IUI/IVF

Hi everyone! My partner and I have completed all our fertility testing including a tube assessment and seems like we have u explained infertility. Our Dr previously spoke about doing two rounds of medicated IUI (we’d be funding this) before moving to IVF.
Anyone else had a similar experience or let me know what to expect? 😬
I’m trying to be hopeful about one day getting a positive result but after 2 years it’s really hard to remain upbeat!

I have PCOS and I completed 2 failed medicated IUIs before moving on to IVF. Good luck to you. Hoping the IUIs work for you!

Hi! We had a similar experience. 3 IUI rounds this year (the first one was a chemical pregnancy). After that we decided to move to IVF. The plan is to do the eggs retrieval in December and 2 rounds of implantation in January and February. I really hope that we only need one round as we are going to do an ICSI + embryo genetic analysis.
I wish all the best in your process and I pray that you won’t need IVF

good luck with your egg retrieval. I just had my first egg retrieval on Tuesday and planning frozen transfer in January.

I have two kids, each conceived through IUI! It can definitely work for some and is worth a shot to save the money that IVF costs!

we are together in this journey! I’m praying for you!!

I have PCOS. We ended up doing 3 IUIs. All were unsuccessful. We ended having to go the IVF route. I did get pregnant after our first frozen embryo transfer. We are getting ready to do another one in February. Good luck!

I have actually never heard of a successful IUI outcome. I would to straight to IVF (ICSI if you can) to save the heartbreak, time and money

All the best!🤞🏻☺️

I have had 4x failed IUI , 3x natural and 1x medicated
Some people I know have had successful IUI and some not so I would say whatever you feel up to emotionally and financially, please do🙏🏽 all the best sending lots of baby dust your way and keep us posted on what you do ❤️

I went straight to IVF. And this time round it just means I can go straight to FET. While IVF is more brutal on the old body, it has the progesterone etc to help keep baby sticky!!

was two cycles recommended or your choice? Best of luck with your transfer 💕

Hi everyone, firstly thank you so much for sharing your experiences, everyone’s is so varied!
I was planning some down time over the festive period, take a holiday in January and then look to start IUI in February/March time.
My PMS symptoms usually start a week before my period, this cycle it had been just over a week and I thought ‘screw it lets pee on a stick’ (I usually avoid this because it results in a lot of tears when there’s a negative). Imagine my utter shock when two lines appeared?!?! I can’t even believe it. Over 2 years, 21 months since I miscarried and when I was losing hope. I’m trying not to get my hopes up too much, taking things gently, not getting carried away but I’m so grateful to even get the two lines 🥹

my doctor recommended 2-3 IUI cycles before going to IVF so we completed 2 and moved on to IVF

Avatar

omg so you’re pregnant? It happened naturally for . So happy congratulations 🙏🏽❤️

Avatar

yes and yes 🥹🥹🥹 I’m trying not to think too far ahead because of last time and I think I’m still in shock 🤣 I think I maybe had a blockage or something and the hycosy flushed my tubes! Thank you so much 🥰

Life is great as older single mom of 1, baby 2 at 45?

I’m 44 with a 5 year old and life is amazing. I’ve been raising this kid alone the whole time and I’m living a dream life where I live between the US, Thailand and Spain. I own a home, have a good remote job, keep my kid with me all day.

I want to have a second child. But not desperately. I’d need to borrow some semen from the bank and while I think it’s unfortunate to not know the origin of the semen and the possibility of 100 siblings , I’m open to it. My insurance covers IUI and IVF through my next birthday.

Would you start over as mom of an infant at 45 years old?

Pregnancy test

I took this pregnancy test and then a few days later I looked at it again and noticed a very faint line but then I took 3 more on different days and they all came out negative. What’s going on? I’m tripping out because I see it but my husband says he doesn’t.

Positive test?

Do yall see it? There’s the original and another one that I added sharpness to and stuff to see the faint liner more better. I took more and they came out negative. So I’m so confused. Also that line didn’t appear immediately I noticed it like the next day.

BBT

I had unprotected sex 2 day before my lh surge (I had a random late ovulation on CD 24). So obviously this wasn’t expected—I took plan B on Monday (54 ish hours after the act and on the day evening of my lh surge). My temp has been steadily rising the past 3 days—does that mean I ovulated or is this a plan B shift?

Also has anyone gotten pregnant 2 days before surge—I think I either ovulated late the night of my surge or very early the next day
