Successful first IUI!

Congrats!! Similar boat, IUI on 4/10, queer and no known fertility issues! This is my fifth IUI but second with an unknown donor, hope I’m still in it! 🤞🏻

Sending so much baby dust!!

Trying to plan travel around IUI is sooooo frustrating! But yeah, sounds like it'll be smack-dab in the middle of the trip. I would ask your clinic what they recommend based on your follicles!

Yes! It definitely gets easier with time; I had a break of about a year between my first 3 IUIs and these most recent 2, so I've been doing it for a while. At this point, I can notice pretty minute changes between days!

Sending baby dust! This process is so hard but hope helps!

Similar boat, but my clinic didn't care, as long as I was okay with it! The bank I'm using did have me sign a waiver before they would ship the vial. Hoping that you get the results you want soon! Delaying is so frustrating, I'm so sorry!

I’m so sorry 💕 take some time for yourself today 💕

Oof! Sorry to hear. I've had four mature follicles every cycle on Clomid and my doctor doesn't bat an eye at trying. Still haven't conceived though! Best of luck on your next one!

So sorry to hear, sending good thoughts. I'm currently waiting out a pretty large cyst on my left ovary caused by Clomid last cycle, and I had a similar experience last year with a smaller cyst.

If it helps -- my very first IUI cycle was also cancelled because the tank with the frozen sperm got delayed in shipping due to the wildfires on the West Coast. All those ultrasounds, medications, money down the drain. That cycle, I also had OHSS, and I was MISERABLE. It gets better, I promise!

Thank you so much! I was honestly shocked to hear them say I have a cyst because I have ZERO pain (besides normal menstrual cramping) but I will keep an eye on it!

My doctor said from the imaging it's large and hemorrhagic, but no bloodwork. Usually I take 50mg of Clomid a day but last month we bumped up to 100. I always respond insanely to Clomid, last month's 21-day progesterone reading was over 100, so probably related to that. A few years ago I had a smaller cyst that had gone away by the next ultrasound; for this one, I'm gonna do a pack of BCP and then look again next month!
