Trying to Conceive with IUI #2

[Kaydee78]

So sorry Fi It takes it's toll on your body - particularly emotionally. Enjoy your few months off. Hope FS appt tomorrow goes well.

Hi Ladies,

Fi sorry to hear your news. As frustrating as it is for the first few days that you can't continue this month, by the end of the first week it is such a relief to have a break and how exciting to be going overseas.

Kaydee good luck for tomorrow, that you can start again. My clinic also does the scan before starting the drugs to check that there arent any left over folicles, that was when they found that I have a cyst. I wish that I could go back and have another scan to see if it has reduced in size because at this stage they are unable to tell me how long I have to wait for it to go away.

Hi girls...

How are you swirl? Hope the TWW is being kind to you and not doing your head in too much!

Amy have they given you a date to return for another u/s or do you need to wait for day 1 of next cycle? I spoke today to the nurse who did my u/s. I was concerned the follies left over from last cycle hadn't gone and had turned into cysts (things you think about when you have no idea what's going on inside your body!!) She said that sometimes even though there may be a cyst, there may be no need to worry about it if it is not an estrogen producing cyst. She said it would be highly unlikely they could not go ahead with treatment today, even if they found something, because I'd had the month off. Hope you're doing ok with your time off.

Fi, hope your FS has given you a new plan of action for when you return from o/s.

Cherie Hope you are well and your TWW is flying by.

My appt went ahead this morning without any hiccups! U/s showed everything was clear and ready to go again. Picked up meds and I'm back on Sat for the start of the BTs.

Had a win today... boom gates were up at the hospital car park and I didn't have to pay for parking.Woo hoo!! Sounds crazy to get excited about parking but at $6 each time you have to go into the clinic, it quickly adds up each month. I get frustrated paying to park for a 2 minute BT!

Hi Ladies,

Kaydee that is excellent news that you are ready to start again. And I am glad to hear about the month off, that they will let me start again soon.

How is everyone else going??

Hi all,

I'm well. First week of 2WW down. Had early prog bt on Saturday because of slightly low levels last cycle. Prog was again slightly low so am now taking progesterone pessary each night when I go to bed. Rpt progesterone today was about 70 and much higher than usual for me 7DPO so am hoping this might help my chances overall.

FiFi: sorry to hear this cycle didn't work out for you

Belinda: congrats on the BFP, you must be over the moon

Kaydee: Glad to hear you're ready to go on your next cycle - GL

Cherie: hope the 2WW is treating you well.

Now its just waiting to me. I'll probably do a HPT on 2 or 3 June, then BT on 5 June if AF hasn't arrived.

Just popping in to say hi. Hope everyone is going well.

2 injections down...

[swirl]

Hi all,

Good luck with the injections Kaydee.

I think there's only Cherie and I left in the 2ww.

My bt not due til June 5 (16dpo). I've just reaslised I have an appt with the FS on 2 June ( I thought I had made it for 9 June). I wanted to make sure I had an appt in case of BFN. Although I am keen to do a 3rd and final IUI cycle, I want to start planning in case that's a BFN as well. I have never had a laparoscopy (although HSG was completely normal) so the FS appt is to arrange a laparoscopy for straight after my 3rd IUI cycle (assuming its a BFN) so I can start IVF after that. I'm also moving between 3rd IUI cycle and IVF, so will need to change doctors and clinics, so there will be a break of probably a couple of months anyway. Would prefer for my exisiting FS to do the laparoscopy before I leave town.

I think I'll do a HPT on morning of June 2 and if that's neg will assume the cycle failed and keep my appt. If it's positive will probably still go but will hopefully not need laparoscopy!!!!

I have been feeling quite different this cycle but think its because of the extra prog pessaries and higher prog levels. Trying not to think about it too much but it's hard. Have the whole weekend to get thru before testing on Monday.
