Spring/Summer IUI support thread

[BabyReady13]

Are you in the States? I'm in Canada and from reading what people in the States have been posting on here and other forums it seems like we do things a little differently lol

 

[Aayla]

eeek! How exciting! Gimme some test porn ladies!! I still have about 11 days to get through before my IUI and then at least another 10 before I can start testing.

 

[BabyReady13]

I've already contemplated testing early with a hpt lol not sure if I will though.....going to the grocery store now to get some pineapple...heard that helps with implantation!

 

[NovemberRayne]

Babyready- I'm not from the states, I'm in the UK. I know what you mean, some things are definitely done different when it comes to treatments.

Aayla- don't you worry about test porn, I'm absolutely sure that I won't be able to hold off until test date haha.

 

[BabyReady13]

Ah that makes sense November....I was always wondering why you were posting at such different t times lol

 

[NovemberRayne]

You guys are all the most active when I'm crawling off to bed haha

Today's 10dpiui: as usual. Considering OH's sperm count post-wash, I'm not feeling at all positive about this cycle. Guess I'll start planning ahead for next cycle's IUI while I wait for this one to finally end.

 

[Uremysunshine]

Inkedlady-im on same boat with u..10dpiui..no hpt yet no t doing it this cycle.. dont count yourself out yet until af comes..my prayers are with you!!! any symptoms of pregnancy tho?

Baby dust everyone!!

 

[NovemberRayne]

Inkedlady it's still early, don't count yourself out just yet ☺

I'm a little miserable at the moment.. although the the actual IUI was completely painless, I have a dull constant pain with cramps here and there. I guess its normal to have a bit of discomfort initially but I was told not to take any ibuprofen so I'm toughing it out lol

 

[Uremysunshine]

November-ur blessesd ur iui was not painful, mine was horrible i was crying!! My doctor told me my cervix was kinda leaning towards my left side so it was hard for her to find the opening and it took her awhile to finally introduce my dh's sperm.. (Sorry tmi) but yeaa..my cramps lasted until the following day and dull pain from time to time.. Is it ur 1st iui? How far are u from testing??

 

[NovemberRayne]

Uremysunshine - oh my gosh that sounds awful. I hated every second of my HSG that had me crying so I thought the IUI would be just bad.. surprised me that it wasn't.

It is my first IUI.. I was given a test date of September 5th but AF would be due on the first so I'll test then haha

 

[Aayla]

so the money for the IUI fell through. I was sick a couple of days and so my cheque was much smaller than I wanted. We also have rent coming up. So I just can't pull $400 out of the budget. At least so far. All I can do is wait and see next friday when Hubby gets paid. but usually his cheque goes to rent. I'm not optimistic.

BUT. We have the option of timed intercourse, of course. I got some CB digi opk's and we will time it as best we can. I'm optimistic as I did get pregnant once before this way.

 

[NovemberRayne]

Aayla- I'm sure you will find a way, wether IUI or TI.. I know how much you want this.

The $400, what does that get you? It's a lot cheaper than what we pay here. The IUI procedure itself was £680.00 which I think works out to approx $890.

 

[Aayla]

It gets me the sperm wash and insemination. So in the end it just puts all the good stuff up there but since we have got pregnant with TI it is possible to do it again.

 

[NovemberRayne]

I'm so rooting for you Aayla.. can't wait to see a BFP from you

When can I start symptom spotting.. I have no idea when anything should start.. this is going to be such a wait

 

[dancingnurse2]

Question for those who did femera, they increased my dosage and wow my pelvic area is so and lots of pressure. Anyone else experience this?

 

[Aayla]

November: on my bfp cycle I noticed symptoms at 3dpo but they got more pronounced after 6dpo. Some don't have any symptoms at all that early.

Dancing: I am on 7.5 mg of letrozole and I don't have any symptoms. at least nothing that I have noticed. But I have been on this for almost a year. If I do have symptoms they are so common place now that I don't think about them.

 

[Uremysunshine]

Aayla-if u did t.i last it could still happen this time i will be praying for us!! i know our wait will worth everything in this world!!

November-goodluck and please keep us posted.. Sept 5th is the end of my 3ww and will get to see my doctor for ultrasound.. Im praying soooo hard that this would be our month!!

 

[BabyReady13]

Good luck Aayla fingers crossed for you.....sunshine and November how are you ladies feeling? I'm 2dpiui and a little crampy and sore boobs! This 2ww sucks

 

[NovemberRayne]

I'm a little crampy also, started day after IUI so don't know if it's that. I also had really itchy nipples last night.. I'm guessing it's wayyyy to early to notice real symptoms right?!?!

Oh hurry up 10/11dpiui 😂😂😂
