IUI Thursday

Davie813Davie813 member
in TTC after 35
It's scheduled--trigger tomorrow night; DH and I arrive at 6:30 am Thursday for "deposit"; insemination at 8:00 am.

A couple of questions:

1. I'm planning on going in to work as usual after the IUI (they didn't say not to).  What did those of you who have had IUIs do afterward?  Did you rest?

2. I have two 15 mm follicles that they are sure will be the right size to trigger tomorrow night, as well as two 12 mm that the nurse says may or may not mature and release (I also have about a zillion at 11 and under, apparently, but those obviously don't count).  Do you think it's likely that the 12 mms will catch up?  I'm not too enthusiastic about attempting IUI with only two of my withered old eggs....

Anyway, positive thoughts, right?  [-O<

    Yay! How exciting!

    I did not work after my IUIs, but that was a personal decision. I was told I could definitely work and go for a brisk walk after the procedure; I chose to watch crappy TV and nap instead. :)

    I would normally trigger with one or two follies in the ideal range with a couple of stragglers. For risk of multiples, I don't think they'd want you to have any more than that.

    GL and keep us posted!!!

    How exciting!!!!
    I stayed on the table for a few minutes and it was life as normal (without over doing it, of course).  I've heard people say they rested and they went about life normally and the results were not any better by resting.  One lady said she rested the first two times with no luck and the third time she had stuff to do and did it and that one took.  The sperm has half the battle done for since it is an IUI and I have been re-assured they don't fall out!!  LOL
    FX for you!!!!

    I didn't rest for either one. I did one before work and they other the day before my brothers wedding (we had a ton of family that stayed with us, so no rest then).
    I definitely didn't need to rest, it felt similar to an exam.
    When I did my triggers, they were 16& 18 I think.
    FX for you. I wish you luck!

    I rested after all of mine and I felt crampy.  But, I think work might give me something else to obsess about next time, so I may go in.

    GL!

    I could have went to work but didn't and had my RE write me a note to excuse me from work that day. I'm a labor & delivery nurse and didn't want to stress at work (because it's been so busy lately) after the IUI. Instead I enjoyed the day with my husband going out to lunch and to the movies!
    Me: 37 DH: 37, married since Sept. 2013. "actively" TTC for a total of 13 months (after 7 months of TTC, took a 1 1/2 year hiatus due to work scheduling and wedding planning. Started up again after our wedding in Sept.) First evaluation by an RE November 2013

    HSG-normal
    OH-tiny polyp found, but RE assured me she doesn't think it's contributing to infertility and doesn't recommend me to remove it because it's so small.
    DH's SA-normal
    Hormones all within normal levels
    Ovarian Reserve-RE says "is great" she's not concerned about my egg quantity (which I was until I saw her and results came back good!) 

    04/2012 50mg Clomid=BFN (prescribed by OBGYN, not monitored)
    06/2012 50mg Clomid=BFN (prescribed by OBGYN, not monitored)
    11/2013 100mg Clomid, with HCG trigger=BFN (prescribed by RE, monitored with US (2 dominant follicles) and baseline bloodwork done)
    01/2014 100mg Clomid, with HCG trigger-(prescribed by RE, monitored with US-1 dominant follicle)=BFN
    06/2014 7.5mg Letrozole, HCG trigger (prescribed by RE, monitored with US-2 dominant follicles), IUI #1 on 7/3/14=BFN
    07/2014 7.5mg Letrozole, benched for IUI#2 this cycle, because I ovulated on my own before my follicular US. Progesterone suppositories=BFN Diagnosed with PCOS this month too. Testosterone levels high at 76. =( 
    08/2014 7.5mg Letrozole, HCG trigger with 19mm follicle. IUI#2 on 8/31 cancelled last minute due to family emergency. 
    09/2014 Taking a 3 month break starting this month. If not pregnant in 3 months, will start up again with medicated cycles and IUIs. Had all my labs and AFC re-evaluated this month also. RE says nothing much has changed since my eval last November, okay for me to take a little break. =)
