IUI/SO-IUI: Anyone?

10/4 hcg 143,8,
12/4 : 310,2
14/4 579,5

The 2nd to the 3rd is less than doubled.... So now a bit worried.... He asked me to check again tml. Hope it will increasing a lot.... Now i'm taking 3 pills a day, will ask him if i need to increase....

Thank u for the info ann ;)
 


bbbb: You can try to think of something that'll help to distract yourself.. Or like what ann and lil ponyo said, can try another gynae.. I was actually more comfortable with my 2nd gynae.. He could see that i was tense when he did a scan on my 1st visit.. He talked to me so much and asked me so many thinking questions until i had no chance to think about the discomfort.. Haha..

Ann: I agree with you about being more brave as we move along.. When my hubby and i first started going for help on fertility, i was so afraid i couldn't go through with it.. I'm timid and so scared of needles and scans.. But i learnt to deal with it at every stage.. When i went thru my miscarriage 2 wks ago, i developed a bit of phobia of transvaginal checks.. I stayed in hospital for observation and for 4 days.. Doctors did finger checks and scans for me few times a day.. I had the speculum put on me 3-4 times a day.. I felt so sore and in so much pain.. But i tell myself i got through it.. And it keeps me going..
 
thanks for all the encouragement. this gynae knows all my problems now..
if i go to another gynae, means i have to start all over again..
i'm really shy to see another gynae.
 
San2: Your figures look quite familiar to me. I think mine also abit like yours. Dun worry.. you will be fine with Dr Fong.

min81: Yeah.. every experience we get and went through.. they will not weaken us but strengthen us. Last time when I need to draw blood or injection, I can scream down the clinic. Now.. I just feel numb le. ^_^
 
Depressed gal: San2 is preggy so the gynae will measure her hcg. For me, I am just sharing with her on my hcg level when I preggy with #1. After IUI, gynae will not measure hcg until you are confirmed pregnant. Sorry for the confusion.
 
hi ladies. I was on this forum a few months ago after my first IUI. Unfortunately the next two failed. I recently had for third IUI and now in 2ww. After this moving on IVF.

Good luck to everyone here and baby dust!
 
Hi ladies, I'm new to this forum. Have been a silent reader for a few weeks.

i have been ttc #1 for 1.5 yrs now, tried TCM, went for HSG (partial blockage on left tube), went thru 2 cycles of unmedicated IUI but failed, n am now in the 2ww of my 3rd IUI (unmedicated, but with ovidrel trigger shot). DH's troops a bit marginal, count is good, motility is average, but morphology only 2%. Really hope for a miracle this month.

All the best to the ladies here!
 
Hi Piky,

I have pretty regular cycles, abt 30-33 days each month, so usually my gynae ask me to come in on CD12 to measure my follicle size. So far they range from 14mm to 16mm on CD12 for the past few months (i only have 1 every month). She will then ask me to test on the OPK from day 14 onwards, and once i detect a LH surge on the Clearblue Digital OPK, i will go in for an IUI the next day morning. For my this 3rd cycle, because she thinks i'm likely to ovulate on Sunday, she got me to inject myself with the trigger shot on Thurs midnight, n do the IUI on Sat morning. Hopefully, this is the magic trick that get me a positive.

9DPO today, n zero symptoms. Not looking good, but still hoping for the best anyway!
 
Oh I hate the 2WW! It is horrible. Time passes so slowly and although I try not to, I end up obsessing about all kinds of things such as boobs sore or not, type of discharge, pulling sensation in womb, ache here, ache there! Argh! I even tried to distract myself by going for haircut, facial, manicure, etc and get my life organised like clearing my wardrobe, my photos, etc. Have you ladies have this problem?

Jen, what is PM? Sorry, so sua ku.
 
Lil Ponyo, oh yes, i used to obsess abt every tinge of boobs soreness, every possible hint of nausea, every slightest twitch in my womb area too. Until i realised if i look hard enough, i can feel all these symptoms in my CD1-14 too when i can't possibly be pregnant. So now i try not think too much abt any symptoms. Easier said than done though, hehe.
 
Ya and sometimes I feel that it's a cruel joke of nature to make pregnancy symptoms the same as AF symptoms ;)
Oh well...
Baby dusts to all the ladies on 2ww.
I just rubbed my friend's pregnant belly for good luck today! Ha ha!
 
Good morning ladies... So many posts.. Was very busy for the past few days thus never post but I did read them before I go zz.. Hope you all still remember me..

I saw afew newcomers! Welcome to this thread!

I also in my 2ww now. Day 9 on my progesterone pills to regulate my hormones.. Hoping my period will come on time after I finish these pills. Can't wait to try hard for next cycle!

Those in 2ww.. All the best ya.. And I agreed this 2ww is so cruel.. I also used to wonder is every small little thing I feel the pregnancy symptoms!? I do suspect that the more we want to get pregnant the more signs we will have in our 2ww..

Those waiting for their ovalution and do iui, may your eggs grow big big and healthy!!
 
