TTC After a Loss

I feel so stupid! (IUI#3 update)

So I went in today for the follie check and to find out when we will be doing the IUI.  Good news is that I have a huge (biggest follie I have developed) follie at 20 on the right.  Another 15 one on the right and a 16 one on the left.  So we are triggering tonight and doing the IUI on Sunday. 

Now for the part where I feel soooo incredibly stupid... The nurse was going over the IUI protocol with me and she mentioned the times in which I am suppose to trigger.  Turns out that I was triggering way to early with the past 2 IUIs so they might not of worked b/c the timing was all off b/c I triggered too early.  I feel so stupid.  Tongue Tied

  • Aww, don't feel stupid! There is a lot to take in with all of this stuff.  AND I hope that that's the "missing piece" and now that you will trigger at the right time, it will lead to your sticky BFP! I have lots of hope for you :)

  • You shouldn't feel stupid! Isn't that something your doc should have clarified with you before? 

    Shake that off! Now you have great follies and can think nothing but happy thoughts for this IUI! Party!!!  <-- don't ask me whyI think that is the appropriate little smiley.

  • Good Luck!  And don't feel bad!  Did they clearly explain to you before when you should be triggering?  If they didn't explain correctly, then it's their fault!

  • GREAT news on the big plump follie!  At least you know you'll be triggering properly this month.  Good luck!!
  • You shouldn't feel stupid at all.  Be thankful you found out the timing wasn't right now.  I am keeping my fingers crossed that this is your cycle!

  • At least you figured it out before this time!
  • Aw, well, at least you have a reason as to why they might not have worked!  Good luck with this one!

  • that's great great news! (what day are you?)

    really, don't feel stupid - this stuff is so confusing. I swear even though I went to their tutorial on injections, watched a video on line, and read the brochures like 12 times, I still second guess how I am doing the injection and if I'm measuring it right, blah blah blah. and HOW would you know you were doing it wrong? I blame them, not you, for not explaining it well enough. 

    YEAH Good luck Sunday!!!

    EmbarrassedEmbarrassed  They clearly went over it with me this time, but in the past they always gave me a sheet of paper and said "here is your instructions".  It is on that paper.   I had the info for the 1st 2 iui's, I just did not read the instructions on it.

    It has to be somewhere from 6pm to midnight.  DH wants us to trigger tonight at midnight so we can avoid being to early... I hope that it works.  We were triggering at 4pm for the last iuis...

    Ah yes, the 6-12pm time frame. I'm glad you have it figured out now. :)  That time frame always worked well for me since I never get home until after 6 or so now.

    Good luck this cycle! I really hope that this is your month!

  • Great news on the follies!  Good luck on Sunday.  I usually trigger around 8-9pm so that it's 36 hours before the IUI.  I hope when you push it back a few hours it works out this time!

  • Don't feel stupid!  I am so glad they went over the times with you this time, though, and didn't assume that since you have had 2 already, you knew!

    Hope this one works better!

  • Don't feel stupid. You can't time everything perfectly. I wish you the best of luck on Sunday. Sounds like you have a nice big follie ready to go!! GL!!!

  • Great follie news!!!  woo-hoo!  GOOD LUCK on Sunday! Party!!!

    Now why in the world would they have not told you exactly when to trigger on your previous IUIs??  You should in NO WAY feel stupid.  It is their freakin job to tell you when to trigger (my RE told me the exact time).  oh I that is so frustrating!  But don't worry - this sounds like 3rd times the charm!

    GOOD LUCK!!!!!!  Smile

  • Good Luck!

    And don't beat yourself up over the timing of the trigger. ::hugs::  The nurse should always at least go over the info on the paperwork, even if she's done it a million times with you already. ;) 

    I hope this is your lucky sticky baby month!! :)

  • That's awesome! Guess the gonal F is forcing your ovaries afterall!

    As for the timing of the trigger... while frustrating, it's very promising for this cycle!

    Tons of luck!

  • Oh no!

     

    Try not to think about it.  You did the best you knew to do.  This stuff is all way to confusing anyway!

     

    3rd times a charm!  So this is it!  GL and know your in my prayers!!

    :::: hugs ::::

  • That sucks :(

    I hope this is your lucky cycle then!!
