October IUI Buddies

[Sweet Lullaby]

I wonder if you are having more than one? Have you googled beta numbers for multiples? That's a big jump but a high number means there's def a bean (or two) in there!

I have no idea whats going on.. i have googled.. apart from possible multiples..i have read high hCG can be indication of a molar preg?? I hate google lol

Sweet lullaby How many matture follicles did you have? What did you dr say about the numbers? It could well mean mutiples. xx

I only had 1 mature follicle on day of trigger and that was 17mm.. the other two follicles i had was 5mm each. They werent anything to worry abt . My fertility centre only does 1 beta test. I went thru my doc for 2nd. He thinks its normal ?

 

[Sweet Lullaby]

I am feeling....nothing!! just odd twinges here and there. I am a bit concerned. My 2nd Beta came back today..at 2070! 19dpiui. I was at 481 level 2 days ago...

Is this weird?

Professor Google told me that beta should double every 24-48 hours in early pregnancy for one baby, faster for multiples. You're doubling every 22 hours, so it's on the border.

So happy for you!!!!

I have been goibg crazy with Dr Google lol!! I guess i will have to waut for my dating scan to see if it means anything

That is awesome!!! When would your due date be? Have you crossed over into the June/July due date forums? I'm so happy for you! Those beta numbers look great, and sometimes women's betas rise very fast at the beginning and then slow down a bit (the docs looks at averages, so you're fine either way), BUT on the other hand, it can be multiples?!!!! How exciting? Would you be happy with twins? I think they can confirm the number of gestational sacs when you're about 5 weeks along, or so, but don't quote me on it. CONGRATS!!!!!!!

Thanks huni. I am due 5th July. Yes i joined the July thread.. but it moves too quickly for me.. cant keep up lol. The thought of twins has never crossed my mind... as i am a very slow responder to injectibles..that i only get 1 follicle. If i have multiples..it would have to be purely a coincidence... where the egg splits!! Chances of that are too slim..

Waiting for ny dating scan in two weeks.... how are u going..

SWEET LULLABY, I am SO excited for you!! Have you bought anything yet for the baby or nursery?

11dpiui, and a BFN when I poas first thing this morning. Disappointing. But like you guys said, I'm not out till the Red Lady sings! Beta is Tuesday

I've been having bizarre pains in my lower left pelvic area for the past few days. It's not gas...I don't know what the heck it is. Wondering if the Femara + Pregnyl messed with my system and is causing this mild cramp/pain? Every month I get sore bbs the week before my period, but I didn't get them this month. Could the hormones I took alter my usual pre-af symptoms?

 

[Sweet Lullaby]

Hi Kat.. not yet.. i want to wait for 12weeks.. just so scared and paranoid.
How are you feeling.. i really thought this would be your month

Yeah, that's understandable. You should do a 12 week ticker! Then at the end of that you can go out and buy something!

I feel ok. Disappointed I'm not seeing bright pink or blue positive lines, but I've heard time and time again of ladies getting BFN up until the day before their beta, so I'm clinging to hope every day my AF doesn't show. I'm just confused by my lack of usual pre-AF symptoms this month. Must be the hormones I took.

Looks like I get to join everyone in the BFN club

It's 11dpiui and I took an early pregnancy test this morning. Big Fat Negative. I expect AF any day. Yesterday I had pain about where my left ovary is, and I bet when I go in for my ultrasound next week, they'll tell me I have cysts there. That will mean, of course, that I can't try in November so have to wait until December to try again. I know it was only my first IUI, but I'm so disappointed!!

Hold on dear....

Thank you! Actually, yesterday was 10dpiui. I guess my finger "tripped" on the 1 and I didn't notice.

Hello dear, how are you feeling? Good to know you are in good spirit. And nice to know u are still with us. You give us hope. You didn't say how many IUI did u have b4 a ? How long av u been TTC?

 

[Sweet Lullaby]

Kat S: 10dpiui very early hun.. u are not out... i doubt the pregnylis having effects on u..its def out of ur system..

 

[Kat S]

OK, that's good. Well, we'll see!

OMG, just had my cd11 monitoring and I have 11 follicles over 10mm, 7 of which appear to have mature eggs (though 2 could be cysts)!

The doctor is going to look at my hormone levels to decide whether we can do the IUI. If not, we have to decide whether to convert to IVF. That would mean big $.

I'm very happy to have eggs, but hmm...

So, it's official; they cancelled my IUI because of too many follicles. And they won't let us have sex for fear of multiples.

We are going to talk to the financial counselor tomorrow about converting to IVF. I think we'll likely do it. It seems a shame to waste these eggies!

OH NO! Oh, how disappointing! I hope your road to IVF is an easy one and that is successful right away. Good luck!

 

[ttcbaby117]

Oh I do hope you get the financial help....because you are right it would be a waste......let us know how it turns out

Wow, that is a lot of potential eggs - congrats! Just curious, how does your doc know that 7 of the follicles have mature eggs, as opposed to all of them? My guess would be by your estrogen levels, but you said that you had not gotten the results back yet, so I'm just wondering. When I was doing my 2 iuis, my doc never mentioned which follicles have mature eggs, or not.
Good luck tomorrow w/the IVF counselor - it's a big step, but also has great odds in your favor, especially with that many eggs.

I'm doing good so far - I was hoping I would completely avoid the morning sickness, but it hit me this week pretty bad, and only at night right around dinner time. I'm also so exhausted it's really unbelievable how much I sleep, some nights its nearly 12 hours a nite! My DH are going on a babymoon next month to Europe, I just hope that I get more energy by then. I have a scan this Friday at 8 weeks, and hope to see a heartbeat! At my last scan, I was just shy of seeing it by 3 or 4 days. Good luck on your scan! And you know, identical twins aren't as rare as all that - between my DH and me, we know three couples who are currently pregnant with identicals.
