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.

Congrats Grandma! I can't help with the hcg #s b/c I've never been pregnant in order to relate.  However, doubling every 33 hours sounds incredible! Hopefully she is pregnant with as many she can handle and that can grow safely.  Blessings to you.

Hi........I'm actually posting as a Grandma not Mom.......been reading all the posts and after watching what my daughter has gone thru in the last year, I have so much respect for the strength and determination you ladies have.  My daughter has been TTC for 1 1/2 years but found out at the beginning of this year that her hubby has "0" sperm.  He has sarcoidosis and a tumor on his pituitary which has totally wreaked havoc on his hormones so with little to no testosterone he was put on a testosterone supplement that made him sterile unfortunately.  So they started IUI with d/s and due to irregular periods they used clomid and a trigger shot.  They did that for 3 times.....no luck and switched to injectables in June.  She had this months IUI done on July 26th (feast day for Saint Anne, the patron Saint of fertility! She found that out after and figured every little bit helps!)  She didn't do any hpt and waited till this past Monday for her results..........BFP!!!!!!!!  She was.......we all were........ecstatic!  Her hcg was 201............then on Wednesday, 2 days later it was 547!  Sounds like good strong numbers and while I know you can't put total stock in them as far as multiples......the numbers have us wondering!  She had another blood test this morning so we're anxious to hear the numbers.  For the first two she doubled every 33 hours.  Can't wait until the 23rd she gets her first u/s!  As you can see.......i'm very excited for her!!!  Oh and I forgot to mention for her iui she had 6 follicles......on Friday the 23rd they were 11, 13, 14, 15, 16 & 17.  She triggered Saturday evening and had the IUI Monday morning the 26th.  She did have some leftover follicles from the last cycle so it got very confusing as to whether some of the smaller ones were old ones shrinking or new ones growing.  Congrats to those with BFP's and I pray for BFP's for all those that didn't get their wish yet.  Thanks so much and would love to hear opinions on the hcg numbers!

Glad to hear that your u/s went well :) i agree with you about REs being too conservative sometimes. I think that most of us are in the mindset of "the more the merrier" :) I would be ok with multiples at this point. We have to trust that they know what they are doing. I'm worried that since I haven't done anything other than femara... That I'll have to do this a few more times :) I haven't had experience with the # of follies yet since I haven't had the egg check... Other than knowing that my egg reserve is ok. I will let you know as soon as I know :)
