Some Frustration...

I got triplets using 100mg of Clomid, I would say with your awesome response to the meds I may try an unmedicated cycle just to see what your body does without meds. Good luck!

My partner had 3 very large follicals and still went through with it. We ended up with twins, one was lost at about a month to two months in. However had a very healthy baby girl. I would have done it still.

Ok so I went for my day 3 bloodwork and ultrasound. I have 21 follicles, which the MD isn't overly concerned about starting Clomid again but using 50mg (was 100mg). I'm really going to roll the dice on this one because my gut tells me I'm going to have more than one mature follicle which may cause multiples. I will take Clomid day 5-9 then go in on day 11 for monitoring. Then hopefully my first and only IUI on Jan 10/11. I'm anxious and hope this cycle isn't cancelled again due to too many mature follicles.

good luck! When I had my IUI I had 2 that IM still not 100% positive I am not pregnant. I am waiting awhile longer to test again, but whatever is going on with this spotting is weird and nothing like my period. Its not even enough to make it past wipeing. Grrr adds more frustration! Either way if I am not I cant try agian until Feb as the clomid gave me cysts.

I can imagine how frustrating this 2ww is for you, especially with the spotting. Stay positive, stranger things have happened. Maybe the HCG levels are not high enough to register yet and you will get a BFP tomorrow how big were the folliicles before you had the trigger shot? That sucks about the Clomid cysts. I thought I would get them also but didn't. Good luck! Baby dust!

well after 4 long days of spotting I woke this morning with a regular period. Guess its Feb for the next try.

I know exactly what you mean, that 2 week wait was brutual! I had my IUI on 1/16 and was for sure I was pregnant only to be fooled by symptoms from the HCG shot. I'm surprised to find you had to do yours in the stomach as mine insisted I do it on my left rear hip area. That was also the side with the 22mm folicle so I just figured it was because of that. I too am like you and all of this is out of pocket for me until i've had 6 unsuccessful attempts and then my insurance will kick in and cover costs but I'm hoping I don't have 6 unsuccessful attempts as that would be a HUGE chunk of cash and I'm not sure I can handle that emotionally??!! I was not upset that I wasn't pregnant but I was upset that I put out that kind of cash and got nothing out of it but experience! I wasn't exactly looking to pay what I paid for experience! I have however learned to ask more questions. I cheated and took a HPT 2 days before I was to go in for the lab test and it was negative so in some small way I was getting prepared for the "no you're not pregnant" news. I was so optimistic it was going to take the first time I hadn't really considered that it might not until I read this book called "Knock Yourself Up: No Man, No Problem!" It was a funny read about a lady going through all of this (including home inseminations, which I am not open to!) and she interviewed several other single mothers by choice. That's when I began to ponder, ok so what happens if it doesn't take the first time and my answer was nothing, just wait until the next month and do it again and hope for the best which is where I am now. So if all goes well the next IUI will be around Valentine's day. I'm keeping my stress levels down (have had to cut some people out of my life!), watching my diet and keeping my head up. I've continued to read and research and the new thing I've come across is how celiac disease can interfere with fertility and you can be symptomatic but not actually have the disease. I don't think I have it but I am looking to incorporate some gluten free diet options. WebMD also has a lot of good articles about becoming pregnant and how to prepare your body. Since you are going to be away from your doctor for the new job I would ask if he has a counterpart or knows anyone in the area where you will be working. Most doctors that study in the same field know a colleague or two either from being at the same seminars, practicing or studying together or just because they know them. Best of luck to you and I'll be waiting for your update!

Still waiting for it to start................arrr there has been signs since sunday, but nothing happening. SOme spotting but after last cycle I wonder what really is normal, or if what is going on now would be normal.

Well the deed is done! I had one IUI yesterday followed by another today. Had two good follies PLUS the new sperm donor had awesome counts! Post wash was 32 million and 27 million. The first donor only had 9 million and 6 million. Booooo! It wasn't up to Fairfax standards. Anyway, I will start the TWW and I have already purchased 3 dolllar store HPT. I will start testing on Feb 23rd. I hope this will be a successful cycle.

Good luck! I am in my clomid part right, and my body is doing much better with it this time around. Im not so sick feeling. I go in for the first sizing ultrasound on monday........so if its like the last cycle it should be next weekend.

The frst round I had the clomid and the ovadril shot. From the time I started the clomid through about 3 weeks I was sick. It was pretty much as soon as the pills started work their way out of the system then I had the shot which started it over. I felt worse after the shot then with the clomid.

Ok ladies, I went on Friday for a scan and had a 7 on the left follie and a 14 on the right follie (didn't even have anything on the right last cycle!). They had me come back in this morning and the left is up to 16 and the right is at 21! Trigger shot tonight and IUI scheduled for Tuesday morning and then the 2WW begins. I'm excited that my body is doing its job with no meds! I'm really hoping this is the one!

bluesky10

It looks like Friday is the day for me. I currently have 4 follicals. Sizes are around 14, 13 and 2-10's. I will take the shot on Wen and go in Friday morning. Now, I only have one vial left but got called for a wait list I was on for a guy that is no longer available. Trying to decide if I should order them or not.......any suggestions????

latebloomer

Bluesky the call for the wait list is almost like "insurance". How long do you have to decide whether or not you want to purchase? That would be a tough call but on the flip side if you order and you don't get BFP then at least looking for another donor will be out of the way when you're ready again but I could also see how placing the order could mentally mean that you don't think it's going to work this time. I think I would have to ask how many people are on the wait list and if it's not too many then I think I would gamble and have my 2WW and see what happens. Tough decision for you but best of luck. Whatever you decide just make sure you don't second guess yourself and make sure you don't regret your decision. Hope that helps!
