@mben1012 welcome!
@FutureMrsMerati Good luck!!! One more might be all it takes!
After this weird "too thick" lining problem at my day 4 scan, I was expecting to hear back from my RE one way or the other on whether or not to start FSH injections after my blood work came in. I never got a call. I finally got a nurse on the phone the next day, who told me that the doc had ok'd me starting injections. Yay! Frustrated though that somehow I didn't get a phone call to clarify, and no one is sure what's up with my endometrium. I was a bit late starting the injections because of all this.
I had a day 9 scan today and I have three follicles on the way (all between 1.1 and 1.3 cm right now). Lining looks fine, so I'm just going to look forward and stop worrying about the weird day 4 scan!
Back for another scan in a few days and testing for LH surge (I usually surge on my own). Hope all goes smoothly and we can do the IUI early next week!
@wishing-and-hoping !!! so awesome

@scikap Nice to see your update and happy to know that everything is going on smoothly for your next IUI.
@FutureMrsMerati Af also started our yesterday for me, so I guess we'd be on a similar time frame this cycle, I'm still not on Clomid though. I hope we'd have our good news too, soon
@mben1012 Welcome to the group!
@rmartin_ttc Congrats on a smooth IUI. I hope that your TWW won't be harsh and that you and YW will have lots of fun distractions.
@rmartin_ttc Prayers and good vibes for y'all!!!
I guess any HCG above 5 is pregnant but a low number can signal a CP
took a test this AM, it was faint. The one I took yesterday was a digital so can't compare the two.
So basically I'm in agony until results tomorrow. Have been sending up so many prayers...

@mben1012 welcome to the group, sorry you find yourself here
(bumping from my phone, sorry for short update)
AFM...finished clomid last night and I’ll do my Gonal-F injection tomorrow. I’ve never done one before so if you guys have any warnings (like side effects) or experiences please let me know. I’m going to a wedding tomorrow so I don’t know if I should wait until I get home.

This is our first intervention after a natural pregnancy turned non-viable after abnormal HCG rise in October. We had a D&C, but it was our first positive ever so we're really hoping this next IUI will do the trick.
Thanks for letting me join your group!

@Chartlieb Nice follicles' size. GL on your IUI on Monday. It's nice to know that you are holding out to hope and watching out for yourself at the same time. This journey is really hard that we need to be strong and ready for everything.

@FutureMrsMerati - I did the Gonal-F injection Friday. My doctor had us do it IM instead of subcutaneous so I gave it in my arm. I had my husband hold my arm and then I injected. He's afraid of needles so there was no way he was going to inject it for me. The injection burned slightly but wasn't bad. About an hour later I had mild lightheadedness and nausea but it resolved after a few hours. Now today I'm having killer breast pain. But I don't know if it was from the Gonal-F or due to the clomid that I took from CD 3-7 (both of the medications are new to me).
@Chartleib - fx for your IUI tomorrow!
AFM I have my 12 day U/S scheduled for tomorrow morning. I'm nervous and excited at the same time. I've been monitoring for an LH surge just in case at home (my RE doesn't do an earlier scan and I don't want to miss ovulation) and luckily it hasn't happened yet.
Quick question - did any of your REs advised your husband on how long to avoid ejaculation prior to the IUI? I forgot to ask (I'll ask tomorrow at my appointment), but just to be safe I told my husband yesterday to abstain completely.

@linz36 Our RE told us to have sex on day 12, which is 2 days before our IUI.
AFM, I had my day 13 ultrasound this morning, which showed 3 ready follicles, so they administered the Ovidrel and we go for our IUI tomorrow afternoon. FX!

Ok, my computer won't let me tag anyone. Chartleib - fx that this IUI is successful for you!!!
AFM - I had my CD 12 U/S this morning and I have 6 follicles measuring 25, 18, 17, 16, 15 (E2 level was 996). So I'm doing ovidrel tonight and going for IUI tomorrow morning and Wednesday morning.

@linz36 Woah! FX for tomorrow and the next day. This is getting so exciting.
Afm, my next appt is on 3/1. Time is so slow for me.
@linz36, look at those follies! I'm sorry I don't recall from earlier posts, but were you on clomid? Or injectables? Those are super impressive follicles, lady!
@rmartin_ttc good luck on IUI#5! Day 6 is almost half way there! I always keep track of the TWW by stages.... like day 2, ok, I shouldn't be implanting yet, it's just rolling down the tubes and then as it gets closer and closer, is it implanted? What would it feel like?! It's maddening!
I'm so sorry, @wishing-and-hoping about the probable CP. I had a pretty similar experience back in November. Our first beta hcg was 32. As weird as this sounds, the miscarriage was not as hard for me as our first and second failed IUIs. Don't get me wrong, it was a roller coaster and disappointing... but there was something positive that happened to me mentally once my uterus started showing a hint of a response. Ask me again after a few more failed months, but for now, I'm more hopeful. So maybe this CP is a good sign? Thinking of you.

AFM - Our IUI was this morning (I did ovidrel last night at 7pm so it was 16hr post trigger). I was surprised because it was the nurse who did it, the doctor wasn’t even there. But my husbands post wash count was between 5-10million which is better than his semenalysis 3 weeks ago so that’s hopeful. Go back tomorrow for another IUI. We will do a progesterone level between 3/5-3/8 to verify ovulation and then hcg 14 days post IUI. I’m thinking about testing out the trigger shot because I don’t think I can wait a full 14 days lol.
