April 6

Hey there! It's been ages! I've got some incredible news to share – I'm pregnant! Today marks 5 weeks and 2 days. Can you believe it? The first round of IUI worked like a charm. My partner is over the moon, already brainstorming baby names, obsessing over baby gear, and planning out parental leave arrangements. It's absolutely heartwarming!

Amidst all the excitement, I started a new job just three days after getting the positive test result. It's been a whirlwind, and honestly, I haven't had a moment to let it all sink in properly. But now that it's Saturday, I finally have some downtime to process everything. So far, besides dealing with chronic constipation and that one random day of intense hazelnut cravings (which, by the way, I usually can't stand), I haven't felt too different. But I'm sure it'll all start feeling more real soon.

Cycle 1 Day 2; 01.30.2023

Bruh... This past cycle was frickin 41 days long... By the time it finally came I was begging for it to just start so I could get it over with. Not as much pain as normally, but that could just be attributed to the fact that I took Naproxen as soon as I was spotting.

I watched a webinar today that went over weight and fertility. According to the chart my BMI is overweight and slightly close to obese (I am 5'9" and roughly 200 lbs., and my BMI is 29.9) which means there could be some complications when it comes to IUI. But my clinic's cut off BMI for IUI was 44 I believe so I know I'm nowhere close but it still sort of made me want to get healthier that much more than I already want to. I actually signed up for a yoga class for this Thursday!! Very proud of myself.

Also my 29th birthday is next week!! Weird to think that hopefully this time next year I'll be growing a little one!

In the realm of fertility treatments, Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) stands as a procedure designed to augment the likelihood of fertilization by directly depositing sperm into the woman's uterus. Often employed to address specific fertility challenges, IUI distinguishes itself as a less invasive and more cost-effective alternative to In Vitro Fertilization (IVF).

Understanding the Basics of IUI: What You Need to Know

Introduction

When it comes to fertility treatments, Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) is a commonly recommended option for couples facing difficulties in conceiving. Dr. Aarti Parakh, a renowned Infertility Doctor in Nashik, specializes in IUI treatment and is committed to helping couples on their journey to parenthood. In this article, we will delve into the basics of IUI, shedding light on what you need to know about this effective and increasingly popular fertility treatment.

What Is IUI?

IUI, short for Intrauterine Insemination, is a minimally invasive assisted reproductive technique that aims to increase the chances of pregnancy. During an IUI procedure, carefully processed and concentrated sperm are directly inserted into the woman's uterus, bypassing the cervix. This method helps sperm reach the fallopian tubes more easily, increasing the likelihood of fertilization.

Who Is a Candidate for IUI?

IUI is often recommended for couples who face specific fertility challenges, including:

Unexplained Infertility: When the cause of infertility remains unknown despite thorough evaluation.

Male Factor Infertility: IUI can be a solution for men with low sperm count or motility issues.

Cervical Issues: Some women may have conditions that impede the sperm's ability to pass through the cervix, making IUI a beneficial option.

Ejaculation Dysfunction: For men with difficulty ejaculating, IUI can facilitate the journey of sperm to the fallopian tubes.

Donor Sperm: Couples using donor sperm to conceive can opt for IUI.

The IUI Procedure

Ovulation Monitoring: Before the procedure, the woman's ovulation is carefully tracked. Timing is crucial, as IUI is performed just before or during ovulation to maximize the chances of success.

Sperm Preparation: The male partner's sperm is collected, processed, and concentrated in the lab. This step is essential for enhancing sperm quality and motility.

Insemination: Once the sperm is ready, a thin catheter is used to introduce it into the woman's uterus. This process is painless and typically takes only a few minutes.

Rest and Observation: After the procedure, the patient is advised to rest for a short while. There is no need for hospitalization.

Success Rates

The success of IUI treatment depends on several factors, including the cause of infertility, the age of the woman, and the quality of sperm. Typically, success rates range from 10% to 20% per cycle. Dr. Aarti Parakh will provide personalized guidance based on your specific circumstances.

Conclusion

Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) is a valuable and accessible fertility treatment that can offer hope to couples facing difficulties in conceiving. Dr. Aarti Parakh, a leading Infertility Doctor in Nashik, specializes in IUI and offers expert guidance throughout the process. If you're considering IUI as a solution to your fertility challenges, don't hesitate to consult with Dr. Parakh to explore this promising path to parenthood.

February 20

I was supposed to start my first round of IUI this month, but my egg decided to take its sweet time growing. Even though they scanned me out the day before my expected ovulation, they missed it. I found out the next day, and by then, it was too late for this cycle. Plus, me and my partner hadn't been getting too intimate in the days leading up to my ovulation.

I was pretty disappointed about not getting pregnant this time. But, we decided to go on a quick trip afterward, which was nice. The ferry ride was chaotic with all the screaming kids onboard, but weirdly enough, it made me feel a bit better about not being pregnant. It was like getting a sneak peek into our future. Guess we gotta start getting used to that idea.

Infertility Part 14: Money Stress

This was written during a period of financial stress and highlights a huge reality that most people don't consider, yet I hope can understand and relate to, as most people have some sort of financial stress in our lives. Ours is just different than most.

Warning: I do my fair share of venting in this one. I wrote this during a period of immense financial stress and frustration. This is part of the reality of infertility that many people just don’t even realize or think about. I will not apologize for the feelings I had/have, but please know that I hold no ill feelings towards those who have never dealt with this type of money stress. We all need…

Tfw you're 0-5 on IUI success, out of money, out of donor vials, and out of options. Also, not a single insurance provider in your state covers infertility services.

