Well I went in today for u/s and it was confirmed that my IUI will be on Monday morning. WOW! Feel like this entire process was quick. Well I hope all goes well but at this point I am really not excepting to get pregnant on the first try. Things are never that easy for me even though it would be lovely. My right ovary is working better then my left. Hope this isn't an issue. My DH is so stressed his sperm count has not gone up. I am just trying to be positive about the entire situation because I am so excited. Well I will trigger tommorrow at 11PM as well as .Has anyone ever heard of someone get pregnant on there first try.

Juliana,
I am undergoing in for an IUI at the end of the week. (It will be my third IUI, my first IUI was about 4 years ago and resulted in my beautiful daughter, second was unsucessful). Just wanted to send some encouragement and let you know that it does happen. Baby dust to you and your hubby.

I had a successful IUI with injectables with only one follie on my first cycle after 9 mths of clomid. Good luck
I saw RE today E2 is 879 and I have a 18,14 on Left and 17,14,12,11 or Right. I trigger tomarrow night at 10:15. I am so afraid I am going to ovulate before my trigger. IUI on Monday at 8:15... If feel really optimistic since this is the best response I ever had

Do you live a long ways from your clinic? I was just wondering why you had to leave so early. I have to travel 1.5 hours to my clinic and I can't imagine how hard it would be to travel farther. Just curious- How far are most of you traveling to your clinics?

Hi

Would you mind if I join? I am having my 3rd IUI on either October 31, November 1st, or November 2nd. I hope the 3rd time is the charm. I am getting so frustrated that it has not worked yet. I travel one hour to our fertility specialist's office.

I'm ready! Trigger tonight, b2b iui's scheduled for tomorrow & Tuesday! I just took off from work tomorrow to stand on my head - LOL.

Right ovary: 18, 14, 12 follies
Left ovary: 22, 14, 11 follies

This is the best response I've had yet - and no side effects either from the Gonal F!

My clinic is only 20 minutes from the house however the morning monitoring hours are from 5:45 - 7:30am...if you get there past 6 then you don't get out until 9! I would rather get in & get out & go back to sleep...no patience to wait!

Wow Stacey you did respond really well! I went in for my morning check (mine are from 7:15-8:30 am), and I had a 15 on the left and a 12 on the right, plus some smaller ones on each ovary. A little disappointing that I am not responding better. I would be happy with 2 at 15. The RE fellow that did my scan this morning was going to discuss my results with my actual doctor today and let me know this afternoon what the plan is...I think I will have two more days of stims and then trigger on Tuesday...but we will see!!! Enjoy the rest of your day ladies!

Hello everyone...I hope it's not too late to join in I am new to this but it looks like I am on the same cycle as Juliana. This will be my first IUI and re says I have 2 follies one on each side. Juliana...your chances are very high!!! I hope your prepared for the possibilities of multiples!!

I am overwhelmed with so many emotions...this has to be the hardest thing I have ever done... but it is comforting to know there are groups such as this are here to ease the anxiety a little bit Good Luck and much to us all

Hi ladies,

I'm on IUI #4 this month. My trigger will be 10/26 and my IUI will be 10/28. I had one follicle at 19mm today so it will be a nice size by Wednesday.

Good luck to all.

Hey,
Any of you ladies on the Ovidrel injection? I was just wondering if it is normal to feel like you are pregnant with this injection. I was so tired and had nausea all day long. The nausea was relieved with food but would just return in an hour. Also I have some major cramping on my left side.Anyone else having similar symptoms.

Hey Juliana!

Yes, I just got my Ovidrel injection & have had it with the past 3 cycles...it does make you feel pregnant. Exhausted, nauseaus, bloated, peeing in the middle of the night...it's basically an injection of HCG which is the same hormone that floods your body with pregnancy.

Good luck with your cycle!!

Stacey.

Ok was going through forum withdrawl since my computer crashed last night and DH was out of town until tonight! I am having some cramping and think I had a bit of spotting today, barely there really, but I am really hoping what happened last cycle doesn't happen this cycle. I go for an u/s tomorrow and am really hoping I have some nice fat follies!!!

Sounds like we are gonna have a lot of BFPs in a few weeks, you ladies are follie growing machines!
