Just another update..my beta's today were 1088 and I don't need to do the one for friday, I have scheduled my ultrasound for monday and hoping to see a heartbeat :) (or two) as of now my only symptoms are sore bb's and craving very spicy food.
Hope you girls are next...I just relaxed and thought of positive things and not negative at all, took two days off work and laid down and relaxed after my IUI's and seemed to work.
Baby dust to all and I will be waiting to hear the good news from all of you.

I am 28 and have my first iui next month.I have no problems and all blood work is fine. I will be taking clomid and ovidrel. I've had an eptopic pregnancy 9 years ago which left me with one tube.Has anyone had a similar problem and what was your success rate with iui? Most of all did it work the first time?

Hi ladies,

My husband and I have been trying for our miracle for just over a year and a half now. Finally into a Fertility Clinic this past winter to find out that my hubby's sperm count is low.

Our Doc suggested right away doing the IVF treatments, but with the cost, we decieded to try our journey with the injections & IUI first.

Today is day one of my cycle, and will begin my injections in two days from now.


Looking for success stories, and support.

Congrats to all, and thank-you for all the posts I have been reading so far.

Welcome girls, I wish you both good luck and it does happen..keep the faith and do as much research on things you could do to increase your chances.
Baby dust and keep us posted.

Hi ladies,

Just an update on where I'm at. Last time I posted I had just confirmed a BFN. I'm now on CD 4 and back on 5mg of Letrozole. Started the pills yesterday.
If the cycle goes like last time then I will have my IUI on Aug 22nd. Please pray for me that it works. Third time is supposed to be a charm right?! :-)

Baby dust to all!

Chorona, I am starting clomid today and will have my 3rd IUI on the 24th. Like you I am also hoping that 3rd time will be the charm! Good luck to all. I hope this will be a successful month. Baby dust...

Well ladies...I'm back. My first IUI in May was successful but we lost it at 8 weeks. Its so frustrating considering my RE couldn't find anything wrong with me or the husband. I'm set for an IUI the week of 8/23. My doc put me on Tamoxofin...anyone else take that to help?

 

chorona - August 19

Hi Jenichotns, sorry to hear that you lost the baby. Hopefully your new cycle will work for you. I've never heard of Tamoxofin. Is it the same as Clomid and Letrozole?

Today is CD10 for me and I went to the clinic to do b/w and u/s. I was concerned that the IUI would fall on Aug 22nd as that's my sister in law's shower and I have to help set up, which means I would not be able to do the IUI (no one in our family knows and I don't want to tell them either). Well, looks like my body sensed that it couldn't happen on the 22nd, because I will be doing the IUI tomorrow and Saturday! I have 2 follies, 1 on the right at 17mm and 1 on the left at 20mm. I was in shock that they grew so fast but it's works out perfectly.
Now I'm just hoping that the IUI isn't hoffibly painful like last time.

Whitney: good luck to you, hopefully it will work out for both of us and we could go through the 9 months together!
Grace: where are you? Are you on a new cycle?
Morenas: How's the pregnancy so far? You must be so excited, have you told your family yet?

Baby dust to all!!!!

chorona, I am still pregnant :) so far I am 5 weeks 5 days and I had my first ultrasound last monday, we saw one sac and the yolk and going to get my second ultrasound next monday to check for a heartbeat :) I am so excited...
Good luck tomorrow and hopefully this will be the good one...just relax and do the least possible, give them lots of time to meet (sperm and your eggs) I did.
Good luck to all..

Hi ladies, well I am officially in my 2ww!!! This is the first time that we are not going onvacation for our 2ww so hopefully I won't think about it every second of every day. :-)
I was very nervous that the IUIs were going to be super painful like last time, but I gues our bodies are different every month. They were the easiest ones!!! In total I was inseminated with 39 million sperm at 97% motility!!!

Out of the 3 IUIs that I have done, I feel the most confident about this one!!! I am very hopefull and I have tons of faith that we will make a baby this time.

Please pray that this time it works. We want a baby so badly!
I wish all of you the best and hope to keep hearing more good news.

Baby dust to all!!!

chorona just keep thinking positive, will be praying for you, and those are some good numbers!
after wash my donor sperm was only 12 and 13 million.
I just came back from my second ultrasound and got to hear my baby's heartbeat...I couldn't help it but started crying, it was so amazing...all the pain, testing, surgeries, and money spent was so worth it to me at that moment :-) my baby is due on april 13th of 2011.
Baby dust to all and this will be the good one...

Back on the 2ww. Had my 2nd IUI yesterday...21 million!

 

alrndn - August 26

i'm back on my 2ww. i had a 31mm fololicle this time(my biggest 1 yet :)
jenicholtns- it looks like we will find out aobut the same time. I'll say a prayer for both of us to get good news.
good luck to everyone

 

jenicholtns - August 27

Thanks for the prayer! I find out on Wed, Sept. 8th. Its going to be excruciating waiting for so long. If nothing else this process had def taught me patience.

I didn't find out my follicle length...doc said I had 2 that looked great.

 

chorona - August 27

jenicholtns and alrndn, good luck to you ladies. I'm also on my 2ww but I test a bit earlier than you ladies. I test on Sept 3rd. This past week has felt like the longest week of my life and I know that next week will be the same.

Hopefully this will happen in 3s and we will all get a BFP.

Baby dust to all!!!

Hi Everyone!! Long time since I've been on. Hubby and I took a break for a few months to get our hearts and our minds back into it all again. Just had my 2nd IUI today. I have 2 follies that the doctor kept calling "beautiful" and hubby had a count of 19.43 million. The doctor is pretty confident that this is gonna be it for us and I keep my fingers crossed and say a little prayer everyday :) Staying calm and positive and finding time each day to be by myself for a little while definitely helps me unstress. I go back in on Septemeber 13th to find out that we WILL BE pregnant :) Prayers to all of you and of course lots of baybdust!! Do yourself a favor and stay calm and positive!!! Smile ALWAYS, it really helps!!!! :D