Hi saralyn, you're back to work already right.. Must be busy.. Remember not to get stressed and rest and relax lots
happy.gif


Going back to work next week, back to all the hustle and bustle, not sure i'm looking forward to it that much.. Haha.. Hey can i get some advice from the ladies here.. What are the 'bu' stuff we can take to help get our body stronger for fertility and conception? I read on another forum this lady uses black dates, red dates and longans in a thermos flask and fill up with hot water and it's ready to drink when she reaches wk.. Tot it's a pretty good idea cos will be busy when wking..
 
I agree. The 2ww is torturous for me. I don't even mind the time leading up to ovulation but somehow I manage to drive myself crazy during the 2ww. I also over analyze things - looking for every symptom and sign. I also usually test really early and so this time, I've decided not to test and just wait till AF shows. It's going to be tough but I'm holding myself to it!
 
I try not to think much during the 2ww. Dun wanna be disappointed big time if AF comes. So I spend my time on new food recipe and baking recipe. It took up so much of my time that I hardly had the time to think about anything else. Hehe!!

Show you all my latest creation last night.. occupy 4 hours of time and by the time I am done, I am damn sleepy le.

Maybe you all should try to find new interests to distract yourself. ^_^

May your day be as sweet as my mango mousse cake.

Wow Ann ur cake looks delicious

Min81: I read before that wolf berry, longan n red dates can help

I oso agreed that 2ww is torturing as I'm in 2ww and 2ml will be my 14dpiui but wonder shall I test it or shall I just wait n c hw it goes coz afraid of breaking down at d results
 
Hi ladies I am back. MIA as I was spotting since 4 Apr and was so scared of ectopic or blighted ovum. Blood test shows i have low progesterone which can increase risk of MC...choy...

Have been resting mostly, even at work i try to not work around. 1st scan at 5 week show sac in womb. Although relieved, i was still scared as I continued spotting and had no pregnancy symptoms at all. Finally scan yesterday reveal heartbeat of embryo. More hopeful now but doc say until 26 May 12 weeks then can consider safe.

Dun be too stress by your 2WW as now i realise after the 2WW there are many more ?WW, i am now waiting for next scan in 2 weeks to make sure heartbeat still strong and embryo is growing in size.

Meanwhile baby dust to all and sticky dust to me!
 
Wow Ann!! Your cakes looks professional! This is so impressive!

Do you ladies exercise during the 2WW?

I take ginseng occasionally to 'bu' my body and my husband takes cordycep. I just walked into the chinese herbal store in chinatown and asked the lady there for recommendations.
 
Hi lil olive, glad to hear you've seen the heartbeat.. Take good care k.. You're still wking? The gynae did not give you mc?

Hi lil ponyo, can i check is it american or korean ginseng? Cos i think they're different..
 
Ann, cake look yummy. May I have a slice?
happy.gif


Olive, all will be fine. Jia you!!

Ponyo, light exercise is fine. Most impt, listen to your body. I'm still doing hatha yoga in my 2ww.
 
Min81/Dragon, thank you for encouragement. Doc did offer but my job can just sit dun really need to walk around. Weekends I totally stay home other than meals. I am also having jabs 2-3 times a week. Nurse say my buttock area became stiff due to the jabs but no choice.

I ask my gynae he also say many type on ginsengs not every type is good so must ask the medical hall person.
 
i heard korean ginseng is very heaty. if your body is of the heaty kind, try not to take too much korean ginseng.
 
Actually i going to consult my gynea about IUI. As i M/C last DEC am wanted to get pregnant soon and have been ttc for the past few mth and no news at all. Wanted to try out IUI if the chances of getting pregnant is high cos my HB is having stress with his work (i know stress with affect the quality) and we have been quarrel bcos of baby cos when i test opk(+) or CBFM(peak) he will feel stress and now we got a prob BD.

sorry i need a place to tok as i don noe who to tok to...
 
Hi dragon, thanks.. Ya think i'll go to eu yan sang and ask.. Don't think i'll be going for tcm though.. Probably just take those more usual herbs to strengthen the body before ttc again..

Hi lil ponyo, i guess i'm more of the play safe type.. Din do any exercise during 2ww.. Cos for my job, i gotta rush up and down the stairs of 4 storeys probably 10-15 times a day.. Was already trying to be as careful as i could.. Maybe light stretching exercises shld be fine.. But i think best not to exert too much..
 
piky, thats what we are here for
happy.gif
to release our thoughts freely. IUI actually solve the BD stress for me and my HB too. I regret not knowing about it earlier! I actually found out reading this forum
 
Lil Olive i also know IUI thru forum if IUI really can solve my prob i don mind try this for my next cycle as i really sick of it quarreling with him. And my fren all getting pregnant and i have to pretend nothing happen when i face her i feel very "Xin Ku" see her tummy getting bigger or telling me her baby inside moving really wanna bang my head to the wall...
 
Good luck saralyn... So fast u r in ww2. Hope to hear good news soon.

Ladies can I ask if u can do hsg in the month you intend to do iui?thanks
 
Peggy: I got my recipe from this link, http://allthatmatters2rei.blogspot.com/2009/04/mango-mousse-cake.html. You can try it if you are into baking. Moreover, it is mango season now. So mango cheap cheap and sweet sweet.

