2nd iui with 100mg clomid

[Mommies2b]

After a few months of trying to ovulate naturally we tried 50mg clomid. This amount was not sufficient so we went with 100mg clomid. I took the drug provera to stimulate my mense and then from day 3-7 I was on 100mg Clomid. I surged naturally on day 16.I had 3 mature follicles and gave permission to do iui with the chance of multiples. On cycle 17 I had my first iui and it was PAINFULL! cramps right away that lasted about 50 min. I laid on the dr bed for an hour which helped. Then I stayed laying down on my couch the rest of the day at home.
I felt every pregnancy symptom in the book for two weeks. Then I started spotting, this made me more excited....implantation bleed?? --nope I got my period. I tried 3 pregnancy tests all negative.
My fertility DR wants mento have a period again before doing a 2nd iui. So if I don't start by July 28th then I call the clinic and start Provera again.

My wife and I have been together almost 9 years and married for almost 7. We want the opportunity like all on this forum to parent.

I know the feeling, you just don't know what to expect, all the luck to you and your wife stay strong and hold in there.

Hi,
I know its been months ago but I wanted to ask how your 2nd IUI went?
I was given the same drugs as you... 100mg Clomid d3-7 and provera to start my mense as I very rarely start myself, maybe 4-5 times a year. Clomid works great. Lovely follicles!
My 1st IUI was painful, have cramps for two days. Then got my period.
2nd IUI was not painful at all. I didn't cramp. It also didn't work and I got my period d31.
After looking at my tests the Dr can see that my lining just isn't getting that boost of oestrogen to help implantation. So we are skipping a cycle and I'm taking Fematab 4mg a day (tried 2mg but it had no affect at all) for the first 12 days of my cycle to help build a thicker lining before my 3rd IUI. So fingers crossed in the new year.

Hi, the first 2 times we did clomid, then switched to Letrozole(femera) for our third try....way better for the lining. We will try again in the new year

My first iui was super crampy during it and for about an hour afterwards. The second and third were fine though. I also use Provera.
I was really down in a rut after the third time didnt work. I let myself feel sorry for myself for a month and then we decided we would take a 4 month rest as the medications made me a little crazy

Best of luck to you!

Hi,
Yes the medications can make you really crazy. I was crying my eyes out at nothing one day and at the same time laughing uncontrolably at myself. Crazy!

I think the break until January will give me time to get a hopeful skip in my step again. The negative tests, though I've only had two, are very hard. This time last year we talked about starting a family and thought I would at least have a bump for Christmas. But still, I don't have to stress about provera/clomid/fematab/hcg/iui for a whole 6 weeks! I'm on holidays!!

Best of luck to you, lets keep in touch. I think we are both in the same boat
