Who's doing IUI in July?

I had a day 10 scan yesterday, two promising-looking follies - 13.5 and 14.7, and womb lining 7.3. Really pleased with the lining thickness, as that's the thickest it's ever been at this stage. Have a second scan booked for Monday, by which time follies should have grown to the right size and IUI will be booked for Weds.

Have done two cycles already, one ended in early miscarriage, the second BFN. Then the last two cycles had to be stopped after the first scan - one as there were too many follies, the other because I got an infection

Hoping this one goes the distance!

Hi Elli, I should be doing an IUI sometime soon too!

This will be my 5th IUI but my first time using medication. I'm on 50 units of Puregon and today is CD7. I had a miscarriage from my first IUI as well. It's been all BFNs since. Hopefully July will be the lucky month for us!

Your follies and lining are measuring great, which are all great signs. Best of luck and baby dust!

Best of luck to us this month.

Good luck to you both!

Had another scan today. The two biggest follicles had grown - 19.1 and 18.3, and lining was 11.4. Really pleased, as these are the best measurements I've had for follies and lining so far. So I feel like I have the best chance I can have this time. Doing trigger at 4am (yawn!), then IUI on Weds pm.

Good Morning Everyone,

Background: I am 31, my wife and I decided we would try to start our family and this is my first real IUI after wrong timing on the initial 2 do to incorrect OPK. I am currently 2dpiui and feeling some stretching under my breast area and some slight cramping, backache and started getting headaches today.

I took letrozal for 5 days then an ovidrel trigger the night before the IUI. Had my first IUI Saturday 7/2/16 and the second the following day. This is nerve racking but I'm trying to stay positive and not overthink it.

Baby dust to everyone***

Hi guys, I had a scan today, cd9, and things are looking good. I have a 19, 17, 16, and 14 and my lining is 9.1. Waiting for the bloodwork results to figure out next steps. The docs are hoping I can do another night or two of injections before triggering me to give the littler follies some time to catch up.

Fingers crossed for all of us!

Had the IUI today, started feeling really emotional straight after. I think this will be the last attempt for me, so I guess once it was done it just hit me that that's it. Going to be a tough two weeks, I think.
Wishing everyone else to get their dreams this time around.

Hi everyone,
I'm new here and ttc my first. I had my first iui on June 30th with chlomid and ovidrel. I am 7 dpiui and have no symptoms at all. My husband had poor semen analysis with low counts and motility but our post wash the day of iui was great! The count was 48mil with 46% motility. The nurse told me I had a 21mm follicle but didn't tell me the sizes of the others if there were any! This 2ww is not as dreadful as I thought it would be because I am staying busy! Good luck to all

Welcome MsKriss, GD to you and everyone on the journey this month!

Hi everyone!

I have been stalking this site for about 8 months now and when I saw this thread I knew I had to post since I am about to do my first IUI this month!

The past few weeks I've been beginning my journey through new fertility treatments. What finally worked was follistim. However, my follicles weren't growing as fast as we'd like! Today I had an ultrasound and I have three good growing follies at 15, 13, and 13. Also, my lining was 9 or 11.. cant remember exactly. Next appt is on Sunday with two more follistim shots in between. Fingers crossed Sunday we are at the right size to go ahead and trigger and hopefully schedule the IUI for Tuesday!

Accepting any helpful tips or words of encouragement!

Baby dust to all of us!!!!

Hi ladies. Great to find this group of July iui hopefuls. This would be my 2nd iui after BFN. I'm at cd9. First scan on 7/8 cd5 was good. 3 follies on right & 4 follies on the left. The largest ones were 8cm & 9cm. Started clomid 100mg/day (5-9) & Follistim 100iui/day on cd 5. Second scan on 7/8 cd8 showed progress in follies, still 7 follies largest ones were 12cm. 11cm, 8cm, 5cm, 4cm. Third scan is Monday 7/11. Fourth scan scheduled 7/13. If enough progress trigger shot on this day and iui on 7/13 & 7/15, We're hoping that this one works. Baby Dust to all of us for a positive outcome!

iui #1 - 6/17 BFN
iui #2 - 7/14 & 7/15

Hi Ladies,
I am so glad I found this forum! I am now 4 dpiui, and I have a feeling the next 10 days are going to go by very slowly!
My dh and I have no known causes for infertility. I took clomid days 5-9 this cycle. This is my first cycle on Clomid.

On CD13, I had a follicle check. I had two follicles that were looking promising. One was 22mm and the other one was 24.8mm. I had a trigger shot that day. The next day, I had a new ultrasound, and it confirmed fresh ovulation. We moved forward with the IUI. After wash, we had 52 million swimmers with 96% motility. The lining was measuring 11mm.

I am really praying this works!! What have you been doing to stay busy these past couple weeks?

by **mglupe1979** » Sun Jul 10, 2016 2:41 pm

Bahmama we are boddy cycle im also 11day today. going in tomorrow for my follicles scan. I had 3 messuring 11mm 9mm 8mm let see how many and how much they had grown.
Best wishes for July's iui hope we all get our positive and our little miracle baby.
