Woohoo I'm back on the IUI train! Just went in for CD3 bloodwork and ultrasound. As the new RE stated "ovaries are ready to roll." LOL! I'll start 50mg of clomid Thursday and go for an ultrasound (and hopeful trigger shot) on CD14 which is early Saturday the 24th morning.
This is my first medicated cycle with this RE. My regular OB/GYN was disorganized and had me very frustrated with the process. I know it's not her specialty but her staff was terrible. The RE still highly recommends her for an OB but we will go down that road when we get there. The RE's staff has definitely soothed my OCD brain with this process. Very excited to move forward!
GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE IN THEIR TWW!!! BABY DUST TO ALL!!!

@greengypsy I am 8 days post IUI today and I have been feeling weird twinges the past few days as well and I keep reading into everything. I'm so incredibly bloated this round and feel a constant heaviness that I haven't felt previously. I had a little bit of weird brown discharge that I noticed when trying to clean the remnants of the progesterone gel in the morning as well. Ughhh trying to be hopeful but probably shouldn't be!!
@laur2444 fx thats implantation spotting! mine was brown too but such a tiny amount.. i feel the same way.. hopeful but not at same time :-S iv been googling everything! i try not to but its so hard.. hopefully these are good signs for both of us!
Just got the go ahead to do my trigger tonight. Back in the office Thursday for my second IUI. I have three mature follicles- 18.6, 19.8 and 16.8. Here we go...express train straight to TWW crazy town.
@greengypsy yes I noticed a little last Friday morning, then Saturday, and Sunday as well. Thought it was too early for implantation but who knows. Only noticed it bc the crinone leaves nasty residue overnight, otherwise probably wouldn't have. Fx for both of us!!
14 dpIUI and a BFFFN. This means we are venturing into our fourth year of trying next cycle. I am not sure what to think or how to feel, I am pissed most of all. It has been too many times that I have not even cried this morning. I have my favorite bottle of wine waiting for me for after work, and vacation starting at the end of the week. Brightside, we are going to northern MI, so I get to drink all the wine and I dont have to cancel our couples massage.

@vssbrm I've been waiting for your post. I am so sorry! I'm right there with you. I haven't let it out yet. I started to cry yesterday morning and had to stop myself and pull it together so u could go to work. My hubby had my favorite ice cream waiting for me. I'm so glad you have a relaxing weekend to look forward too. Are you going to continue with IUIs?

@lilmissslp we will probably do at least 1 more round of IUI before thinking about moving on to IVF. Our insurance covers nothing for fertility treatments (but I need to look further into this because it looks like on our most recent invoice they billed our insurance, which did pay for something, but we still paid the same oop as the first IUI. So that is weird). I think we might wait until after the holidays though. We need to talk more about it more, DH wants to continue right on with another, but I am over the poking and proding right now. I did start taking meds to get my prolactin level in check, so it might do good to take a few mths to get that balanced. It was not very high over normal, and is with in normal already so it might not make a difference... anyway, I am rambling and should be working.

@vssbrm that makes sense. Our insurance covered 3 so we're out of those. I don't want to throw money at a procedure that isn't working for us. I'd love to jump into IVF but we need to save some money 1st. I don't want to be completely in debt over this. I am looking forward to a break from all the dr appointments though!

So, I just got back from my followup and I only have 1 follicle at 17. The rest are 11 and below. I'm so disappointed and confused. Last cycle on injects, I had so many, and this time: one. Also, my lining is still thin at 5.9. I'm so confused and frustrated. This cycle mirrors my clomid round, and I don't understand why the large change between injection cycles. I'm trying to convince myself it only takes one, but I feel so discouraged and disappointed. This was/is my last attempt before IVF, though DH says we could give injects one more shot.

@vssbrm I'm so sorry. Drink all the wine and enjoy your vacation with your hubby.
@riveridgional ugh that sucks. I'm so sorry. I don't understand why our bodies cannot be reliable and comsistent. For me, injects are OOP so I was very frustrated last cycle when I only had one lead after spending so much money. I'm sorry you are going through this
@riveridgional I'm sorry your followup was not as good as you hoped. I hate the fickle nature of all of this, you think you nailed it one month with things lining up and meds working properly and the next month smacks ya in the face. Like we always say though, it just takes 1.
@Lilmissslp I agree, no more debt. We already have enough student debt. We have 5 degrees between the two of us, that adds up even with scholarships and what not. Trying to be as educated and successful as possible to provide the best possible lives for our family... blah.

