LT TTC with IUI #6

[ladyluck]

Hi nelly, i hope all goes well,iam guessing if your follies are at a good size and u still havent had a surge they will just give u a trigger shot... Good luck..i just read your last post..hope all goes well...fingers crossed....

Welcome LadyLuck,

I go back for another scan tomorrow and hopefully the insemination, I am getting quite excited. However I haven't had a surge yet, but they did say that I might never get one because of my PCOS. so not sure what will happen there.

Hello Epayne, Just wanted to say good luck, and dont stress out. I had the dreams and the fear of the unknown, and all of the what ifs and maybies..The whole process is very easy and iam sure your IVF team will look after you..The injections get easier each time u do one, i am on day 6 and have 7 days of injections and then off for my scan. Just keep yourself busy..Goodluck

Thanks LandyLuck and Nellym, I guess I'm just antious cause I am still waiting for AF to show so I can start the whole process. Hopefully she starts in the next day or two.

Goodluck Nellym with your TWW, my fingers are crossed for you to have a BFP and you won't have to worry about doing IVF.

Hi girls, it's been a couple of weeks since my last post. I finally got AF and had my visit with FS today. We've decided to skip the IUI and go straight to IVF. Initially I was disappointed because we really wanted to avoid IVF if possible. The FS has said due to my age and the extent of my endo that was removed I would have a much higher chance with IVF. So here's hoping, wishing and praying for all of you that you have much success with IUI and that it's sooner rather than later. xoxo

Hi Ladies,

Just updating you, I went and had the 21 day blood test yesterday to check and see if I ovulated and sure enough my results were great so that is a good sign. Now just have to wait it out until Thursday next week to see if this IUI process was successful.

The hardest part is, that while I know it is unlikely I find myself analysing every little twinge and niggle that my body feels. Over the weekend I felt slightly crampy on my right side (kind of like mild AF pains) and thought to myself "oooh I wonder if this is implantation pain?" but then I had to remind myself that it was unlikely. Then this afternoon (around 5.30pm) I felt a bit seedy for about 30min and thought "oooh I wonder if this is morning sickness?". Again, trying not to get my hopes up I convinced myself that it is unlikely so I don't get my hopes up.

I just have to last until Thursday next week...

I hope you are all doing well, keep us posted. I know I love too read about other people's stories.

Bluebird, big hugs to you hun, no-one wants to think about having to go through IVF, best of luck with it all,

Nellym, that is exciting that you o'd, now just the painful wait until next week, hopefully it goes quick for you.

Well, I'm on day 2 of my injections. DH has been good both times being very gentle doing them for me. I am having 37.5iu daily until I go and see the FS again next Tues for an U/S and see if that dosage is enough. FX'd that is is...

[nellym]

ok, that is it. I am turning my computer off until next Thursday. My obsession with researching early pregnancy signs and analysing my body is getting ridiculous.

Goodluck everyone, I will let you know next week how I go.

T-hopes - Good luck with your TWW. Did the FS say that both your follicles would be released?? Im curious as when I went for my scan I only had one that was 'size' but my FS has never discussed the option of producing more than 1 follicle. What meds are you on? Im on clomid, trigger shot, pregnyl. (want to make sure im not missing out on anything LOL)

AFM - Yes I still did get IUI with the low count. Our FS didnt really give us an option not to and if I hadnt asked questions and then researched my DH's count then we wouldnt have known it was so low..so who knows!! I suppose he is just trying to give us hope. Positive is they got the timing perfect as an hour after the IUI I ovulated with shocking pains (had to lie down with hot packs) and we also DTD that night and the next morning with the theory of flooding the egg LOL So although I know my chances are slim Im thinking positive as after all, you only need one

Good luck to everyone else. Look forward to hearing some good news.

nellym - So sorry to about your BFN. I know how upsetting it is *big hugs*. I know if I was in your shoes Id be finding an excuse from the baby shower and curling up with a good movie, chocolate and wine

AFM - Today we had our first IUI and bad news...DH sperm count only 0.2million and Didnt find out the motility. So very sad/depressed and have been on the brink of tears since. Trying not to be down in front of DH as I dont want to make him feel bad about it. We did know DH sperm were abit off as he has had varicoeales and had 2 ops on them and we have had good and bad results in previous sperm tests. So Im thinking this month is out :*( I looked at a website and it said I have 0.5% chance of conceiving. Top things off Ive got really bad ovulation cramps and I just keep thinking that its all for nothing..
Sorry for the negative post.
Anyhow FS said we will give IUI one more go and then its on to IVF....

oh nellym - im so sorry to hear of the bfn really feeling for you... thanks for the feedback re DH sperm... Its amazing that so many can still miss that egg!!! I hope AF arrives on time for you and doesnt drag this out so you can move on to a new fresh cycle. good luck with it love xx oh and PS - no way i would be going to the baby shower... i have used every excuse under the sun! Im sure they know that I just dont wanna go and im past the point of caring to be honest! do whats best for you - its ok to be a little selfish some times!

albi - oh love, sorry to hear you didnt get the result you were hoping for... did they still do the iui with that result or do you mean your trying naturally this cycle? would you consider ivf if his count is that low? better odds for you?!

AFM - all good here... im 6dpIUI today... got really sore boobs but im also on progesterone so thats probably making them huge and sore! But praying its a little embie snugging in! Time will tell i guess!!! xx
