Already ovulating?!
So I'm doing my second IUI. I did 6 days of 150mg clomid CD3-8. I started taking Opk's every am & pm since Tuesday and this morning's, CD10, was positive(digital & strip test.) I called and I'm scheduled to go in tomorrow 8:30am for IUI now. I'm not very optimistic about this. I haven't even had a scan to see what's going on. They won't scan tomorrow because they don't want to use gel before IUI. Ugh...feels like another disappointment on this road full of obstacles.

Wow that's early. My nurse had me start testing today and only between 12-2:30.
Could they do an ultrasound after the IUI? FX your body was just geared up and ready to go and you'll get a BFP!

I'm not sure if they will do an u/s after, I'll certainly ask. It's just very frustrating. There can't be many follicles that are mature in that short amount of time, but I guess I have no choice. Hopefully I'll know more in the am.

Definitely ask for an ultrasound. I'd go crazy not knowing what was going on in there. FX

I've ovulated that early!! Totally normal well for me atleast.
deleted-user·
Ask for an ultrasound before the actual iui and go off that
Makenna·
Thanks Fiona. I'm hoping there's at least one good one so it's not a total wash. My nurse said they don't usually do u/s before an IUI because of the gel. Maybe there's another way? I hope so!??
deleted-user·
I started taking clomid 100mg days 3-7 and got a positive ovulation test on day 9. So it's definitely possible to ovulate that early!

If it's transvaginal I'm pretty sure they can do the ultrasound without gel...I'd ask. Good luck!!!
Makenna·
Yes, it would be transvaginal, but the nurse said they don't do them before the procedure because of the gel. Maybe they can do it without? I'm definitely asking!

Mine do ultrasounds before every iui with gel! Hmm I guess each Dr is different?
deleted-user·
I was closely monitored with internal ultrasounds for follicle size and even did a trigger shot once the follicles were the right size. Then had the Iui the following day. I had long cycles even with 150 mg of Clomid but I have pics and even believe I ovulated a couple days after the trigger so timing was not in our side. After three rounds we are now looking toward Ivf. Good luck to you!

They should be able to use preseed and do an ultrasound before the IUI!! I had them do that for me because I was worried about my lining! Good luck!??
deleted-user·
Let us know how it went! Thinking of you!
Makenna·
IUI went well! Dr did do an ultrasound, she said the gel would only be in the vaginal canal and the catheter would bypass all of that. We saw 3 follicles on my left 17, 18 & 23mm. Right ovary had 1 follicle at 16mm. They were all starting to collapse, so definitely ovulating. DH had 64mil swimmers. She thinks the increase in clomid sped up my ovulation. Now I wait...??✨

Aww yay that's wonderful!! And so glad she did an ultrasound!! Fingers crossed for you!! ???

How are you doing Expecting? When are you testing?
Makenna·
Feeling fine. I do have a dull ache on my side on & off, so probably another cyst. I usually always test, but think I will just wait for af. I'm never late, so if I were, I would test then. Period is due the 28th. What about you? How are you feeling? When will you test?
deleted-user·
I'm good. Testing on the 30th! I've had a headache and neck pain for 3 days now. No clue what's going on there. My uterus just feels full but my lining was a 10, so I think that's why. So hopefully I get a BFP or I'm going to have one hell of a period!
deleted-user·
Hope you and Brandee are hanging in there!! Thinking of you two girlies! ?
Makenna·
Thanks Fiona! I'm having af symptoms unfortunately, so just waiting. How are you feeling?! Your u/s is this week right?!
deleted-user·
Aww try to stay positive! You just never know! (Although you know your body the best) still crossing my fingers for you.
I've been good, totally feeling the morning sickness (I didn't have this with my first) ?? and yes Thursday is the ultrasound 9am?
deleted-user·
Did you test Expecting?
Makenna·
Yes, negative for me.? Not sure what we will do now. Probably IVF in April. How about you?!
deleted-user·
We have an IVF consult on February 9th so I'm hoping to start in march. I really wanted to be pregnant before April, as that's the month I got pregnant last time. Not sure if I could handle getting pregnant then and being due the same month as my last pregnancy. I think it would be hard emotionally. I guess it's all going to happen as it should. I'm just drained.
deleted-user·
Hey I was thinking about you! How are you? Have you set up an appointment yet? I'm actually looking forward to not testing or taking medication this month! I'm just going to relax this month!
Makenna·
Hi brandee! I'm actually doing my last IUI tomorrow morning. I only have one 22mm follicle, so we'll see. If this doesn't work, I plan to transfer 2 embryos I have from Oct IVF, they are very poor quality though. If that doesn't take, I'll be doing IVF again in April. How are you? You have your IVF consult coming up!
deleted-user·
When it came close to ovulation time, they would do transvaginal ultrasounds using water instead of gel on the wand
deleted-user·
Good luck on the IUI! FX you get your BFP from this cycle!
IVF consult this Thursday! Ready to get started!
deleted-user·
How did the IUI go? ??for you!
Makenna·
It was fine. I only had one mature follicle and DH's count was very good. We shall see. Can't wait for your update about your consult tomorrow!
deleted-user·
It only takes one!!!! I really hope you get your BFP!!!!! I'm excited for the appointment!
deleted-user·
Following up on you lady! Fingers crossed for this round of IUI!! This could be the winner!
Sending you all the good vibes I can muster up! ?

When are you testing?
Makenna·
AF is due 2/21. I usually get pre af symptoms, so if I do I won't even test and just wait. I hate seeing the negative tests month after month.
deleted-user·
??for you!
deleted-user·
How are you feeling?
Makenna·
Hi! I feel like I'm getting ready to start AF. So just waiting, so I can start meds for a FET. How are you?!
deleted-user·
I'm sorry. Good luck with the FET!!! I have my phone protocol tomorrow and I'll start stims on CD 2, which will be 2/27 or 2/28.