@Whiggrrl65 Exactly. Injects (and all monitoring) are OOP for me too, and I ovulate on my own. So, now I'm just thinking, what was the point of all this anyway? To throw money out the window!? I had to take BC for cysts, and I can't help but think that's what screwed me up (have to blame something, right?). I know people take BC before IVF rounds, but I believe they are given some other injection to take at the end of the BC cycle or before beginning FSH injections. I wasn't. Ugh. Each cycle I am becoming more and more aware I have zero control over this situation, and it sucks!! I'm just getting to be so worn down and bitter. I hate what IF is turning me into: just a bitter person who lives her life waiting and cries unpredictably. At this point, I am so ready to be a mom. We will still be happy parents adopting, but I know I need to do everything I can for a biological child before I would fully be able to mentally and emotionally move on. I just want to know whether a biological child is even an option for me, so I can just move on with my life.

@vssbrm I'm so sorry to hear that. I saw your post yesterday, and I was thinking about you.
I just tested this morning as well at 14 dpiui. It came back positive, but I'm very hesitant because I'm afraid it could still be the shot of hormones from 9 days ago left in my body. I tested on Sunday and the line was faint. Today, it is darker. I just can't let myself get excited yet because I'm feeling skeptical.
@riveridgional have you guys discussed adoption? It is something I have always thought about. I promised DH we would try for a bio baby first...
@browne7975 Yaaay!! I have my fingers crossed like crazy for you that it all works out. We needed a BFP today! If it is getting darker I would have to imagine that is a good sign. When will you go in for blood work?

@riveridgional I swear I just felt like I was reading something I posted by reading your post because it is exactly how I feel! Just this morning my sister asked me if we have considered adopting. I am so not ready emotionally to give up trying to have a bio child and I am really upset for my sister to even bring it up after I'm grieving yet another bfn.
I just keep thinking this will make me a stronger person.
@browne7975 omg so exciting!!! Fx for you!!! I think you are far enough out that it is a real BFP! That'll be the first for the group this month .....we need one!
@riveridgional I hear your frustration....you think you have it figured out and then...nope! I cry at everything now too so you are not alone!!! I keep telling myself there's a plan for everything but it's just so hard to believe sometimes. Life doesn't seem fair.
@vssbrm I'm so sorry. This will be round 4 for us too if BFN this month....at first I said I wasn't going to go right into another round but at this point im just so spent I figure might as well. enjoy the wine and your trip!!! Silver lining to all of this!
@vssbrm I'm sorry about your news today. We have discussed adoption, and we are both open and would be excited to adopt if we cannot have a biological child. Luckily, with help from my parents, we will be able to try one fresh IVF. We're capping our infertility journey there. One round fresh IVF and any frozens from that cycle. We both want to see it through for a biological child, but we are getting antsy and discouraged. Unfortunately, my coworker will be going on maternity leave in November, so I won't be able to take off work to do IVF until the end of her leave (or if I could manage to squeeze a few days off, the stress of doing 2xs the work makes me want to wait). She thinks she will be back no later than March 1, so we may start to IVF process in February. Since this cycle is looking to be a bust (yes, I know it's still possible, but I've released at least one egg the last 17 months and nothing), I think we may squeeze one more round of injects in.
So, I'm just ready to get to destination baby!

I had my CD9 ultrasound to check on the ovaries. The right side had a 14 and 12 with a bunch of little ones and the left side had a bunch of little ones. After finding the cornual polyp in my right tube, there isn't a way to remove it without potentially causing scarring or damage to the tube. So surgery to remove it was nixed. Because that further decreased the chance of an IUI being successful, this IUI cycle was cancelled and it was recommended that we start the IVF process in November by our RE.
Wishing all you ladies all the luck in the world with IUI! It can work and we've seen it work for some fabulous ladies. Fx for you all!
@Piperella I'm so so so sorry a part of me is slightly jealous that you can definitely say going to IVF is the right choice. I keep questioning how many IUIs I will try before I make the switch. I keep thinking, maybe 1 more and this will be the lucky round....the odds have to be in our favor at some point. I wish you so much luck....FX for you!!!
@Piperella So sorry to hear about your cancelation! I'm wishing you nothing but the best in your IVF journey. Any idea when you will be starting that process?

