IUI/SO-IUI: Anyone?

OHSS = Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome

So... good news is I just had a BFP. Yes doc called about an hour ago. Bad news is I have to be admitted to hospital as I am dehydrated, in danger of deep vein thrombosis and too much fluids in places where they don't belong. Now waiting for my husband to come home to send me to hospital...

Congrats hopefulyuki!

Grabbing your bb dusts hehe.

So you are going to admit to hospital now? Wow, that's fast!! Roughly will stay in hospital for how long ?

Speedy recovery !

Congrats to u...
Grabbing lots of ur bb dusts!!!

Im sure ur doc will knw wat to do in the meantime rest more...
 
Dont worry so much! Definitely your follicles will grows bigger and bigger day by day till next scan! And ovulate...

I heard its good to Bd after IUI to increase the our chance. Maybe later...hehe. I still feel slight cramp and it's like on and off kind..

Yep, u r right...For my first SO-IUI, I used my medisave. But this time round we pay it on our own just in case we need to embark IVF if still not successful after few rounds of IUI.

:)
Cant wait for my scan tmr...
Is good for follicle scan but on the other hand has to spend on every scan but the money spent will be worthwhile as we are able to knw the size and whether i did Ovulate this cycle as my blood tests done last mth shows that i didnt ovulate.. so finger crossed i will be able to ovulate..

Anyone heard of low motility? Thats my hub SA results..

Oh..pain for u.. but is it norm to feel slight cramp after iui?
U try to hv more rest.. walk slowly and u will see | | in 2weeks time..

Hi ladies, can I check whether how you take your utrogestan tablets after your IUI ? Mine is 100mg and consisted of 30 tablets.

I've forgotten what the nurse told me..
 
Insert in vagina 2 days after iui once in the morning once at night. Lie down for like 15 to 30 mins after insertion. Please remember your panty liners cos they are quite messy...

Motility
The World Health Organization has a value of 50% and this must be measured within 60 minutes of collection. WHO also has a parameter of vitality, with a lower reference limit of 60% live spermatozoa.[5] A man can have a total number of sperm far over the limit of 20 million sperm cells per milliliter, but still have bad quality because too few of them are motile. However, if the sperm count is very high, then a low motility (for example, less than 60%) might not matter, because the fraction might still be more than 8 million per millilitre. The other way around, a man can have a sperm count far less than 20 million sperm cells per millilitre and still have good motility, if more than 60% of those observed sperm cells show good forward movement.

A more specified measure is motility grade, where the motility of sperm are divided into four different grades:[10]

  • Grade a: Sperm with progressive motility. These are the strongest and swim fast in a straight line. Sometimes it is also denoted motility IV.
  • Grade b: (non-linear motility): These also move forward but tend to travel in a curved or crooked motion. Sometimes also denoted motility III.
  • Grade c: These have non-progressive motility because they do not move forward despite the fact that they move their tails. Sometimes also denoted motility II.
  • Grade d: These are immotile and fail to move at all. Sometimes also denoted motility I.

Hi hellokitty!! Another cycle buddies hehe.

I understand if too many follicles doctor will convert your SO-IUI to IVF. Didn't know it's the down side of PCOS. What is your reading for AMH?

Wish you good luck for tomorrow's checkup. Hope everything goes smooth and sailing for you!

Hello chloebbkia, we are seeing private doc and wasn't ready for ivf that time (due to work commitments) so after knowing there are too many follicles, it's kinda too late to convert to IVF. So the cycle was cancelled and after which I got OHSS! :(

AMH is the egg reserve test right? I'm not very familiar with the lingos for IVF. Haha.. Haven't take any tests yet.

Everything went well today! Surprisingly! Doctor said I'm ready for IUI! I'm going tomorrow instead of Sat. *fingers crossed*

Im sad, dishearted, speechless...

Went for my scanning this morning and found out that my follicle didn't grow at all..
which means I didn't Ovulate at all.. :(

doc prescribed me tables to be taken CD2 to CD6 and will be back for review.. and will embark on IUI journey..

sisters out there.. please advise me what should I do / should not do during this period.

Upon hearing I was so sad that I nearly cry after my visit to the gynae.. I controlled back my tears..
I blamed myself for not going for fertility checks early.. I blamed myself for the cause of infertility..

totally no mood to do anything.. I am wondering if I am able to request for hosp leave after doin my IUI cos I do not wan to come to work during my 2ww as my job is getting more n more tedious and tiring as deadline for each n everything is so close... any sisters taken b4?

Hi rainbowbb,

Don't be dishearted by the news. I'm sure your doctor has a plan for you. I have my fair share of disappointments before moving on to IUI. It's not as bad as you think it is, maybe have to get used to the injectables and constant review by doctor. I had my IUI today and doctor gave me 2 days MC (but cos of work I asked for 1 day instead). As IUI is not a major procedure, some doctors may not give long week for it so talk to your doctor on this. :)

In the meantime, don't stress yourself too much. Hope everything will be okay for you! :)

Don't be disheartened. So sorry to hear that. Infertility is both ways. Has your husband been checked?

