July/August IUIs

[JCM]

Yes, I have a beta a year from now on 7/23. Lol! This is too long! Maybe I'll test my trigger tomorrow morning. Except I started P yesterday. Won't that trick my tests possibly too? This is all so mean. Does P make you pee a lot? I've read about that type of pain behind your belly button. Most describe it as implantation. Like a tugging feeling behind it?

Jcm here is where I got the fishoil. I heard they sell at vitamin shoppe but it was cheaper this way

I think your dh is right that you wouldn't have to wait for second once since they are in control. I enjoy letting someone else take the reigns we can BD for fun for the first time in a year and a half it's great!

Sally good luck to you!!

Beagle unfortunately I have been pregnant before and still ttc #1. I think that's a sign of implantation what you describe. I never had anything like that though when I was pregnant but know some do.

Yeah I am in the UK. My consultant does all my monitoring and sends the results to the fertility specialists and they decide on the plan each day and when to do iui then they do it.
Everywhere seems to do things so different

Beaglemom - I can't remember for sure if it matches the pain you descried but I do remember I had a bit of unusual cramping when I got pregnant.

Had my appointment this morning and may be cancelling this cycle. I'm waiting to get a call with my blood results this afternoon. I have a follicle that looks like it ovulated already this morning but they have to run the blood test to check if it possibly just ovulated and we can still do IUI tomorrow or if it is too late and we have to cancel. I had cramping last night and this morning so I'm expecting the worst at this point. The doctor that did my ultrasound at least gave me a laugh. She said go home and have intercourse today in case you already ovulated. Then the nurse pointed out on my chart that my husband has azoospermia and she was like "oh...well your husband will be happy anyway. Tell him doctor's orders."

JCM - the P will not mess up your tests. It will make you FEEL pregnant...tired & things like that. So it tricks your mind. But your tests are still accurate once the trigger has been tested out.

Sally - things seem to be different all over even in the US. Every dr is different.

Buttrfly - sorry about the mc. I really hope the IUI works for you! Thanks for the info...I don't recall feeling this before. The cramping I am feeling could be AF...that is pretty typical for me.

So sorry...I hope it is not too late. I went back to your other post. I can't believe so much changed in just 2 days. But maybe even if one did release, you had another behind that. Good luck.

Raelynn I really hope it's not too late for you!

 

[JCM]

Raelynn, hoping you're able to do it tomorrow!

 

[raelynn]

Well, bad news confirmed. We missed my ovulation. I'm really frustrated since my initial appointment was Sunday and they switched it to Monday. They're going to monitor me more frequently next time but now I just get to do more waiting for AF. Super bummed. I guess I'll be starting all over around the end of the month. I'll be cheering you ladies on until then.

That really sucks...I don't think I caught in your post that your appt was today vs Sunday. Why was it changed?

 

[babylala]

Raelynn I'm so sorry to hear that -how frustrating. They better monitor you very closely next cycle like they said they would so they don't mess this up again.

 

[babylala]

@JCM and @buttrfly - this 2ww is torture. I had a busy weekend which was good for distractions but like JCM, I'm already looking up 5dpiui symptoms. Ha, no self control!

@beagle - I've been pregnant before and that sounds similar to what I felt around 10dpo!

I'm looking forward to an update from Ltruns on her beta today!!!

Thanks! I have been fooled before by these sensations, so I am not getting my hopes up. But at the same time it is nice to know there is still hope out there to be had. I don't think I have ever felt this pin needle thing, though.

 

[raelynn]

My appointment was changed because my follicles were still so small on Friday. They just grew really fast apparently. The one that ovulated was 12.8mm on Friday and measured around 18-20 today. I guess it is better this way since hubby has his back injury we're dealing with right now but it just feels like more bad news on top of everything else.

Hopefully we'll be seeing some BFPs on here soon!

 

[Mikihob]

Luvsgreen hope that your IUI goes/went well. 3 follies is great!

sally I am glad that your IUI went well and the spermies look great!

raelynn I am so sorry you had to cancel your cycle. I am glad that they are going to monitor you more closely next cycle.

I tested this morning and BFN. Then, 30 minutes later AF came TWO DAYS EARLY! I had a major breakdown this morning. DH couldn't bring himself to go to work he was so worried. I thought for sure this was the month.

We are now onto a break. We need to save some money for our next cycle's and hopefully the birth control will help me lose the extra weight I gained from Clomid and PCOS.

beaglemom and Ltruns I hope you get your BFP's this week. Who's next on the testing block??

Sorry about the negative...but a break can be very theraputic as well. Good luck on the next cycles.

@ raelynn - sorry for this dumb question but this is my first monitored cycle. How do they determine if you've already ovulated? I'm asking because my follicle was 21mm when i triggered and if yours was 18-20mm and you had already ovulated, I surely ovulated before my trigger. Or is it determined by the hormones measured via bloodwork? I should really ask my nurse more questions!

 

[raelynn]

babylala - There are a couple of hormones that they check. Right before you ovulate, your lh levels go up. If they had tested just high lh then I would have had IUI tomorrow. But, once you've ovulated, you start producing progesterone. Since my progesterone levels were up they know I already ovulated. They knew I ovulated because my follicle had already burst visibly on the ultrasound this morning and my progesterone levels were up.

Miki - I'm so sorry for the BFN. I totally get the frustration in thinking this was the cycle and then having to deal with the disappointment. How long of a break do you plan on taking? Hopefully your BFP is just around the corner after a little relaxation.

 

[JCM]

Aw raelynn so frustrating! Take care of hubby for now. But funny about "doctors orders" my husband loves when they say that.
Mikihob, I am so sorry about AF! She's full on here? Yuck. I've considered doing a month break if this doesn't work. I think I'll have to be on bcps for my cysts anyway. They always come and grow way to big to try and get pregnant. So annoying.
Babylala, I'm horrible. I've googled different things and have RE-read stuff I already know. I need an intervention.

 

[babylala]

@raelynn - that makes sense, thanks for the explanation. I'm routing for a BFP on your next cycle!!!!

@ mikihob- I'm sorry that AF came. Sometimes a break seems like just the thing that ends up let

@JCM - Hilarious on the re-reading because I'm totally doing that too. It's going to a long week. I'm already wondering if I'll be able to hold off POAS. Doubt it!
