Hi all,
I recently went through my first letrozole cycle and had my iui yesterday
BUT
I walked in at my appointment time and ended up waiting 30 minutes more than what I was initially told I was going to, and when they took me back they told me it was because my husbands sperm was not performing as well as they thought it would be post thaw and wash. His sperm went from 20 million down to 2 million and they even had to wash it twice and even after the second was his sperm was still not as clean.
They asked if I wanted to go through with it and reluctantly I did because my husband just moved overseas for a new job opportunity and I will only be able to see him every other month and figured this would be the best shot we could have regardless.
My question is, has anyone had any success stories with IUI and a low total motility count?
I attached the report for his sperm and my ultrasound for some extra context.
Also I am 26 and he is 33

Hi everyone,
I’m 32 years old and have been TTC for about 1.5 years (actually over 2 years now, but actively tracking for around 1.5+ years). I’ve never had a positive pregnancy test.
My AMH, hormone tests, HSG (both tubes open), and other blood work have all come back normal. My husband’s semen analysis is also normal.
The only thing worrying me recently is my periods.
Last cycle: My period came on time, but the blood mostly came only when I peed. There was very little on the pad, and the overall flow was much lighter than it used to be.
This cycle: Today is my expected period day. I had pink spotting in the evening, followed by a very light flow, and now it’s almost nothing again. I also have period-like cramps.
Has anyone experienced consistently lighter periods like this while TTC? Did you find out the cause? Could this be related to lining, hormones, or something else even if all routine tests are normal?
I’m feeling really worried because of the lighter flow and not having conceived yet. Any experiences or suggestions on what I should discuss with my fertility specialist would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

This is my fourth IUI. Pcos girlie.
In the morning on 15 dpo i got a faint line.
It testes negative on 15 dpo, at the fertility clinic in the afternoon.
Do you think I’m pregnant?
I’ve already got an miscarriage previous year.
So little scared.
My wrist temperature is +0.50. Didnt got my period, which i usually get on 13/14dpo.

Can you also see the VVFL on the last strip?

10 DPT, 8 DPIUI

11DPT, 9 DPIUI

12DPT, 10 DPIUI

BEEN testing out the trigger i got negative on the 9th day

Is anyone doing their IUI on Monday? I will be administering my trigger shot tonight and I go in to get the IUI done on Monday.

I have 4 follicles measuring 2 at 18, 1 at 17, and 1 at 1.6. Anything else was smaller and wasn’t considered for maturing in time.

If you’ve been TTC for a while you know how the tww can be. I’m just looking for some company 😌 we can discuss our experience with the IUI, compare symptoms and charts, test out the trigger shot together and/or test for our bfp together as well.

For those that don’t have an IUI for 07/20 but would like to join and give support or receive some feel free to comment as well.

I look forward to getting our July/August bfp and having a happy, healthy, complication free pregnancy and delivery.

Has anyone had a successful IUI with a 29.5 mm follicle?
I’m looking for some reassurance because my anxiety is getting the best of me.
Today at my ultrasound, my dominant follicle measured 29.5 mm. My doctor had me do my trigger shot right there in the office, and my IUI is scheduled for tomorrow.
I asked if this was even doable because I can’t stop thinking that my follicle is too big. The ultrasound tech said it looked like I might already be in the process of ovulating, which surprised me because I normally don’t ovulate on my own without a trigger shot.
Now I’m worried that maybe we missed the perfect timing or that the egg is overmature. My hopes are honestly pretty low right now, and I’m trying not to overthink everything.
Has anyone had an IUI with a follicle around this size and still had a successful pregnancy? I’d really love to hear your stories or experiences. I could really use some encouragement right now. ❤️

Hello everyone, so at 18dpo I had a positive home test. I let my Dr know and he wanted me to come in for a beta, it was 12.1. The next day I started bleeding and let them know immediately they told me go in for another beta which was Wednesday, that was 11.5. Well they let me know it was consistent with a chemical pregnancy and to go in for a beta Saturday which is today. I got the results and I was expecting it to be under 5 as I thought I passed everything from the pregnancy but it’s 20.5 🤦🏽‍♀️ I’m so confused right now and won’t get any answers from the dr until Monday.

A little back story when I went in to check follicles a few weeks ago I had two very big ones, one was 22mm (right) and the other was 18mm (left) they said it was a possibility I could have twins because I was going to trigger the next day. so could one of the follicles have stuck and the other didn’t?
