First IUI... a little nervous
I'm 28 and have been TTC for 2 years now and just started my first IUI process. At first it was just a morpology issue with my husband, then after I was tested for EVERYTHING, it turned out I didn't have enough eggs someone my age should have. We skipped the colmid and went straight to injectables. I had my second blood test/ultrasound today and had 2 mature follicles and my lining is at 10mm. I'm SUPER nervous, it seems like everyone around me is getting pregnant and I just want a baby... Advice or words of wisdom?
I dont know. I have had one bad one on the drugs and one not bad. usally my are painful!!!!!
MrsB - I know what you mean about being nervous to have more than one. However, I have a couple friends who had twins and they made it look like a breeze.
rmmoye - thanks for the advice on the gonal f. I'll keep that in mind for if I do need it in the future. I know that for this IUI cycle I won't but I think they might use that for IVF. I noticed this af isn't as bad for me either. I wonder if it is the fertility drugs. I think mine is almost over and it is only day 3.

Thanks MRsB and Renny. I started yesterday. i am having no cramps and sweeling so i am excited about that. it will be the first cycle like this. most are so bad i live with a heating bad.
Renny if u go to gonal f ahve your re over estimate how much it will take because your insurance will cover it. that way if they only cover 3 cycles and it takes all 3 u can order the new each time but use the old and save the new. then u will at least have meds covered for another cycle. and if it works then no big lose to u.

rmmoye: Don't get discouraged, you could absolutely get a late implantation! My fingers are crossed for you, I know how badly you disserve this
renny320: Thanks a lot, but I'm so scared for more then one. I know it's a risk when you go throught this, but I guess I wasn't thinking about it. I would love twins, but I'm so nervous.

My dosage this time was 100 of clomid. The first IUI I only did 50 of clomid. I never did gonal F. I hope it works this time but as I said I am not as hopeful. That stinks that your insurance doesn't cover fertility treatments. It seems like most don't cover it so I know I am very lucky to have insurance that does. I am worried that my insurance will drop it as well, but hopefully I will be pregnant before that happens.
