That is reassuring. I do trust my doctor, so I decided I shouldn't start doubting her now.</p> <p>@MrsTal: that is good! If you have a chance, you can write about your HSG experience here: <a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-hsg-experience" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-hsg-experience</a></p> <p>@bluestriped bee: yes to crossed fingers that this is your last IUI!

Finally able to start our 3rd (complete? *fingers crossed*) and last IUI! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-19/page/5#post-1350658 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 16:33:14 +0000 MrsTal 1350658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good news!!! I didn't want to start a new thread so I thought I'd share here, my HSG was today and my tubes were nice and clear!! So excited!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-19/page/5#post-1350479 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 15:37:20 +0000 Shutterbug 1350479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: I meant to reply to your wall post about the timing thing... I think if anything you helped your chances by ovulating later than your IUI! They say that sperm do better when they're ready to go, waiting in the tubes for the egg(s), rather than the other way around. (hence Mrs. Someone's spiffy timing chart that shows O-2 is the optimal time to BD) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-19/page/5#post-1350402 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 15:17:44 +0000 Happygal 1350402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrswin: my RE doesn't seem to schedule initial betas--I guess they start (at least with IUIs) if you get a BFP at home. I'll test 14 dpo, and I'm 11 now. The TWW was killer right in the beginning b/c I kept going over my timing/stats--when did I trigger, how much longer after that was my IUI, when did I likely ovulate. . . I finally let it all go b/c there's nothing else that can be done! </p> <p>@sprite: that's interesting--I haven't come across combining both oral and injectable medicine yet. For my first cycle injectables cycle, they were pretty conservative and the checks were much more frequent for the reasons you listed. Last cycle they were ramped up the dosage, but it still seems like I only ovulated once. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-19/page/5#post-1350224 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 14:41:36 +0000 Sprite 1350224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bhbee: sorry it was painful, but happy TWW!</p> <p>@Happygal: thanks for asking, my ultrasound was fine, no cysts or anything out of the ordinary. I wasn't sure what they might find, since my body geared up to O twice last cycle, but never did. </p> <p>@mrswin: They're combining Femara and Gonal-f because in the past I have responded to Clomid, but since I already did 5 cycles on it, they wanted me to try Femara instead, combined with the Gonal-f, since if Clomid wasn't doing it, Femara alone wouldn't either. I'm doing Femara CD3-7, then Gonal-f CD7-9, and the rest TBD based on how my CD10 ultrasound goes, either a few more days of gonal-f, possibly adding in Ganirelix, and another ultrasound, or they might have me trigger. I think it's a bit more of a reserved approach than going straight to Gonal-f on CD3 like some REs do, since I wasn't with my RE for my Clomid cycles (and they were mostly unmonitored except 21 day progesterone). She doesn't want me to hyper ovulate by ramping up to fast with the Gonal-f. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-19/page/4#post-1348826 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 10:06:19 +0000 mrswin 1348826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: How is the TWW treating you? When is your beta? Are you going to test before? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-19/page/4#post-1348817 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 10:03:17 +0000 mrswin 1348817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bhbee: I hope you aren't coming down with anything :sad: Crazy how late they schedule your beta for!</p> <p>@Sprite: How was your baseline? Can you tell me why they are combining Femera and Gonal-F? We may move to injectables soon so I am interested in the protocols. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-19/page/4#post-1348527 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 08:43:22 +0000 Happygal 1348527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sprite: how was your ultrasound the other day?</p> <p>@TheSwissWifeStyle: good luck with your appointment tomorrow! Let us know how it goes.</p> <p>@mrs.polish: Are you guys considering doing medicated cycles in the future? I was just wondering if you had a timeline for adopting and/or TTC again.</p> <p>@mrs bunchy: where are you in your cycle now? Did Clomid do the trick?</p> <p>Any other updates? As for me, I'm just hanging tight in the lovely TWW. . . </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-19/page/4#post-1348403 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 07:33:06 +0000 SweetiePie 1348403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bhbee: Happy TWW! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-19/page/4#post-1348368 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 07:12:33 +0000 Happygal 1348368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs bunchy: are you doing just clomid, or is it combined with IUI/trigger this time?</p> <p>@bhbee: I really hope you're not getting a stomach bug! Are you feeling better today? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-19/page/4#post-1345916 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 12:27:42 +0000 bhbee 1345916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: they do trigger 36 hours before iui. I think they used to do back to back but decided it didn't improve odds so they only do one now. </p> <p>I also think I am getting a stomach bug - hope it doesn't tank my chances! