January's IUI's anyone Else

[Christina78]

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!

I'm doing the IUI either sat or Monday !! We are almost the same day sticky bean vibes for you !!

Well these meds have me sick and very nauseated Clomids just didn't do me like this. I don't know what to do, stop the meds or continue on

Mrs truth... i would push through with the meds. I know it can be tough but our clinic said there are great results on injectables! I was on progestrone as well and yes they are really expensive but thats what worked for us and Elizabeth! I had some side efffect (mood swings, bloating, fatigue, breast tenderness etc...all similar signs of pregnancy are the side effects of progestrone) ... but i knew I was pregnant with Elizabeth when I had very tender breasts a coupel days before my period was due and I didnt have typical period ance lol.
We got pregnant with Elizabeth on our third IUI with femara only and had one follicle. Since we started to try again we have done two IUI, each with femara and one follicle but no luck They suggested to do a combo of femara and injectables to get a couple of follicles to increase our chances....fingers crossed!!!

I go Friday to u/s and hopefully we have some good follicle brewing!

 

[Christina78]

Angel mom - I'm excited for you !! Praying for some good follicles

I had my appt this morning girls !! They lowered my gonal the last couple days and now I have 4 dominate eggys !! Yeah - I have a few others but they are really small

Right now my follicles are (11.5, 13, 13, 12) so looks good - hope we catch one

 

[Brayr08]

Sounds good Christina!

I had my appointment this morning. I had 1 follicle at 18. So tonight I will be giving myself the ovidrel shot and Friday morning I will be doing my IUI. So excited!

 

[Leaah]

Mrstruth...I was placed on progesterone suppositories when I did my combo round. My insurance thankfully covered them. I'm not sure if it was the progesterone or the injections but one of them made me feel very bloated and I had a bit of cramps nothing major though.

I'm excited for you

Hey babe - stick it out, you can do it !! How many days of meds do u have ?

 

[Mrstruth]

Thanks ladies although I haven't taken my meds for today. I will this evening but they had me not wanting to do anything but lay down because I was so sick. So I decided to move it until dinner time so in a few minutes I will take it, because then I have time to do homework for me and with my kids, prepare them for bed and school without the sickness. I am calling the RE in the morning to see when they are placing the Rx so I can pick up the progesterone because the pharmacy said that I had two days to pick it up and I had not so I have to have it called back in

 

[Christina78]

I'm glad you are feeling better or at least trying to avoid the sickness - I think if u can take it at night that would be ur best bet !! I hope you get lots of eggys !!

 

[angelmom27]

Brayr I'm so excited for you! Good luck Friday and that sounds like the perfect egg to me

Christina that's awesome that you have four eggs! Will I keep up the shots for a few more days to get them up to around 18 to 24mm? Hopefully ill be right behind you I also meant to ask about your IVf experience if you don't mind..... When did u do IVF and did u have any success or have any frozen blastocysts to try again? Just wondering what made u decide to try iui again. I'm hoping we get preggers in the next couple of months otherwise we will head down the IVF path too

I tried ivf first because my tubes were tied and we just wanted one wee old baby - so we tried that route first. I loved the experience. Our first ivf we got 19 eggys and by transfers day - day 5 blasto stage there were 4 ready so we transferred two embryos - none of my other eggys survived we got a chemical pregnancy which the doctors say is a good sign just need to find the right one to stick so we tried it again and got 21 eggys and day 5 blasto stage we had 6 ready so we trannsferred 4 - thinking ok one has to stick ! But again no eggys survived and again we got a chemical pregnancy. So heart broken, hubby and I decided to get my tubes reversed so we can have multiple times to try and more options besides just IVF because its soooooo expensive. So we had the reversal done and then after 4 months of trying we got a dye test done to make sure my tubes were still open and found out one was blocked ! Arrggg right ? So we had the laparoscopy done in Nov trying to unblocked it but that was a bust but my doctor said the other tube was beautiful and for us to try IUI to increase our chances !! So here we are trying our first IUI

I know backwards Ivf first then IUI hehehe

Just hoping for a sticky bean after the ruff year Last year

 

[Ingodshand]

Just wanted to let you all know that I am out this month. af showed up with avengance last night. going to talk to my doctor today about possibly going to ivf! Excited about about what could be next but really sad today.

 

[angelmom27]

Oh Christina you have been through so much as well! I'm really hoping you get a sticky bean too! It's too bad that IVF didn't work but with any luck iui will
It's crazy that so may eggs can be taken out but only a few make it to blastocyst stage! I'm shocked they put four embryos in at once!! Our docs said that anyone until 35 will usually only get two embryos put back in to decrease the chances of triples or quads.
Anyways I'm keeping everything crossed that this is your month
When is your next ultrasound?

 

[sugarpi24]

Going to do our IUI tomorrow morning...hopefully this is it! We have a 22 mm follicle to work with...again...my right side doesn't seem to want to work for some reason...my tubes aren't blocked so idk. At least we have one to work with!

[Brayr08]

sugarpi, good luck tomorrow! I pray our partners both have huge post wash sperm counts & that one of those swimmers find our egg. Very anxious to hear your numbers tomorrow. What time is your IUI scheduled for? DH has to give his sample at 7:30am & the IUI is scheduled for 10am. Did you do a trigger & if so, when did they have you do it?

 

[sugarpi24]

They gave me my trigger shot today at noon...hubby goes in at 9:30 and then I go in at 10:30...hopefully he does he/ we havent done anything in like 5-6 days...do they do a little SA before I come in or something with his stuff?
