Hi - I normally post a little on TTCAL and more often on TTC after 35. Today is six months to the day after my m/c at 18 weeks. Also CD1. I'm starting IUI this month so at least I have something to look forward to. Anyone else doing IUIs over here?

I also have a question - I'm concerned maybe I'm not ovulating. I don't temp I use the CBEFM and last month couldn't confirm O. Also before I got the monitor had a month I couldn't confirm O on OPKs. I'll be using Femara this month in conjunction with the IUI and I think they do a day 10 ultrasound to see how the follicles are developing but not sure they do an ultrasound to confirm that I did actually O. I know they said they'd give me a trigger shot if I didn't get a positive OPK but can't you get a positive OPK and not release an egg? Anyway - any suggestions on whether to temp or not is appreciated.

I hate welcoming new girls over here, but of course you can join us.

Not sure about your questions....I'd default to the RE or OB on those.

Of course you are welcome. I'm sorry for your loss.

I just finished my 6th unsuccessful IUI cycle. I did 3 with Clomid and 3 with Follistim. My RE doesn't do an u/s to confirm ovulation, but I did use an ovidrel trigger every time so she assured me that I definitely ovulate. It is possible to not release an egg after a +OPK so I would I would probably just do the trigger to make sure. I temped through most of my IUI's, but my RE said it's useless since the meds can mess with your temps. I was also keeping track of my symptoms in FF so I just temping - your temp will still drop if AF is coming so it was helpful to me to know that. Good luck! I hope your IUI works for you.
