That's pretty quick! Let's get you moving into IUI #2, which I hope is the one for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vent-waiting-to-start-iui#post-674382 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 15:48:46 +0000 marionberry 674382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsmate: I love cheese! But really, that was the positive for me when AF came, that I'd just get to start right over again with an ultrasound a few days later. It at least makes you feel like you're not waiting forever to try again. Best of luck on #2! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vent-waiting-to-start-iui#post-674293 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 15:25:14 +0000 mrsmate 674293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ineebee: So AF is officially here :( BUT the upside is today was only CD27. I already have a baseline u/s scheduled for Saturday to start IUI#2. By comparison my last cycle was 35 days long. I almost feel relieved bc I'm no longer in TWW and I can move on. </p> <p>I am commiserating by eating a block of cheese. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vent-waiting-to-start-iui#post-674195 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 14:47:07 +0000 ineebee 674195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsmate: Boo to AF! Stay away! Did your RE have you on progesterone suppositories or anything like that?</p> <p>For my last cycle, something that made the impending AF a little easier to take was planning a really special date night - with plenty of cocktails and wine! - with DH. Definitely not as great as a BFP, but it's still something "positive" so that either way you'll have a smile on your face! </p> <p>But I'm still crossing my fingers for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vent-waiting-to-start-iui#post-673516 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 12:04:43 +0000 tequiero21 673516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsmate: awww sorry to hear! There's still hope! Crossing fingers for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vent-waiting-to-start-iui#post-673261 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 10:58:33 +0000 mrsmate 673261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tequiero21: Thanks! It's not looking good for me tho. I've been spotting for the past two days, and today it's even heavier, though not quite AF. I had some cheapo HPTs that were going to expire so I tested CD24-26 (9-11dpi) and they were all BFNs, which I know is early but I didn't see ANYTHING, not even the faintest hint of a line. I know there's a miniscule chance it's implantation bleeding bc it's only CD27 but in my mind I'm already planning for IUI#2 next month. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vent-waiting-to-start-iui#post-672250 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 06:37:53 +0000 tequiero21 672250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ineebee: @mrsmate: good luck ladies! Hope u have good news! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vent-waiting-to-start-iui#post-653657 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 07:04:06 +0000 mrsmate 653657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ineebee: thx for checking in! I'm in tww now. We did the iui on Saturday (cd15) so today is 4dpi. I had 2 mature follicles with several more not quite 15mm, and DD's count was 40million. Good luck! Hope we both get lucky! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vent-waiting-to-start-iui#post-652693 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 17:22:54 +0000 ineebee 652693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsmate: How is this cycle going for you? I went in for monitoring CD12, CD15 and CD18, and then finally had my IUI this morning (CD19). I had one mature follicle at 19.1mm. Just one! I hope it's enough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vent-waiting-to-start-iui#post-627382 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 20:31:47 +0000 mrsmate 627382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ineebee: oh crap, I forgot all about that. I am in the us. Thx for the reminder!</p> <p>And thx to everyone for the good wishes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vent-waiting-to-start-iui#post-627195 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 18:27:40 +0000 ineebee 627195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsmate: Yay!! Good luck waking up tomorrow morning. I hate to say it, but don't forget about Daylight Saving (if you're in the US)! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vent-waiting-to-start-iui#post-625338 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 17:33:13 +0000 KT326 625338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsmate: That's great!

Good luck on your upcoming IUI! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vent-waiting-to-start-iui#post-625118 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 16:26:57 +0000 sweetooth 625118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsmate: glad to hear that you're responding to the meds! The monitoring is tough, but it's great to have so much information about what's going on. It's all about timing! Good luck! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vent-waiting-to-start-iui#post-624892 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 15:12:44 +0000 2PeasinaPod 624892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hoping things go well!

So exciting! Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vent-waiting-to-start-iui#post-624518 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 13:49:59 +0000 mrsmate 624518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Had my day 7 bloodwork and u/s today. I have one mature follicle on my right side with "many more following," "many more following" also on the left. My medication is being downgraded. Estrogen at 156. Need to go back for more testing on Sunday :( at 8:30 am :( (but could have been even earlier). It's working! It's working! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vent-waiting-to-start-iui#post-616240 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 22:50:19 +0000 ineebee 616240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Mate: I've read 85% success with multiple IUIs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vent-waiting-to-start-iui#post-616100 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 21:51:33 +0000 marionberry 616100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsmate: They say they usually work by the third, so that's great.</p> <p>@ineebee: That's the same protocol I was on pretty much. I really hope it works out for you on the first try too! And yes, it totally sucked for DH more than me. He hated having to give his sample on a specific day at a specific time and it's certainly not your typical baby making experience. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vent-waiting-to-start-iui#post-616085 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 21:44:53 +0000 mrsmate 616085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ineebee: oh yeah, I guess clomid wouldn't need as frequent monitoring. We need to come by 7:30 bc u/s is reserved for IF patients, and I guess the nurses need the results back early enough to call all their patients by the end of the day.</p> <p>@marionberry: we are approved for 3 cycles, but depending on how this goes we may go straight to ivf if this cycle fails.</p> <p>@tequiero21: thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vent-waiting-to-start-iui#post-616001 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 21:13:09 +0000 tequiero21 616001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good luck w the iui!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vent-waiting-to-start-iui#post-615689 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 19:45:27 +0000 ineebee 615689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Mate: That's quite often!! I wonder why they want you to come by 7:30 at the latest? </p> <p>Maybe it's the difference between your injectibles and the Clomid I'm taking, but I only have to go in on CD12 and then depending on how my follicles are doing, maybe once more in a couple days. After getting the green light for the trigger shot, then I'll come in a third time for the IUI.</p> <p>@Marionberry: I PRAY that it happens for us on the first try like it was for you! The early morning appointments and poor DH feeling like a sperm machine are no fun. It really does take the fun out of baby-making. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vent-waiting-to-start-iui#post-615192 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 16:59:31 +0000 marionberry 615192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsmate: Ya we got pregnant on our first one, so we were really lucky. How many are you planning? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vent-waiting-to-start-iui#post-614320 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 13:53:11 +0000 mrsmate 614320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ineebee: This fri (cd7). After that I was told I'd need to come every day or every other day. By 7:30am at the latest. Should be interesting w a 2yo! How often do you go in for monitoring?</p> <p>@marionberry: AF came! I'm so glad it worked for you. I was having second thoughts about not going straight to ivf so it's nice to hear from people who had iui success. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vent-waiting-to-start-iui#post-614261 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 13:32:24 +0000 ineebee 614261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Mate: What a relief! I'm glad the ball is rolling and that you're on your way! It can be so frustrating just waiting around, can't it? And I'm glad that the injectibles are working well! </p> <p>My next u/s is scheduled for March 12 (CD12). How about yours? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vent-waiting-to-start-iui#post-614175 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 12:59:13 +0000 marionberry 614175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sorry but I'm sure it's just around the corner. Good luck on your iui! That's what worked for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vent-waiting-to-start-iui#post-614158 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 12:53:12 +0000 mrsmate 614158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ineebee: I finally got my period on what would have been cycle day 36. I started gonal f last night on day 3. Mine is in a pen. I was a little freaked out but I didn't even feel it going in. This is my 1st iui, we should be getting inseminated around the same time if all goes well. Good luck! Keep me posted! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vent-waiting-to-start-iui#post-611693 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 14:37:58 +0000 ineebee 611693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Mate: Any word yet?</p> <p>Is this your first IUI? If so, we're in the same boat! This will be my first IUI (probably somewhere between March 13-16), so good luck to the both of us! </p>
