October IUI Buddies

[FirstTry]

I should be ovulating next week so we will do another IUI. I started taking mucinex today HAS ANYONE ELSE TAKEN THAT to help thin mucus?!?!?

.... I took my last femara yesterday. I feel so out of hope and like it will never happen. Good luck to everyone!

I've taken Mucinex and my SIL swears that she got pregnant because of it twice. I had no such luck. I think Evening Primrose Oil did more for my mucus. The first month I took it, I had several days of EWCM, which I never get.

 

[mrswemyss]

I have read many place that is helps if you have hostile cervical mucus. So I am praying that it will give us another chance to get pregnant after my IUI

 

[karenh]

How do you know if you have hostile cm?

 

[mrswemyss]

I had two post coital test... There was no sperm , my mucus is therefore to thick to allow the sperm to go where it needs to

 

[Sweet Lullaby]

Mrswemyss : goodluck this cycle. Just a question . If you are doing IUI.. wouldnt they be passing the mucus barrier? I thought that women who had issues with CM benefit greatfully doibg IUI as it bypasses that

 

[Hope1409]

Sweet lullaby your right, the iui bypasses the cm because the sperm is inserted directly in the uterus. I have also heard iui success for women with hostile cm.

I did however use mucinex along with my clomid cycles where I wasn't doing iui. I did see a difference in cm in that it was more watery and I had more of it. even my obgyn at the time told me to take mucinex while doing clomid because it breaks up the mucus throughout your body.

Had an ultrasound this morning, and my lining is now thin, and though I have two cysts, they are SMALL and will not interfere. SO! I've been approved to go forward with an IUI this month! I start Femara tomorrow, and have my first follicle check on November 19th.

My Magic 8 Ball says I will get pregnant this month. Since it said "No" every other month I asked, I've decided it really knows!

So I've signed up for the November IUI thread. Come join me there if you're having another this month, too!

Sounds great Kat!
I too am waiting in my docs office to see how big my follicles are. I started Femara 5 days ago. So could you ask the 8 ball for me too!!! I had a fortune cookie tell me I was going to relieve good news from down south !!! Ok I'm gonna say that means a BFP

[Chris_25]

Sweet thank you!

[ttc babybump]

Sweet Lullaby- Thanks for the response. I guess i forgot to put my follicle size for first iui. I thought maybe a little big but not sure. 19.5 and 23 Thanks again

I had 1 follicle for my first iui and it was also 19.5

 

[Bma11]

TTC baby bump.... I did my IUI on the 30 & 31 and ovidrel on the 29. What I read was 24 to 36 hours after the shot, you ovulate. So I did IUI on 30 & 31 so I counted from nov 1. A day after. Hope this helps. After my second IUI I always go in 14 days to get a blood pregnancy test

 

[Sweet Lullaby]

ttc babybump : ur follicke size is really good...thats the ideal range. my one follicle this iui was on the small side... 17mm. i was worried. When i was preg with my DD..i did iui aswell.. my folli was 21mm

 

[Sweet Lullaby]

Chris : thanx for explaining Femara. my FS nevet even gave me the option of Clomid or other pills. she wanted me on injectibles.. not sure why

 

[ttcbaby117]

sweet lullaby - I used a dollar store early detection. I will be testing again tomorrow at 14 dpo.

mrsw - If you are having an IUI you might not need the mucinex as the IUI will by pass your cervial fluid anyway. Just thought I would let you know that to save you the trouble.

I kind of wish they would give me injectables, but I guess they want to try this first. How many IUI's did u do?
