I'm praying it works.
The doc yesterday said
For me 2-3% chance triplets
20-30% chance twins..
I'm hoping one sticks! I've really tried hard to eating healthy, no caffeine, no sugar etc.
How are you doing?
Lisa, my good friend just had her IVF twins (my re)!!! I am saying prayers for everyone - lisa hoping there is a sticky bean in there!!!!!!!
To everyone else, keep the faith. You will get there.
Originally went to an RE to get pregnant b/c my wife & I wanted to start a family. I have never tried to get pregnant before so I didn't think it would be a long road. How naive of me.
Started testing in July- most came back normal except they saw a small polyp. I opted to try without removing it. Also I chose to do genetic testing which results in me being a carrier of a rare genetic disorder. I am happy I learned this and chose to have the donor tested.
Aug: 1 IUI = BFN
Changed donors due to availability.
Sept: 2 IUI's back2back = BFN
October: I decide to remove the polyp and have an HSG to clean things out. Hysteroscopy & D&C. I also started acupuncture & taking Geritol.
November 2 IUI's= BFP, but I was told my beta was low at 17.
Told to test again in 2 days.
2 days later it rises to 109.
Told to test again in 2 days.
2 days later (today) dropped to 7.
Told to come back in 2 days, but was set up to expect I am no longer pregnant.
All of my IUI's have been natural, only used Ovidrel to trigger. Also this time around I am on progesterone suppositories to support a pregnancy due to lower (than they'd like to see) progesterone level.
Hopefully soon I will have a positive ending to share. I do believe that will happen, but for now this is all I got.
So I managed to squeeze in my second IUI cycle before the lab closed for the holidays.... So now the dreaded 2ww starts. But it would be a really Christmas gift to get a BFP. So the procedure was surprisingly simpler then my last IUI cycle, but this around my doc used what looks and feel like an old medieval torture device : the tenaculum.... Ok... So that wasn't very pleasant (glad I wasn't able to see it before the procedure), has any one had the "pleasure" of using this tool?? I just hope it doesn't affect my chance of getting my BFP.
Good luck and baby dust to everyone
I'm over the moon happy and hope it sticks!
I'm over the moon excited and hope it sticks!!

krsb16 : I'm glad my experience with the said tenaculum wasn't nearly as bad as yours, your experience sounds horrible. Mine was def not pleasant but no where near as bad, the Dr I had was very nice, he explained everything ahead of time (Didn't show me the tool... thank goodness). He said because of the shape of my uterus and the cervix entrance this tool would make the it easier... but clearly not more pleasant, he actually did an ultrasound simultaneously to show me that he was injecting directly into the uterus... that made the means to end and worth it. I'm hoping there wont be a next time
Baby dust to everyone!!!
😊
Callen- they brought me in and monitored w u/s so they knew when to do trigger - and then again to make sure before IUI that I was in the window.
I felt the same way about the trigger shot, but my clinic does use ultrasound to confirm & last iui I got pregnant so although I thought it didn't work, it did. Miscarried, but it did work. Gotta look at the positive.
I have decided to have an in person appt with my Dr.
This was my 6th time
Thanks for responding everyone.
Hope you guys are doing well.
Kisses
So I am currently at 8dpiui, I couldn't resist anymore and tested this morning to see the trigger was at least out of my system... It is! The part that partially worries me right now is today I am starting a cold
Has anyone been sick during the 2ww and gotten a BFP? I will test again on Tuesday morning (10dpiui).
Baby dust to all and also Happy Holidays to all
Today I took a test and got my first BFP!!! I am both ecstatic and nervous. Fingers crossed and prayers are appreciated! Early Merry Christmas to all!!
