Hi, I am new to your forum.  I will start my HMG injections today prepraring for our first round of IUI. I had an ultrasound and blood work done this AM.  I don't know what to expect.  We've tried for over a year.  Our 2 year anniversary is day after tomorrow. We are both thrilled to get started. Is there anyone else beginning a cycle in October?  What is BFP and dh??

Welcome to the forum.. this is such a great place to vent and learn as much as you can from others who have been through similar circumstances.

Good luck to you this cycle... the best is to stay positive...learn as much as you can about treatment options and listen to your body!

Good luck to you!

The IUI was this AM.  I start the two week wait.  I have bloating and I feel full all of the time.  My doc is concerned about hyperstimulation syndrome.  I have to measure my abdominal girth, output, keep the intake to LESS THAN A LITER PER DAY and call him if I gain more than five pounds in 5 days.  Meanwhile my husband is gloating over his sperm count after washing.  What a turkey!

OHSS can be very serious.  I hope it doesn't get too bad for you.  5 lbs in 5 days??  Yikes!  Wouldn't it be nice if we could lose it like that too?

Anyway, just wanted to wish you good luck britton!!

That cracked me up, your husband gloating over his sperm count!! My husband has two kids from a previous marriage (he is 10 years older than me) and he thought he was fine but his count was somewhat abnormal.  It's funny how it can change over time.  Anyway, I have bad endo so I am on my first round of IVF. The endo destroyed my left side so IUI was not for us, although we did try one cycle.  Good luck to you!! I wish you guys the best!
