IUI/SO-IUI: Anyone?

[dian_tang]

Ya Claris, I also think so . The first time I put 4 scoops of ensure milk , Yummy .today I use 3 scoops .. Taste funny . But I dun drink everyday , scared too Heaty
As for longan and red dates drink, I only boil for 15 mins le , is it sufficient? Then instead of just drink it plain, I put together with 汤圆。

Saralyn,

Think the herb is Dang Gui.

Mine about $700 for IUI and scan on the day.
Day 12 scan and Ovidrel is $170.

 

[nurzehra]

Thanks Sara.

Dian_tang, do u think it's like any of a positive symptom? Haiz, 2ww is so stressful..

 

[jessbear78]

Hi Saralyn,

Don't be anxious. The best is yet to come. Everyone is different so different signs. Researched a little on the net for signs but guess nothing is more accurate than the pregnancy test, so stay tuned.

I was just telling hubby that scans, iui and medicine after iui is easily 1k without all the jabs and pills. Guess if this round fails then restart the cycle. But next month he is traveling so don't think can try.

Does anyone here feels the pain when doing iui?

 

[jessbear78]

Need to prepare the sperm too right? Not mentioning the supplements to ensure quality of sperm. Anyway hubby wasn't disciplined in eating the pills. 1st doc said quality and quantity not good. This result after preparation, the dox said results good then he continued to eat everyday. So now making sure he eats in case need again. Cos think probably need to eat for a period for effectiveness?

 

[jessbear78]

Hi Shirley,

We are partners... M also in dpiui6... Did ur doc give u any medicine to take?

 

[freakoley]

Jessica: Yes my gynae given me utrogestan pills to be taken 3 x daily. We are having the same cycle.. =)

Dragon, Saralyn & Peggy:
How come ur IUI so expensive? I paid my gynae $250 for the procedure and $42 for the catheter plus e medicine & GST i total paying $398 to the clinic. As for my hubby side we pay $224.70 for thawing and sperm washed.

 

[saralyn]

Jessica: ya.. My friends told me so too. But what I having now is my typical pms.. Anyway, am being very positive! No see red means got hope!

let us all Jia you together!

Shirley: how come yours so cheap? Can let me know who is you gynea? Maybe will want to change.. Mine is really quite exp.

 

[dian_tang]

Hi Tuli, when does u have the discharge? After how many hrs after you insert the tablet?
The nurse ask me to clear my bowel first then insert the tablet thru the rectal or insert the tablet and wait for 1 or 2 hours before clearing bowel.

 

[dian_tang]

Actually the gadget that they used dur the sperm iui procedure is the same as those used for pap smear. So just relax , take a deep breath and everything would be over in a short while.

 

[jessbear78]

Shirley, do u store your husband's sperm? Do u know how much is storing?

 

[jessbear78]

Yes saralyn don't give up till we see red and confirm. Just relax and I m sure, we would be rewarded for our patience.

I am also eating duphaston 2 times a day. M very forgetful so forgot to eat twice... Do u take folic acid? My friends ask me take but doc didn't prescribe...

 

[jessbear78]

Thank dian tang... I feel that it is very painful... So m keeping my fingers crossed if I needed to do another round. Doc was very nice, ask my husband to wait in case I want to scream. The nurses r also very encouraging. Else I think I would freak out even more.

 

[dian_tang]

Jessica, u have to take folic acid .

You can purchase from pharmacy, i bought 100 tablets for 4 plus at unity pharmacy

 

[dian_tang]

jessica, what supplements did ur HD taking now? my HD is taking only supplements , dunno what else can he take.

 

[dragon12]

Jessica,

I felt the pain too. Doc said my cervix is tight. Think I too worried/scared. By right no pain de. Lol. Must relax then easy.

Folic acid is advisable to take even before ttc.

 

[freakoley]

Saralyn : I can PM u. But u dun accept PM.

Jessica: U mean B4 my IUI? Anyway on my 3day of menses my hubby started to produce his semen every 3 days to freeze at CARE then on e actual day produce e fresh 1 den thaw e rest n washed together.

 

[saralyn]

Shirley: thanks alot! I have enabled my pm.

 

[piggy_peggy]

Morning all.

just did my scan. My follicle today at CD15 is only 12mm. It was 8mm two days ago. So the growth rate is only 1mm per day, despite me eating two chicken eggs every day. Sigh... What should I do?

 

[piggy_peggy]

Sorry, 8mm four days ago.

 

[mrswee_wk]

dian tang, i boiled red dates longan 1.5 hrs. if wan thicker can boil 2 hrs. and i will cut all red date into half, better effects. i use big fire once boiled turn to small fire cook for 1.5 hrs.

i think if 15 mins maybe e drink cant fully absorb e nutrition of red dates wor.. normally we boil chicken soup or other soup we will boil for 2 hrs and more right..

peggy, dont despair.. what did ur gynae said? gynae sure can do something to help e follicles to grow right? how many follicles do u have? if e others can reach e ideal size then good enough, just need 1 egg and 1 sperm ma.. dont lose hope be positive!

 

[mrswee_wk]

shirley, u r doing ur IUI at CARE? can PM u?

 

[piggy_peggy]

Claris, gynae only say that they will see the growth in two days time. One 12 mm one 11mm. I'm tired... Sigh... Even the news of small follicle size makes me feel sad and tired of ttc. This time is natural IUI with no injection. Gynae don't give anything to help the follicle growth. Sigh...

 

[mrswee_wk]

peggy, stay positive! dont give up! maybe ur gynae think that urs r still reasonable condition for doing IUI at later date. my gynae said as long as ovulate before CD20 like latest CD18 or CD19 e follicles are still not so bad. as it is normal that some people ovulate late and e cycle is longer right as long as got good eggs good lining. have faith!

