Hello all of you gorgeous ladies!! Well I had my u/s today and I have one big giant size 18 follie. She gave me my Ovidrel injection and tomorrow will be my IUI. I hope this big fat follie is the lucky one! I am so relaxed about this one compared to the last two. Maybe that will help it work . Does anyone else have their IUI tomorrow?

Question: Do any of you take a baby aspirin every day? Just curious if it is supposed to help with fertility treatments and preventing miscarriage.

So Madeese...I'm curious to know how the HSG test went. Did you do okay? What did they find out? I hope everything went alright and that it helped clear the way for your IUI so you can get a BFP!!

cherrygoround, Welcome to the thread! I hope this is your baby month!

Good luck everyone this week with your U/S's and IUI's!! We gotta have more BFP's this month than last month. Baby dust and sticky vibes to you all!

OH yeah Tracyb... I totally didn't answer the baby asprin question... I am allergic so I do not take it but we have a co-worker friend that he and his wife tried and tried for years to get pg and never could get that way... then she went in for a normal regular physicians check and the doc said to take 1 baby asprin a day and WHAM she got pg the very next cycle. Now they are pg with their 2nd child using the same technique. So good luck.. if you aren't allergic like nerdy me LOL
I read somewhere where it helps with the lining and the ability to prevent a possible m/c but that was some of my latenight Googling so it could be totally unreliable.

Thanks katiep for the baby aspirin info. That helps. I should probably do some googling on it myself...and also ask my RE if I should take it too of course.

So I am totally jazzed right now because I just went to write on my calendar when my 2ww ends and it ends exactly on my 2 year wedding anniversary! How cool is that?? I'm not getting too excited though, last month I could've sworn it was THE month for me and it was a total let down, so this month I'm staying neutral. But I still think it's cool .

Thank you everyone for all of the luck and sticky vibes. I hope your IUI dates hurry along and get here so I'm not in the 2ww all alone going crazy...lol.

Hi ladies!

Just checking in...So exciting to see so many of you with great numbers and results thus far. Wishing you all the best on the upcoming IUIs.

I think I would have been on schedule with you ladies for an IUI next week, but I'm actually out this month because my DH had the flu 2 weeks ago and apparantly high temps damages sperm. So, our doc suggested that we sit out this round and start up again next round. Also, with 4 unfertilized follies last round, she thinks I may have a cyst or two that need to clear.

In any case, it has been nice to be worry-free this month - just trying naturally which has been more fun without the stress. Nevertheless, can't say I'm not counting down the days to start the next round! Our plan is to start as another Follistim/IUI, but my DH will get a repeat semen analysis and if it still shows relatively low morph, we're switching it to an IVF round.

Anyways, I'll keep peeking in here - hoping to see many many BFPs this round!!

Good luck and baby dust to all of you!

xoxo!

I had a 2nd u/s today. RE was going to selectivley reduce my follies if all continued to grow. I had 7 follies last Thursday all between 10 and 13 cm. The SR was not necessary b/c only 2 continued to grow. I have 2 on the left side with the leading one at 17 cm. So, trigger Wednesday night with IUI Friday morning then 2WW.

Seems that my body is responding relatively well to femara but I just don't want to get my hopes up too high for another crash if this IUI doesn't work. Of course, that is easier said than done!!! As we all know . . . ahhh, this is such an emotional roller coaster.

Hi ladies!

It seems that everyone is moving along nicely. My cycle finally started this weekend and I went to the RE today. She found a cyst on my ovary and almost cancelled this cycle but my b/w came back okay. I took my first shots of 350 Gonal-f and Menupar this evening. I go back Wednesday for a u/s and more b/w. I'm excited to finally get started.

nzsc- good luck with the IUI tomorrow!

Madeese- Hope the HSG goes went well today.

TracyB- Congrats on the big follie!

Talk to you ladies tomorrow.

Kelly

Good luck everyone!

Hi ladies! OK, just went for my ultrasound today and doc said that my IUI will be on Wed. (June 24) I have been on Femora and trigger shot for 4 cycles and the past 2 cycles doc increased my Femora dosage to 5 mg/day from 2.5mg/day. Presently, I only have one follicle at size 19mm...which is good but here's my question....is anyone else on Femora and what are their dosages? I am wondering if doc should increase it to a higher dose so I can have more follicles. Good luck to everyone!!! We are all in this together and I'm so happy to have this website and support.
