Looking for July cycle buddies starting IUI.

[Heaver]

Thought it would be nice to share symptoms and how we are feeling. I start the Gonal F tomorrow. 75 ml x 5 days. Then go back for us to check follicle sizes. My dr wants them to be 20 mm before HCG trigger. Then two IUI's then the dreaded 2ww!!! I will have a booster HCG as well after ovulation. Anyone get BFP after one round of IUI? I had been on clomid 100 mg for three months, with no BFP but did ovulate. But RE thinks my eggs still werent maturing to the size they need to get pregnant.

My u/s went well:)  No cysts and I am ok to start clomid in a couple of days.  My RE refused to increase my meds this round for fear of multiples. I produced 3 mature follies last month and she said that already is too risky.... is it just me or this sounds too conservative?  I mean I'm going on my 3rd round.  She said she'll consider going more aggressive on the meds down the line, but not this round.
  
What has your experience been with how many mature follies your doctor feels comfortable with?

Thanks for the info! I will let you know what the outcome is next week. No... No injectables at all. I wonder after reading a lot ... If I should have asked for injectables or at least asked her :( oh well... Maybe next time if this one doesn't stick :)
I'm starting a new job next week so hopefully that will help to keep my mind off of it for a week :)
Glad to hear that your hubby is going with you! It is great to have the support!

Glad your hubby is going with you.  It makes such a difference having mine around.  He remembers what i forget, and of course the moral support is greatly appreciated. Maybe the third time will be the charm for you.  I will be thinking of you and praying you are blessed with good news soon.  Hang in there!

Welcome:) Did you also do trigger with your IUI? I believe with medicated cycles, they want to see your progesterone level at 15 or above, 10 with natural cycles. Goodluck and try to take the 2ww easy.  I know how long it can feel, so hope you have something to keep yourself busy!

Update:
AF finally showed up and I have my baseline U/S tomorrow.  Hope all goes well and I am able to start round 3:)  My RE didn't recommend to do anything new, but will do a thorough check up tomorrow.... not sure what she will be looking for, but the hubby will come along for support:)

I am new to this board but enjoyed reading all of your posts and advice. All of you are a true inspiration! I did femara for 5 days on cd3-7. I have been doing OPKs for 6 months but this is the first time with any drug. It is amazing how much more intense Oing is with a drug :) I went for my IUI today and now I have to do the 2ww thing. I am super impatient!! Dh had 30mil count and I Oed last night and this AM. I hope this works!!! They are going to test my progest next week. What # should I be hoping for ??

Thanks ladies for all your support and good advice:)  Joining this forum has been of great help to me mentally, especially at times like this one.  I'm not giving up hope just yet, but I have to admit I'm feeling a little breathless today.  AF  is still MIA.  Going to email my RE and see what else we can cook up for next round.

Yang:  So excited for you! Your numbers are awesome and congrats to no more b/w!!!
