Hi and welcome bella55! I hope your stay here is a short one I haven't done injections so can't really comment on them, but I can say that my DH hasn't found the whole IUI experience too bad. We live 15 mins drive from our clinic though, so he does his bit a home and then I drop it in and then muck around for a while before going back for the IUI. I have also done the Ovidrel injection and pessaries the last couple of cycles. The injection was not too bad - I did it myself because I'm diabetic and used to injecting myself anyway, and it didn't really hurt much at all. Just make sure you inject it slowly and take it out of the fridge for a bit before you use it. The pessaries are OK too, just a bit messy - just make sure you lie down for a bit after you put one in and also wear a liner! Good luck with it all
DLT - I hope things are going well for you Fingers crossed for your IUI next week!
AFM, well my IUI that was scheduled for today has been cancelled I started tracking on Mon and my prog levels were already highish. They don't really know what happened I don't think because my E2 levels were quite high, but either I Oed on Monday and we missed seeing the surge because it happened the day before we started tracking, or the cyst on my ovary is breaking down and releasing progesterone, in which case this cycle is shot to pieces. So maybe we are in with a chance because we BDed at the right time fortunately, or maybe we have no chance - who knows? In any case its looking very likely we will be starting IVF in a couple of weeks when AF arrives, we see the FS next week to start things happening. I can't see the point in doing anymore IUI after this month's disaster, may as well just get the IVF thing happening now.
I'll probably lurk in here for a while and check your progress but I'm pretty sure my IUI days are over now. Good luck you two!
