Our first iui day one went well and day two Jess said
Was painful as they had to straighten her uterus. She had a cyst burst afterwards so we have no idea how long it had
been there so she had a lot of pain. We are looking forward to
an easier process 2nd go around. Thursday and Friday big
Days and then waiting begins again. Best of luck to you all. If
we don't have positive this go around we are going to try clomid.
Especially for me not carrying the child I can't wait to see that little one resemble something I do or say. I joke about how much my poodle acts like me and he's a dog! Terrible comparison but you know what I mean. J will be an amazing mother! I am so lucky! So very happy your husband is doing well gratitudeandlove!!! nblondheim best of luck!!!!!!
Relax. Positivity. Prayers.
Hwhit thank you for the luck it is much appreciated! :)
at work. Best of luck tomorrow. Talking to your follicles is
so precious! We talk to the gift (sperm) .Go baby go! Help
Bring our little wonder into this world!
Ladies best of luck this week! We go back tomorrow
for round two then the wait begins to test. Horrible
storms in area today. Maybe our little soul was
coming in with an entrance!! Thundering the whole time.
Was actually relaxing. Do either of you in your experience
know what average motility is for sperm?
It is very nice to talk to someone else with a similar story. My husband knew from the beginning he wouldn't have be able to have children. He did tell me before we got married but he has had his whole life to deal with this reality while I have only had a few years. It sure is hard!!! But the important part is someway and somehow we will have children in our life! :)
Woooohooo!! I am glad to hear you don't have any cysts. I took clomid and the only side effect I noticed was being more irritable than normal. Other than that I was fine. I hope your side effects are non existent or minimal!
Thank you for the good luck! I will be sure to give my follicles a pep talk! :) What a great idea! I will definitely let you know how things go for me.
How very exciting Hwhit!!!! I absolutely love that both of you talk to follicles and sperm.... I didn't even think of that. I don't know what the average motility is for sperm...sorry! I wish you and Jess the best of luck!
Thinking of both you at this very exciting time in our lives!!!! Sending sticky baby dust both of your ways!!!!
Our first and second iui went well...now the waiting. Our doctor said to do one then another 24 hours later. We test for ovulation and then schedule. We were worried with Thursday we may have jumped the gun but Friday would have put us in the mix for Saturday assuming the gift lasted that long. All this makes you question everything during the process... :)
Have either of you heard from your doctor on how long they assume the sperm lasts after procedure? They have to wait 24 hours and can do another iui next day. Our frustration is our doctor does not do Saturdays so we just rest on fact we did best we could this cycle..... So tough like hitting moving target with arrows ;). Sorry ladies I am not educated on trigger shot? Learning as we go. We spent the weekend watching little league baseball. Great aunts!!! Can't wait to be great mommies yes!!!! Our doctor she was pleased with vial and said looked better then last time. Motility was good. Normal range 50 and it was 60. We are just questioning results of our ovulation kit. Tried the one showing two peak days and two highest peak clear blue but after first test it would not reset. First test showed ovulating but would not reset for next day. Like any of us have extra money to spend on kits! We went ahead with IUIs and tested this morning after buying new kit. Said ovulating and old said not...ugg. Leave it up to Mother Nature now.
Putting it all in God's hands.
Welcome highlyfavored! Which donor are you using? When do you test? So exciting!
It's helpful to hear the numbers of all your vials as I didn't know what was considered normal.
I'm really excited to see how many follicles I have on Wednesday and see how I have responded to Femara. I had some little pangs in my lower abdomen so hoping that's a good sign :) My thoughts are with you ladies!!
Hwhit: Thank you very much! They sure did move along nicely! I haven't heard from my doctor but I heard 12-24 hours because it was frozen and then unfrozen. But that's just something I read online. That is crazy that your doctor doesn't do Saturdays. My doctor wasn't there at all but a nurse did my insemination on Sunday! I did an HCG trigger shot 2 days before insemination per my doctor's orders. It is supposed to help with ovulation and the timing of everything. I am glad to hear your vial was good! I wish you the best of luck and will be thinking of you!
Highlyflavored: Congratulations on doing your IUI on Saturday! You are a day ahead of me! :) I wish you the best of luck!
Here are our vial stats:
Sperm concentration: 71 million/mL
Motile concentration: 36 million/mL
Percent motility: 51%
Progression: M/G
Total motile count: 16 million
I used 12929. Plan on testing next Sat 28 or Sun 29. Don't want to test too early, don't want to be disappointed by testing early. AF is not due til Sat. But I do want to know by Sun so that I can go in for blood work on Mon or Tues if I get a positive. Those are my off days.
Good luck on your U/S.
nblondheim if you want I may just test on Fri with you since we are right here together. I didn't do any shots or anything just clomid. Didn't know they counted from the day you administered the trigger shot. My doc didn't want to use shots just yet, truthfully I forgot what her reasoning was. I think b/c she calculated my day to ovulate to be cd13 just like I did is why we didn't use the shot. As a matter of fact I think I felt that little joker (egg) releasing earlier that morning (had some cramping). Which is what I associate with my ovulation.
This is what was on my paperwork with the sperm, maybe you can interpret what the actual numbers are. You have more info than I do.
Ct per ml = 56
% Motility = 53
That's all I got. Did you get your numbers from your doctor or from the sperm bank?
Well here's to 3dpo!!!
I truly didn't realize they counted from the day the trigger shot was administered either. But I came home with orders for lab work on Monday June 24th to check my progesterone levels and then again on Friday, June 28th to check my levels again and do a pregnancy test. Sunday, June 30th would be 2 weeks after my IUI.
I honestly don't know what is good or not. I just know everyone talks about it on here and I was curious. My doctor had the paperwork with it all filled out and I asked her if I could have a copy of the vial stats. She laughed and said she honestly didn't know. She asked and they said I could have a copy but that no one had ever asked them that before! :)
We can do this.... and I have high hopes for everyone!!!
*Sticky baby dust!!*
I totally understand why you are excited for AF!!! Thanks for the prayers and baby dust! It's much appreciated!!!
5 down and 9 to go!!!
