Re: May IUI

  • Hey gals - Thanks for all your responses. That was a rough day. I had another u/s on Wed and I started to see some response; an 11 and 13. Back today and the 13 is now a 15. Another u/s is scheduled for Tuesday. FX that that one good one keeps growing. 

    I know that we have home remedies for everything.. anything to make this follie grow? ;)

    @roxgibbons That is good to hear. I know that injectables are in my future! Clomid just didn't work for me and Femara seems to bring the slowest response EVER. 
    @NurseTMD85 You were right - they are!
    @hispenguin good luck with your beta on the 6th!

    I am off to the June IUI board!

    July 2020 FET; beta 1 310, beta 2 1278

  • IUI is later today at 3:00 PST. Dropped off DH's sample and I'm hoping he has some good numbers. I was initially bummed about my one follie but like I said my nurse said it was a good size (24mm) FX this is a good egg. And to be honest the last two IUIs I had three and four mature follies and BFNs so you never know, but man I wish I had some more targets for DHs guys. 

    The voodoo plan is in action big time this TWW. I have an acupuncture appt today after my IUI which will be a first for me combining the two. 

    @NurseTMD85 we are IUI twins!! 
    @LeFemmeViolette GL! I hope this is your cycle
    @omarismyhomeboy GL tomorrow! 

    @madasm0530 hope Tuesday will bring your follies some more growth!

    I'm still gonna go ahead and post the spreadsheet, even though I know a lot of you have moved on to the June IUI board.  June ladies, feel free to take the data over to your new group!  I will not be joining you, as I have already moved myself over to June/July IVF.  I hope that June IUI sees more success than May did.

  • Just finished my IUI-unfortunately had a different NP do it since the ones I've worked with did not have an appt available.  She was so icy and cold. DH even thought so. She didn't even give the speech of make sure to BD tonight and tomorrow. She basically rushed out of there. It just left me feeling not so great and not very positive.

  • @roxgibbons I'm sorry you had a bad experience! Stay positive! Don't let her attitude affect yours! I see BFPs in our future!

    I I also had a different NP today but she was great. A little concerned that I had 3 mature follicles. Especially
    since DH's sample was excellent. 19 mil, 94% motility, and 4++ progression. But I told her we were aware of the risk of multiples and are willing to go forward. Fx that the 6th time is the charm. Preferably with only
    one baby, but I'll take what I can get

  • Thanks @NurseTMD85. I ended up feeling better later and like you said didn't let her attitude influence mine. I had an acupuncture appt two hours later and my acupuncturist did a post transfer protocol on me. This is the first time in combining IUI and acupunture so hopefully it will help.  Three follicles are great!! GL for the two week wait :)

  • Hi everyone!  I assume we should still post on this board if we are waiting out our May IUI results?

    I hope memorial day weekend has been relaxing for all.  My hubby and I decided at the last minute yesterday to become members at the neighborhood pool.  We got to go there for a couple hours to soak up some sun and take a dip. 

    I am trying to keep busy during this two week wait -- thinking about painting our kitchen cabinet!!  It would be a big project!  I've been feeling mild cramps the last few days and was in tears last week because it occurred to me that this is probably another failed month.  Then I counted up the months of failure (this would make 31) just to make myself feel worse.  Ugh.  But this weekend I've been trying to "love myself" and love my body, even though it feels broken.  I went on a nice run and did some yoga (have you ever seen the Yoga with Adrienne videos on YouTube?  She is great).  So that's the story!  Hope everyone else who is in the two week wait has been hanging in there too... sending <3

    @lady_grey- I am a huuuge DIY nerd. I think you should absolutely do those cabinets. I'm in the middle of my 2WW and doing projects is a great distraction. Check out my latest project in the June IUI board. ; )

    Also love yoga w/ Adrienne. : )

  • I'm 13dpiui and I am too scared to test in fear of disappointment! I'm just going to bunker down with my mystery novels, chocolate chip cookies, and wait and see if AF decides to show up.
  • Decided against doing anymore IUIs... just going to focus on relaxing and enjoying June before we have our IVF consult in July.

    Looking forward to seeing the rest of this month's results... we've gotta have a BFP lurking in here somewhere, right??

  • @Monica54321 Thanks, what a let down! Ah well, one more IUI for us while we get our IVF situation in order :)
  • My app was acting up while I was on my stay-cation so I have been MIA! Sorry to everyone that got a BFN :disappointed: Good luck to anyone testing the rest of this week/weekend. We need BFPs!!!!

    Apparently my beta is 6/10/16, not 6/13/16... which is totally fine with me!!! I'm 6dpiui. I took Robitussin for a week prior and Mucinex the day before and day of the IUI. The night before I had acupuncture and the morning before I had a fertility massage and they "aligned my uterus" - I didn't know that was a thing. Dh's sample was fantastic: 19million post-wash, 94% motility, and 4++ progression. The RE said they cannot possible be going any faster or straighter!!!! I had 5 days off and tried to destress as much as possible. I ate the pineapple core and have been thinking positive thoughts. I'll start POAS on 6/7 or 6/8 just in case its a BFN and I need to prepare. 

