Anyone doing IUI?

[Blondy]

Though I'd post an update-BFN yesterday with the blood test :-(

Taking the news quite well considering.
It was a long 2 week wait and for a while there I thought that blue veins appearing all over my body and hot flushes was a good sign-turns out it was just the meds.

For now i'm just looking forward to feeling 'normal' for a few days as I'm currently drug free!

Hi Blondy, so sorry to hear about your BFN, its never easy getting that, but there's always next time. as long as you don't give up, you will get there!
I am getting my 1st IUI with Dr Lo tomorrow, got my hcg this morning. I had a total of 3 FSH shots $2100 ($700each)+$2000 Dr Lo monitoring fees + $800 hcg shot+$2300 IUI fee=$7200. I was told that it would be between $12-15k, but vary with people depending on how much drug you need.
anyways, im excited and looking forward to getting it done, but im sure my mood will turn immediately to anxious & worried once its done & the 2ww starts. my husband & I are flying back to Xiamen (China) on Saturday to wait, since we work & live there most of the time.
Ninimo, good luck to you & hope you will have great news for us next week! hang in there girls, we will all get there soon!

Hi girls..
sigh.. BFN!! Just found out today! actually i am 4 days over due my period, so 4 days ago i already did a home pregnancy test, and then the day after and the day after.... and it was all Negative! did up to 4 tests! all negative! so i already guess it must be "-"

but i wondered why my period never came, as its always been on time! I found out at doc check up today, its due to the progesterone creams i been using since the IUI. They actually delay your periods... so he told me to stop using it now and then period should come back in 1-2 days! false hope!!

anyway back on the IUI board.. ready for IUI trial 2!!

how are you guys? any good news? blondy hows yr 2nd iui?

Good luck to us all!!

Hi ninimo,

sorry to hear that you didn't get a BFP this time! Don't give up, we will all get there soon.
My 2ww will be over this Friday, and will do the test, but I don't have any symptoms at all, kinda feel like its a NO...
well, my doctor didn't give me any progesterone cream, but I did have to take two shots during my 1st week after the IUI. I guess I should expect my period to be late as well even if I am not pregger.
I actually dread the day when I need to do the test, really afraid for the results. >_<
anyways, we shall see.
take care!

Impatiently, I ran out and bought 2 drugstore pregnancy tests. Did one 11 days and another 13 days after IUI. Both negative. So I guess it didn't work this time, though my period isn't here yet.
I never knew that progesterone cream could delay it. It is the one that is applied with a tampon-like thing?

hi Gracey & Splitting snow!
hang in there splittling snow. only afew more days to go!!
despite the wait really kills!

Gracey.... i was soo good as i didnt want to panic .. so i finally tested around day 27, period usually comes day 28!
but all negative!

yes doc confirmed with me.. these progesterone can actually delay yr period, as it protects the lining and the body thinks u are pregnant or something so no period ! but if u stop the cream then in 1-2 days it should come! i am waiting for mine now!

yes its the tampon look aliek thing.. bu with cream inside it! I also researched on line on forums and other girls also had delayed periods due to these progeesterone!!!

good luck girls!!

Well, Boo. My IUI didn't work. My doctor told me I was too fat. (5'1", 125 lbs) AND he told me to stop all exercise. Double boo. Well, I'm not going to lose weight without exercise, so maybe I'll stick to slow swimming.

Back on the Clomid, waiting for round 2...
Hope you girls have better luck!
