hi my name is jamie husband and i have been ttc for a long time. we did an iui on clomid last month but it was unsuccessful, so we were waiting for august to start another cycle. we are using a donor. and the only thing that we are doing differently in the august cycle is the hcg trigger shot and follicle monitoring. anyone else want someone to talk to?

Hi slowpoke! I will be having IUI at the beginning of August. This will be my 4th cycle. I am on clomid, metformin, will use the hCG trigger (I have used all three of these for the last cycles too) and am asking for progesterone support for my luteal phase. Anyway, I am using donor sperm as well, but ttc on my own. I would love to wait with you! I will be leaving for Ottawa on Thursday for my first appointment on Friday.

lol-T i should get a/f around the 28th. i didnt even try this month as it was a crazy month and i wanted to get stuf around here done and i always have a lot of stuff going on at all times..lol..i will have to go in for day 3 and day 10 fo;;icle monitoring. i am nervous since this will be the first cycle with the monitoring and the trigger shot.i have heard alot of women say that the trigger shot was their miracle so i hope it works for us.

I certainly hope it works out for you. The trigger shot helped me to release my eggs - I could feel it! I was nervous at first because I had never given myself an injection, but it doesn't hurt at all. Follicle monitoring is so amazing - I think - you can see those things on the screen and it just amazes me that our bodies do that. Sending you positive, fertile thoughts!

they said that theu didnt know whether they would have to do a vaginal ultrasound or an abdominal one yet they just had to see if they could get a good abdominal then that would be good if not it would have to be vaginal so we will see. i have 3 horses i am trying to sale one isnt for me but he said if i could get 1500.00 for it he will give me 200.00 so i am hoping that the lady interested in it buys it. the other 2 are mine and i have people interested in them so maybe i can sake them so i can put the money in savings in case the next cycle is a bust and i have to do it all over again. i wont be giving myself an injection i dont think i think the doc will do it as far as i know they havent said anything about me having to do it

Vaginal ultrasound is the kind I have to monitor follicles - the good thing with it is that you don't have to hold your urine!

lol..i really dont want a vaginal ultrasound for the day 3 monitoring since i will still be bleeding..lol..i know it sounds crazy..lol..

oooohhh! I didn't think of that! I agree then! I've had both, when I went through what felt like a million tests for the RE.

Hey Jamie, I just got your e-mail about the thread and thought I would join. How was your weekend? (thay) Here we are again for another round, huh??? LOL! All joking aside, maybe this will be our lucky cycle. The only thing that I am doing different this time is taking prenatel vitamins, and the dr. upped my clomid. The dr. hasn't said anything about my short luteal phase because I think that my progesterone levels came back fine. I don't know. I think that when I go in for my day 12 u/s I will talk to him about my short luteal phase. The only person I have talked to is he assistant and she said that we really need to make my cycles longer. DUH! HE HE....(thay) have you been using the same donor every cycle?? I have, but I only have one vial left and he has no more available at the moment. Maybe it will be a sign to swtich. I still have my stuff from the other candidates we were looking at, so that's a good thing.

hey whynotme how are you doing? maybe the sperm bank has his specimen under quarantine. you may call and ask when it will be released. i know they quarantine it for 6 months to make sure t hat everything is alright with it. so that may be the case. you may have to change donors for a little while while they have it under quarantine

 

whynotme - July 24

Well, I think that she said that they were not releasing any specimens this month, not just my donor. The donor I use is very popular and goes quick, but usually every month around the 19th they release more samples. I think that the way that banks work is they come in and give samples every week or something like that for 6 months. So they are continually releasing specimens after the 6 month quarantine. Atleast I hope that's what will happen. She told me to call at the end of this week. I will call on Friday.

HI i am having IUI In Aug. with Clomid and i will be asking RE in 2 days if i can get hcg shot. I am hoping this works. DH has low sperm count of only 6 million. Anyone have similar problems?

 

whynotme - July 26

Jamie, where are you? How is everything going?

 

slowpoke01 - July 26

hey all i went and watched cars last night and it was so funny you all need to see it..sorry i havent been on in a while how is everyone doing? good i hope i will check back later

hi, all. jamie, i'm starting my first cycle of clomid on saturday, followed by follicle monitoring, hcg shot and iui. the whole shebang. it's all new to me, though, and a little nervous about it all. all of my labs have been normal so far, so i'm hoping this cures whatever mysterious problem there is. my first u/s is on august 3rd. my dh will be giving the sample--does anyone know when he does that? at the same time as the iui or before? good luck to all of us!

 

slowpoke01 - July 26

elisa i think it is the day of the iui that he gives sample. i am waiting for a/f to start so that i can set up the first day of follicle monitoring and i am using donor sperm and trigger shot also. good luck to you this cycle