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-19/page/4#post-1345897 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 12:24:31 +0000 Happygal 1345897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bhbee: ouch--so sorry it hurt! But welcome to the TWW! How does your doctor try to time the IUI? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-19/page/4#post-1345355 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 10:40:43 +0000 bhbee 1345355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My iui is done! Counts were good for DH. It was way more painful this time, don't know if having a different np do it made a difference. I also secretly think I ovulated last night and so maybe my cervix was more closed by this morning. I know trigger is supposed to be exact timing but I thought I might have been starting to surge before I did it. Regardless timing should be ok since we also dtd after trigger. </p> <p>They scheduled my beta for the 31st which seems crazy ... Hoping I will have a reason to call and beg to move it earlier! :happy: bring it on tww! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-19/page/4#post-1344304 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 21:58:04 +0000 bhbee 1344304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: I don't know that I'd call it totally safe, but it's less likely to be trigger. I tested it out last cycle and had a true bfn by 11dpo. But it varies by person and even specific cycle I'm sure. I think 14dpo is supposed to be safe? I'd read some places 10dpo but I was still getting shadows on that day. </p> <p>I guess I think especially given a history of chemicals I will never believe it until I see a darkening line anyway ... So might as well start somewhere. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-19/page/4#post-1344263 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 21:45:09 +0000 Happygal 1344263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: I'm so sorry. There's always an extra burst of hope before going to see the doctor. </p> <p>@bhbee: is it safe to test at 12 dpo if you've triggered? My RE didn't give me a date. </p> <p>@Sprite: That sounds like a good plan with lots going on! I'm glad you're feeling better this cycle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-19/page/4#post-1344196 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 21:20:43 +0000 LovelyPlum 1344196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sprite: yay, good luck!</p> <p>@mrswin: I hope that it goes quickly and ends well! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-19/page/4#post-1343665 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 19:08:47 +0000 FaithFertility 1343665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sprite: I hope all goes smooth and well for you...I took Gonal F before.....very easy and my IUIs are painless and quick...even though I get all worried as if its going to hurt but ive had the procedure done 4 times now 2 b/b IUIs soooo I think I would be ok by now.....lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-19/page/4#post-1343660 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 19:05:15 +0000 FaithFertility 1343660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrswin: Awwww yay! I hope the TWW is quick for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-19/page/4#post-1343515 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 18:10:13 +0000 Sprite 1343515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Shutterbug: hope your retrieval this morning went well </p> <p>@mrswin: glad to hear your IUI went smoothly, and hope your TWW goes by quickly</p> <p>@TheSwissWifeStyle: I am hopeful that this is progress for you, and your doctor has positive news for you on Thursday.</p> <p>@LindsayInNY: I'm sorry to hear your waiting on AF. I really hope your consult with your doctor brings you some answers, or at least a plan of action.</p> <p>I'm on CD2 of my first IUI + injectables cycle, and have my baseline ultrasound appointment tomorrow morning. Hopefully if all looks good, I'll be starting femara tomorrow night, gonal-f Saturday and have a follow up ultrasound next Tuesday. I hardly slept at all the past two nights, with my mind spinning and feeling overwhelmed with what's to come this cycle. But for once I'm not depressed during AF, since at least I'm feeling hopeful that these interventions might give me a better chance this cycle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-19/page/4#post-1343189 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 16:40:14 +0000 bhbee 1343189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrswin: yay for a good IUI and already in the TWW!</p> <p>I always cave and test early. with trigger I can probably hold out until 12dpo, but no further. my RE doesn't schedule betas until 16dpo . . . I'm hoping if I ever get a BFP they will move it up! for a BFN that's fine as I'd rather get AF and not go in at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-19/page/4#post-1342889 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 15:43:44 +0000 LindsayInNY 1342889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: Nothing. Last took progesterone Saturday night, BFN on Sunday. So now I'm just waiting for AF to arrive. I have a consult scheduled with my doctor for next month. DH had something come up at work so I just called to reschedule and ended up having it moved a week earlier. That freaks me out now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-19/page/4#post-1342311 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 13:53:16 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 1342311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: better-ish for now! Just looking forward to see what my doctor has to say on Thursday. If he seems optimistic, that will def. help! </p>
