Hi IUI buddies!

How's everybody doin'? So sorry I haven't been around lately. I've been busy with work. And had to evacuate our place due to Hurricane Rita. Just got back last night. Last Wed., I had my HSG and everything's normal. So I am hoping to do another DIUI on Oct. 1st. that is if I get my LH surge when I think I would get it. Wish me luck!!!

I also wrote this on the Oct. thread, but I'll ask y'all again, have you ever heard about having "oil" injected after HSG. My RE says he had pts who got +ve results after this. I'm still trying to look for articles about it though.

Hi Left..., welcome aboard. How's your 2ww goin' so far?

Smita, hello,...how r you and your baby doin'? hope all's well.

Nicki, miss ya girl!

Good luck to all!

Not sure about injecting oil after, but I think the HCG shot is suspended in oil? I know that if you have a peanut allergy, you need to tell them.

HELLOOOOOOOOOO!!!! it's awfully quiet here! Where is everybody??? Where are all my IUI buddies?

Just want you all to know I had my DIUI done yesterday and my test date is on the 14th. I'm officially on my 2ww.

Denise, How are you? About the oil, after they had injected me with the dye for the HSG, they then injected some kind of oil inside my uterus. I'm going to email my RE & ask him again about it. Hopefully he'll respond to me.

Leftfldr, how's your 2ww going? Hope you doing fine.

Take care!

Hello Nicki! Welcome back girl! . I had my LH surge on the 29th, and so I had my DIUI on the 30th. We didn't use any meds either with this cycle as much as I wanted to. My RE felt we should try it again without meds.
I'm do glad your back & have plans for Nov.

Hi Smita, Hope your water level improves. Take care!

Finally Starting IUI

Post by Babysoft »

Hello Everyone,

I have been posting on this site here and there for the past couples of months. I haven't had much good news, so I have been doing a lot of reading and not much posting.

Anyway I finally have something to look forward to, my dh and I will be starting our 1st (really second, but the 1st doesn't count for in my opinion) IUI this month! I am really excited :lol: We have been trying to concieve for severals years now and we finally found a doctor they could give us some explainations as to our infertility problems.

Well can anyway give me some information on IUI, like what I should expect, how soon can I test after the IUI and does it hurt?

Thanks...and BEST OF LUCK TO ALL OF YOU.

Hi baby soft!

Yes, i have seen some of ur posts else where on the site. How come this is your 1st but really ur 2nd IUI (I'm confused)

when is your AF? what day are you on now???

With me, it was natural cycle.

Scan on day 10, and 12, watch the follys grow then on day12 start testing for LH then when you get + go in for the insemination. then wait 2 weeks and then test.

My 2nd IUI was different as ov. on day 12, really early.

It doesn't hurt. at all.

Test 2 weeks after the day you have the IUI.

Good Luck x x

1ST/2ND IUI

Post by Babysoft »

Hey Nicki...thanks for the reply.

Well as you've probably read before, my 1st official IUI was back in July, but at that point I was seeing a quack doctor, who couldn't have possibly done an IUI (my cervix was completely closed), but he attempted anyway and apparently caused a tear which scarred my cervix shut completely. So when I finally decided to go to another doctor, a real RE, he told me about my cervix being closed and that it would have been nearly impossible for me to have had an IUI done in July. So that is why I said it is my first time.

Well my AF is due 10/7 and I will go in for blood testing and meds on 10/10. On 10/17 I go in for ultrasound and if all is well I get my injection then next day IUI. That is the way my doctor explained it...I may be leaving out a few details...I have to be because he said something about testing my second urine. I guess I was just too excited and don't remember, but I will know everything on my next visit 10/10. I'm just a little scared because I just recently found out my DH has a low morphology rate. Has anyone had this problem? My doctor has suggested a test call SCSA...it test the DNA of sperm...anyone have experience with this. Well anyway I'm just hoping this works, I'm kind of at wits end with my infertility. To make matters a lot worse for my ego...my brother in law and his girlfriend just had their 3rd child yesterday. After my husband received the news, he looked so despressed, I felt like melting away. I don't want to be envious, but it's kind of hard not to when everyone around me seems to be getting pregnant by chance and I am having to go through all of this and I'm still not pregnant. :cry:

Just having a bad day I guess...I sent flowers to the room and said a prayer for myself, so hopefully GOD will bless me with my own special gift of life.

Hi everyone!

Holly, How's your BP now? Hope it is better. Glad to hear you're going to have another IUI by the end of the month.

Hey Nicki, I'm really really glad you're back! Yeah, I guess going natural is not bad at all,... it is less expensive and safer too. My RE was hopeful that we could get pregnant without meds so we'll see.....

Welcome aboard Babysoft!
I know what you mean about everyone getting pregnant except you. It really HURTS a LOT! Let's hang in there. Let's all be hopeful our time will come too.


Catch y'all later!

Hey guys.

Sorry, I guess I've been missing this thread... who knows where my head goes.

I'm starting tmt at the beginning of next AF, so Nicki, we'll be cycling together. I thought you were waiting? I'm glad we'll be together again. Third times a charm.

I've been eating better, exercising daily, taking my vits, no more social drinking or smoking, so I've never felt healthier.

DH is working overtime til Christmas, so I think we'll put our vacation off til January. Still a nice time to go.

Anyways, I hope you all are well, I'm excited that there will be a group of us cycling together. Does someone want to start a list on our thread of where everyone is at?
