Over 40 and trying IUI. Any experience to share?

Tue, 18 Nov 2008 12:46:11 -0600

Hey Ladies. I am new to FT and I love it! The last few days I have been reading up on lots of posts regarding fertility issues.

First of all, let me give hope to all those 35+ ttc. I got pregnant with my first when I was 40. It ended in miscarriage but within 2 months I was pregnant again and had an awesome baby girl who is now 20 months. We have been trying for #2 and are having difficulty. We went to see a RE and I did the clomid challenge and all of my levels came back good. They also did an ultrasound and saw I had 5 follicles in each ovary. Again, according to the doc, a good sign.

So I think we will try IUI. I would appreciate any past experience, good or not so good. Thanks a bunch!

Funny story I HAD to share!!!!

Tue, 04 Nov 2008 09:40:37 -0600

Ok so hubby and I were just talking about some stuff on the phone, and how im all freaking out that people will want to take Noah all the time, mainly his parents. Anyways I was saying well so long as breastfeeding goes well, he cant really go anywhere without me for a couple months, since apparently he will be attached to this boob thing...haha. Then it hit me!

You know how men LOVE boobs, its just there nature. Well no freaking wonder, from basically the second they are born, they get introduced to this boob, and its like the are destined to love it for life...haha!

Anyways it was soo funny, we were both just laughing so hard, because when you think about it, its true.

Sorry had to share :)

Please Welcome Tyson Seth Sierens and Tessa Nicole Sierens!!!

Sun, 19 Oct 2008 18:26:52 -0500

Hey ladies!! First of all thank you all so much for the love and support you have given me! I am so touched by the posts on here that it makes me cry. You ladies are like family to me and you dont know how much it means to have you here for us.

My labor story goes as follows. On Tuesday October 14th I went in for my 36 week check up. My blood pressure was high so my doctor decided that she would induce me the next morning. On Wednesday October 15th they started an Oxytocin drip around 12:30 p.m. The contractions I was getting weren't painful at all. I was checked around 7:00 p.m. and I was at 3-4 cm which wasn't really a change because I was 3 cm to begin with.

At this point they decided to break my first water because they were having a hard time tracking both babies heartbeats at once due to where they were positioned. The doctor thought that by breaking my water they would be able to place a heartbeat monitor right on the lower babie's head (Tyson).

After they broke my water all hell broke loose. My contraction immediately began to happen every minute or so then they were rolling on top of one another. They were quite painful. It took until 9:00 for them to get me an epidural. The epidural once in was amazing from there on out I never really experienced pain from the contractions. They checked me at 9:30 and I was at 7cm already. I got checked again at 11:45 and I was at 9cm. At this point they turned down the pitocin a little and let me get some rest. I slept until about 1:30 a.m. or so. When I woke up the vaginal/anal pressure was very very intense. The doctor checked me at 2:00 and I was ready to push. They told me that they thought seeing it was my first pregnancy that it make take up to 2 hours of pushing. They wanted me to deliver in a operating room just in case an emergency C-section would need to take place but decided to let me start pushing in my laboring room. After 2 pushes they told me to stop and they rushed us into the operating room. I felt everything with him but it wasnt as painful as I thought it would be. Within a few more pushes Tyson was born (2:25 a.m.) weighing in at 4 lbs 15 oz. Next they froze me a little more because Tessa had turned and they thought a c-section might be necessary. The doctor reached in and was looking for a foot. Finally she found it and with me pushing she delivered her feet first. She was born at 2:31 a.m. and weighed in at 5 lbs 4 oz. Within a total of 10 mins both were born.

Afterwards they stitched me up. I only had 2 stitches internally and that was it. I have had hardly bleeding and am feeling really good.

Both babies were brought to NICU to be observed for 4 hours but were then sent down to be with us.

We were discharged yesterday just over 48 hours later. Both Tessa and Tyson are doing great and we are just so happy to be home. We feel blessed to have had such a positive experience. We love them so much. I can't believe how much how much they touch my heart. I have never felt a love like this before.

Here are some photos for you!

Just had my 2nd IUI...any IUI success stories? I need some hope!

Thu, 31 Jul 2008 22:39:11 -0500

I am new to fertility ties and have already found it so encouraging. My DH and I have been TTC #1 for 2 years. We recently began the journey of IUIs! We actually just did our 2nd one on Tuesday so I'm in the dreaded 2ww! My day 21 progesterones have been a little low, but other than that I am in the clear. DH has very low sperm count and motility, though. Anyone have success stories of male infertility and IUI? I'd love to hear them! **Lots and lots of baby dust to us all!**

success with iui ?

Sat, 26 Jul 2008 12:47:51 -0500

I am new to fetility ties and have been really encouraged by reading all of the support you give to each other through all of your discussions. My husband and I have been ttc for over a year now and I have been diagnosed w/ PCOS. I have tried 6 rounds of Clomid up to 200mg and have been taking metformin and using ovidrel with no luck. This month coming we are finally trying injectables-menopur with iui. I am wondering if anyone has had success with this? I will continue the metformin and ovidrel too.

Ladies who got pregnant with clomid!

Sun, 06 Jul 2008 02:42:08 -0500

How many rounds did it take you to get pregnant! I had a BFN with my first round and I am kind of discouraged! I need some inspiration! I do ovulate on my own and am taking clomid as a boost!

Kaylee Dane and Presley Kate have arrived!

Wed, 02 Jul 2008 17:15:51 -0500

Well I've tried to login for a while but we've had our hands full!!! Our girls arrived Friday June 27th. I went in for a doctors check and was 5cm / 95% effaced so I walked over to the hospital (which was ready for us) and we delivered via c-section.

What can i say - it's so amazing to finally have them here.

Kaylee 6.1 lbs Presley 5.11 lbs both are doing wonderfully and yesterday's doctors visit went great.

the c-section went perfect. my husband looked like a deer in headlights - haha he did great though. we got amazing pics of them pulling the girls out.

kaylee has a full head of brown hair and presley has a little receding hairline and also brown. not sure where the brown came in b/c hubby and i both natural blondes (now i choose to keep it that way).

i will send more info soon but need to take care of the girls - i will post some pics as soon as i can.

wishing you all the best and cannot wait to catch up on everyone.

i'm so on cloud9 and couldn't be happier - this site helped make my blessing come true.
