The IUI girls

[Babysoft]

Nicki,

I already had one scan done on day 3 of my cycle...right before I started meds to make sure my lining was okay with this cycle. My next scan isn't going to happen until I have the surge on the sticks...I found that to be a little odd, because even with my quack doctor I was seeing, he did a scan after clomid and right before my injection to force ovi. I did however call my doctors nurse and she stated there was no need for another scan, they are doing my blood work this morning and as long as my levels are under 10, my ovi is expecting to go smoothly. I'm not sure how much I believe that, but I don't want to be negative so we will see. Right now I'm just hoping the test test result of good!

Baby soft... I guess they are tessting everything with blood tests, i guess maybe they r doing it different. Dont worry. I guess it easy to worry but truely if they r saying thats ok then i guess it's ok as long as when u get that surge on the wee wee stick u go in make sure u have the insemination of sperm put in with in 24 hrs. xx

Have u had the surge yet???

[Babysoft]

I am so SAD !

Nicki,

My IUI cancelled for this month. I went in this morning to have my blood test, LH & FSH (I think) are to high..my LH is at 10.8 and my FSH is at 37.4! My nurse is so sweet, she was so nervous about telling me. I'm trying to be strong about this, but I feel the tears coming as I type this horrible message. I really didn't get a chance to ask her why this is happening or what the causes are, but I made an appointment for tomorrow so she told me to write down all of my questions so she can answer them after my appt. I don't know what I'm going to do now! I don't think this would have been as bad had I not been seeing that quack doctor for so long, now I just feel like my time to slipping away.

Well I will update you again tomorrow, I still haven't told my hubby yet so I need to call him and give him the bad news

[NickiMark]

Oh my god, I never heard of that before, I am feeling sad with you dear x xx

Cancelled due to having too higher LH and FSH??

As far as I know and I am no expert, IUI is only cancelled if there are too many follicles produced. But how would they know unless they scanned and looked?

I have had only 1 follicle each time, and a few other little one, the dominate follicle got to 17mm on the 2nd IUI and got to 16 mm on the 1st IUI.

I did both my cycles natural (no drugs) as i ovulate ok and can get preg, our issue is male factor Dh has no sperm... So we r using a donor.

Anyway, This is how is works for me:

Day 1: Phone clinic say i'm on day 1 they organise an appointment for
Day 9: Scan done using a probe inserted to vagina, shows me on the screen that 1 follicle is 12mm and the lining is at 7mm
Day12: Another Scan, the same, shown that follicle is now 16mm and the lining is 9mm, an increase in the last few days shows that levels r up and LH is predicted by the nurse as being soon. I go home and test the LH by weeing on the stick at 3pm, it's -ive
Day 13: Wee on stick when i wake it's +ive. Call clinic they book in the next day.....
Day 14: Go in at 10am for the insemination
Day 15: 2ww begins....
Day 26: AF comes..... Not Pregnant.
Can i just add that when i look back on this cycle, i worry that IUI was done too late, as LH surge and insemation was over 24hrs apart. Thining I should have gone in on Day 13 in the afternoon.

So my 2nd IUI went like this:

Day1: Call clinic, book scan for
Day 10: (Day 9 was a sunday this time round) Scan shows me that 1 follicle is 17mm and lining is at 9mm, nurse predicts that LH will happen soon, go home and test, it's -ive
Day11:Test for LH at 6:30am is -ive, Test for LH at 11:30 is +ive, I call the clinic and go in at 4pm have the insemination
Day 12: 10am I go back in again for a 2nd insemination, as i want to double my chances,
Day 13: Start 2ww, I was so sure that it would work, as both inseminations were done with in 24 hrs.
Day 26: AF arrives, not pregnant.
Again this time round, when AF is due on 26th.... I plan o do 2 inseminations again....

I hope this helps you.

I am so sorry that ur iui has been cancelled. I was really shocked to read it. Will u go again next month?

Do u still have to pay for this cycle??

I would say that parhaps, unless u have ovulation problems, do it natural
next time.

Good luck, chin up and extra hugs to you....Have u told dh yet? what did he say???

Let me know what they say 2moro x x xx x

Nicki,

Just being able to read you post has made me calm down a little! I called dh and told him, but he is extremely supportive and has become super educated on infertility since my last quack doctor, so when I told him, the first thing he said was "So does that mean your follies are not going to grow to normal size and you will ovulate prematurely"...I almost busted out laughing because all of this is coming from a man who thought Af had to be here to get preggers. I luv him so much...when just brings back the pain of knowing I can't give him the one thing he want. I should have known something was wrong when I was younger. With my daughter (9), it took over 2 1/2 years for me to get preggers and I was only 18, and my boyfriend lived right next door...so there was no excuse for the length of time. I guess I have always had infertility problems...I just hope I haven't waited too long to fix it!

By the way..sorry for being so insensitive..where are you at with your iui?

[NickiMark]

Glad i made u feel better. Baby soft x x

I am waiting now for AF, I am inbetween cycles, when Af comes I will start again... so very soon just 2 weeks to wait!!!!

Let me know what ur Dr says ok x x

[HOLLY SANDERSON]

HI BABY SOFT
SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT THIS IUI NOT GOING AHEAD
I HAVE BEEN THERE AND KNOW HOW FRUSTRATING IT CAN BE!!
GOOD LUCK WITH THE DOCTOR TOMORROW.
NICKI
YOU ARE RIGHT AGAIN!!! BP SORTED OUT
JUST STRESS I THINK!!! BLOOD WORK CAME BACK FINE AND IT WAS 124/76 TODAY MUCH BETTER

MUCH LOVE

[Babysoft]

Well I just left my doctor's office and he really couldn't tell me much of anything. They really don't know exactly why Fsh levels rise, could either be antibodies fighting my ovaries or onset of menapaus...but he did say he thinks I'm too young to have that and my levels will probably go down. He gave me clomid to start with my next AF. i will do blood test again on day 3 and start clomid on day 5 (if fsh have lowered) then another test on day 10. I'm just praying all goes well and I can get my fsh lowered.

Good luck to all with IUI...good luck Holly & Nicki

[NickiMark]
