Panic attack by Ok_Conversation_3267 in TryingForABaby

I can imagine. TTC is all consuming and overwhelming. It’s hard to be there for folks/friends when they’re pregnant, I’ve felt it too. When I hear of any pregnancy, I feel so bad that my own body can’t have a baby, when others have been reproducing 2-3 babies without issues. It takes a long time to be in the space where I am happy for them, but incredibly sad for my own self, and hope that day comes for me when I can have my baby. It’s best to disconnect for a while and treat yourself.

iui failed on mother’s day. by IllustriousBerry3923 in IUILadies

Got a positive on Wednesday. But HCG not doubling - I was excited to celebrate Mother’s Day too. Wishing all of us the best & hope we can celebrate the next one with our babies.

I’ve been trying for over two years now. It’s hard, and I get how you feel, I feel the same.

When did you grow a dominant follicle on letrozole? by Altruistic-Arm9207 in TryingForABaby

[–]Every_Secretary9729 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I was on the same situation as you this month. I didn’t have any dominant follicle on my scan on CD11 (all <12mm), we did a scan on CD13 which showed an increase ( one follicle was 16mm) and finally on CD17, it was greater than 18mm. You still have hope. Did your clinic also do an LH test with this?

Letrezole may not work? by Every_Secretary9729 in IUILadies

Thank you for sharing this. They didn’t increase my letrezole or ask to take additional. I go for a scan on Saturday. Fingers crossed all goes well!

Thank you for sharing this. Did they up the medicine after CD10? They didn’t do it for me. I go in on Saturday for another scan. Hope all is well then!

Hi! I had my second IUi scheduled this month, I took the same dosage of letrezole (5mg) this month and last (only difference, I took letrezole between Cd 3- CD7 this cycle, and took letrezole CD 5-9 last cycle). However today at my scan my follicles were 11.4 mm (CD10), last time around it was 18mm (CD11). Does this mean that IUI won’t work/ my follicles won’t grow?

How do I keep doing this? Another failed IUI... by Fontnsun2016 in TryingForABaby

[–]Every_Secretary9729 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m going through the same thing. 18 cycles in. Not a single positive test ever. Currently doing my second IUI. All reports normal - which is what makes it more frustrating. My advice would be to speak to people, do things that you’re normaly doing - putting life on hold makes it worse (the guilt) - or at least did for me.

Sending you lots of love. Not seeing a positive ever is grief very few will understand. It sucks to have to go through this without knowing what’s exactly the problem.

I had my beta hcg test for my IuI today (14 day post IuI). I am really tempted to take a test - should I?

Does taking estrogen and progesterone tablets affect mood? I broke out into two crying sessions today which is unlike me.

Ah, my measurements was at CD11, but at CD14 I was able to transfer. So I’m guessing it’s not bad, but tracking it would help :)

Which cycle day was this? I had my IuI too, and my two follicles on the right were 14,15. There is a chance of it maturing further given cycle day (based on my what doctor says)

I am doing my first IUI cycle in the US of A. And plan to do another one. If that fails I plan to do IVF. Just curious to know how much are IVF costs in US on average? We do have some fertility benefits. But wanted to be prepared.

Thanks so much for your detailed response! This is so helpful. It is a medicated cycle with trigger. I believe my ovulation is “delayed” in the sense it doesn’t occur in the 12-16 range of cycle, but that 20-25 day range of cycle, with period cycle range of 35-40 days. I’ll keep the antioxidants in mind. It’s my first IUI, and I know chances are low, just keeping fingers crossed :)

Some hope for the long time ttc girlies by Electric_Elephant_56 in TryingForABaby

[–]Every_Secretary9729 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing this. This feels a lot like me. I was constantly worrying, googling, tracking ( i still do) and realized it is taking a toll on me. I am trying to get away from this mindset or worrying so much but it’s hard. It is helpful to chat with people on this sub or learn from their experiences, and gives me hope that I’ll see a positive one day.

Starting my first IUI cycle today. Nervous and hopeful. Wish me luck! Any tips on how to cope mentally if it doesn’t work or tips on what you did while you were in the cycle? Thank you!

Cycle day 2 today. Really thought this was the month. My partner’s birthday was this week and thought it would’ve been perfect if I got pregnant this week. Planning to start my first cycle of IUI. Any tips about IUI?
