Hi Ladies,

My name is Jessica and this is my first time visting this site . My DH and I have been TTC for the past 3 years. I started on clomid for about 5 months with no success. I took a break for a year and we just decided to try again. I began seeing a specialist in infertitly in early April 08. He diagnosed me with PCOS :-( My DH does not have any problems at all :-)

I have a very irregular period so I had to take Provers for 10 days. I was then instructed to start Gonal-F injections. I started at a very low dosage of 37.5(7days) and them moved to 75(5 days) then 112 for 4 days. I was able to get 3 follicles.

I had my first IUI on Saturday 7/5. DH had 134 kmillion sperm count,80% motility.I go back on 7/21 for the test.

I find myself constanly thinking about this. I pray that it has worked. I am glad I came across this site. I hope speaking with everyone helps get through these long days.

~Jessica~

Hi Jessica, welcome to the site!
.
Yes, it is a horrible 2 weeks, we all can relate. Just try to keep active and keep your mind off things. (easier said than done).
All the best to you.

Hi ladies, I have been following along, but haven't posted here yet. I go in on Thursday for an ultrasound and then we'll see if I'm ready for an IUI. It will be my first one, any advice?

I just had my first IUI today. It wasnt that bad. So here is to a an extremely long 2ww. I am also sure that I Oed today too.

GL Stacey! It doesn't hurt one bit. It kind of feels like a pap in that they insert a speculum but they also insert a catheter into the uterus. It literally takes a minute.

And all the best to you ladymcneill!

Thanks for the warm welcome! I am thankful that there are people I can talk to that understand what I am going through. Even though people say they understand, it takes going through the process to know how much of an emotional roller coaster this truly is.

staceyj1-I was extremley anxious and nervous when I went in for my IUI. It was so fast and painless, I didn't feel a thing. GL to you! Let us know how it goes.

The only feeling I have since my IUI is almost like a tightness feeling right below my belly button.Its not a cramp feeling but it comes and goes. Not sure what it means.

Hope everyone has a nice day! Stay positive. I am praying we all have a

[staceyj1]

Thanks for the welcome. I'm really not nervous, I've read a lot about what to expect but it's always nice to hear it from actual people too. We'll see what tomorrow brings!!

Ally: Good luck (what doe the title of the post mean? w/o? Sorry, I just am not sure )

Jessica: Good luck to you!!!!

LadyMcNeil: Good luck to you!!

I am joining in as I will have my IUI on Friday, the 11th. I am nervous but excited because we have so many follicles. You can see my stats in my siggie. I am way too involved in my cycles for my own good and this is the second cycle I have tried to aly low and not be over controlling with and it has helped my stress level! I have 13 follies... yes, 13. Only 3-5 should release, which is great! Good luck all!!!
