January's IUI's anyone Else

[Mrstruth]

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?

Ingodshand what's dpo are you? And that will say alot.

Brayr hello :wave: Welcome to the wonderful world of TTC through Jan 2013 IUI. Out of all your IUI's have you ever received a BFP. Ae your body reacting good to the suppositories or have you even started yet? I hope this time you receive. Your BFP .Christina keep us informed tomorrow about your follicles.. Good luck

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.

You may have had a chemical because for four months I always received lite positives from 11dpo until 13dpo then boom af arrives and it's a different af then my regular af. So I understand what you mean and went thru. To get excited and excited thinking the hcg is going to double and it only Fades and af come s a heartbreaker.

are you taking progesterone supps? Did they tell you why you werespotting? Your cycle sounds really similar to mine but the doctor did not think it was a big deal? I pretty much made then put me on the progesterone this cycle.

She is very Non'chalant and it's more on what I want to do she is fine with it. I am thankful for her and requested the progesterone suppositories

I am so anxious for you to test already. I am looking forward to it

 

[Christina78]

I'm praying for you to get a BFP when you test !!

 

[angelmom27]

Ingodshands... I'm so excited to find out! When I got pregnant with my daughter I was on progesterone as well and didn't have any spotting but that's not to say you aren't pregnant my dad is an Obgyn and he said there are all different side effects. As for testing early, if you had an hcg shot a pregnancy test can show a false positive for up to two weeks afterwards.... That can explain a faint line and then your period a couple days later. Fingers crossed for you!!!

Christina .. I can't believe you have eight eggs!!!! Will they still do an iui with eight? Our fertility clinic said she wants to see three mature eggs max otherwise they cancel bc the rise of quads etc :s

I started my needles today ( day 7) after the four days of increasing femara. How long are you guys usually on the meds? I've heard it can make you ready to ovulate earlier? I'm normally a day 17 ovulate but wondering if ill be earlier now. I go for ultrasound Friday ( day 11) to see how things are going.... Here's hoping we have some on both ovaries

Do u guys normally get eggs on both when on injectables?

So excited for us!!! Got good vibes ladies

Yes you should get eggys on both sides !! my doctor didn't say they would cancel my IUI - they did lower my dose so we shall see what goes on Wednesday !! I could do twins but more holy moly

 

[angelmom27]

Lol can you imagine triplets Christina!! we would definitely love twins as well but after everything we have been through a healthy baby is all I want... Or babies

What day of your cycle will you be Wednesday? Will all eight mature and release? Or just a few?

 

[Mrstruth]

Well I wouldn't mind twins either to say the least! It's funny ladies my cycle is on my it's like my uterus has a heartbeat because I keep getting this throbbing sensations on the left and right side. I am on letrozole 2.5 for five days and they are ordering my progesterone suppositories so DH will go pick those up hopefully this is the cycle ladies

 

[angelmom27]

Mrs Truth...funny you mention the throbbing because I was definitely getting that sensation on my right side as well and last ultrasound it showed two eggs on my right and multiple tiny on my left. We got pregnant with Elizabeth when it was my left ovary ovulating so IM kind of partial for some eggs there Not to say that there is anything from with my right....just figure if my left worked once hopefully it will work again

Has anyone done low doses of injectables (gonal 50 a day) and not had eggs on both sides? Im so anxious to see whats happening on Friday!!!

When is everyone expecting to be inseminated? anyone usually earlier in their cycle than normal? Im hoping we dont have to wait another week until day 17 like normal.....the sooner the better!

 

[sugarpi24]

I know last time my doctor wanted to do the IUI on cd15....so hopefully we can do one on Friday! :/

We're usually anywhere from 2 to 4 days earlier than normal. I normally ovulated CD14 w/out these meds & my IUI's are usually either CD 10 or 12. I'm kind of hoping for CD11. It falls on a Saturday, so DH and I wouldn't have to miss any work.

I was on 75 gonal for 4days and got 8 follicles growing on each side so I think your on a good dose !! Praying for some good follicles !!

 

[angelmom27]

Oh man eight eggs! I'm really hoping I get some nice looking follicles and get to do the iui by Monday or so
Thanks Brayr for letting me know its usually a few days early.... I'll be day 14 by Monday so hopefully something is on the roll by then

Has anyone been put on meds for three days to stop ovulation so the eggs don't mature too quick? Our clinic mentioned that they check on day 11 ( around four days after injections start) and see what's happening and if you have some big follies they put you on meds to hold off ovulation for a few days so they don't get too big too quick

I'm so excited to see what's happening

Sugarpi: how many eggs do u have this cycle? Are u on injectables as well? Fingers crossed for Friday!

 

[Leaah]

Hello ladies hope you don't mind me joining you. AF showed up so my first appointment will be on Thursday to get the ball rolling. IUI should be late January and I really hope this one is the one. Good luck to all of you!!!

 

[angelmom27]

Hi Leaah and welcome!
I hope this cycle is the one for you too! Have you been trying IUI for a while or is this your first? I've been successful on my third but unfortunately my daughter passed away at 21 weeks from a spontaneous heart defect and was born still. We have been trying again and are hoping to do our first IUI on injectables in the next week. Fingers crossed our angel is helping us

 

[Leaah]

Hi and thank you! I'm so sorry about your little girl. I've tried clomid with IUI three times all BFN's. My dr. decided to change me over to a combo of pills and injectibles. I did that for one month and all went well except we were unable to do IUI on that cycle because my DH was uable to get off of work (first time he was ever denied time off...go figure). Dr. said to go ahead on our own without IUI but still a BFN. Now I'm going to start with a combo of pills and injectibles again with IUI. Hopefully all goes well this time around and I get a BFP! Hoping that this cycle is the one for you too!! Fingers crossed!!

Sugarpi: how many eggs do u have this cycle? Are u on injectables as well? Fingers crossed for Friday!

I don't know how many follicles I have ill find out Thursday on cd14...and last time they gave me an injection (only one) after the scan to induce ovulation...and then they were going to do IUI the next day but we did timed sex instead...so hopefully we will have good follicles on Thursday!!

Sorry Ladies that I have been MIA today but the Letrozole has had me nauseated all day and not feeling well.

Welcome Leah to our thread! I am sorry about your previous Bfn and I am sending you loads of that this will be your cycle. The reason I selected to do IUI was due to the fact that they wash the and supposedly injects the healthy ones and can get closer to the place it needs to be to meet the egg.

Were any of you ladies placed on progesterone suppositories. if so were they expensive for you guys and were there any side affects
Sugar Good luck on Thursday I hope that you have enough good sized follicles

angle how many iui's have you previously had and on your successful one what where the meds etc
