Hello Gabywany,
Thank you for posting, you seem like I was when I did IUI last November. The 2ww is frustrating.
I found that I was sore after my IUI, I had a unmedicated cycle (my clinic's preference) and I had only one dominate follicle. Unfortunately it wasn't successful.
The best thing for you would be to rest and wait up, easy said than done. Don't do a HPT (urine), it is a bit early, and others on this site have had false negatives at the early stage. I actually had a BHcg done when I reached 2 weeks, I am a nurse so I organised it myself, and that I found dissappointing as it was negative.

Do hope the pain subsides.

My next IUI might be medicated next cylce,
Allegonda

Thanks for your reply. I hope everything goes well with you and baby dusts to you. It's just that I can't stand this 2ww.

Gabywany... indeed the 2ww sucks!

I too had pretty intense PMS symptoms during my last (and succesful) IUI... so as easy as it is to go out of your mind.. you've got to stay positive.

I did experience some discomfort .. mostly from swollen ovaries.. so please take it easy and rest and get lots of fluid.

I too am a very impatient person... and you can only do an HPT 4 days before your expected period date... so if you are going to do one.. wait until at least 3 or 4 days before your expected period... but don't do it any earlier or you will possibly get a false negative.. which will only make you feel worse!!

Good luck.. let us know how it goes!!!

Sooty,
I just had my first failed IVF in Jan. We are trying agian in April. Luckily my insurance cover IVF for 2 tries, so we have one try left. Husband has low count and motility as well. They recommended IVF on first go around. I am so sory to hear what you are going through. My sister-in-law just found she is prgenant so I know that feeling all to well. All I can say is stay positive. I know it is hard but there is not much else that I know will help. Chatting online helps get some steam off! Good luck! Keep your head up!

Sooty: so sorry to hear all about the IUI and cancellation...Since you must live in Jersey, Guernsey or some other island off the coast of the UK and would have to travel anyways (I gather London), you may wish to explore IVF out of the country?? NYC clinics run about 8000-10,000 USD. With the exchange rates, you are about the same and having worked in Europe twice, I find the docs in NYC to be world-class cutting edge in all disciplines, not just infertility (no offenses to anyone).

Not too long ago, I did read international cost comparisons about IVF in Wired magazine or something of that ilk. Apparently IVFs in Canada run about 5000 Canadian dollars. IVFs in Israel around about 2500-3000 USD. I believe the Canadians/Israelis have excellent medical infrastructures. You may wish to consult/reserach with a good deal of folks first.

Seems you have to pay travel and BB regardless, so maybe a venue change is also helpful? Somewhere else I read on these Shared Journey pages about "Virgin Conception"-yet another enterprise by Sir Richard to precisely address the infertility hurdles in the UK...I don't know if it is real, it sounded feasible...probably on Google.

Hope this is a little helpful.... All the very best, Diana

Sooty, keep your hopes up and hopefully your next cycle will be successful.

I just got a/f and unfortunately my first IUI was unsuccessful. I was just told by my IVF coordinator that they have giving my body a rest for this month and when I get my period again I will start a new protocol. I just have to keep a positive mindset and hope for the best. Good luck to all.

Sooty,
Keep your spirits up! A little rest time may help. Maybe you can even give it a go all by yourselves. We did! We haven't found out yet if it worked but it helped bring us closer thinking maybe we could try to conceive on our own! You never know! A miracle could happen for both of us!

I will be giving that a go for sure at least can have fun and let off a bit of steam all at the same time .Wishing all the luck in the world as it sounds that we both need a break take care x