I was on clomid in my younger years, got pregnant but had a miscarriage. We stopped trying for many years, trauma, etc. I had PCOS, and even went for a laparoscopy to burn off the excess immature follicles. My fil once called me to tell me to go to this healing session by a Catholic priest if we want to have children. My mil hinted how her neighbour's dil got pregnant through ivf and for 2 or 3 consecutive weeks, talked about it, said they will pay, etc. it was stressful.

When we finally did try last year, my gynae put me on clomid. I didn't respond at all. The follicles didn't move even 5mm. Then she said, scrap clomid, I will put you on femera. Femera is a stronger drug, used for cancer treatments but they found it to be effective for ovulation. Didn't work AT ALL. I almost cried. She told me, let's go ahead and use injectables, don't wait anymore. In my case, the one with problems was really me, not my husband.

Did 2 cycles. First cycle I responded well, but I walked around probably a little too much during the TWW, and drank a little too much. It was the festive season. I ate a lot of fish when I was on the injections though. And tofu. Which probably helped with growing the follicles. First cycle failed.

This cycle, my follicles didn't respond as well initially. Doc had to pump up the dosage. I drank soya bean. Didn't eat as much fish. Not much tofu either. Thankfully follicles grew. After IUI I went home and slept. Ate as much home cooked food as I could. Drank cocktails, ate sushi during TWW. But I am down with OHSS even though I am pregnant.

I think diff people will respond differently. But the most important thing is to find things that relaxes you. Go do yoga, run or something. Try to take your mind off the ovulation and fertility stuff. You could time a short holiday post IUI... Remember there is still nature at work even with the IUI. It's not 100%, in fact, only 5-10% success on first try, max they have ever counted was 36% on 2nd tries and beyond, and a lot of it depends on how you are.

No worries! Everything will be okay, just stay stress-free (is hard but do your best) :)

Talk to your boss on this as he/she needs to understand your situation. I am open with my boss and we compromise on matters like this - like I don't MC on days where I need to do reporting. :x

Feeling a little bloated now. Fingers crossed! :)

Jiayou everyone! My doctor just told me I can be discharged tomorrow... So happy. So far it was a tough week starting since last Saturday. At some point the doc was so worried I might get a renal failure... Thankfully everything is getting back on track. Can't wait to go home and sleep on my own bed. For the rest of you in the TWW and going to be doing the procedure, best of luck!

Good thing my doctor's clinic is near my office so my boss is rather flexible on that.. She allows me to go for my doc appt and then back to work. But of course I do take mc or annual leave just to go check up.

Hmm BT should be during cny period. So probably go for it after cny, a little more than 2WW. If don't see me reply after that means I have good news. Haha! :p

Don't think too much and just go with the flow. Everything will be ok! Jia you! ;)

So good to be home. My bed never felt so comfortable hahaha. Lil beanie is probably the size of a seed now... I haven't had much time to think about it, but my mum's telling me not to drink coconut water, the Chinese meds etc... Starting to feel nauseated, a bit early, and it could be the OHSS as well. So far so good, we should see something next week, according to my doc. I still look like a super huge water barrel though.

Keep your head and spirits up, Chloebbkia, let us know how it goes with the blood test!

Happy weekend, all!
 
Hellokittyy, luckily you have an understanding boss yea..

My BT is on 16 feb and its before CNY.

In the meantime, I hope for the best. Haha. May be a biggest ang bao I ever had! Hahaha

Good luck to you too! ;)

So sorry to hear that, worriedmi.

Take some time off, chill and relax. Know it is difficult, but our mood also has a lot to contribute to conception. On the bright side, all the Yusheng, all the pineapple tarts will not be restricted...

Have you thought of incorporating some TCM together with IUI prep? Now would be the time to load up on essential nutrients to keep the body strong ok? Will you start another IUI cycle immediately?

Take care.
 
Hahha... very true.. no restriction to do anything now. .. can resume my jogging to shed some weight gained... ☺☺

Before starting my first iui, went to tcm to 调my body. .. maybe not the correct timing. ..
Might go ivf straight. . Iui like not for me. .. maybe is due to one of my blocked tube.. that why the chance is much lower. ...

Sorrt to hear that..
If crying out will mk u feel better pls cry it out..

I know how u are feeling right now.. as in tried so hard yet ntg..

Talk to ur doc and see what he/she plans for u, n tell ur concerns to ur doc that you would like to do ivf..

Hv a short break n start ur next journey after cny ok..

Take care n keep ur mind bz..

Im sure we all will be holdin our little one in our arms.
Jus a matter of time..

Jia you ladies.. nv give up!! :)
 
Good luck wedelia.

Lately here very quiet...
One more week to go before BT. Didn't feel any symptoms for now except slight cramps on 4dpiui and 5dpiui. Today is 7dpiui.

Today have such a funny feeling and I told hubby, I won't have such a luck for BFP. Maybe this round not my cycle also. Sob sob. Kind of prepare it for the worse?
