2wwers Feb 2010

[Sammy_J]

I just had my IUI today and am officially in the 2ww!! This is my third back to back IUI so I've been getting shots daily from 6 November - very hard on my poor lil bum ;)
I'll be on hcg 1000 injections daily and progesterone suppositories 400mg each night.
My beta will probably be on 14/15 Feb.
In case it doesn't work (please God make it work, please, please, pretty please with sugar and honey on top) then I'll take a rest and maybe go for IVF after a month.
Just wanted to start a thread for all 2wwers so we can obsess over symptoms, share fears and concerns, and consider to hpt or not to hpt with each other.
I get very jittery towards the end of the 2ww and support from my friends on this forum has helped keep me sane thru the shots, scans, suppositories, tests, etc. Hope we can start a useful thread for everyone else in this 4th dimension...
Hugs and SSBD to all TTCers,
Sam

What is the normal amount of HCG that they inject? I just had a little syringe of Ovidrel.  I have no idea how much it was.... I guess I could check at Walgreens to see what the prescription was exactly.

Hello everyone!  I would like to join the 2wwers here.  I had my IUI done on 1/27/10 and my beta is scheduled for 2/10/10.  This is my 3rd IUI and I hope the saying is true....3rd times a charm!  I haven't really been feeling much but abdominal cramps lower and kind of all over.  I don't have sore bbs. yet which is weird.  This cycle has me worried though because I don't think my RE actually caught ovulation cause the morning of my IUI I always test to see if I get a + O, and it was negative.  My RE said it doesn't matter because I did the HCG trigger 2 days before the IUI and that makes me O.  I hope he is right.....but I have been BD everyday since the IUI to increase our chances....My fingers are X'ed.  I hope the 3rd will be the last.  I am really happy that we are all able to go through this 2ww together.....nice to be able to talk about our worries and feelings through the process!  Thanks Sammy for starting this thread!

I am also in the 2ww! I just had my IUI yesterday 1/31 and today 2/1. Going for blood work on 2/15! this is my third try as well. I'm hoping for the best. This time I had cramping and some spotting but none the first two times. Maybe that's a good sign for me?? I'm just trying to stay positive. After this we meet with our RE to re-evaluate and see what to do if this does not work. I may keep trying IUI for a while with more meds, not sure. Maybe we won't have to worry about it. :)  Good luck to everyone! Hoping for a BFP this time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sammy- that STINKS!  Have you gone to see an acupuncturist, or a holistic DR???  I bet there are natural ways that work to get your body to function properly;)  I would look into it!!!

Princess- ovidrel has quite a bit less HCG, I only know because I asked for that this time & they said no because it has less HCG???

Sinara- we are doing TI, & when I went yesterday, similar....it looks like my huge follie 23, had just O'd but we've BD a lot for us;). So I should be covered!!!

Love-this is the 3rd time for me doing injectebles too!!!!  Hopefully it will be the last for all of us:o)

good luck to all!!!!!

Thanks, thats so sweet :)
And you never know, I have told the story of a friend of mine who went thru 4 IUIs and 17 IVFs and couldn't conceive but got pregnant after that naturally and now is the mom of a beautiful healthy girl - now she's 12! So there'a always hope. Praying for you too...

sinara
I'm not very knowledgeable about egg life and sperm life and all, but if your RE scheduled the IUI then he must know. I believe the IUI should ideally be 24-48 hours after the trigger shot, but as I said, my info on this is limited.

PrincessJam
The trigger shot is either 5000IU or 10,000IU. I usually get 10,000 because of my hormonal deficiencies but then I keep getting small doses afterwards...

Loveday
You're welcome :) Its good to share the 2ww!
Don't worry, I;m sure with your doctor's knowledge and your own BDing you'll have the timing covered :)

angelpak
so you got 2 IUIs also, almost same as me only my doc kept mine 2 days apart. I wish I could understand better about this timing thing but I just have to trust the doctors, and more than that God...

ita17
I know it stinks but I haven't tried anything else yet. I;ve consulted REs, fertility experts and endocrinologists in several places and they all say I should be able to conceive with meds. So I'm trying it out...

all:
I'm so happy to see so many of us in the 2ww, and quite a few 3rd tries :) Lets all get BFPs!! I'll be praying for us all. Hugs and lots n lots of SSBD
