@AmeliaBedilia: we are lucky and have DD. because of high dose injectables, this cycle has already cost us thousands, and we have decided not to do IVF. I have really low AMH and initially our RE suggested a donor egg. Because we have DD, we wanted to give this IUI a shot, and then, if it doesn't work, be happy with being a one child family.

@BlueWolverine: Sending prayers this works for you. This is for baby#1. Our tentative plan is 3 IUIs, then IVF if needed.
We have a monitoring ultrasound tomorrow and I'm really nervous. I'm nervous about the ultrasound results, a few questions I have for RE, plus we need to meet with the financial coordinator. Our RE has an option for the entire cycle excluding meds for $800, which was our plan. Last appointment, DH paid the $220 monitoring visit instead, but the insurance only allowed $168, which went to our deductible. There is also some question of how many IUIs to pay for at once. They offer a buy 2, get the third free (except meds), but I'm not sure if you have to pay for them both up front and make that decision early. Mainly, I want to make sure we don't pay more than $800/1 cycle, 1600/3 cycles, and get as much to go towards my deductible as possible.

@AmeliaBedilia: That's awesome that insurance covers something. Ours was entirely out of pocket. At my first monitoring appointment, I only had one follicle at 4 mm, but my doc upped my meds and I had two follicles at 20 and 19 by the time we triggered after 12 days of meds. So don't be nervous if it's not what you wanted at your first appointment.

IUI done. Post wash count was 85 million! Last morphology was 5%, but RE said that even if morphology is low, that the number makes up for it. Now we wait.
-
@AmeliaBedilia: Fingers crossed for you! How are you feeling? My husband also has a little morphology issue, but my RE also said the count and motility can make morphology a non-issue. Phew. Good luck to you. This is exciting! Are you taking the day off of work?

@agold: I work a four day work week, and usually have Friday's off. This IUI worked out great for my work schedule. I'm feeling fine but a little bit of cramping.

Just bumping!
So what's up? Joining Hb after lurking for a while...need some support! I'll be doing FSH (final f) injections daily and trigger with ovidrel.
Where are you in your IUI cycle? Finishing 2 weeks of BCP tomorrow because of vacation timing. So CD 1 tomorrow with Monitoring on 9/1.
How many IUIs will this be? #6 (last one before IVF)
Diagnosis? The dreaded "unexplained"
Medications? Gonal f ...and wine
Other info? Just looking forward to the support that this forum shares!Any one else starting an IUI cycle it currently in one?

@Mrs. Pinky: I have my second IUI tomorrow for a femara/ovidrel cycle. My ultrasound showed a 20mm and 22mm follicle. I trigger when I get home from work and IUI tomorrow morning. Last one was great all around until AF came.
-
@Mrs. Pinky: Good luck with your IUI. I hope this is it for you!
-
@agold: thank you!
-
@AmeliaBedilia: good luck!! I hope this is it for you!! Those are wonderful sized follies!
-
I start gonal f tonight (112.5) every night until the follies look good with monitoring every two days (which is painful...only one good being in my right arm). I had 8 and 6 resting follicles this morning
Trying to stay positive this cycle! -
Just popping into wish you IUI ladies lots of love and luck.
@Mrs. Pinky: Grow follies, grow!
@AmeliaBedilia: Yay for beautiful and perfect follies! Hope they both turn into a bangin' BFP for you!
-
IUI#2 is done. Spermcount post wash was 51 million. Not as good as last time, but still plenty. I start prednisone Friday, ovidrel booster Sunday, progesterone in one week. My beta is 9/18. I hope the time flies by!
