Only 1 F-ing follie

legaleagles · November 2010

I went in for my second US for IUI#2 and on Wednesday I had 1 lead follie and 3 that were looking good, but yet again, only the lead follie grew and the other stopped. So I triggered at the clinic and go in at noon tomorrow for my IUI.

I know it only takes one, but I'm bummed, sad actually. I didn't work last time with one, and I'm just upset that they've been so conservative w/ the meds. I know I have a sh!t ton of antral follicles, but who cares if they aren't growing kwim?

DH doesn't totally get it. If this cycle doesn't work we are taking a break until February. February is fvcking far away...and I'm doing it b/c of holiday travel and a friend's wedding...and now I'm starting to feel bitter about visiting ILs for the holidays and my friend.

and I have to miss a day trip to Napa tomorrow for my friend's b-day b/c they couldn't fit me in until noon tomorrow at the clinic. IF effing sucks.

I'm sorry you're disappointed. I hope that this one follie is the superstar of all follies and this cycle will be the one for you.

oh, M. I am sorry.

Getting one does suck but it might be the one. You never know!

DH did not get it until I broke down after my 2nd IUI fail and that all he has to do is drop off his sample and I have to go through all this. He finally realized that it is/was harder me than him.

I know February is far way (shiit, January is far away too) but it will be here before you know. At first, taking a break sucked b/c I felt I did not "fit in" anywhere but for us, it is the best. Both mentally, emotionally and financially.

I had to miss some important events b/c of the IUI but at the time, I knew it was a trade off if it meant that I would be PG. I am giving you good luck IUI vibes!

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry ((hugs)) my hope for you is that the follie kicks out 2 eggs! They can do that, I've been told. Sometimes they find additional eggs. It's like an Easter Egg hunt. Don't lose faith just yet. Keep holding on.

Imanurse03 · November 2010

I'm sorry. I can understand your disappointment. Hoping that this one is "the one!" Good luck!

Its hard because he is so optimistic and the optimism is great, but the meds are wreaking havoc on my body - I just don't want to have to keep doing this over and over.

I guess I can't do anything more now...and should just try to be optimistic. If it doesn't work, I'm going to refocus my energy on weight loss for a couple of months and getting back in shape. I guess there are worse things.

mikeandangie · November 2010

I really hope this follie is the lucky one and you won't even worry about February. Good luck tomorrow!

jlcrane78 · November 2010

I'm sorry. I know there are numerous success stories with only 1, but I admit that I would be disappointed too. And I know what it feels like to take a break when all you want to do is keep plugging along. I'm also sorry you have to miss the day trip to Napa. IF has a habit of ruining one thing after another.

I'm so sorry - I know it sucks...I just found out we only have 1 follie this month too. We have our IUI on Sunday morning so we can be cycle buddies!

Hang in there and sending lots of PPV your way! Good luck tomorrow and yes, IF effing sucks!

Thanks!! Good luck to you on Sunday - and yay for a cycle buddies. Hopefully the 2ww goes quickly - the last one didn't go so quick for me and I started POAS 11dpiui.

I'm sorry that you don't have more...I remember with IUI's I always hoped for more than one and understand how you're feeling.

I hope that this lead follie is your rockstar!

I'm totally with you on that. I've only ever had 1 follie develop, so I know how you feel.

jessican08 · November 2010

I'm sorry:-( But you're right, it ONLY takes one. I hope this follie and this cycle are it for you! Good luck!

oh man did DH have all the optimism in the world, but it still did not change the fact I was hormonal b/c of the meds. but I just told him I need him to listen.

That is what I am doing right now-refocusing my energy on weight loss as I do have control over that.

IF does suck.

i'm sorry sweetie. i hope this cycle works for you ((HUGS))

mdluv21 · November 2010

Sorry you are disappointed sweetie. I hope that one is all you need!

nola8446 · November 2010

You are right!! It only does take one. Best of luck tomorrow!

chizzle09 · November 2010

I know exactly how you are feeling. This is my first cycle with injectables (Gonal-F) and I had an u/s check yesterday and my RE told me I only have one mature follicle. I was so excited to be moving onto injectables because of more follicles and all I got was 1 lousy follicle. And DH is out of town so I have to use a frozen sample. Why can't it ever be easy??

Well I hope this is our lucky month and that our 1 follicles do their job!! Good luck!! I have my IUI tomorrow morning. I'm going to tell my RE that I want a higher dose next month, if he'll listen.
