    I had to laugh when I read this, but in a sweet, loving way. Almost everyone who gets pregnant on their own has one follicle. You only need one.

    Lol, I know but what I meant was, don't your chances of conception increase if you have more than one follicle, verses just one?

    Yeah your chanced increase but you are taking meds and timing insemination exactly. I hope the stars align for you.

    Sweety,

    When do you do your IUI? I am in my tww, I am on day 4 of 14 day wait. This is my 7th IUI, hope it works. If not, one more try then break until I can do IVF. I have to lose 22 pounds first (ughhh)..

    Ahh, I hope you are pregnant. My iui is scheduled for this Saturday. I used menopur, did u use meds? I'm a little worried though my cycles are about every 26 days, but my doc is doing my insemination on cd 15, and ovary does not pinch anymore. I'm afraid I already ovulated, has this ever happened to you? Baby dust for bfp

    an egg lives for abt 12-24 hrs after ovulation so you CAN get pregnant after. it's better to do the ins before though as sperm can live + 3 days (sometimes i read the number 5 days).

    it sounds strange to schedule the IUI a certain amount of days instead of coming in, doing ultrasound and SEE when/if it's time... that's what i did, and when it was abt time i got a booster shot.
    at my first 4 inseminations my doc scheduled IUI a little after12 hrs after my booster shot, which would cover me both if i ovulated early or if i ovulated at the more "average" 36 hrs after (as sperm can live for + 3 days). as IUI no. 1-4 were unsuccessful, on the 5th attempt he decided to do it abt 24hrs after the booster shot (should take 24-48 hrs after boostershot bef ovulation, around 36hrs they say). i was scared that in case i'd have an early ovulation it wouldn't work.

    i did mine in bkk - perhaps procedures are different there...

    anyway, the "late" IUI worked for me, here i am 11 weeks preggers and praying that the little one will stay

    :)

    good luck!

    Congrats ellamona! Sweety I took home ovulation tests. As soon as I had a surge I called and booked the IUI the next day. The only thing is I was confused by the directions so I this I went 2 days after ovulation. Anyway hope that is the combo. It is CD 29 and still no period. Baby dust to all

    Sweety

    I have done 6 rounds of IUI with clomid and a hcg shot. Currently my 7th IUI has failed. Doing one more clomid round while I wait for my insurance to pre approve using injectable meds. I have done insemination on cd 15 before, it all depends on how big your follicles are. Good luck and lots of baby dust.

    I tried over the counter ovulation tests, they did not work for me. PCOS can really make it difficult to use home tests. So I go in to be monitored by ultrasound.

    Hey Sweety my blood test is tomorrow. I'm really starting to think that I am. Every hpt came back negative but today I started spotting. I don't know what it means. I hope and pray but I have never had spotting before. I will keep you updated.

    Sweety- I am so sorry you got your period. Stay positive and keep traveling towards your baby. Its probably silly but I feel like our babies are just waiting for us to reach them. Keep going

    Hey guys... I know you all are testing, not to put false hope sometimes those tests are wrong. I tested early and it was always negative, when I tested at 14 days it was positive. I have a healthy 1 year old now. Good luck.

    I got tested and waiting for results. I think I miscarried last night. It was the worse cramping and clots I've ever experienced. So we will see what the results mean.

    A queen,

    If its anything like that, at least you know that you can get pregnant. Good luck

    Sv queen, it can also be just a heavy period, since you ovulated late, you started your period late. Also, I heard that clomid can cause heavy cycles. Don't give up!
