Ladies doing their first cycle of IUI or IVF.

[MissJuly10]

How funny Dee, as I had my scan today and my follies have hardly grown, mine are also around 11mm and two others at 8-9mm. Looks like we are very similar at the mo!

Feeling deflated as I've been crampy so was expecting more growth but obviously not. If progress is still slow by monday, they will consider increasing my dose again.

Blondy , fx for you hun! X

 

[Dee28]

Not just me them missj! Very deflated too, nurse said we might be looking at Friday for the iui, I was thinking Monday or Tuesday, another week will drag and will make it a very long cycle, I'm ek seeing if we've been stopping the bding too soon for the last 2 years!

How are you feeling blondy? Xx

 

[xxcharliexx]

I'm due to start ivf stims on Tuesday, short protocol all being well at shows xx

 

[MissJuly10]

I had very obvious cramping last night with lots of EWCM, now in a bit of a panic as my scan isn't til Monday and I'm worried we missed it! Will have to BD tonight just in case.

It's a bit of head mash isn't it this iui! I had no use it would be, this timing and bding and what not is driving me mad! My ewcm kicked in yesterday and I'm niggling in my ovary today so will be bding tonight too! X

 

[Dee28]

Cd15 and just had my latest scan, my dominant follie is 15.3 so getting there, another scan weds so looks like the iui might be Friday, that'll be cd19!

How are you doing missJ? X

 

[MissJuly10]

Hey Dee, that's great news! Funnily enough my dominant follie today was 16mm and another at 10 which isn't big enough but they are keeping me on gonal f til Wednesday and I've also got cetrotide to inject alongside it to stop ov happening too soon. They are doing the IUI on Friday too! Lol looks like we will be 2ww and IUI buddies! x

 

[Lucyboo]

Hi everyone. Hope you are all doing ok? Had my scan today. It's been decided going to wait for af naturally as looks like I ovulated over the weekend so if there is that tiny chance of things happening naturally we need to go for it. Otherwise will start stimming after next weekend.

Yay for 2ww buddies, I'll need it I think! Feeling very anxious about the timing as the last two months I've had my smiley face the morning of cd17 which will be weds and if that happens this time it will be too late to trigger that night and too surely too late for the iui Friday? I'm not taking anything to suppress my natural ovulation. Nurse seemed sure I wouldn't surge tomorrow with a 15mm flicks today but what if I do weds morning, will they do the iui without the trigger on Thursday do you think? Does anyone know what the ovitrelle trigger brings to the table so to speak?

Lucy - fingers crossed for you, always worth taking the chance, you just never know... Xxx

 

[MissJuly10]

Lucy that would be amazing to get a natural bfp, I have my fx for you hun. X

Dee - I worry about timings too but the nurses at my clinic tell me that the follicles need to be bigger before ov and as I inject cetrotide when ov is close, my egg won't be released til I trigger. The ovitrelle has hcg and stimulates the egg to release. I usually trigger 24 hours before the IUI.

My follie was 16mm yesterday and I was told to start cetrotide along side the Gonal F, they want my follies bigger but don't want me to ov. I don't know what would happen if you ov before the IUI, whether they'd still do it or call it a natural cycle, I really don't know hun.
When is your next scan? X

 

[Dee28]

My next scan is tomorrow at midday. I've called the clinic and am waiting for a call back to ask what will happen if I get my positive opk tomorrow morning with regards the trigger and timings...I'm preying I won't have my smey face in the morning and it will time perfectly...I can hope! X

 

[Dee28]

The nurse just called back and said even if I get a positive opk tomorrow I would still trigger tomorrow eve to help mature the egg and to not worry! Easier said than done...but will try :-/

That's great! Good luck!

 

[Blueflower]

If anyone who has had IVF still reads this thread, did anyone else get little red dots where you injected? My tummy was clear until this weekend and then all the bumps from the last fortnight came up like little spots! I don't know why they took till then to appear! Do they fade after a few weeks?

That's good hun! Even if you do ov early, you will still be in with a good chance as the sperm will be injected right near the Fallopian tubes so you won't have to worry about them swimming up to meet the egg lol. It will be ok hun. X

 

[Dee28]

Well it seems my stressing that I'd get my positive opk this morning before I've taken my trigger shot was unnecessary as there's no sign of a line! This is now stressing me out! I haven't has a positive later than cd17 for over a year, the clomid seems to have delayed ovulation which I didn't expect. Scan today at midday and I'm preying my dominant follicle has grown enough to do the trigger tonight and the iui Friday before I turn grey :-/

How's everyone else doing? Xx

 

[TS1982]

Good Luck Dee xxx

 

[Blueflower]

Everything is out of kilter at the moment but I'm sure it will happen. You get a brilliantly positive OPK when you've done the trigger shot, its very exciting!

 

[MissJuly10]

I didn't think the surge happened til the trigger shot, maybe that's why? Like Blueflower said, I'm sure it'll be fine.

I'm just home from my scan, dominant follie is 19mm and iui is booked for Friday. Got to wait for a call to tell us what time it is and what time to do my trigger tonight. X
