IUI cycle 4 (3/8/11 - 30/8/11)

Fourth Cycle IUI

3/8/11: (CD1 of Cycle 4)

Got my period early hours of this morning and had scan this afternoon. There were no follicles left from last cycle so was giving my injections for this cycle to do on CD5,7,9 they considered not using clomid this cycle but the decided at last min to use clomid as usual. I explained i never had a LH surge this cycle so she has confirmed the follicles were empty of eggs like i thought ah well what cam you do? Anyways because Af came this morning counting this as CD1 i had follicle scan next friday to see whats happening so if follicles are big enough and on right side etc that friday then might be a natrual DTD cycle instead of injecting the swimmers lol but if not then will be given more gonal-f for sat then trigger on sunday for insemination on the following monday but got to wait and see i'd be happy with natrual cycle as OH has super sperm anyways

4/8/11: (CD2 of Cycle 4)well 2nd day of cycle and period its bloody killer this cycle due to start Clomid tonight, few days before the first lot of injections i have not made a YouTube video for a while so might try and made one tonight if i get a chance. i got a dongle for my house but getting virgin installed on Saturday so will be back to normal in next few days but like a war zone here my OH and DS at each other’s throats  makes me really sad to have to listen to it.

5/8/11: (CD3 of Cycle 4)Another day of Clomid and period starting to calm down thankfully see what this cycle brings

7/8/11: (CD5 of Cycle 4) first day of injections had double dose this injection but all the others are single injections still taking Clomid last day tomorrow on that then next injection in 2 days hate doing these injections least tomorrow is a needle free day

9/8/11: (CD7 of Cycle 4)
2nd lot of injections today, forgot all about it at first then spent hours trying to do it kept chickening out i don't know why i have days like this where i feel i am unable to do the injections but i know needs must got the hospital tomorrow so i know won’t be having a needle free day

10/8/11: (CD8 of Cycle 4)
was at the hospital today because my breathing is getting really bad so had to have x-rays, breathing tests and they wanted to do a CT scan but because i had one done in 2010 i asked them to look at that one first before giving me another one, they also took lots of blood to test and see if i have any more allergies than i know about.... so we'll see what that comes back as he wants to change my meds and have to talk to infertility clinic about this first as won’t be able to take the meds if the clinic say no. so have to wait and see they might not even do anything anyways. I have to go back and see him in 10 weeks so in middle of October will be getting more tests if i am not pregnant before then.

11/8/11: (CD9 of Cycle 4) today was the last day of my injections kept putting it off because keep getting phobic again which isn't good but done it in the end, i have my first scan in the morning to see if the drugs have worked, if i have developed OHSS again or if we have to wait mature the follicles some more or if they will make me ovulate and me and OH just DTD. here's hoping they will just make me ovulate and me and OH can just DTD because i really cannot afford to go in on Monday, my son has an autism assessment on Monday which i cannot cancel so just hoping the hospital (infertility clinic) understand this i have to put the needs of my living child first.

12/8/11: (CD10 of Cycle 4)
Went for scan today and sadly not very great news, but guess it could always have been worse... there were 2 follicles one on my left 1.2 and one on my right 1.3. so not great plus the clinic is now closed until Monday and my son has as assessment on Monday morning so unable to get an appointment at clinic till late Monday which means i will likely have already ovulated but need to wait and see what they find on Monday, they told us to have sex over the weekend anyways just in case i have been testing with ovulation tests just in case i usually don't ovulate till CD 14-15 so hopefully that will be the case and will be able to get the trigger injection Tuesday and do IUI on Wednesday i really hope some more follicles pop up before then i am unsure what they are going to do since there is a follicle on my left ovary but will have to wait and see will update asap xxx

15/8/11: (CD13 of Cycle 4)
Well went for scan today and there was a follicle on my right ovary which was 1.7 so they offered me afternoon IUI at the clinic. in the morning i had my son at the mental health clinic which was fun so it was an all go day... going to be a long week as now at the hospital tomorrow and Wednesday to, James is meant to start back at nursery on Wednesday but having to cancel because i had to go to the hospital. He is going back on Thursday though so that should be good. Was given my HCG injection to do today and ended up like the last time doing it on the train because it had to be done 10mins after my appointment was finished lol ops. Anyways least was done back tomorrow at 1:45pm least it’s not a morning IUI lol


16/8/11: (CD14 of Cycle 4 IUI Day)
at 1:45 handed in my OH's sample and had to go away for 2 hours for the to prepare the sample, i ended up going to get something to eat and this time i took my netbook with me so watched some true blood which i am addicted to again  so that helped pass the time for sure, then was time to go back the sample was good and they done the IUI at 3:45 it wasn't as sore as the last time but i had alot more bleeding this time but rested to the best i could as James is away at his great grandmothers till tomorrow anyways back at hospital tomorrow afternoon for post IUI scan.

Well had scan this afternoon and they said i have alot of fluid around my uterus and ovaries so not sure what that’s about had it last time also. the scan also showed that i had a collapsed follicle again unsure what that’s about the nurse didn't sound too hopeful but said "you never know" so my Period is due on 29th and to call them on 6th September if the witch doesn't show up but i am sure she will. I am also going back to studying on 29th lol so going to be a mad day. I can't even test early because of the hCG injection lol ah well waiting game now

20/8/11: (CD18 of Cycle 4 - 4dpiui)
no symptoms today but still early days keep wanting to test but i know A it’s pointless and B i have hCG in my system because of the injection so just have to wait it out and see what happens. least i don't have to trek to the hospital now until late September early October because we are taking a month off we really need it !!!


23/8/11: (CD21 of Cycle 4 - 7dpiui)
before today i didn't really think about being pregnant and this cycle much at all been sooo busy with other things but when i got home today i felt weirdly tired as if i was going to pass out then i started feeling really full and sickly although i hadn't eaten much, and tonight while getting sorted for bed i feel as if my boobs are little bigger/fuller? I don’t know probably losing my mind lol

26/8/11: (CD24 of Cycle 4 - 10dpiui)
Done a hpt test and thought i seen something but think it’s all in my head lol going to wait to test see what happens

29/8/11: (CD27 of Cycle 4 - 13dpiui)
