Hello! I hope everyone is doing FANTASTIC!
I'm new, and I have a few questions.
1. What is a trigger?! I've attempted to find it but then I get side tracked with finding out another piece of information and forget!
2. Is it common for people to try a cycle or two UNmedicated before going the medication route?
3. If I felt I wanted to try medicated right off the bat, is that an option?
4. Does anyone know of any ACTIVE forums that deal with Donor sperm?
This one seems nice, just not so active.
Thanks in advance!

active forums......this one was very active when I was ttc. If a group of you on here start to talk and support each other it could be active again. This was once a lifeline for a group of us ttc. most of us all have kids now and are in touch via email. hopefully you can find the support on here that I once did!
come on ladies stop lurking and start posting to help each other out!

Thanks so much for your reply!
I know Robin answered this. It is usually used in medicated cycles
2. Is it common for people to try a cycle or two UNmedicated before going the medication route?
I was 38 when I started. I wish I had skipped unmedicated. I actually did 4. I did get pregnant on the 4th but lost the pregnancy at 8 weeks. I then did several more IUIs before moving onto 2 IVF rounds before finally having my darling daughter (who I call my lucky 13 since it was that many rounds total!!). She was born when I was 41
3. If I felt I wanted to try medicated right off the bat, is that an option?
Absolutely - but talk to your doctor - depends on your age and your own personal history
4. Does anyone know of any ACTIVE forums that deal with Donor sperm?
Robin and I were trying to conceive at the same time and we are both still in touch with a great group of us who all conceived within a year of each other.
GOOD LUCK!
I tried an unmedicated cycle for my first IUI. and After I have done some research on it I feel like that was such a waste of time and money!! My advice go straight to medicated!!! It helps with the whole timing process! Ive had a total of 5 IUI's done and nothing yet... with no known infertility problems. Good Luck!! And feel free to contact me if you have any other questions!
I was told cycle one would be unmedicated fur to my age (26) and if it didn't work we'd go from there!
I am so nervous
I elected not to do the HSG test off the bat, did our first unmedicated IUI that did not result in a pregnancy. The following month, I tested high for ovulation but never hit peak so we missed last month. Due to insurance, I elected to go ahead and do the HSG test last week. Should have been doing our second IUI here in a few days. However, the HSG showed some sort of tubal occlusion so we will miss this month as well because our primary RE is out until Jan 6th.
It will interesting to find out if he wants to move me to medicated now or how we will proceed from here. I am on pins and needles waiting for him to get back.
Best of luck JKoubik!!! It's different for everyone, find what works for you and go with it!
