Maybe - that would be extremely nice...........

Glad to see everyone has those months - this weekend / first part of this week has been hard - I don't know what exactly triggered my thoughts but just done with it mentally. And i know we've not even hit the year mark so sounds kind of preemptive but just want our "normal" routine back.

Hey girls....
I am on CD 5. Started injectables on CD 3. Last round it took 10 days to get my follies to grow. I hope this time it doesn't take as long. Hopefully this will be our month!

This will be my first try with IUI, I am on cd2 today. Start my injections tonight. 225iu of Follistim and also 10 units of Novarel. I will go in on Tuesday 7:30am for my first round of blood and u/s.
Never been through this before, so I don't know what to expect, but I hope that it goes well.
Not looking forward to two shots in my stomach every night, but will be worth it in the end if we have a little peanut of our own
Good luck to all of you this month.http://www.sheknows.com/graphics/emo...eerleader3.gif

I am on right in the middle of the 2WW. I will get my beta done on the 19th. It's been a really weird cycle for me so far. -Put off starting meds until CD 8 due to a business trip. Started them then went for an u/s before I left. Had potentially four so while in Phoenix, had to drive to Scottsdale for a u/s. They only saw 2 so they had me do 2 more days of 75 iu menopure. Went to my re for and u/s and bloodwork and had 4. They wanted to cancel my cycle due to my history, but luckily the b/w was ok so I triggered and did iui last Sunday. I am hoping that with all that has gone wrong this cycle, something will finally go right. Good luck all, this is so hard.

Well it certainly wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. The nice thing is, when they did the lap, around the incision it is still numb, so I have DH give shots in that area cheating a little, but it's all good.
So I have had three days worth so far, will go in on Tuesday and see how many follies I have then, hopefully some lookers! I will keep you all updated, thanks for all of the support. It really helps alot to know I am not going through this alone. I am the only one in my family that has had any fertility issues, the rest of my family are like rabbits LOL. So I appreciate all the support!

I'm new to the board. Dh and I have been TTC #1 for almost 4 years, we've previously done Clomid and Femara and have now moved onto IUI. Last cycle we did clomid, hcg trigger shot, with timed intercourse with no luck. This cycle we did the clomid, hcg trigger shot with the IUI. My u/s on Thursday showed 4 very good follicles, so we did the trigger shot on Thursday night and we had the IUI yesterday at 10:00am, so now we're in the tww.

It's great to find this board and to know others are in the same boat as us. Good luck to all of you!

I'm new to this, so excuse my inexperience. This is my first post.

My husband and I have been TTC for 10 years. I'm 37. We are now doing IUI with donor sperm. I just had my second IUI 4 days ago. No medications, just follie studies and an hcg shot. I had one 23 mm follie. We did two IUI's. On the 2ww now and very anxious.

Hey everyone. I'm not in the running this month but I just wanted to say "Good Luck" to everyone. Hopefully I'll be able to do another IUI in July. I just started my first period this week since the D&C. Never thought I'd be so happy to get it but I can't wait to get back to the point where we can actively start trying again. My RE says we have to wait 2 cycles before we can try an IUI with the 3rd cycle. Anyways, hopefully I'll be joinging you all then. But hopefully you will all have your BFP's by then and not be doing IUIs!