#and an HSG shows that your chances were slim to none from the get go #but you only find out after years of heartbreak and thousands of dollars #I was gonna put a gif here but nothing really encompasses the feeling huh #iui #ivf #ttc #infertility #I'll just fuckin die I guess

Hello! SMBC journey starts here

This is my introduction post because... this will be a long journey that will take a few years, but it involves a lot of introspection, choices, and stops along the way.

Short facts:

I'm 30 years old (1992)

Chronically single and queer

A librarian

Planning on TTC in 2026

Primarily want to do IUI but might do IVF

Doing ID-release donor

Longer story

My name is Rebecca, and I'm a 30 year old Swede who realized a long time ago that the only way I wanted to have a child was doing it on my own. There's a lot of reasons why I came to this conclusion was that I never came across anyone that I both felt that I wanted to spend my life with and shared my central ideologies and thoughts on child rearing.

Then, a few years later, I realized that I'm aromantic and asexual (closer to demisexual but not quite)... and that put a damper on things. I realized that the partner I would want was a unicorn! There's a laundry list of things in a partner that would make me feel comfortable with them, and then to have some form of attraction to (which is complicated as an aroace person bc once in a blue moon it kind of happens?) plus all these other things. Through so many dating apps and trying, and introspection of the fact that I am probably not an ideal partner for anyone either. If it happens, it happens, I just doubt it.

After this I spent a few years working with myself. I wanted to be sure I wanted children, if I would be okay with a life without children, how to bring a child to the world in the most ethical way, and how to go about it realistically. I had doubts, because I developed chronic migraines, I had a severe burnout, and was diagnosed with ADHD and autism earlier this year. At first when I was diagnosed I thought becoming a mom was off the table, but after working on myself and finding resources that will work for me, I know I can do it, and I can make these thinsg my strengths. Except the chronic migraines, but I have a very good treatment for that right now and am down to 2-4 migraines a month which is amazing, and I'm trying new medications to get the best combo.

Finally, I decided that this is what I want to do. I had this idea that when I was 33 I would go through it, because 33 seemed like this perfect age. As I'm nearing 31, though, this timeline seems a bit tight. I'm just now graduating, with my second degree, as a librarian, and I'm starting my career in august with severe debt and a horrible credit score. So, you know, need to work on that to provide a stable home for a child. I also need to move to a bigger place.

There's quite a few things I can do prior to all this. I'm building financial and housing security, I'm working on myself and creating healthy and mind boosting routines which will enable me to provide a good mom to my child. There's a lot to work on here, because there always is.

I'm listening to donor concieved children and adopted children and their experiences and desires in all of this. I am aware that there are plenty of donor concieved children who are against what I'm doing, and I do appreciate them, I cannot assume what my future child will/would think about it. I am doing this research because I want to meet the needs my child may have.

I'm doing research on evidence based child rearing, child psychology/physiology and how to best support them through different developmental phases. At some point I will also decide on media policy, which is the thing I'm most undecided on (I'm leaning towards yes pictures on closed social media with curated and known followers and pictures that take the child's current and future dignity in mind, and maybe non-face pictures on open social media after 8 weeks - before 8 weeks all babies basically look the same). So much to think about!

Then finally, financial and housing, as I've touched on before. I have a plan to get mostly debt free before I start the process. My current apartment is small, and I could live in it until the child reaches about 3, but ideally I'd already be living in a bigger place by this point.

The practical

So uh... what am I doing?

I'm planning on doing an IUI with a donor where the ID will be released when the child is 18 (and I'm going to offer to pay for all the DNA services available if that is what my child would want).

There's a few questions I have prior to this about my fertility. This month I'm going to be removing my IUD (if all goes well) and test to see how I do without it. In the autumn I'm going to take a few months to track my cycles with ovulation strips to see if I'm ovulating regularly or not. Then I'm booking an appointment to check my ovarian ducts and to see about my fertility levels like ovarian reserves etc.

I want to know that an IUI is a good choice for me because the pregnancy rate isn't very high, and I have endometriosis. IUI is cheaper, but if I have to spend many cycles going through it... it will get more expensive than IVF. So, I want to go through this as soon as possible so if I need to I can do an egg retrieval before I get "too old". There are more complications as you age, as everyone knows, and doing an egg retrieval earlier may mitigate things like chromosomal abnormalities.

While I know my family is very fertile, this is not a guarantee that I am. Prior gynecological exams have shown that I do have healthy ovaries so... but information is good, IMO.

IUI for my profile, as I know it, has a success rate of up to 15-20% (and after about 3 tries you go to IVF anyway where I'm looking), the higher end being assisted cycles with hormones. IUI does have an increased risk of twins/multiples and this... is not what I'd want. If it happens it does, but there's so many risks and it's way more difficult. IVF has a roughly 50% success rate if you have no known problems, so getting pregnant within 3 tries is highly likely.

3 cyles of IVF excluding donor sperm and medication is €6400

3 cycles of IUI excluding donor sperm and potential medication is €2400

The bonus of IVF: one retrieval round and one donor sample, but each IUI you have to buy donor sperm which can range from €800 to €3000 (highest I've seen), and with IUI you need the more expensive sample (higher sperm count and better motility) whereas with IVF you can get the lower rated. However, there's more medications that can increase the costs of IVF, and possible complications to both me and the fetus (IVF conception for some reason increases risks like heart defects).

This is why you have to take time to decide.

Long story short: this is the start of a multi year process, and this is my journey there
