First time IUI success?

I had 2 follies, one on each ovary. All these percent chances don't seem accurate. It's so mind boggling that with millions and millions of sperm that there can't be a better chance! I'm also worried that my RE didn't put me on Follistim or Gonal-F injections with the Clomid. Do you know why they started you with the Follistim?

Well I couldn't hold out. BFN on hpt this morning. I keep slight hope with the fact that I'm 12dpiui so maybe it just implanted or will today. Is that foolish or what?

Beach... Totally sucks! I did the same thing - HPT this morning = BFN. But, like you, I still have a glimmer of hope. Blood test tomorrow morning / results tomorrow afternoon.
If it's neg I think I'll push to start on injectibles... I want the highest chances possible and I read that Clomid/IUI is about a 10%-20% chance of success and Injectibles/IUI is up to a 30% chance. I'm not sure I can take this much longer... So depressing.

GTsmommy- I am so so sorry! I'm on the same page as you, next time injectables! I already made an appointment with my RE for this Saturday morning to discuss the next step. I also bought a big bottle of wine today that I intend to drink tomorrow evening. I should get my results tomorrow afternoon as well. But who knows? Implantation is anywhere from 5-12 days, right? We are still in the game!

GTsmommy-- what are your thoughts on IVF? I've got up to $10,000 coverage on my insurance on any infertility treatment and would almost rather get the most bang for the buck!

I like your plan, BG! I'm cracking a bottle of red tomorrow night that I've been saving for a special occasion. Horrible news counts as a "special" occasion, right? Still holding that glimmer of hope, but definitely bummed today. Glad to have someone that's right there w/ me! Crossing my fingers for us both.

As for IVF... well, long story is that I did 5 cycles of IVF with my exhubby before we split up. The IVF was because of male-factor, so IUI wasn't an option. So, single, I decided I still wanted a baby... so I adopted (a wonderful baby who is now 18 mo old). But, my desire to be pregnant never went away... So I tried inseminations with donor sperm for a year - to no avail. Now trying IUI with Clomid and we'll see. If my insurance covered any RE tx, I'd go for the IVF - best chances of success! Good luck.

Good luck tomorrow, I also have my fingers crossed for our BFPs++++++++

My temp plummeted this morning, so I already know my answer. I think I'm okay with it (for now). Saturday is so close to meet with my RE to discuss our next step that it gives me hope all over again for this upcoming cycle. GTsmommy, let me know how it goes!

Sorry BG for your temp drop - that sucks. It'll be nice to hear what's next on the horizon. I went in this morning for my B/W this morning and now I'm just waiting. But I already know the answer, I can feel a/f starting. I almost started crying at Starbucks this morning just thinking about the phone call. ho hum...

I just got my phone call, BFN. Oh, I can taste the wine now! When I spoke to the nurse about my appointment this Saturday, she said that IVF is definitely an option for me. So what happened during your IVF tries? Would you do it again?

 

GTsmommy - March 13

Just got my call too - BFN as predicted. Wine calling my name. My IVF attempts previously all failed. No known reason. The doc just told me on the phone that she would recomment injectibles for the next cycle (instead of clomid) but I know nothing about them so I'm nervous. I would definitely do IVF again if it were free... however, I'm not sure I can justify incurring that much debt. I may just adopt again. ho hum. A depressing day for me.

so sorry girls about the bfn's. i was rooting for you.. i am going in tomorrow morning to see if my first iui was a sucess or not. enjoy your wine girls, and again so sorry :(

SaintRose83- lots of babydust to you today!!!! Let us know how it goes! I see my RE tomorrow to discuss next steps. I think that I'm going to try for IVF. I have a fear of the getting cysts from overstimulating from the injections and then having to take a few months off (it happened to 2 of my friends).

 

SaintRose83 - March 14

BFN

I'm so sorry SaintRose. What are your next steps?
