So just heard from my Doctor. The mature follicle is on my side with no tube and the other is only 11. They still want me to trigger and go in for IUI. What is chances it will pick up? Anyone experience one tube?
@Krista537 I don't really have much experience with an IUI and I'm certainly not a doctor, but it doesn't seem right to me they would have you trigger tonight and go through with the IUI if the 21 follicle is on the side withno tube. I guess their concern is that you will O on your own and may lose the timing for the IUI, but if the only mature follicle would release on the wrong side, it doesn't make sense to me. Maybe they are hoping the 11 will release too? Are you paying oop or through insurance? I know it would suck big time, but if we're me (who pays everything oop), I would probably cancel the IUI and Trigger to save the money. Maybe call your doctor back and ask of they are hoping the trigger will release the 11 on the unblocked side? Perhaps there is some miscommunication going on and the 21 really is on the good side.
I hope everything works out!
Married to DH 10/6/12
TTC since 5/14
Unexplained with (controlled) hypothyroidism and suspected ovulatory dysfunction (but, I do ovulate on my own)
Clomid 50 mg 3/15 (unmonitored) - BFN
Clomid 50 mg + metformin 4/15 (unmonitored) - BFN
First RE appt. 5/15; Natural cycle 5/15 monitored with 2 mature follicles and Pregnyl Trigger (full dose) + prometrium - BFN
6/15 HSG - clear tubes & normal uterus; great PCT test results
TI - 100 mg Clomid + prometrium (AM & PM) + vaginal estrace (AM & PM) 6-7/15 (monitored) --> no additional response and thinned lining - BFN
TI - Injectables (follistim + Gonal-F, Ganirelix, & 1/2 dose Pregnyl) + prometrium (AM & PM) 9/15 --> 3-7 mature follicles (3 definites and 4+ that could have matured due to trigger) @ O -->BFN + 5 large cysts
@riveridgional I called them earlier and asked about the correct side. They said there is a chance the good tube will pick up the mature one in the bad side. I guess it happens. I don't have insurance. It's so frustrating to not know what to do.
Just got the call with my results from Beta test and it was a BFN. Very bummed.
Guess I will be starting round 2 next week.

@KidShrink good luck with your IUI tomorrow! Exciting! I'll be keeping my fx for you.
@Krista537 I'm not so sure I'd go through with the IUI either, as @riveridgional said I'd probably just do the trigger and BD at home for this cycle.

Hey Ladies, So I just had my 3rd IUI today....goin back tomorrow for my 4th one. My 1st two was in NYC a few years ago and it was just with Clomid. I only produced 1 follicle, but now that I moved to PA, I found a fabulous RE who put me on Follistim and the trigger and this cycle I had 4 mature follicles. She also is doin back to back IUI to increase my chances of conceiving. I'm just nervous when about multiples, anyone conceived multiples with 4 follicles?
Nearing the end of my 2ww! Im 11dpiui and 12p trigger.
Humor me: Ive been testing the trigger out (and beyond because im crazy). Ive had an absolute GHOST of a line since Sunday. My husband even agreed its there but its so faint if you go in to much light it goes away lol. Im pretty sure we are out this cycle but still clinging to this worlds faintest line.
So what do y'all thing? Lingering trigger? Evap line? Or a crazy faint positive??

@Krista537 Maybe you could ask them to measure the follicle again before the IUI and if it hasn't gotten bigger, cancel? I don't know if that would be a good idea or not.

Went to the doctor yeaterday. About 6 to 8 follicles. Depending on how many keep growing. Two (12mm), three (13mm) and one (14), some smaller. Lining is still thin. I'm still bummed this round. I feel like everything is the same. Every month, thin lining and lots of follicles (I get more and more each month- thats one positive) but it doesn't amount to much- keep getting BFN. So I'm scared to get my hopes up this month bc I don't want to be let down again. I was hoping I would go in and they would say my lining was doing great this month.

@Colleen0516 I'm sorry. Hopefully it will get better and you will get your BFP.
I go in tomorrow for an ultrasound and bloodwork since I still haven't seen AF. She said it should help the doctor see if I have ovulated. If I have ovulated we will wait until I get AF and start treatment. (I know I haven't ovulated.) If not they will give me an oral medicine to take for 10 days, then 7-10 days after I will get AF and we will start treatment. I just hope the oral medication works.

