Sarahelaine57- we have alot in common. I have a daughter who I also concieved through IUI. Looking forward to our journey together. to you.

Looks like I'm going in alittle sooner than everyone else. Due for IUI #2 Thursday the 22nd.

Has anyone ever gone in solo. Hubby has to work - taken a small break to donate but that's all he can do. Seems weird to me to go by myself.

Hey Vichta! I'm going solo too. This is my first time, and I guess I assumed he didn't need to go. We have to bring a sample with us-and then the nurse will do the IUI. Because of DH's work schedule- I'm lucky to get a sample

I actually got preggo on my cycle when I went in by myself! I actually joked around about sending the nurse who did the IUI a Father's Day card, lol!

My DH and I collect at home and bring it in too. Much more comfortable for us! The only problem is that we live about 50 mins from the REs office. So I always feel like we're cutting it close, but they say it's fine. For our first iui they said his count post wash was great so I guess they're right!

I'm also in for this cycle, not positive what date yet. Sometime between the 29-31st. Some cycles I was late and the last one I was early - wonder what will happen this cycle.

I'm starting 100mg clomid tonight. On Monday the 26th I'm going in to get bloodwork (not sure for what) and to get injectibles (which I'm a little scared about!)

My hubby and I also do the sample at home and bring it in.

Hey,
Any of you ladies feel extremely bloated and uncomfortable during your injections.I am on injections for a few more days before my IUI. But I am afraid I am producing to many follies. I am extremely bloated any gassy.Oh also today I totally screwed up instead of giving myself 100 of Follistim I gave myself 150. Total forgot they changed my dose.Should I only give myself 50 tommorrow night. Just need some words of wisdom. Totally need to get it together.

Guess I'll be in with you guys too! Thought i'd be doing IUI on friday but my RE instead gave me two more days of meds ( follistim 200)and f/u u/s on friday. Had a total of five follies today all greater than 11 with biggest already 16 and my E2 was 378! I am nervous since I have never had more than 1 mature follie at trigger. I am soooo nauseous from meds...ahhh. Excited to see u/s on friday.

juliana I would call your doctor and ask...they may want you to stick with your dose of 100. did you have an u/s today? Do you have any idea how many follies you are producing?

I go in for my three day f/u tomorrow...hopefully I've got something brewing in there!

Thanks for responding. Yes I had a total of twelve on Tuesday. Seems like alot to me. I am a hypocondric though and I am worried I have OHSS. Just driving myself crazy I guess. Well I hope tommorrow goes well for you.

Good Morning! I think I am goingto be riding this board & the IUI for the week before...going back in tomorrow for a follie check to see when our IUI will happen.

Charlie's Mom - I feel totally bloated too (I am on Gonal F) but I was just checked on Wed and nothing to crazy is happening down there. It's a side effect of the drug & I unfortunately am gassy too! It's a big annoying at work and all - LOL.

Have a good day everyone!

Stacey.

u/s this morning showed lots of little follies still, right around a 6 to 7...kinda small compared to past cycles so I am a little worried. But my lining was already at a 6, so I was super excited about that, cause it has never been that thick at this point. Back in Monday for another check, but still on 150iu of my repronox. I am hoping there is a lot of growth by Monday!

Good Afternoon All-

Went in for my check today and only had one significant follie on the left, and a bunch of little ones on the right and a bunch of little ones on the left. Estradiol level only went from 33 on Sunday to 50 today. So I am staying on 112.5 of Follistim through Saturday, and I go in on Sunday morning for b/w and u/s. Hopefully those little follies will have had a growth spurt!!! But not too many follies, because if I have over three mature ones I'll get canceled this cycle!!!!
