Azoo girls: how many DIUI's for Baby #2??

We are thinking about when we would like to TTC for #2. Tell me how trying for #2 was different for #1. Did you start from the beginning or did you go straight to what finally worked? How many cycles did it take for #1 and for #2? Did you have singleton or multiples? Just being curious and trying to get prepared for this mental rollercoaster again. TIA!

  • With DC#1, my 1st IUI worked; however, they told me during my 2ww that they would try a different protocol if that IUI didn't work because Clomid had no effect on me and I ended up using injectibles so they would just do IUI w/injectibles and no Clomid.  Luckily, the 1st time worked.

    So the 2nd time, I had IUI w/injectibles and the 2nd time worked.  We ended up with twins on that time!

    Good luck!  I hope your pg happens quickly! :)

    Thanks!! How are you doing?? I haven't seen/talked to you in forever! How are all those babes of yours?? I can't believe all of our kids are getting so big! :) Are you planning on any more or are you done?

  • Doing well, thanks!  As you can see by my outdated picture and ticker I have been keeping really busy at home and work.  Gavin is turning 3 this Friday (still can't believe it) and the twins are 17 months old!  It's amazing how quickly time flies.  DH and I say we are done and have sold back our vials and the donor is discontinued so unless we have a half-sibling, we are done.  Recently, I have kind of had baby fever again but I know that 3 kids is hard enough to deal with, not to mention the finances.  I just hate that our opportunity to consider having kids in the future is limited to vials and availability! :(

    How've you been doing?  Your little girl is so precious! 

  • we have no plans for #2 but I just wanted to say OMG I can't believe you're ready and thinking of number two! How exciting!
  • Hey Monica!!  It's been forever.  I would love to see some update pics!  I can't believe Gavin is going to be 3 in just a few days.  Time goes by so quickly!

    3 already!!! We are good. We are in a transition time of new jobs and such, but we found out yesterday that our donor is retiring and what vials he has left is IT. So that's why TTC #2 is on my mind. We probably won't do anything til later this year, probably august at the earliest, but i want to make sure i have a full blood sibling for Abby. Abby is at the BEST stage right now. Walking, learning to talk, 8 teeth. I love it. I can't wait to add another one to our family.

    Yes, we want to see updated pics! :)

    agree! She is so cute! :)

  • Gail- did you decide what to do about the vials?  were you going to purchase some or all of them?

    Well, i talked with the bank again yesterday and found out he will have one more batch coming out today of 25 vials and then that is it. He had about 25 vials last week, so i suspect he will probably be out in a week or so. I talked with DH last night, and i think we agreed on purchasing 4 and shipping 2 to begin with. if it works, great we can sell the other two back, if it doesn't we will have a few back ups. we only plan on doing this once more, so we aren't going to purchase a ton. we will either have two kids or three (if we have twins or somehting LOL). But that's our plan. and since more are coming out today that will give us a few days to get our finances lined up to purchase the vials.

  • zoog - That sounds like a good plan regarding purchasing that amount of vials.  It's such a guessing game!  But at least you have a plan!

    sarah and deja - OMG!  I have been off the boards forawhile...your kids look sooo much bigger than I remember and they are adorable!!!

    Yeah, I have been a slacker!  I will try to update the pic tonight and post tomorrow!  Obviously, the twins look completely different...now that they can walk and all!  haha!

  • With both girls, we were successful on our second DIUI attempt.  I did everything the same; clomid and metformin, lucky socks, the works.

     Good luck!!!

  • zoog- totally jumping on the mnj bandwagon.  glad you decided what to do and purchase some vials.  it sucks not knowing how many attempts it may take.  i hope it works VERY quickly for you the next time.  and at least you can sell them back, but still having to come up with all that money so suddenly sucks!  we're very lucky that our insurance pays, so we have a few in storage, but if not we'd be charging up the credit cards and that's something we so don't want to do.
