Re: IUI check in May 13 (will repost link in morning)
Hi! Thanks for doing this. I just switched from an OBGYN to an RE. I received my meds today and will be doing an IUI next cycle (should begin in end of May!)
Finished follistim tonight, w/ an u/s 5/13am, w/likely trigger in the pm & IUI on Sat. 5/15.
I am doing my regular exercise (walking, eliptical) during this cycle.
5 REs + 3 surgical hysteroscopies for septum/lap + 3 failed IUIs
IVF w/ICSI/AH & acu = BFP!, unexplained spontaneous m/c @ 8w2d (our little girl),
FET w/acu = BFP!, B/G twins!, lost MP @19w, dx w/funneling cervix @20w,
twins nearly lost to IC @21w, saved by rescue cerclage, 17P & 16w of bedrest
Our twins born @36w4d via CS when A came foot first
Thankful for every day
I'm still waiting for beta (5/18) or AF. I had major temp drop this morning but the timing of temp was all off so I'm still delusional that it is not real and will temp will be back up tomorrow (no sign of AF otherwise - which is NOT the same as last BFN IUI) who knows, right?
qotd: yes. I do moderate exercise 3-5 times a week - walking, light jog, elliptical. only restriction RE gave me was nothing for 2 days after IUI.
good luck ladies!
Update: My cycle was cancelled on Mon for lack of follicle growth :-(.
QOTD: Yes, but not as much as I would like. However I have talked two of the ladies at work into doing a mile walk 2x a day with me. So hopefully even if I don't get to the gym I will at least get in 2 miles a day 5 days a week.
Me - DX Hashimoto's Disease, Hypothyroid, Rheumatoid Arthritis
DH - DX Azoospermia - Sertoli Cell Syndrome
DS-IUI #1-4 BFN IVF #1 - BFP! It's a boy!!!
SalleyAnn you are so on top of this!!! I am impressed!
AF showed up today. So I will get a progesterone check in 14 days to see if I ovulate on my own. Then the next cycle after I will be on 100mg of clomid and IUI #2. Sadly IUI#2 will be our last IUI. If I dont get a BFP from IUI #2 we will move on to IVF.
QOTD: I should be. I just started a new diet though and they recommend being on this diet for 2 weeks before exercising.
IUI#2 should be around 5/23 or 5/24.
QOTD: No
I was doing a bootcamp at 5am but it just interferes with work too much and it's too costly right now
Wow...you are really on top of things! Thanks so much for doing this.
My information is correct in the "Awaiting Future IUI" category (but it's also listed in the "Awaiting IUI" category - the first one, but that's not me...not follie checks in the near future.
Anyway, my 2nd IUI was a BFN. I was ready to start cycling again this week, but I have lots of cysts and an enlaged right ovary. So, I'm on BCP for 3 weeks and I go back in on June 7 for my next check. Really hoping that I can start then. I was so bummed to learn that I have to take a break cycle.
GL to everyone in the 2ww.
I'm 9dpiui and overanalyzing every little thing I feel (you ladies know how it is)
QOTD: I have not been exercising in the 2ww, but I did up until my IUI. If I get a BFN, I'll get my butt right back to my zumba classes....If I get a BFP, I'll ask the doc what he thinks about me doing zumba class while pregnant.
GL to everyone in the 2ww
Hi All!!
Correction-my beta is May 28th. Oops...I can't count! So it's a 16 day wait. I'm debating whether or not I will POAS beforehand...that is, if Aunt Flo doesn't come for a visit--fingers crossed! Thanks for the support, you ladies ROCK!
QOTD: Are you exercising during IUI cycles? I am doing light exercise-walking a mile or two after work with the doggie and DH.
Good luck everyone!
Diagnosed PCOS & MFI-Success with IUI

I just see a typo in my SN, no big deal but my sn is Bella2u07

Update: I did my IUI #4 on Monday the 10th, and will POAS Monday the 24th - or earlier, depending on how antsy I get. At this point, I don't want to know what that pee stick will say, as I'm not sure what our next step will be if this doesn't work.
Okay - enough Debbie Downer here.
I had three mature follies and had an LH surge at the "perfect time," according to my RE.
QOTD: I don't workout, with specific instructions from my RE.
Good luck everyone!

GL to everyone!!
My update is: Tuesday CD11 i had a follie check they found two follies 14mm and 16mm i took my trigger shot last night, and tomorrow i am set up for my first IUI at 930am. Fingers and toes crossed.
I'm new and would like to join!
QOTD: I'm keeping my regular exercise schedule, my RE said that was fine.
Update: First monitoring appt tomorrow after 100mg of clomid, days 3-7, then hopefully trigger Sat for Mon morning IUI.
~Life After Infertility~
You are all so sweet. I really didn't think I was going to get the updates included in my list above. But then DH had to work late last night so I I had time.
Sorry for any typo's and mistakes. I will fix them for next week. And *fingers crossed* start the BFP section!
My Update: I am 7dpiui and not enjoying the 2ww or the progesterone supp's. Ewww... Anyways, I have had lots of cramping and felt a sick to my stomach so maybe that's good, or maybe it's the meds. I don't even know what to think. Only 5 more sleeps until my beta! I am thinking positive. Oh I hope it is positive. I hope we all get positives.
QOTD: My RE said no contact sports, and I am a coach potato so that has been okay. I want to join the gym with a friend and start going to yoga. I think if I get a BFN I will join next week. If I get a BFP I will talk to my RE about it more. I feel like a blob.
Thank you for the good luck!
Best of luck to the rest of you ladies with IUI!
Update- Had my consult with my RE yesterday and IUI w/injects it is. So that means that IUI #4 will be underway as soon as AF gets here (any day now). I am going to be using Gonal-F and ovidrel! YAY!
QOTD- I do until the 2ww then I feel weird about it and worry so I dont.
I would like to be added. Currently waiting, next follie check 5-18.
I'm not exersizing, but I am doing Yoga. Anything to stay relaxed!

Hey again all!
HAPPY BETA-ing!!!
I am currently 6 dpIUI. Soooo, the 2WW SSSUUUUUCCCCKKKKKS for me too!
I just got a new job yesterday that pays more than 3X my current salary! The "funny" part is, my co-worker and I were joking that it will all go towards fertility treatments! Hopefully said job has better insurance as well!
Here's hoping!
Either way, I have felt a little weirdness in the belly region as well but not sure what it is.
Does anyone know how you temps should look when prego? How much higher do they get? This month is my first BBT tracking cycle.
QOTD: I was training for a Triathlon but stopped about 2 weeks ago. We will see what happens NEXT FRIDAY when I test! WISHING YOU ALL THE BEST!
