In my first IUI cycle, took the trigger shot today and IUI is the day after tomorrow. I have 2 follicles - 16mm and 24mm in size. Looking for input from anyone on here who has gone through the IUI process. Please send positive vibes.

Sending positive vibes indeed! My first ever IUI was in May with ~5% chance of success given my age plus male factor in the mix. RE advised to treat it as a test run. Just had the 6 week ultrasound and saw the little tadpole’s heartbeat. 🥰 Good luck!

Good luck! Sending you positive vibes. The procedure was super quick, felt like a Pap smear and I laid down for 15 mins afterwards. The one thing I wish someone drilled in my head was not to have high hopes that the first one will work. Mine didn’t and I was beyond bummed/depressed. Apparently the more you do, the better your chances are, so just try to manage your expectations in case it’s not successful so you’re not a wreck like I was.

Thanks!! Positive vibes for all of us 🤞🏼

I’ve done two IUI so far. Your numbers are really good. Don’t be nervous. It will be fine. It’s no more invasive then a pap. Good luck! 😘

Good luck! I am possibly doing my first IUI next week. What was your lining like? I am being told mine is still on the thin side so I have to wait. 😩

Sorry, I don't remember that but my E2 was 140.

Advice and/or consolation anyone? My wife and I (both above average health 30year olds) were trying for 11 months before getting pregnant and then had a week 5 early miscarriage a few months back. If the stress and surprise of just how difficult it apparently is to get pregnant wasn’t enough, the miscarriage put us over. We got back to it and have been trying for the last 2 months again, still no luck. We’re freaking out… all we want is a family. Any similar stories? Advice? 😢

Stupid Question- We have been thinking for IVF and trying to understand with this process, is there any difference in the health and life of the child as compared to a child born without IVF. I did ask this with our doctor and he said casually its all same. This is not to question any doctor but just to really understand what is going to be different with the kid. This is not very old technology and not much studies as well.

One of my out of state REs is suggesting that birth control for three weeks before having starting a cycle.