@laur2444 - I won't say it was easy to make the decision, but my RE let me speak my mind and my thoughts about moving forward and then he shared his thoughts. We were on the same page. If I wanted to continue this IUI, he would have let me. He was also willing to do a third IUI in hopes the follicles on my left side became the dominant follicles that round. The odds were just too stacked against us to go through the emotional and physical effects of medications with having such slim odds of having the correct ovary work its magic. I'm in the magic bubble of feeling good about making the right choice for us (DH and me), knowing we are in just the beginning steps of a very important journey (IVF). I would love to keep trying the IUIs if I knew I had a decent chance of it being successful. Unfortunately, it's not.
@riveridgional - Ty for your well wishes. My RE is guestimating that I should start my period on 11/1 so I would start the IVF process that day. We received all the paperwork and met with the finance lady today to receive all the options and charges for each. The RE has us scheduled for IVF with ICSI.
Thanks everyone! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it's even darker tomorrow morning when I test again.
@vssbrm my RE told me to call on Monday if I still have a positive result. I guess they set up my beta at that point. I'm not really sure since he's a man of very few words!! He didn't want me to actually test until Monday, which would be 19 days post iui. I just cannot hold out that long!
Here's hoping we have many more true BFPs this month!
@piperelle sorry to hear about your cancelled cycle.. i had my sept IUI cycle cancelled & i was not happy at all. but at least you get to start IVF soon! IVF is our next step if this cycle is a BFN. but we won't start the process right away bec i want to take a 6 mo break to get my mind & body ready for that process. im a little overweight & it the only thing i haven't tried to fix since we started this whole IF process.
@browne7975 my RE is the same way.....wants you to test 18 days post trigger then go in for beta if need be. I'm at 10 days post trigger right now and getting so antsy. This cycle feels nothing like my last 2 failed ones, so I have no idea what to make of it. If no AF by end of weekend I think I will cave and test. So excited for you!!!!
Re: October IUIs
Woohoo I'm back on the IUI train! Just went in for CD3 bloodwork and ultrasound. As the new RE stated "ovaries are ready to roll." LOL! I'll start 50mg of clomid Thursday and go for an ultrasound (and hopeful trigger shot) on CD14 which is early Saturday the 24th morning.
This is my first medicated cycle with this RE. My regular OB/GYN was disorganized and had me very frustrated with the process. I know it's not her specialty but her staff was terrible. The RE still highly recommends her for an OB but we will go down that road when we get there. The RE's staff has definitely soothed my OCD brain with this process. Very excited to move forward!

@riveridgional ugh that sucks. I'm so sorry. I don't understand why our bodies cannot be reliable and comsistent. For me, injects are OOP so I was very frustrated last cycle when I only had one lead after spending so much money. I'm sorry you are going through this
@Lilmissslp I agree, no more debt. We already have enough student debt. We have 5 degrees between the two of us, that adds up even with scholarships and what not. Trying to be as educated and successful as possible to provide the best possible lives for our family... blah.

I just tested this morning as well at 14 dpiui. It came back positive, but I'm very hesitant because I'm afraid it could still be the shot of hormones from 9 days ago left in my body. I tested on Sunday and the line was faint. Today, it is darker. I just can't let myself get excited yet because I'm feeling skeptical.
@browne7975 Yaaay!! I have my fingers crossed like crazy for you that it all works out. We needed a BFP today! If it is getting darker I would have to imagine that is a good sign. When will you go in for blood work?

Just this morning my sister asked me if we have considered adopting. I am so not ready emotionally to give up trying to have a bio child and I am really upset for my sister to even bring it up after I'm grieving yet another bfn.
I just keep thinking this will make me a stronger person.
@riveridgional I hear your frustration....you think you have it figured out and then...nope! I cry at everything now too so you are not alone!!! I keep telling myself there's a plan for everything but it's just so hard to believe sometimes. Life doesn't seem fair.
@vssbrm I'm so sorry. This will be round 4 for us too if BFN this month....at first I said I wasn't going to go right into another round but at this point im just so spent I figure might as well. enjoy the wine and your trip!!! Silver lining to all of this!
So, I'm just ready to get to destination baby!
@vssbrm my RE told me to call on Monday if I still have a positive result. I guess they set up my beta at that point. I'm not really sure since he's a man of very few words!! He didn't want me to actually test until Monday, which would be 19 days post iui. I just cannot hold out that long!
Here's hoping we have many more true BFPs this month!
