September iui

[TTCisapain]

Oh, and I think I have a yeast infection (TMI). Anyone ever get these from fertility meds? I have read posts from women saying yes, but Drs say it doesnt cause these.

So, ladies. I am kinda bummed out. This was the "cycle" that I got pregnant (ended in M/C at 7 weeks) on last year so I was really excited to do IUI and see if lightening strikes 2x.

However, I had a f/u U/S today because on CD 5 I had 2 follies that were already 13mm. They wanted to see how fast they were growing, so today 1 was at 16mm already and I am on day 8. The bummer is it looks like I will O early this month prob next Tues and I will be at a work conference out of town. I normally O about CD 15 which would be when I am back.

So, I am waiting for a call from the Dr to see what if any next steps to take ... not getting my hopes up that we can do anything.

I am so sorry! I hope there is something that can be done.

Can you cancel the conference? Can you find a Fertility Clinic in the town where you are going to be that might be willing to do the IUI for you? I guess that would mean flying your DH with you

That's so true - there are so many things to consider that you would not think of before starting the process. I'm hoping that if we do decide to do it, we'll be a couple of steps ahead of the curve since I've already had a hysterosonogram, full STD work-up, had the test to check that my tubes are clear, etc. Then again, I'm sure that they will come up w/a bunch of other tests for me to do! GL to you, I'm so excite to read your updated posts.

Don't be surprised if you need to have the tests again. I've now had 3 HSG's in as many months. I think it is dictated by the CDC that when doing IVF certain tests must be performed BEFORE you can start. Don't quote me on that, but I think that is the case.

Really - 3 HCGs? Ugh, so sorry - the one I had back in May was pretty awful! Why did you have to do so many? Also, I checked with my clinic, and they don't require that for IVF since the test is to check if you have clear tubes, and with IVF they retrieve the eggs before they travel through the tubes so your tubes don't really matter. This makes sense to me, so I'm just curious.....

I've had 3 HSG's... one before DD, one before DS and one before conceiving the last baby. I guess they wanted to make sure while they attempted IUI's before we moved on to IVF.

Yes, you are correct, but a hystrosonogram also looks at the uterus to make sure that it is in the correct shape and doesn't have any deformations. The first one I had was a FEMVUE (used saline bubbles to see if my tubes were open). The second one was a full hystosonogram but done by a different Doctor, and they were able to open the blocked tube that had been seen on the FEMVUE. The third was a full hystosonogram where they looked at both the tubes AND the uterus to make sure my uterus was healthy and normal. Maybe my FS is just uber careful and wanted to make sure that my uterus was capable of holding a pregnancy. No point in spending all that money if you can't carry the baby!

I see Alicatt, that makes sense. My RE said that if we do move on to IVF, the HCG I had back in May checked everything out fine, so I'm so glad I don't have to do another one!!!! I'll take a million shots over another one of those, it was the most painful 30 seconds of my life, I think, and I always thought I had a pretty high pain tolerance. How is your cycle going?

Yep.. I understand. My last one was done while I was under anesthesia as they did dilation of my cervix at the same time. So that was nice, I didn't have to feel it, lol. I would be surprised if they didn't want to do another HSG to make sure your uterus was healthy. Unless they checked that out the last time. As I said in another thread, I had a FEMVUE to check my tubes, and one was blocked. So then I went to Canada, and they recommended seeing a Dr that is good at unblocking tubes. So we did that and he was able to unblock it. When I got back to the US, my FS wanted to see my uterus to make sure there wasn't any issue in it that might be causing me to not get pregnant. So that is why I had the 3rd. I mean before you shell out all that money, I think it is important to make sure that everything is OK.

Painful indeed! My first one was a piece of cake! The last 2 not so much. Then I had one trying for the last baby were they shoot water in the uterus to check for polyps and fibroids. Holy painful that was too!

AF finnaly decided to show her face. I start femara on wednesday and I have my mid cycle us on the 24th. DH isn't sure if he wants to go because he said it was weird last time. Should I tell him I want him to come or just suck it up and go by myself? He would have to meet me there because I would be going during my lunch break.

 

[mrsjennyg]

Hi Karen- DH came with me to my last (first) IUI but only because it was onthe weekend. I dont think he'll be able to come if it's during the week. I would like him there but I understand how he can't just leave work (he's a teacher). Is your DH able to be there or was just uncomfortable last time?

AFM I started Letrizole/ Femera last night- really glad I took it at night because it makes me pretty tired. Anyone else have that with Letrizole/Femera? I go on Sunday for my ultrasound

 

[lady luck12]

AF has arrived and right on time too.

Gettting ready to go for my first scan, and see how to take these injections. So glad the OH is coming with me.

peak to you later, hope you all have a good day xx

 

[karenh]

Mrsjennyg: Sorry, I did’t explain that well. This will be my first IUI and I was wondering if he should come to my mid cycle ultrasound. I had an ultrasound on August 28th so RE could see where I was at. They do vaginal ultrasounds for me. DH was uncomfortable and thought it was weird that there was something going where only he should go. He is silly. He doesn’t have to work the day that I am getting my us. Last night he said he would come with me. I am glad he will be there to support me, and also it is best that we both hear what the doc says so we don’t forget anything. Also, it is hard for DH to get off work so I don’t know how many appointments he will be at. I figure if this one actually falls on a day off he should be there. Good luck Sunday!!
Lady Luck: Yay! Only one day apart! I am so happy to be going through this with you! I can’t wait to hear how your scan went. Good that OH is going with you.