Depressed gal: Hope my cake can lighten up your mood too.

bbbb: It looks sweet but then doesn't taste that sweet. Wonder is it the baking make the mango lose its sweetness. But all my colleagues say sweetness is just nice.

Dragon: Haha!! Wish I can send a slice to you too. Maybe when technology is more advance. Haha!! For now, maybe can just try to imagine the taste by looking at the cake.

Lil Olive: Don't worry. Your situation also like me. I spot and bleed throughout my pregnancy for #1. As long as you believe in your body and your baby, everything will be fine. Think positively.

piky: Understand the stress you are going through. I am going through it myself too with hubby. BD sometime also tough for us cause now it feels like a job. Now I am trying for #2, my fellow July mummies getting preggy one by one and yet I still no news.. can get a little frustrated but still need to act like everything is ok.
 
Hi girls! So mad, been having computer troubles. Today at work every time I refresh no new message, then tonight tried to post twice but Ipad hang...

Ann that cake looks amazing! Wow you really did it. Yummy. I used to love baking cake and all kinds of bread too, but ever since I discovered I have PCOS and should cut down on carbs..all out of the window. Now, trying to learn how to make good whole wheat breads that my hubby will eat. He loves oily carb heavy unhealthy food :S

Lil Ponyo, PM is private message! Yours is turned off so I can't message you.

Saralyn, all the best for your 2WW! Think lots of positive thoughts!
 
Hi Min81, you know I'm actually not sure which ginseng it is. The lady at the Chinese herbal store recommended it. It was ginseng and other herb grinded into powder for easy consumption. I only take them when I remember so I'm not that discipline. Ya, I do ease off on my exercise during 2ww. Just walk on treadmill and weekly yoga.

Hi Olive, loads of sticky wonderful dusts to you! Take care! You have a very good point about the ?ww once pregnant. It never occurred to me because I have not thought beyond getting pregnant! Ha!

Hi Jen, I've enabled my PM! Let me try to PM you!
 
Ann: That is really a very nice cake! looks so professional..

Jen & Jessica: ya.. so fast right? Anyway, no good news for me for this month.. My hormones are abit crazy.. was put on some pills to regulate it.. Anyway, I will work hard for next month..

Jen: Sorry to hear that.. I know I am abit late.. No time to catchup on posts for the past few days.. =) Anyway, don't give up.. can try tcm.. I am thinking of trying too to regulate my hormones...
 
I have problem finding this thread too. Had to search through browser history to get here. Has this happen before?

Jen: Yeah.. I really did it. Maybe you can research on cake recipe that is low on carb and low fat if possible. I think alot of girls here would love to have such recipe... hehe!!

Saralyn: Thanks for the compliment. But I think it will be a long long time before i do it again.. too time consuming. Haha!!

Last few months, I will always have pregnancy symptoms before my menses come. But now I dun feel anything at all. Does it mean IUI is not successful or is it due to hormone pills? I really wonder. But I have bad acid reflux now and then which I dun have previously.
 
Ann, gluten and dairy free cakes have low/no carbs and fat. But I don't think they taste very good!

Saralyn, thanks. I went to Dr Lim today because I got a third LH surge, I know, crazy right?

Most girls OPK testing (say CD 12-20) usually looks like this: ------+

PCOS looks like this: +----++ or ++++++++ or -------

Mine was like this: +---++--++

He said he's never seen it before and it looks like I ovulated an immature follicle. We did a progesterone test and I'll know for sure tomorrow if my egg came out. Fingers crossed I ovulated a good egg!

Lil Ponyo, I PM'ed you already! Check your inbox.
 
Hi lil ponyo, ya think it's better for me to go eu yan sang and ask about the ginseng.. Don't wanna take the wrong thing.. Thanks

Hi ann, you mentioned that you spot and bled throughout your pregnancy for #1.. Were you on bed rest? Did your gynae give you any pills or injections?
 
My mum in law just watsapp me an article from Simply Her may issue on priscilla chan and alan tern about their ttc journey
sad.gif
 
min81: I was not given any bed rest. Just say no housework. But I try to lie down as much as I do during 1st trimester. But sometime i lie down and rest.. stand up to go pee.. my blood will trickle down my legs le. Gynae also not sure why. Cannot detect where the blood is coming from. He did increase my dosage of progesterone pills from 3 pills a day to 6 pills a day.. i think eventually increase to 9 pills a day (cannot be too sure.. dun remember le). I also have hormone injection twice a week. This last till my 1st trimester is over.

Spotting and bleeding is so common for me in the 1st trimester that i dun even panick when i see them in my 2nd and 3rd trimester. I even went for swimming and yoga every week.
 
Hi ann, ohh okie.. Your hubby and you must have been so worried at that time.. I was also so extra careful, first sign of brown discharge hubby sent me straight to a&e cos at night.. In the end, still miscarried.. Haiz..

The article was abt them trying unsuccessfully for a baby for 6 mths.. Did the same things like most of us ladies here, monitor bbt, use opk, go tcm.. Now they give up doing all that cos find it too stressful..