    The progesterone is making me super sleepy and super hungry this time around. I literally cannot stop eating. And junk food at that! I'm trying to eat healthy for the potential embryo I have floating around in there and it has been nearly impossible!

    @wintersong555 sorry to hear about AF.

    Good luck to anyone still waiting for their results. :smiley: 

    AFM - I am 15dpiui.  I had my beta done yesterday but results are not in yet. ( I live 8 hrs aways from the RE so use an independent lab) I POAS stick this morning and got a faint line but I'm too scared it was an evap line to get excited.  I've gotten nothing done at work today because I cannot concentrate on anything but my pending results.

  • @pmjb I really hope you get a BFP! I am really hoping some start coming in from the May group. 
  • Fingers crossed for you @pmjb !  

    I am sad to say it but I am 99% sure AF will arrive for me in the next day or two.  I'm spotting and having mild cramps. I took a cheapie yesterday that I tried to convince myself there was a shadow on because I'm crazy.  But it really is stark white.  Ugh!  I'm tired of trying.  I wish I was doing IVF already but need to wait for new insurance.  So much waiting!  

  • I'm sorry @lady_grey. This process is so hard and the waiting is rough. I feel like we're always in waiting mode.

  • Testing at home tomorrow,  getting sick thinking about it.  I wonder if anyone else out there is doing IUI and not hoping to go onto to IVF after it? I don't know that I want to do IVF and seems a lot of people are very sure about this and looking forward to getting past this stage.  I'm only allowed to take one more month of this regimen,  letrozole,  us, hcg, iui if I get a bfn tomorrow.  Feeling super negative about it only because I have no symptoms at all!  Need fx all around.

  • Fx @JESSABER0414 !!! I'm not super excited to go to IVF. I'm actually hoping I don't have to do it. But IVF just has such better odds of success. So I'm giving one round a go if at least one of my three guys didn't hang on this cycle.ll

  • I really was hoping not to do IVF too.  It's just not a bridge I want to cross.  But I think once you're there it's kind of a relief because you have such a good chance of it working with just a couple tries!

    Well I'm out this month :(
    @JESSABER0414 -I'm looking forward to IVF only because I've now had 5 failed IUI's... I've pretty much have given up hope for myself with this process. Unfortunately I still have to do one more before moving to IVF and I feel like it will be a wasted month. IVF just seems to have such better odds.
  • Thanks for the thoughts ladies. I guess I've put it out of my head since I keep being told by my RE that she's not worried and doesn't see a reason we will get there. However, BFN today. So another fail for May. Wth? Hope the MOJO is better for June cuz it's our last chance using this.

  • @pmjb Any news???  Really hoping you're the first May IUI BFP for our group!!

    @JESSABER0414 I don't think anyone here is really looking forward to having to do IVF, but after 3 or more failed IUIs and such few successes witnessed on these boards, a lot of us are just ready to move on to something with better chances for success.  It's not IVF we're looking forward to, it's success we're looking forward to!

    Sorry for those of you who got BFNs and/or AF.  We know how that stings :cry:

  • @JESSABER0414 don't lose hope! @wifeinraleigh28 is right. Not a single person on this board wants to have to go through any of this craziness......  We all just want that BFP and to have a healthy and happy baby. I wish none of us had to go through it but the good news is we are going through it together! Sometimes it's just a numbers game and a lil bit of luck.  You never know what's in store for you and your life but just stay positive and know that one day you will be holding your lil baby in your arms..... Hugs to you!! 
    Me: 35 DOR, low AMH = 0.694, and fibroids
    DH: 41 
    Married 10/25/2014 / TTC since 05/2015
    1st IUI 05/05/16 Letrozole 7.5 mg CD 3-11 + Ovidrel = BFN
    2nd cycle on Letrozole 7.5 mg CD 3-11 + TI = BFN
    3rd cycle on Letrozole but did our 2nd IUI on 07/01/16. 10 mg CD 3-11 + Ovidrel = BFN
    Onto IVF! Started Lupron on 09/24. Added Gonal F and hcg injections 09/26...... Trigger 10/07. EggRetrieval 10/09. Starting PIO, Estrace, and Medrol 10/10/16. Transferred 2 "strong/beautiful" embryos 10/14/16. Beta 10/28/16 = 998 mIU/mL = BFP with one baby, but miscarried at 9w5d.
    D&C on 12/06/17 and started taking BCPs 01/10/17 for the next IVF Cycle, which officially began stims on 02/18/17.
    Fast Forward: we got 4 fertilized embryos from that cycle. Transferred one fresh, but it did not stick, so we have 3 frozen embryos currently. Went in to the fertility clinic in July to talk about a FET of one of those three frozen embryos, but a new fibroid was discovered, and I was not cleared to do the transfer until I had fibroid removal surgery.
    08/11/17 had a mini-laparotomy / myomectomy to remove 6 fibroids, largest sized were the size of golf-balls! Once we were cleared to go about our normal lives (sex!) I got pregnant NATURALLY but it was a chemical pregnancy. The very next month we had another BFP and here we are now with a baby on the way! A TOTAL AND COMPLETE MIRACLE!
