Best of luck to you Denise! This is my first month as well. I have been on Follistim daily at 75 for the last five days and am my follicales are currently 12.5 and 10.5 but I only have three measurable. I am going to be on for the next three days and then another u/s and b/w on Monday am. Good luck to you!

Denise--Sounds good. Yes, if they dropped you down to 150 for tonight, it sounds like you are indeed almost ready. I gather tomorrow will be trigger day for you. Good luck tomorrow at your follie check! Welcome Hi Babybaby, Kl & Erica. Good luck on your IUIs. Kl, I'd think with your DH's morphology being at 20%, low but at the higher end of low, you'd probably have a very good chance of success with IUI. No, my DH never did the Hamster test. I've heard it's really the best indicator though morph wise. Good luck! Have a great weekend, ladies!

Hi everyone,
Well I triggered on Sunday and I had the IUI yesterday. Ever since the IUI i have had this horrible stomach ache, I dont know if its something I ate or the IUI itself? I knwo its too soon to tell. I just would love at the end of this 2WW to get a positive pregnancy test.

Denise--Welcome to the 2 ww! I think that the "stomache" post-IUI was most likely O pain. You had a lot of follies this time around. The only painful IUI I ever had was my 2nd injectible IUI cycle where I'd produced 5 mature follies & I lived under the heat pad that whole night. I hope your tummy feels better soon! I'm sure it will. Good luck, I hope this is your successful cycle!!!

My stomach was so sore that i coulndt even stand up straight! Im glad to know though that im not alone. I thought something was wrong. It still hurts today, but not as bad as yesterday. My stomach hurt so bad I thought i was going to throw up.

Denise--That's not good! Yikes, I just thought of something. Since it's continuing longer than just a few hours (which is probably all O is) I'm thinking you could be slightly overstimmed. Any trouble peeing? Any trouble breathing? Have you gained more than 3 or 4 Ibs in the last day or so? If so call your dr. If it's just the pain though & since it's subsiding now I think it's just minor OHSS, nothing at all to worry about really. And if it continues MAY be a good sign even. But if you do have the symptoms I mentioned above I'd call your dr. I don't want to worry you, mild overstimming isn't harmful, and really not too uncommon. I'm rather surprised I didn't overstim my last IVF--with my 24 eggs & 3,900 e2 I was a prime candidate. But that said, I'm sorry you were hurting so bad. And am glad it's better now. Drink lots of gatorade or pedilyte (most drs believe that's better than water when overstimming) & eat lots of protein. I did both of those which may very well of helped me avoid it. Feel better! Keep me posted!

Today is much much much better. No trouble peeing, i actually have been peeing alot more. Now its more of a dull ache, and sometimes I get some fluttering feelings. its not even painful anymore. I just chalked it up to my "super ovulation"! LOL. I took the ovidrel shot on Sunday, a low dosage of it. How long do you think before its out of my system?

 

Mega - January 18

Oh good. Glad you're feeling better. Yeah, that sounds good, a s/e of "superovulation!" :) I'd plan on it taking up to 10 days for the Ovidrel shot to leave. If you took less than the entire syringe of it, it may take a little less than that though. Maybe around CD 8 or so you can POAS & if it's a BFN then you know it's out of your system.

What if i take a pregnancy test before day 8 and its positive?
