2nd IUI, I think we missed it...Update 8/26

I knew I was up for Ovulating either Sunday or Monday (after confirmation via sonogram).

I tested Saturday evening & got -OPK. Woke up Sunday to a temp drop of 96.91. I knew this ONLY happens on Ovulation for me. So I tested around 8 (3 hour hold) & got a +OPK. I called the lab & told her the entire situation. She spoke with the nurses & they said it was "too early" so to come tomorrow.

I wake up today & temp spiked to 97.71 DH went & gave his sample. I spoke with my nurse & she said she has no idea why they told me to "not come" yesterday. She feels we might have missed it but we can't chance it so I go at 2:15 for IUI

I am so depressed right now. We did it all right this month Right now I have a dull ache though on the left side so who the heck knows.

What do you ladies think??

Update:

So I went & we did the IUI. DH's sample was increased from last time but still on the low side of what they like for IUI. We did an internal sonogram & we could see all 3 follicles were in there. DH's sperm are lazy though & his motility in the washed sample seems to be on the slow side. The RE said we should seriously consider IVF bc there is so many options & with male IF only, it is higher in success rates. I cried & cried bc I know this was the last thing we wanted to hear. With no IVF coverage, it is going to be difficult. The RE did make the nurse take blood & I am waiting on those results to see when indeed I did ovulate. My temp spiked even higher this morning to 97.94 (yesterday 97.71).

I go back 9/8 for a sonogram & to discuss the next step.

don't lose hope, there is still a window there! I am so sorry they told you not to come in. I swear, I really think sometimes we know more than these drs and nureses!

Good Luck, try to stay positive, it can only help!!!

Re: 2nd IUI, I think we missed it...

Good luck I hope there is still time.

I will cross my fingers for you.

Re: 2nd IUI, I think we missed it...

I think you're fine I had 4 iui and if went it right after +OPK I hadn't ovulated and then theywould have me go back then next day.

here's sending you some

Oh, I'm so sorry! Hopefully the egg is still waiting and the time will be good since they won't have to hang around waiting for the egg.

Re: 2nd IUI, I think we missed it...

I think you should consider letting your RE track your ovulation with blood and sono if this month doesn't work out. Once I started fertility treatments, I no longer used OPK or temping.

Re: 2nd IUI, I think we missed it...

Hope it all works out Kristen. I also thought that my last IUI was done too late as well. I surged on a Friday evening and Saturday morning. I wanted to go in for the IUI on Saturday afternoon as to not miss the wondow of opportunity but the doctor insisted I wait till Sunday. I really thought waiting till Sunday would make me miss it. Well it tuned out Sunday wasnt too late b/c I ended up getting pregnant. Good luck!!

Re: 2nd IUI, I think we missed it...

Don't give up hope, Kristen! It is still possible. Perhaps the egg is about to drop and the spermies will be there waiting for it. I am praying for you darling!!

Re: 2nd IUI, I think we missed it...

Good what happened to me this cycle will hopefully be helpful to you. I too thought I O'd when my temp dips. But, this cycle I had to get b/w because the OPK's were not working for me. I went on CD14 (now I always O by this day at if not on) and thought for sure its way too late. My temps dipped that morning, I can show you my chart if you want. But, my b/w indicated I was just surging. And I temped about 3 hours before the b/w. So, there goes months of thinking one thing and finding out another.

So, I just learned that you cannot rely on temps. Even though my patterns are identical every month. I'm still trying to accept this really, but nothing is more accurate than the b/w.

Oh and that day I had pains in the area of the ovaries. But, i did not O until maybe the next day or day and a half.

I think you will be OK.

Re: 2nd IUI, I think we missed it...

I am with the other girls, go for it! Tests are only so 'accurate'.

Re: 2nd IUI, I think we missed it...

I've seen this soooooooo many times on the boards...but the Drs. know what they are doing.
You ovulate 24-36 hours after a surge is detected. This means that the sperm are right where they are supposed to be, when they are supposed to be there.
Good luck!!
