Success with Menopur and IUI?

[esmie1012]

I just started my first round with Menopur after 3 cycles on clomid+iui.
My first u/s went well and I have another one coming up on Friday.
I'm hoping to have IUI next week.

Any success stories/experiences w/the same protocol?

Good morning and Happy Friday to you:)

I'm also afraid to test early.  My blood test is on Monday and I'm debating if I should take a HPT on Sunday.  My husband doesn't want to test early, so not sure:(  

How are you feeling today?

Morning;

I'm on my 10DIUI & want to test but I'm scared.... I have my blood work on 11/2/10...

When do you test? & have you done an hpt??

Thanks for the SSBD :-)

No worries:)
SSBD stands for "sending some baby dust." So many abbreviations I still don't know, but try to guess as I go.

I know what you mean about the symptoms.  The only thing I have is the sore boobs that's not usual for me, but this is also my first time on progesterone.  My sister had no pregnancy symptoms for both her pregnancies, so I'm hoping that maybe the case:)

Are you testing early at all?

Hi & thanks for your respond & going to check out that website...

Yeah I got so worried cuz of my progesterone just being at 6 but hopefully I'll get good news... & still no symptoms yet :(

What is SSBD?? (sorry still new))

Thanks again.... =D

Looks like we are both on menopur and test days are 1 day apart:)  I started off with 75 last cycle and moved up to 150 this cycle.  I had one leader egg and 3 smaller ones.  That's awesome you had a lot of follies!

I've only tested for day 21 progesterone during my initial stages of testing and I believe I had a 12.5 without meds.  I know my sister's progesterone level was only 10 during her positive beta and she was on a medicated cycle. So I think everyone is different and it is good that you are on progesterone sup. for additional help.  I'm also taking progesterone, which I attribute most of my "symptoms" from.

I found this website helpful when trying to figure out lab results:

Try not to worry about ur levels... maybe you can ask your RE to shed some light and put ur mind at ease:)

SSBD!!!!
