Anybody cd2 of an IUI cycle?

Hey Julsbake -- I'm 6dpiui (my second one). Good luck to you -- I hope this is your cycle!

Thanks Christine...best wishes for a BFP! I bet you can't wait to test. When do you get a blood test? My Dr. won't do one until you miss AF.

Hi Juls, I'm on day 15. My IUI is Wednesday.

My doc won't do a blood test unless you're really late (but you have to go in for an appointment too) or there's a confirmed HPT and threatened miscarriage.

Hey there Melissa! Wow just one more day until you will be in the 2ww. Funny how when I'm in the 2ww I can't wait for it to be over but when I'm not in it I can't wait for it!!! LOL guess thats the nature of the beast! Best wishes and babydust for you....let me know how it goes!!

hi im new to this but i want to make some iui buddies that can share their experiences with me. I just did my first iui on sunday 8/24. i used clomid and the hcg shot... i am praying this will work. (baby dust to us all***) after i had my iui done, i started throwing up. has that happend to anyone before? i have also been feeling quezzy since then but i think its beacuse of the prenatals.

Hi all --

My beta (blood) test is scheduled for Sept. 4 unless I get my period first, when I would just cancel my test. Let's hope that doesn't happen. Anyway, I'd never make it until the blood test, so of course, I'll take a hpt this weekend and see what's up (if anything).

What were your post-wash sperm counts all?

I see my OB/GYN so they don't have teh equipment to do counts on washed sperm.... they'd have to send it to a lab (who happens to be in the building), but that would take time.

I'm going to start seeing a RE in October and I'm sure they'll do the counting pre-IUI. Hubby needs to be re-tested. He underwent a month-long course of antibiotics to get rid of some white blood cells and hopefully increase motility.

Hi there Jess! I know what you mean about the prenatals. They make me ill as well. I've never thrown up but they give me nausea and heartburn. I take the chewables because I'm a wimp who can't handle large pills.

My hubbies washed sperm count last time was 7 million and it was 6 million when I got pregnant with my son. They say 10-20 million is best but anything over 5 million is ok.

How many follies did you guys have?

I had to stop taking prenatals with my daughter too. It's the iron in them that makes ya feel so crappy. So, just make sure you get enough iron otherwise. I also liked taking Flintstones!

Try taking your vitamins with food. I took it without food and felt as sick as you all describe. With food did the trick!

yea i take them in the morning right after breakfast, and about an hour later i start feeling quesy, hopefully my body will adjust to them. when i did my iui my husbands sperm count was 27 mill, and 97 % motility.. what do you think the chances of me getting pregnant with numbers like that are? i did one round of clomid 100 mg, the hcg shot and had my iui done on sunday 8/24..

Wow, I think your chances are a lot better than mine!! 27M with 97% motility is GREAT. Best of luck to you. I bet you get your BFP. :)

Jess..your chances are good! That is a great sperm count! I will keep my fingers crossed for you!!!

Jess, you have fantastic counts. Let's just hope for a "sperm meets egg" thing! My IUI is in 3 hours, so I'm right there with ya!

thanks you guys.. i hope so. if this doesnt work then i guess it'll be time for round 2.. the doc has ruled out just about anything that might be wrong with me.. hsg/ us/ ect. no pcos. baby dust to us all. i will keep you guys posted. ya'll do the same.

Hei,

Your husband has great sperm.But I was wondering why do you need IUI? Most IUI is for male inferitlity.Could you pls tell me ? I will be on IUI next cycle. My husband has low quality sperm and one of my tube is blocked.

Baby Journey....

IUI can also be done for hostile cervical mucus too.

Yes, we had a VERY poor result from that test they do after you BD! Hardly any sperm were alive. Good luck on

your IUI Melissa!!!!!

Im not sure why they did an iui, the doc recomended it so i did. i guess it was to give them a boost to reach the egg. I know they put me on clomid and the hcg shot.. to help me ovulate. so my guess is i was not ovulating on my own. i just hope it works. good luck with your iui melissa.

I start my Clomid tomorrow. Any suggestions as to what time of day is best to take it? I can't remember what time of day I took it when trying to conceive my son. Plus I'm a little nervous since I will be taking double the dosage as back then. I remember it making me PMSish.

How did your IUI go Melissa? What were the sperm numbers?

Hey Christine...I see you are scheduled for your beta on the 4th. I am scheduled for my first u/s for follicle study that day. Can't wait to see if I can get multiple follies on my good side.

Juls.

Since I'm seeing OB/GYN, they don't actually run a S/A in house, so all I know is that numbers were "down" and that white blood cells showed up again.

My OB asked us to make hub a followup appointment with urology. Hub took a month of doxycycline. He told us it could take up to 3 months to work. So, we'll see on Friday at the appointment.

The IUI itself went fine. I really like my doc... actually, I have a crush on him! He's sooo cute! It's actually the first time I've had a male GYN since high school! But, he was the one on staff the weekend I was on hospital bedrest and had my daughter. So, I kinda got to know him a little bit thru the delivery process.

Hey Julsbake -- oh good, let's stay in touch about how our appts go. GOOD LUCK TO YOU!! :)

I was on hospital bedrest with my son as well. I went into pre-term labor at 31 weeks. I was in the hospital for 3 weeks and home bedrest for just under 3 weeks. In the hospital I was on magnesium sulfate and terbutaline and had a terb pump when I came home. My son was born at 36 1/2 weeks. He was totally healty and is turning 3 in Sept. Funny...my first male GYN experience was with the Dr. on staff that night I went in for preterm labor. Turns out he was my OB/GYN's back up and she was on vacation in CA so he treated me for about a week. No crush though...old dude from the pacific islands...real nice though.

LOL Juls....

Mag sulfate.... I was on that when I was on hospital bedrest with Mia.... I had an advanced form of pre-eclampsia called HELLP syndrome.

Did you also have pre-eclampsia?
