    Sweety - I only used Letrozole. I am concerned now because it is CD #16 and still no ovulation. I left a message for my nurse. What is this trigger shot? I am now thinking I need a shot or something to help me ovulate. Thx for the well wishes I hope things work out for you as well.

    Milagros - Good luck I hope you get a BFP! I just want this IUI to happen. Im nervous that I am not ovulating. I hope the doctor see's me tomorrow and we can figure something out.

    SVQueen ::(The hCG trigger shot is a dose of the hormone human chorionic gonadotropin, which normally is produced by the body after implantation of a fertilized egg into the uterine lining. This medication is delivered by injection and is timed to coincide with the final maturation of the ovarian follicles. When the hCG shot is delivered, those follicles release their eggs and a woman may become pregnant. The hCG trigger shot is used in fertility treatments such as timed intercourse and medicated cycles for intra-uterine insemination and in-vitro fertilization.

    SVqueen,

    don't worry, its most likely the fertility med that you are taking. check this out, I usually ovulate day 12 or 13, my cycles are about every 26days, but yesterday for my ultrasound,on cd10 my right and only follicle was barely 12mm. I'm not even near 18mm. To top it off, I only 1 follicle growing. you would think since I took clomid and am using menopur, I would have more than one follicle, right? well, not with me. how are your follicles? are they mature enough for ovulation to take place? r they doing ultrasounds on you? and arent they going to give you the trigger shot? let me know and don't worry.

    Milagros,
    my ultrasound yesterday was okay. I'm a little upset that I have only one follicle maturing, but oh' well I guess it only takes one. tomorrow I have another appt. how are you doing?

    Milagros,

    Today My follie was 15mm. I'm scheduled for IUI on saturday. I will do my trigger shot tomorrow night at 10pm. How many hours after trigger shot did you have the IUI? I hope you are preggers!

    Svqueen,
    Did you go to the doctors? What happened? Good luck

    Sweety your right it only takes one! Stay positive. This is only my 1st month going through this process and it is so nerve wracking. I completely sympathize with women who go through this for years. Its too soon to speak but I don't think I could do it. I would adopt. Anyway I got my 1st IUI today the nurse told me they where good swimmers:) Sperm concentration 58; %motility 52; ROP 3; total # 15.08. I don't get an ultrasound prior to insemination. My MD is just calling this 1st month a tester to see what my body does. Well see hoping for BFP. Now the waiting game

    Ladies,
    My iui is scheduled for this Saturday, and I don't feel any more pinching in my ovary. It stopped yesterday. Yesterday my follie was 15 mm at my ultrasound. I'm worried, I think I may have already ovulated. Help, not sure wat to do

    When you go for your u/s to check follicle size do they also do bloodwork? Every time I have an u/s for follicle size they will check estrogen, progesterone, and LH. They tell me the estrogen level is even more important than the u/s. However, if they checked your LH level while you are there you should be fine. They'd tell you if you were getting ready to ovulate. If my LH level would start to go up they would either give me a med to stop from ovulating until my follicle was big enough or they would just do the IUI without the trigger.

    So, if you had bloodwork, you have nothing to worry about.

    thanks becky,

    that sounds right. yes, they do check my estradiol level everytime I get my follicle looked at. ok, I guess they know what they're doing. how have you been? how are you hcg levels?
  • lookingforwardtobeingamotherlookingforwardtobeingamother Posts: 109
    My 1st IUI was yesterday it went well. I am so excited. Rey said his counts where good. 58 million; 50% motility and ROP 3. I think ROP means rate of progression. She told me tr numbers where great. I pray so. Now just focusing on life tryi not to think about it. I will start taking pregnancy tests next week;) baby dust to all.

    Sweety good luck this Saturday!!!!

    Sweetly and Milagros22 I am so excited we are waiting together. I don't feel anything yet. My mom keeps asking me everyday. I'm going to start taking home pregnancy tests staring Thursday. It's done now. The practitioner who did it said she did her part it is in Gods hands now.

    S queen, don't test to early, if you do dont get discouraged. i tested on day 7 bfn, and it was that way all three times I tested. Only day before af was due did I get a bfp. Just want to forewarn you. They may say that. They can predict a week early but not necessarily. My sil who has had 3 did not get a BFP till day 26. I was so discouraged that I was in shock when the bfp came. Good luck and we are all pulling for you.

    Sweety- I am not feeling anything. I am a little tires and hungry but I'm probably reading into it.

    My IUI was on 9/19
  • SweetySweety Posts: 241
    Ok, baby dust to all three of us!!!
  • lookingforwardtobeingamotherlookingforwardtobeingamother Posts: 109
    Okay so I am having mild cramping in my lower abdomen. Extremely mild because usually when my menstrual cycle is going to start I feel it more than this. My IUI was 9/19 and today is CD 23. I don't know what to think? I think I am have very faint spotting but I am going to where a liner to be sure. I'm so anxious I wish the days would fly by so I can take the test.

    I'm right behind you guys. My IUIs were yesterday (9/23) which was day 14 of my cycle. So I am on day 15 today. I've got a ways to go!


    Baby dust for all of us!!!