 

[piggy_peggy]

Claris... I don't know what to do now. I'm emotionally tired.

 

[saralyn]

Peggy: Don't be stress over it.. Stress will just make our hormones go haywired.. be positive and take a step at a time and see what to do...

 

[freakoley]

Hi Claris,
Nope I not doing IUI at Care just e sperm freezing, sperm thawing & sperm washed being done there.
The rest of e procedure done by my gynae.

 

[piggy_peggy]

Thanks to all of you for the support. My boss has been quite supportive also in allowing me to take time off more than my applied leave. In that sense, I feel that I am blessed.
Yes, I have to be POSITIVE!!! Jia you!

 

[mrswee_wk]

ladies, yest i jab bleeding again, how to avoid that? i hold e pen 90 degree to my skin still bleeding. could it be im slow in removing e needle from skin thats y e blood flow out?

 

[saralyn]

Peggy: yup.. Be positive.. One day we will not be a mother of our own children..

Regarding folic acid, yes, you have to take it. I have been taking since I started ttc. My gynea is always reminding me to take folic..

 

[dian_tang]

Thks clarins ! I try again

 

[ebony]

Hi Peggy, dun worry.. Gradual growth is better. I had too many big eggs during my first try. Doc didn't want to go ahead with iui.. Money and time wasted. Now have to wait till my menses before trying again. Sigh.

 

[piggy_peggy]

Hi Hope, why did your Doc do not want to go ahead with ur IUI when there are good big follicles? That is strange.

 

[emily_tey]

Dian, I have changed my appointment date to 9 Apr.

Claris, so scary, lots of blood flow out? i want to ask the nurse to demo once again for u or not?

 

[nurzehra]

Hi Dian,
I will have discharge like 2 or 3 days once . Yeah I googled it may be from the progesterone pills.

Today is 15dpiui, still negative. I feel like I'm out of the game already.
Do you ladies think should move on to ivf instead of doing iui again?

 

[mrswee_wk]

hope, i also dont understand why ur gynae didnt go ahead with IUI since there are many good big follicles?

emily, its not alot just like size of a green bean but lesser than e 1st time i did. e nurse did it totally no blood. ><

 

[saralyn]

claris: is ok to have abit of blood one. Just use the alcohol swipe place it over and add a bit of pressue down..

tulipcinta: sorry to hear that.. I also thinking to move on to IVF or doing IUI again..

Im 14dpiui. Got no courage to test at all.. My BBT is still high this morning. Hopefully it will be still high for tomorrow..

 

[nurzehra]

Sara, bbt means basal body temperature is it?
My temp has been increasing.. Now it's like 37.5..
Does it mean anything?

 

[saralyn]

tulipcinta: yup.. BBT remains high is a good thing. It can mean pregnancy.. Wait for afew more days and test again.. BTW, your BBT, 37.5, is very high!! I have never reach so high before..

 

[emily_tey]

saralyn, HOPE YOUR BBT HIGH from tomorrow onwards !! hah ?

Tulipcinta, your BBT 37.5?! what is your usual BBT when u not ovulate? high BBT is sign of pregnancy, if your temperature continue at high end from ovulate day to D18 onwards.

My BBT very low one, after ovulate only hit like 36.78, usual days will be ard 36.3 + or 36.4 +.

 

[emily_tey]

anyone here eat pineapple core when preparing for pregnancy?

 

[saralyn]

emily: Thanks!!! Yes... PLS... My BBT.. Remain HIGH HIGH for the next 9 months!!!

Is your BBT considered low? I thought that is the usual range? My pre o will be arond 36.3-36.6 and post will be 36.6-37..

 

[nurzehra]

Hi ladies,

My normal temp is ard 36.5 to 36.6.. Since ovulation, it's been going up and down , highest to 37.1 only..

These two days only my temp increased from 37 to current now 37.5..

U girls are giving me hope but based on hpt, I'm negative ley..

 

[mrswee_wk]

emily, im going to try this cycle of IUI. cant eat too much as pineapple is 'liang' food, only 5 days. i read somewhere one pineapple cut e core out into 5 pieces, starting from e 1st day of IUI, eat 1 piece everyday for consecutively 5 days.

 

[saralyn]

tulipcinta: Hm.. based on your BBT, it looks promising.. Wait for a few more days and if your BBT still remains high, test again..

 

[ebony]

Hi Peggy,
The reason the doc gave is that i have too many big eggs which may result to multiple pregnancy and she was not talking about twins. Can be 4 or 5. But i felt it was really wasted.

 

[mrswee_wk]

hope, its really wasted. normally gynae will just proceed as maybe only 2-3 follicles are able to successfully implant and develop. if really all of them able to make it, they can do selective reduction after they access e risk also can choose not to do..

 

[emily_tey]

Claris, I think I also read the same site as u

but I am thinking, really that helpful? only start eating for that 5 days will work? Thats why I am thinking if can start eating like 1 week twice (just the core part) to build up the lining?

 

[freakoley]

Hi Hope,

for my case i having 6 follicles on my left &amp; 5 follicles on my right, exclude those cant be seen due to being blocked by those big ones.
My gynae also scare i may get multiples too tat y he lapse 1 day to inj me ovidrel den IUI next day.
He explained that lapse 1 day without menogen those eggs wont grow or perhaps some may die off.
Its really a waste for not doing this cycle. =(

 

[ladybrynn]

Hi ladies!

Just this day, I went to see the doctor &amp; He said that I should undergo SO-IUI, since i was diagnosed with pcos and had 2 failed pregnancies on clomid, he gave me meds to induce my menses and will return on day 2 of menses for blood test.

I just want to know your advise or opinions since this is my first time to undergo this procedure...
