  • Hi, I am new to this. My first IUI is scheduled for June! My AF should arrive (but it would be great if it didn't and I get a BFP) this Friday and I need to call my fertility clinic then. I have no idea what it will be like, but ever since my DH's numbers went up so we qualify for IUI (our only option was IVF before) I have been very hopeful and excited. Fingers crossed that we all get BFPs!

    Welcome and Good Luck!!  Glad to hear IUI is an option now - hoping you don't need it ;)

    Also, make sure to post an intro on the main board so that everyone can "meet" you.  I think only IUI ladies check this board, so anyone with different treatments might miss it.

  • I just had my lap this week. They discovered some endometriosis, but I am still waiting to hear how much since I was "a little out of it" when my doctor explained the whole thing. My next cycle we will be starting clomid with IUI.

  • IUI #5 was a BFFN...that's right...I used the F word!!!

    I have a RE appt. on 6/8 to see if it's worth doing an IUI#6 (I'm pretty sure we will). If that doesn't work...we're taking a haitus and moving on to IVF this winter.

    QOTW ? If you could only eat two foods for the rest of your life, what would you choose? (again, send any ideas for questions!)

    Hmmmm...I'll have to go with chips/salsa and chocolate. My lifespan of course will be shortened significantly by my exclusive consumption of these two foods Stick out tongue

  • I start stims tomorrow night for IUI#4.  My guestimate is that the IUI will be 6/2 or 6/3. This is my last IUI. I will be moving on to IVF in July if it doesn't work.

     Good luck to all!

    ETA:  If you could only eat two foods for the rest of your life, what would you choose?

    Definitely chocolate. Is wine a food? If not, I'll go with pizza.

  • Hi! Can you add me please?

    I'm 3dpiui#3. It was my first time doing back-to-back inseminations so hopefully this does the trick. This will probably be our last IUI before moving on to IVF.

    QOTW ? If you could only eat two foods for the rest of your life, what would you choose? Hmmm, this is a hard one. Probably ice cream and pizza since there's so many varieties and I'd be able to switch it up. Big Smile

    After 2+ years TTC, 1 miscarriage, & 3 failed IUI's... IVF#1 worked! DD born 2012
    2013 FET#1: BFP, but we lost the baby at 12 weeks
    2013 FET#2: BFN
    2014 FET#3: BFP, but our sweet baby was born sleeping at 33 weeks
    IVF#2: BFP! DD born 2015
    2017 IVF#3: BFN
    2017 IVF#4: BFN
    1st Dx = Unexplained IF, 2017 Dx = DOR
  • I'm 7dpiui today. Not feeling anything. The last couple of times I had some cramping and this time nothing at all. Still another week to go!  ((sigh))

    QOTW: pizza and ice cream. Hands down!

  • Can you include me? Possibly IUI scheduled for 5/31 or 6/1. This will be our 5th iui

    QOTW ? If you could only eat two foods for the rest of your life, what would you choose? chocolate and pb....they are awesome together.

  • Update: We've got IUI #3 scheduled for tomorrow morning.  I triggered last night with 1 follie measuring 22 and an e2 of 128 (Femara apparently makes e2 lower than normal).  Unfortunately, the follie is on the right side AGAIN, and my right tube is maybe blocked. 

    QOTW:   I'd pick salad for sure.  I love all salad.  And maybe Reese's peanut butter eggs (the kind that only come out at Easter in the yellow packages.... yum!). 

    TTC since November 2009
    Mild MFI, irregular cycles, HSG only showed left tube open

  • I am on day 3 of Clomid gearing up for IUI #5.  We are doing this one while we get all of the IVF testing and meetings and other stuff out of the way.  If it is a bust, then we are either doing one more and reconsidering or going straight to IVF, which I dread more than pretty much anything in the whole world.

    QOTW -- I'm thinking guacamole for my meals and white chocolate for my dessert.  My stomach might hurt, but I'm fairly certain it would be worth it!

    Me = LPD + cancer survivor, DH = low count and morphology

    QOTW - I would have to say pizza and pad thai.  I pretty much exist on these foods anyways.

  • Hi! I'm new to the board too.  I had IUI #1 yesterday (5/23/11).  Just starting my 2ww.  If I could only eat two foods it would be pizza and string cheese. 

    TTC since 6/2010 1st IUI 5/23/2011
  • I just had IUI #1 with clomid and a trigger shot on 5/22. I test on June 4th so now I am in the terrible two week wait.
  • 8dpiui#2 and other than cramping every now and then plus slight soar boobs this cycle is so much better.  I am trying not to POAS before 14dpiui but it is so hard to do.  DH and I are on vacation from Friday and he wants me to test before we goes.

     QOTW - Penna pasta alfredo with mushroom, spinach and bacon.

     

  • Update:  Going in for monitoring on Friday.  Hopefully IUI#3 will be soon after.  A little nervous that I am producing too many follies with the higher dosage of clomid.  Hoping and praying that we can go through with this IUI.

    QOTW:  If I had to eat only two foods for the rest of my life it would have to be ice cream and potato chips (of course not together).  I love my snack foods!

    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
  • I have my next RE appointment on Friday so I'll know what our game plan is then.  I'm pretty sure that IUI#2 will be in June.  I'll keep you updated.

  • Hello everyone,

     I have a question. Is it typical to get your first IUI done without clomid? I have had blood tests (the ones they do on day 21) and both have shown that I ovulate, but my DH had MFI with very low sperm count so I thought they would put me on clomid but they haven't. Should I request it? I just don't want to waste one of my 6 IUIs if the chances are so low it will work.

     Also, for you ladies with have had BFPs with your IUIs, did any of them work without clomid?

     Thanks!

    You will get a lot more responses to your second question if you post it on the SAIF board - most people here have never had a BFP.  But, to answer your question, my first IUI was unmedicated and I did get a BFP (ended at 7.5 weeks, but my m/c has no relevance to you so don't worry about it).  I don't have any advice on weather you should ask for the clomid or not...are you doing your IUI with an RE or a OBGYN?

    Hi ladies.  I met with a new RE last night that I am considering for IVF and he wants to run some more tests to rule out a couple other issues that could be causing me not to respond to the meds.  At this point he is not sure if he wants to try another cycle with meds and aim for IUI or if IVF is the answer.  I will go for 10 days of progersterone vaginally and do 8am and 4pm blood tests on day 8 along with CD3 testing to see what turns up.  So at least for this next cycle it looks like we will be in a testing cycle.  I am excited at the possibility that we may find another answer to why meds aren't working but at the same time I don't want to get my hopes up.  Either way, I am ready for a plan and to figure out a starting date for either my next IUI or an IVF cycle.

    Brenda & Phillip married 10/10/09 

    After 6 years of failed cycles, we were blessed with our little man through adoption.
