Anyone doing IUI?

Hi Blondy,
I maybe getting my 2nd IUI in two weeks, waiting for AF currently.
Where are you having your IUI done? It is not too bad of an experience for me, I was very nervous the 1st time too, some light cramps in my abdomen, the doctor gave me a shot to calm me down, and it was much better after that. Unfortunately, the timing was poor for my 1st IUI, and I didn't react to the trigger shot well, where my egg grew too large before it past, so it was useless.
I did my first one in China, and will not recommend anyone to do so. Now I am seeing Dr Lo in Central.
So, just try to relax as much as you can, its not an invasive procedure, you will be out of there before you know it!
Good luck & look forward to some good news from you!

Having IUI with Dr Ho in central. Not worried about the procedure, more worried about the 2weekwait and the raised expectations :-(
I'm also expecting my husband to freak out tomorrow when it's his turn for a change (def crossing my fingers for that one).
Also, the more cycles I need the more my absences from work will be noticed. I spoke to HR who are fine, but all my colleagues are male and frankly I don't want everyone knowing my personal business but hard knowing what to say when asked.
Sorry about yourf irst cycle- I guess I should find out tomorrow if the follicles have popped.
until then....

ninimo-good luck!
As you saw i just finished my first IUI yesterday.
I can really relate to being fed up.
Sometimes I want to chose to be childless rather than continuously fail- at least that way there'd be some control (and less hormones!!).
But I'm not at the quitting stage yet! In fact what worries me more is that we seem to be only at the beginning of this infertility debacle. But I'm hoping to get off the merry go round quickly and successfully.
To all those people suffering for long periods of time- I applaud you. I'm not sure I could hold it together for that long-and I'm still hoping I won't have to.
I guess I have to wait 2 weeks to find out.....

Best of luck girls!!! I agree it's a really emotionally exhausting journey, but hang in there, we are all here for you.
I had injections to stimulate my follies, then an injection to trigger ovulation for my first cycle (IUI performed 36 hours after the trigger injection I think). First cycle failed, had to rest for the next month because I developed cysts in one of my ovaries.
Second cycle, the dose of the injections was increased which gave me at least 2 good follicles. I ovulated early by myself (natural LH surge detected) so did not need the trigger injection, IUI done 24-36 hours later and succeeded!
So hang in there!!!
