Hi Dee, Just keep yourself busy and take your mind off of things. Do something fun to not worry. Good luck!
Hi MRCCJF. May I ask were all the failed cycles with 4991? I've heard such positive news after one or two IUI's with this donor. I'm so sorry for your and your wife's struggles! Do you have any saved information or remember sperm motility and count? We purchased 4991 and will be attempting our first IUI at the end of this month!!! Excited to see how IVF goes for you.
We did use 4991 for all 6 of the IUIs. You’re right though, it does appear many women have had early success with 4991 on IUI #1 or #2. I figure, odds at my age each IUI were 15% and I just never took that lucky roll. I could have kept trying IUIs, but at some point I had to decide when that money would be better put towards IVF. My wife and I had our egg retrievals this past week, and we have a total of 16 fertilized eggs that we are anxiously waiting to see if they turn to day 5/6 embryos. If I’ve learned anything from watching my friends, everyobody’s Journey is different. I am slightly older (37 next month), so that could be part of it. But it could also have just been unlucky. Here’s to hoping IVF is our lucky route. Good luck with your first IUI with 4991. Fortunately we have backup vials if we need to keep trying.
I believe it will all work out in the end! I am 40 and it worked on the first IUI for me even with the fertility issues. It is so hard to predict how your body will react to get pregnant. I learned not to blame it on anything because I have seen all situations work in bad conditions and not work in good conditions. The idea is to stay positive and keep relaxed and things will work out. I am sure out of 16 eggs one is bound to make it happen.