@Colleen0516 can the dr have you take something to thicken your lining? Last month my lining was thinner than the dr wanted so she gave me estradiol to take vaginally and it thickened my lining up quite a bit
@Adorkablepixie in the spring when AF didn't show up due to the fact that I never ovulated I took a pill to bring on AF..it was called provera..i believe it is progesterone so it tricks your body into thinking you ovulated..then when you stop the meds your levels drop which is what triggers AF..i took the pills for 7 days and then a week later AF showed up. It's annoying to wait but it worked for me. Good luck
I go to the Dr tomorrow for my CD 3 baseline and to get my schedule of treatment for the month. I know we are doing letrozole and menopur but just not sure what days/how long.
@Colleen0516 : it's not over til it's over! I was responding much more slowly this cycle, and ended up with anywhere between 1 and 4 follies (I have a few 14 and 15 that were growing fast at the end (and I could continue to feel that area twitching all day yesterday). What meds are you on again? Anything like Clomid that could thin your lining? If not, have you had a 3D US of your uterus (or other study that would allow you to see the shape)? I had the same issue in my 3 letrozole and TI cycles, and that's how it was decided that I should get a hysteroscopy. It sucked, but the RE corrected the shape which was slightly abnormal and my lining is since growing super well (it was 8.5mm yesterday, and consistently grew 1mm a day the last two days).
I had my IUI this morning. Not painful, apart from the speculum. DH also had great numbers (enough to repopulate Canada!), so FX til my beta scheduled for August 24! 13 days to go!

Wishing everyone luck this month!!! This is my first IUI cycle I went in today for monitoring- I was on 5 days of premara and have been taking 100iu of follitism for the past 3 days. My lining was at 5 and I had two- three follicles around 11-14. I have to continue with the shots for two more nights and go back Thursday... What do they want your lining to be? Does it change much in 2 days with follitism or have you been given something else?
@rachlee2010 I hope it works for me. The OBGYN had me take that for five days back when we first started going to the dr for infertility and it didn't do anything. I am hoping it does this time. I just want to get this moving. It seems like one thing after the other with this, I feel like we will never get treatment!
@Krisd6 I think they want your lining to be at least 8. I think a lot can change in 2 days from what I have seen. Good luck!

@Krisd6 : above 8mm is best (pregnancy can happen even if thinner, but more difficult). When I get closer to ovulation, my lining has gone up by as much as 1mm per day. What day are you on? Were you on Femara and Follistim or only Follistim?
@Krisd6 : seems like we had the same protocol then (I was on 75IU of Follistim instead). I found it took longer than my normal for follies to grow, but the nurse told me it would help with quality. From day 11 to day 12, I had 3 follies on my left ovary that grew my 3mm overnight, and my lining by a full mm. There's hope! FX things go well for you from here!
Hi ladies!!! I am new to the If group. I just started seeing my RE a little over a month ago and was diagnosed with Hydrosalpinx in my rt tube. We are doing a laproscopy next month (september) to remove the tube but since we have an entire cycle before surgery we decided to give IUI a shot! I am currently on CD8 and just waiting for my mid cycle monitoring appointments. I took my last clomid yesterday and my trigger is in the fridge waiting! The IUI will only happen if I Ovulate from my good side (left). I would love to join this group if you'll have me. I am sorry we are all in the position to need IUIs but I'm happy to meet people that understand the stress of it all. If all goes well I should IUI sometime early/mid next week. FX for all of you!

I finally got some good news today. I went in for my cd3 baseline and I have more follicles than I ever have before (well since i've been seeing an RE) The dr was really happy with what she saw. I am waiting to hear from the nurse after my blood results come in to get my exact timeline but I should be starting meds tonight. I am taking letrozole and menopur this cycle. It is the protocol they use for low dose IVF but we are doing IUI as a test to see how I respond. Hopefully I will respond well and the IUI will work..if the IUI doesn't but I respond well we will do the same thing next month but with IVF instead of IUI. I am hoping this is my month. I guess at this point I would be doing my IUI towards the end of August sometime around the 23rd or so. So my beta wouldn't be until early september.
