I'm feeling a little better today..when you don't get pregnant right away TTC definitely has its emotional ups and downs. I had my scan today and got my prescription for femara and trigger shot. The women who did my scan today was very sweet and we came up with a good plan for the month. I'll be going back on CD 10 and hopefully if everything looks good IUI on CD 11 or 12. I feel a lot more hopeful and pray an IUI is the extra help my body needs.
Very frustrated:/ sorry long needed to vent
I know I'm not the specialist so last month I did my best to trust the fertility clinics recommendations for my first IUI.
I had my CD 3 scan and they prescribed femara and a trigger shot. I was to take the meds CD 3-7. She said to come back on CD 12 for midcycle scan. I expressed i have a shorter cycle and usually ovulate earlier around CD 12 and maybe I should come earlier. She said they do scans on CD 12 and and if I came earlier on CD 11 which was a fri and wasn't ready yet that I wouldn't be able to get iui because of holiday. So I asked her what her recommendation was and she said CD 12 since I have never taken the meds CD 3-7 and wasn't entirely sure how my body would respond I agreed.
On CD 11 I was having some O pains I thought but hoping I was wrong and went for my scan on CD 12 and had one huge follicle almost 26mm. I thought that was weird since the time before when I took femara I had 4 follicles 2 on each side. She seemed rushed during my appt and just said to trigger that evening and schedule iui for CD 14. I asked her what happens if I ovulate earlier that day and she just said you will anyways because of trigger shot. So again I was trying to trust them ..a few hours later I'm having O pains again. I did trigger sat night as I was told do and went for iui on CD 14 morning. I asked the lady while she was doing my iui what size follicle means ur about to ovulate she said between 25-26 and so I told her that was what my size was on CD 12 and I was worried I ovulated more than one follicle on CD 11 and CD 12 and she said if that was the case it would be too late for the iui to work.
I left my iui appt with my husband mad instead of happy because I was fairly certain everything I just did and spent was a big waste.
So of course as expected I started my period Fri evening and have to call the clinic in the morning. My period date confirms for me when I ovulated. I need to make my appointment in the morning for my scan and to get meds so I pray this month goes more smoothly and I hit the right days for my iui.
Sorry so long I needed to rant I'm just very upset at how everything went for my first IUI

My last IUI I ovulated too early and it was a waste of money I was so annoyed I immediately started my IVf appointments before I even got my period.

Mine doesn't either we did 5 IUIs and have our frozen egg transfer tomorrow from our one and only ivf cycle
IUIs can be tricky with timing. I did four IUI cycles and had no success. Got anywhere from 1-3 follicles each time. I took Letrozole with a trigger and I took Letrozole from day 3-7 and went in for my scans on day 12. I was ready to trigger in all cycles but one.

I think at least knowing we did it the right time will make me feel so much better

my doctor said in my appointment we will take all the guessing out of it and time everything perfectly. Obviously that didn't happen the first month so I hope to get it right this next time.
