first IUI
Question:
It’s a go. I got the okay to start my Fertinex, 4 ampules, tomorrow night for my first IUI cycle. I am kind of excited even though I don’t think this will get me pregnant but at least I feel like I am doing something productive. This will give my re information about how I react to Fertinex so that next month I will take Lupron, and then January I will do IVF. My husband’s sperm count ranges from 2.5 million to 4 million per cc of mobile sperm. not so high but I think it is enough for the IVF with or without ICSI. So here we go. Abby

Hi all. Well this is my first day on Fertinex, 4 ampules. I feel drugged and real tired. I have taken 2 naps today already. Is this normal? It sure is better than clomid. On Clomid I felt so angry and irritable. I don’t feel that way on Fertinex. Last night the shot my husband gave me hurt but he thinks he didn’t hold the skin right. Better luck tonight. I feel like I am on a drug trip that isn’t ending. I read other people’s email and I feel so bad whenever I read that someone has not gotten pregnant during another cycle. My heart goes out to you. And I am just beginning this road trip. Maybe this drug is making me a little emotional. I took my dog to the bet and they needed to take blood from her. I usually don’t like to see her get blood taken but today I just felt so much for her. Like how could I do this to her. mmmh sounds a little emotional to me. Take care everyone. Abby
Response:
The needle doesn’t hurt its the drug. Don’t worry about the skin. Just get the drug in as quickly as possible. Good luck
Response:
abby hope this will be the first andf last cycle of fertinex that you will need. its not as bad as chlomid so i guess we all pull through it somehow debby
Response:
Also make sure that the alcohol has dried, this can make it sting. I also get very tired toward the last few says of taking fertinex. Good luck.

Please tell me what the effects of taking clomid are, as well as what an IUI procedure feels like. Painful? As painful as an HSG? Please advise, Lisa
Response:
I only get hot flashes from clomid and a little irritated. IUI was not painful. The first had a sharp pain and that was it. The second no pain at all. Feels like a regular pap. Sometimes if they nick the cervix you will get a little pain and there can be some spotting and cramping that evening after. Sonia

I am a little (alot) crabby on clomid (200mg./day), but that’s about it. the IUI hurt the first time (little pinch) because my cervix wasn’t opened fully, however, the next day i went it, it was clearly open and the tube slid right in. Very little spotting occured. kelly
Response:
Clomid doesn’t involve any pain, just mood swings as would most hormone altering drugs. But it works, I have a three year old and four month old twins, all a result of Clomid. I got pregnant with the twins after only one month of Clomid. Good Luck!

<<Clomid doesn’t involve any pain, just mood swings as would most hormone altering drugs. My first 2 cycles of clomid were excruciatingly painful. My ovaries hurt so badly, all I could do was cry and lay down for weeks, and could barely move. It was sheer agony. However, I am an unusual case…..I hadn’t ovulated *at all* in the prior 16 years (severe pcos), so my ovaries weren’t used to any stimulation. After that, stim cycles were a *lot less* painful, even with injectables. So yes, for some, clomid can cause a great deal of physical pain. However, I didn’t have any mood swings. By the way, clomid *doesn’t* work for everyone…I only ovulated 3 out of 8 cycles with it, and many don’t ovulate with it at all (especially those w/PCOS).
Response:
Lisa, clomid effects everyone differently. Most people I know didn’t feel anything at all. I was very irratable and moody. It made my period last alot longer, and after 2 months I developed a cycst from it. But that doesn’t happen to everyone, and the cycst was no big deal. I just had to go off the clomid for 1 month and do a natural IUI cycle. IUI doesn’t hurt very much at all. The 2 week wait is probably the worst part. don’t worry about the procedure, it really isn’t bad at all, and lasts about 5 minutes. Lisa
Response:
everyone is different but i was really moody and had a lot of hot flashes but mostly under my arms { strange but true } iui was painful only around 20 minutes later. crampy. but others have said it never bothered them. good luck lori
