@JaeJayStark and @dmo1371 Thanks! Yeah, I'm also dubious about the practicality of doing the IUI tomorrow but I asked and was told my RE thinks it will be fine. Because DH has MFI, I don't think TI would work anyway (mostly it would have been just something to do) and DH managed to sort his schedule out so we go in at 7:15 tomorrow morning. I wish I could jump him tonight for some pre-IUI TI. It's so weird I O'd so early. I've always had to trigger in my last four IUIs. Definitely unexpected. I did come in for my baseline and started letrozole on CD 4, but I've done that in the past with no problem. Oh well. I'm not going to hold out much hope for this cycle, and I'll go in on CD 3 for our last IUI in June.
@JaeJayStark Those are fantastic numbers! Good luck with your IUI tomorrow!!!
So sorry to hear that @megmac2010 ! I will go to IVF if this cycle doesn't work so we'd be in it together.

Hey girls! Now I can join this thread too I started clomid yesterday on CD4. I'm so glad I didn't have any cyst. But, the nurse said I have 11 small follicles which I never seen on the previous baseline ultrasounds. Now, I'm afraid I will over stimulate have too many follicles and they will cancel this cycle
@Ilky Yay!! So glad to have you back! Think positive thoughts...maybe the follicles before were so small that they were hard to pick up

@JaeJayStark@kristimh80 lol you girls are funny! Well I'm scheduled to go on CD12 for an ultrasound. If the follies are ready then I'll get the trigger shot. Last cycle I got triggered on CD14, so we'll see.
@JaeJayStark can you also predict whether this is the cycle that I finally get my BFP?????? jk.
@Ilky I'm so glad you were able to start your medicated cycle! IIRC, 11 small follies at the start of a cycle is fairly normal, but definitely ask if you're concerned. :-) I'll join in the guessing game and say you'll get 3 mature. Yay!
@JaeJayStark Hooray for fantastic numbers! FX for success!
AFM IUI #5 is complete, although I still think the timing was poor. Oh well. DH had good numbers for him and the doctor was pleased (59 million total, 7.7 million total motile). I'm glad his months of clomid are yielding improved results. @JaeJayStark normally they just tell me the total motile, but this RE showed me the concentration and percent, which I appreciated. I wonder why some doctors do and some don't. Hmmm.
AFM: Alright so those 82 million motile sperm need to get their act together. Go swimmers go!!!

@JaeJayStark good luck this cycle 82 million is a great number we had 70 million. It only takes one I dont understand with that many why one can't hit the target lol. Hopefully they get their act together and do their job!
I was chatting with @irisheyes81 and she said after the IUI, her clinic has her put her hips up for 10 mins. Mine doesn't do that. Anyone else have to wait or do anything after an IUI?

They tell me to lay for 10 mins and raise the table right under my hip. But I usually stay there 15-20 mins. Ask your doctor the next time. But, I feel like it doesnt really make any difference.
@JaeJayStark. Mine had me lay down with my hips up for 15-20 minutes afterward. She also said no intercourse for 24 hours but that's because we used donor sperm.
Just had my u/s. To put in the exact words of my doctor, you have a big juicy one right there! Haha. I have three follicles. One measuring at 23, one at 20, the other one smaller. She said my lining looks really good and thick. I read online to drink pomegranate juice from CD 1-13 to increase lining. Who knows maybe it made a difference. Definitely feeling more optimistic about this round than the last round. I trigger tonight and IUI is Thursday morning

@JaeJayStark Yes, I usually lay there at least 10 minutes after the procedure. But like @Ilky said, I'm not sure it makes a huge difference since sperm isn't having to travel thru tubes, to get to the eggs.
@J1006 That's great news!! Sounds like a really good & promising cycle for you!

Update: 4th ultrasound still have 4 large follicles hanging in there. They want me to take 1 more shot tonight, then trigger tomorrow morning and IUI Friday. Doing a progesterone check to make sure I'm not trying to ovulate on my own, so may end up doing TI if so. Part of my would like to save $ with TI, but same time I rather IUI knowing things are where they should be!

My doctor also has me lie there for 15 minutes after but she doesn't have me elevate my hips.
15dpiui right now, test day tomorrow. No symptoms except by boobs are feeling fuller. I've always been so anxious to test and for some reason this time I am so nervous! Maybe because I know if it doesn't work then we're going on a two year treatment hiatus while we pay off debt/save for IVF. So much riding on that one littl test

Well, no need for the BETA scheduled on Friday because AF made her appearance known with the usual headache last night and disappointment this morning. Not sure where we will go from here. We're up to 3 years of fertility treatments costing right at $10k out of pocket. One round of IVF would be $9,600 and neither of our insurances cover any form of fertility treatments. Can't wait to get off work tonight and drown my sorrows in a bottle of wine!
@Bababatty No sure, the nurse is going to call either way with the results this afternoon. I think they still want me to take another shot so follicles have another day to grow either way.
@JaeJayStark I hyad a 19, 18, 17 & 16. My previous 12 jumped to a 16 in 2 days, so I have hope It'll be up there by Friday

@dmo1371 Good eye I am an RN! But I work in a cardiac/neuro/surgical step-down unit so this is all foreign territory. I'm re-living my nursing school anatomy/physiology days looking up all these meds and treatments. I had to tell the nurses at the RE clinic to just treat me like a really stupid patient because otherwise they tend to just skim over stuff. I don't want them to assume I know what I'm doing and forget something important! @JaeJayStark My clinic has you sit there for around ten minutes lying flat, but they don't elevate your hips. Torture with a full bladder.
I was doing great with the TWW, but now I have three days off and I'm sitting around stewing. Luckily we have people coming over tonight so I have to clean my house, which will keep me occupied.
@Bababatty. I'm all for these little things that might not make a difference but don't hurt to try. Just be careful that you get pure pomegranate juice not like a cocktail juice that's loaded with sugar. I bought the Pom brand. Only one cup per day. I mixed it in with a smoothie or water.

@JaeJayStark can you also predict whether this is the cycle that I finally get my BFP??????
@JaeJayStark Hooray for fantastic numbers! FX for success!
AFM IUI #5 is complete, although I still think the timing was poor. Oh well. DH had good numbers for him and the doctor was pleased (59 million total, 7.7 million total motile). I'm glad his months of clomid are yielding improved results. @JaeJayStark normally they just tell me the total motile, but this RE showed me the concentration and percent, which I appreciated. I wonder why some doctors do and some don't. Hmmm.
@JaeJayStark - I don't think I got told/shown concentration. They just told me total sperm and total motile sperm I think. FX for you!!
@Bababatty - FX for you!

Just had my u/s. To put in the exact words of my doctor, you have a big juicy one right there! Haha. I have three follicles. One measuring at 23, one at 20, the other one smaller. She said my lining looks really good and thick. I read online to drink pomegranate juice from CD 1-13 to increase lining. Who knows maybe it made a difference. Definitely feeling more optimistic about this round than the last round. I trigger tonight and IUI is Thursday morning

15dpiui right now, test day tomorrow. No symptoms except by boobs are feeling fuller. I've always been so anxious to test and for some reason this time I am so nervous! Maybe because I know if it doesn't work then we're going on a two year treatment hiatus while we pay off debt/save for IVF. So much riding on that one littl test

@JaeJayStark My clinic has you sit there for around ten minutes lying flat, but they don't elevate your hips. Torture with a full bladder.
I was doing great with the TWW, but now I have three days off and I'm sitting around stewing. Luckily we have people coming over tonight so I have to clean my house, which will keep me occupied.
@kristimh80 GL to you! Hopefully this is the lucky cycle with your four follicles!!
