October IUI Buddies

[mrswemyss]

Congrats to everyone that got their BFP!! How excting...AFM I went in today to do my U/S to check on My follies, and they have grown but not that much. They are measuring at about 13mm on the left and 14mm on the right so the doctor wants me to take some injections to make them grow, and then come back Saturday for another U/S. I was really hoping to do IUI Tommorow but I guess not. .....Is this normal to happen? Do the follies sometimes not grow enough? Some Advice please!!!!!!!!!!

how did yours go keepingfaith?

I had two FOLLICLES? today... i am a little confused, I thought it was eggs? Is it follicles that is 14mm?
He said I have one good one and one 14mm he still went through with the IUI...
can anyone tell me if I ovulated already? I had my positive LH surge yesterday and did the IUI this am. I am confused, will the still grow?

Karenh - I only have a obgyn here. There are no fertility specialists where i live so I speak to my RE through email and fly over to see her when I need to do something I cant get done here. She has been wonderful as I know she is not making as much money with me b/c some of my stuff is done here and she doesnt get paid.

jm - oh I am a scary tester...I hate bfns sooooooo I always wait....but I think Kbrain is right....go for it...test!

I think I'll go buy some tonight and test in the am, I hate BFNs too, which is why I want to wait, but the creamy cm is back and acupuncturist said my pulse felt good today and needled "pregnancy points", but of course she didn't really allude to much either way, just said "stay positive".

Do you know what size the good follicle is? I think if you're on clomid the RE wants it to be at least 18mm before trigger. If you're on injectables, I think they will tell you to trigger if you have a follicle that is at least 17mm. Did you trigger? If you did, I think you'll ovulate 36-40 hours after. Good luck to you this cycle. Hope you get a BFP!

I'm taking femara, no triggers .... Just an iui today after my positive opk from yesterday

 

[Sweet Lullaby]

Damie : my clinic checks progesterone levels to confirn ovulation i had my blood work this morning..just waiting to hear back now.

Also its a sign whether pregnancy is sustainable or not given the levels of progesterone.

I am 7dpiui today. I have to take another Pregnyl shot today.. which means i will get all the fake pregnancy symptoms for the next day or two..

 

[Sweet Lullaby]

MrsT : dont give up just yet hin. Those digitals are not great for early reads.

have you got any normal ones around?

i cant wait for Monday.. its my last Pregnyl Shot.. which means i will finally be able to test out the trigger. I havent been able to as of yet.. as I am taking Pregnyl shots every 3 days...

 

[Mrs. T]

Yeah took a FRER against my better judgement and BFN as suspected. I think I will take a cycle off and switch to injectables.

Any out there have success with injectables after Clomid or Femara didn't work?

 

[Damie]

Thanks! I am taking femara, this is my first IUI (today) that is all we have done so far...
Other than clomid previously and had an HSG which was normal.

All the best mrswemyss, we pray the first one is the one.

 

[Damie]

welcome blue - so yet another who is doing b2b IUI's...I was beginning to think I was the only one

zimmy - oh I see...then yes it is best not to put yourself in my situation. A miscarriage is horrible thing.

sweet- maybe that touch of spotting was implantation spotting...I am crossing my fxed for you!

damie - good luck hun....watching you ladies in the tww makes me wonder how crazy I will be when I get there...LOL

Mrs T- Oh I hope it turns into a bfp!


Hi Karenh - how are things with you?

afm - I had my baseline scan today by my obgyn....he said my largest follie was 8.5mm so that is small enough for me to start my femara and get this cycle going! Also he said my uterus is tilted a bit more than he thought...so I asked if that is maybe why I am not getting pregnant and he said...maybe but he doubts it...gee thanks....LOL....anyway I sent the scans to my RE in florida and I will see what she has to say!

Thanks ttcbaby117,
hmmm it would be worth it at the end. We just have to be prayerful and hopeful the end would be a BFP

i am so sorry that this isnt ur month... but i have heard people getting bfp's few days after AF is due.

Mrs T, Ȋ̝̊̅ A̶̲̥̅♏ not giving up yet. Ȋ̝̊̅ pray it works out well.

 

[Maksmama]

So I have been testing out the trigger and have got BFN for the last three days. I am 10 dp trigger and 8 dpiui. I haven't noticed any signs or symptoms. Since I woke this morning it feels like af is coming. Good luck to those still waiting. Welcome and good luck to all the ladies who are just joining us in the tww.

 

[Mrs. T]

Sooooo beta came back this morning - BFN

I say take the weekend to process and feel, and then concentrate on the next plan. There is a plan for you that will work!

Karenh - I only have a obgyn here. There are no fertility specialists where i live so I speak to my RE through email and fly over to see her when I need to do something I cant get done here. She has been wonderful as I know she is not making as much money with me b/c some of my stuff is done here and she doesnt get paid.

jm - oh I am a scary tester...I hate bfns sooooooo I always wait....but I think Kbrain is right....go for it...test!

I think I'll go buy some tonight and test in the am, I hate BFNs too, which is why I want to wait, but the creamy cm is back and acupuncturist said my pulse felt good today and needled "pregnancy points", but of course she didn't really allude to much either way, just said "stay positive".

Well, I tested this morning, and BFN but I haven't given up all hope yet as I am still only 12/13dpo and my temp spiked higher this morning than it has ever been in any other cycle (98.8) usually my top temps are 98.65..so will test again probably monday or tuesday.

If this doesn't work I'm not sure what to do next month. We are lucky in that I am totally healthy and O on my own, it's DH's azoospermia so we are using ds. I just feel like the timing is so crucial with these IUIs. Does anyone know if you can still do a trigger shot for timing if you O on your own?

also, a friend was over last night and confided that she thought she might be pg after a bad break up and lots of rebound sex with about 3 different people, i was proud of myself for taking it so calmly and not clawing her eyes out! grrrrrrrrr

Do takia and hopefully the next cycle is the one.

I'm so sorry to hear that. I'm likely in the same boat, testing on Monday.

Do you have a plan for next steps?

You showed admirable restraint with your friend, leaving her eyes intact

A temp rise at this point is fantastic! I hope it means good news is coming.
