus eggs, so I'm hoping not to get that many but will find out more tomorrow

Okay so I am starting to drive myself crazy with symptom spotting. I know that progesterone can cause many of the same early pregnancy symptoms but do you all know if it also causes an acute sense of smell? Before I knew that I was pregnant with my daughter, I could smell everything before others and it started today. it is just the progesterone?

 

[Brayr08]

hey girls! Mind if I join? This month I will be doing my 3rd IUI and 3rd round of follistum injections, ovidrel trigger shot & progesterone suppositories. The last time I did this (August) I had 2 follicles measuring around 24 & 1 around 14 & DH had over 90 million good swimmers. Still got a BFN. I am currently on CD5 & go back for a blood draw to check my estrogen level & an internal US on Wednesday. I'm hoping for 2-4 good size follicles. Praying this is our month ladies!!!

I think I may have had a chemical. But can't prove it. I tested out of my trigger shot, then two days later I got a very light BFP. The same day I had spasms/cramps that encompassed my whole abdomin. I layed down right away until they went away. The next day I started spotting and the morning after that I had a VERY heavy period.

The suppositories are working well. They are extending my cycles about a week. I used to spot for at least a week before AF showed up (one month I started spotting the day after O and didn't stop until AF arrived) and now I don't start spotting at all.

When I did my first IUI about a year ago, I had at least 11 follicles and most of them died out and I ended up with 2 really good sized follicles (25 & 27 I think). Hopefully that's what happens with you girlie!
