August will be my partner and I's 2nd IUI Attempt.
First IUI was in June (took a 1 month break). I didn't realize how defeated I would feel after receiving my BFN so we took a month off to regroup and remember why we were doing this.
Anyone else feelin' "Lucky" in August?!

I wish you all the best and can only say is that I know these things happen without us having all the control we would like to have.....So try to relax as much as possible and focus on all that you enjoy. It seems to make it easier. Lots of baby dust to you!
This was IUI number 3 for us, we had 2 canceled cycles prior due to follicles not maturing, also had to have a D&C due to polyps in the uterus. We are also only working with one ovary, one fallopian tube, PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) and my wife is 36. Our lab numbers were not extremely promising either!
So everyone keep your heads up!!! When it's meant to be it will!
We got pregnant on our first cycle with injectables added. It is called a hybrid cycle. We did D3 and 4 on Clomid 200mg, D5, 6, 7 Clomid 150mg then D8,9,10,11 on Bravelle 1 injection a day. That bravelle meant business!!! And we have seen many many ppl get BFP on their first go round with hybrid cycles!
We were on just clomid the other 4 times. Started at 50mg, then 100mg then 150 then a combo 200/150. PCOS was affecting our follies from getting mature.
We also did our IUI at 39 hrs after Trigger shot.
Now all we gotta worry about is stayin prego!!!
Good luck and baby dust to everyone!
Moving forward.....this 38 year old has a positive attitude, and hopes the third time will be the charm. I got a good feeling (and a new donor, the one I originally wanted but wasn't available at the time). In the meantime, I'll take all the luck and baby dust I can get.
@Tommie - Here's to a happy and healthy pregnancy for you and yours.
Pugmama- I'm wishing you lot's of baby dust. The 3rd time is going to be the "Right" time for you.
How is the Clomid coming along? I took Clomid for my first IUI and I have to say I'm not looking forward to starting it again next week. I was an emotional basket case to put it mildly.
Good Luck and Baby Dust!!!!
I'm praying that my 2nd time is going to be a breeze. The first time we had similar symptoms. I kept saying I feel like I'm going through menopause why is it so HOT in here! But the most noticeable side affect was my ability to burst into tears over nothing. Since I'm not a big crier anyway it was a huge adjustment and once I was done with clomid I immediately started to feel better.
Good Luck next week with the IUI. I find that tying on here is a place to release all of the emotions you feel during this process.
Keep me posted.
As for clomid symptoms...
the only symptom I really had was the emotional sensitivity. I usually cry at movies but this time I was bawling!!
Also a note on my wife's reaction to me taking clomid:
From the first day she insisted there were multiple symptoms and I came to understand the reason she wanted so badly for everything to be a symptom was because, she wanted to see a sure sign that the clomid was working. So lovingly, I gave her a breakdown of my thoughts and feelings everyday which made her feel more involved. I guess I should learn to enjoy it because hopefully there will soon be 9 months of thoughts and feelings to share!
Good Luck Ladies!
Keep us posted on the IUI!
Good Luck to u all!!
Went to the RE on Friday and found out that my right ovary has a Corpus Luteum (Functional Cyst)-I think that is what he called it.
We have another appointment next Friday to see what is going on- but it's looking like we are out before we even got started for August :(
We felt the same way...we kept getting benched time and time again...we were exhausted before we even started! We basically had three cycles that got cancelled because the follies wouldn't mature - even with clomid! But we just kept fighting....and here we are 6 months later, happy as can be!
So just remember, this wasn't supposed to be easy, or cheap...it was meant to be rememerable, something worth fighting for...it was supposed to be worth it in the end. Don't stress yourself out, that's the worst thing you can do for yourself. I know it's hard, but you have to think positive!
Good luck!
