IUI-looking for a 2WW buddy

[LandM2009]

I had my first IUI this morning (Saturday) after getting an HCG (Pregnyl) shot on Thursday. I can not test until November 29, 2009. I am hopeful, but not sure what to expect. My husband has two varicoceles and I have PCOS. We just happened upon a viable follicle on Monday when I had my first consult with the RE. She was surprised too. My husband's sperm wash showed good motility so we shall see. So far since the shot I have had headaches and a little tired. Don't want to get fooled by the HCG symptoms as pregnancy, but I know it will be hard. I also have to take the Progesterone capsules vaginally starting Sunday night b/c my uterine lining was a little thinner than she wanted.

Congratulations on your BFP!

All:
For those of us who got BFN's or AF try to stay positive. I know it's easier said than done. I will test one more time tomorrow and then call my RE on Monday. Looks like quite a few of us will be on the TWW train again next month together. Take care of yourselves!

Re: PCOS-anyone can answer this. I have a question about PCOS and irregular periods. Does anyone know what they use to induce a period if I don't get one? Then my concern is that if I do get AF that it won't stop in time for me to do an IUI before Christmas. Does clomid help stopping AF or does it make it shorter? These are my new concerns as I doubt that this IUI took. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

I go Monday to confirm my pregnancy!! Got my 2 lines 15dpiui! So I hope everything is going on track. Dont want to tell anyone bc of my 2 m\c before. But I cant quit shaking! I hoping all you guys get some good news in the next few days!

Oh My insurance doesnt cover IUI's at all I have to pay out of pocket and its 250 per IUI which is alot cheaper than 10000 for IVF. Copays for my meds and all as well so each cycle is about $340.00. Hope that helps!

FSH shots...are Follicle Stimulating Hormones (self injectables) I did those as well as the trigger shot right before IUI then they had me give myself another trigger a week after IUI as a booster. Does your insurance cover both IVF and IUI ? If my insurance covered IVF i would certiantly skip the injectables and IUI and move to IVF...however my insurance covers everything BUT IVF.
Feel free to pick my brain all you'd like...hope im able to answer...
that trigger shot is such s TEASE ! it really makes u believe u are pregnant with all the symptoms it gives you...ughhh

After I asked this, I realized you are on injectables....I may want to pick your brain on this and how it is going for you. As if this cycle did not take (it was my last on clomid) i may go the injectable route before even thinking of IVF.....although my RE woul rather see me do IVF. I cannot wrap my head around that yet.

I am expecting AF on Tuesday and if I don't get it I will test on Wednesday.  I am so sorry for those of you getting the disappointments, but keep trying.  I have found for me it works best to absolutely NOT test early.  It is easier for me to wait to take that test and get AF than to see the negative test.  I also have learned not to read anything into my symptoms.  I have had the sorest, hugest, hardest boobs and still a negative.  This month I don't have sore boobs and I always get sore boobs every month but I think that is becasue I am taking 81 mg of aspirin a day.  I have had some nausea in the morning especially the last three or four days but that is maybe because I have had to work;).  Who knows.  DH is so hopeful this month.  Last night I told him I will probably have to go to the RE on Tuesday or Wednesday for my initial US before the next tx and he told me to not start planning that yet.  I am always the pessimist I guess.  I will let you all know.  Good Luck to all of you coming to the end of the train.

I am sorry for your BFN..UGH it is so tough!!  I had to take the HCG trigger for just one cycle a few months back and that thing messed with me like no one's business!
My hubby was even convinced I was preggo..with all the symptoms I was having. I have not been on the Progesterone-- keep positive though this was your 1st IUI and I am not sure if your RE told you but after 2 IUI's your chances get greater. (I don;t know why).  I am 11dpiui and I have been crampy and my boobs are so sore...but that is like before AF comes...so I will see what happens here over the next few days. Sending you hugs and baby dust!! :-)

jennlaurin80- what is the FSH shot? i was curious....is that the same thing as the HCG shot?
