Question for ladies who have had IUI's

in TTC after 35

Did you chart?  I'm scheduled for an IUI on my next cycle, which should be coming up in a week or so.  I'm wondering if it is worth charting?  I took this past month off because of a lap procedure--but am wondering if I should pick it back up next month for my IUI cycle.

What did you do?

Thanks!

    I did the first time and not the second. If you are going to be monitored, I would skip it. All it did was stress me out!

    I did not, mostly because my Doctor didn't want me temping, her theory is that it just depresses you/stresses you out taking that temp every morning. I actually enjoy keeping track of what's going on with my body & didn't feel that it depresses me at all, but I followed directions and skipped it. ?I was monitored by the doctor with a couple of u/s before IUI so it definitely was not necessary for me to chart my temps. ??

    I just had my first and I didn't temp. It seemed pointless since I was being monitored.  I like my sleep too, I didn't want to have to worry about getting up at the same time everyday.

    I did not.  They were monitoring me, so I figured it was not worth it.  One less thing to stress about.

    Good luck!

    Yes, I have charted all 3 times.  For some reason it makes me feel like I am "doing more." 

    That being said, I don't think I will chart if we have any more IUIs.

    My RE actually said not too...he also said to "stay off the internet"...as there is lots of info out there and our case is our case.

    So no, I didn't doing anything other than daily b/w and u/s while being monitored (d9 - d14), after the b2b IUIs, all I'm doing in my prog-supps and waiting, oh and trying not to obsess (ha!).

    TTC since July 2007 a year on our own, 7 IUIs spread out over 2 years, all BFN IVF attempt #1 - September - antagonist protocol, called off CD8 due too poor response IVF attempt #2 - November - called off on CD11 due to low estrogen IVF attempt #3 - started stims Jan 25th...converted/cancelled Jan 31st...SWITCHED BACK TO IVF Feb 3rd! ER Feb 7th...lets DO this! ET Feb 12th, Beta #1 141, Beta #2 356, u/s #1 hb 141 bpm, u/s at 7 weeks 1 day no hb, missed m/c. So sad. IVF #4 scheduled for June 2011, last chance, this is it

    Thanks for the feedback!  Though it's been nice not temping this month, I think I might just start up again for the iui cycle even though I'm being monitored, just because I think I would feel better keeping track of something.  I'm not sure yet.

     Thanks again!
