Anyone doing IUI?

Chinese Doc

hi Gracey,
Sorrie to hear the IUI didnt work! Best of luck with the IVF!! it took us TTC 22 months.. so eventually we get there.. i hope the same for you! If you do ever want to see a chinese doc... which is the one i went .. i only went to see him 2 cycles.. and then he got me pregnant.... both my hubbie and i went to see him!
I was suppose to be perfectly healthy too - maybe some ovulation mis matchs.. but not 100% sure.. hubbie swimmers were a bit low on the Shape and ability to swim... but after seeing the chinese doc...
we got a BFP.. and i had given the IUI a break after 2 failed trials... and were just trying natural!

Mabye after the IVF.. if u want to try something else, let me know! My sis saw him 5 months and also got her pregnant!

I am 6 weeks now.. and my god.... getting a BFP was great.. and now the early smpytoms! stuffy nose, bloated, looking like i am 12 weeks, eating for 5!!

Hi Ninimo,
Congrats on your success! Hope you are coping well. I have been TTC for about a year now, had 3 failed IUI cycles, so am trying naturally for now before going for IVF next year. Can you share your Chinese doc's contact? Did you just take the Chinese meds or you did acupuncture as well?
 
Hi Ninimo -- Congrats! How are you doing? I just got a BFP, too. No symptoms yet, but I'm sure they'll come.
In retrospect, maybe people dealing with male issues should skip right to IVF if they can afford to do so. I think IUI works when there's mild infertility or women's problem that can be fixed with drugs. But if the little swimmers can't make it, then they can't make it.
I wish I hadn't wasted 4 months on IUI, but oh well. I'm happy. Thanks for all your support so far! Happy New Year!
 
hey Gracey!!!!!!!!!! congrats!!!!!!!
thats great news!!
IVF worked for u.. thats good ah! when will u be due?
So how many weeks are u ? no symptoms.. u will soon get it!!!
I just turned to week 12 now....... cant wait to start telling people. as i am looking FAT!!!

Happy new year to you too!!!!!!!!
 
Hi Ninimo, How funny! I remember we started IUI the same cycle on this forum.
Finally IVF worked. In retrospect, for male problem, we probably should have jumped to IVF first and saved four months and lots of money. But everything is easier in retrospect.
I just got my BFP a few days ago. I'm barely 5 weeks. An early ultrasound showed a tiny blob (g-sac?) and that's it.My doc seems extremely concerned about MC, but I'm not sure why. I don't even have a due date.
It must be nice to cross that 12-week threshold!
Am looking for another doctor. This one was good for fertility, but seriously stressing us out now. Told me "all activity and work is bad." Really? I want a stress-free, healthy, relaxed pregnancy with normal activity. I want to talk a walk on a nice Saturday afternoon without feeling guilty. I don't want 9 months of bedrest!
Anyway, what a good New Year for the two of us. All the best.... :)
 
On the bright side, pregnancy is the only time of your life when you can be happy about getting fat! :)
 
Hi Gracey,

Wonder if its too late to respone to you. Two of my friends was seeing Dr Clement Chan (i believe he is at Manning House/Building) both of them said he is too cautious and stress them out. So i know what are you talking about. Everytime my friend went there, he put her on those monitor for like 45 mins at her last trimester. My friend is not a first time mum, not over 35.

I really think it is a good idea that you change another doctor you're more comfortable with! Happy pregnancy had higher chance of Happy Baby!

Cheers
 
Hi Ninimo,

Congratulations! I am really curious about your Chinese doctor. I see someone and I really like her but my husband and I haven't had any luck. We went through a year of IUI and we decided to take a break from it and I have been doing acupuncture instead. I would love to know the herbs you took as well.

Thanks so much!
