so went from my ultrasound, the 15mm is now 16mm and the 12mm still the same so I have to take gonal f this morning, then tomorrow morning take an LH stick, if negative take gonal f and go back on thursday and if positive call the clinic and IUI will be on thursday. I think it will be negative as its pretty early, so that means 2 more days of gonal f....I dont think the 2nd follicle is going to grow but hopefully the larger one will be a little larger.
its a bit annoying to spend $668 in medications for only one follicle, and the nurse was saying they always start off people slowly on the injectables just incase. She said I responded well to the Clomid so thats probably why I was on the lower dose and the first cycle is unfortunately a difficult one. but the good news is this is great prep for IVF as they will have a couple of months info to be able to be correct about IVF dosage first time.
I had a massive chat with her about IVF and feeling really excited, I think I can find the money for November and so just need to confirm with my FS who I meet later this month. I dont need anymore tests, just the FS has to decide the protocol for me and whether I still do IUI next month or prepare for the IVF. I feel so excited I honestly am not that bothered about these next couple of months!!!
Sounds like a great plan!!! And watch you get your bfp because your focusing on the IVF, i am doing the same thing, its like why bother, lets just get to the IVF and have a chance at getting pg lol. I have heard that its better to grow the follies slowly rather than rushing them, so i think your doc has the right idea, and hey dont rule them out, all you need is one egg and one sperm, this could be your cycle!!
I hate those people that give out false hope, but here I go encouraging everyone. . . .
I was taking the classes for IVF after 3 failed IUIs. My husband really wanted to try IUI one more time while taking the classes. I said fine. It would take a few weeks to get everything organized for IVF anyway. (I also had ZERO pma left).
Never got my period to start IVF. That 4th IUI was successful.
Hoping it works out this way for you Sarah and onmymind!
oooooh I like this post from you, very positive!!!!!!
I think IUIs could work, Im just fed up and want to try and IVF. Also November conception / August birth is my ideal (but of course I dont want to think like that as so much has to go right for that to be successful). I just want to try and IVF before the snow comes in January as already I have to leave 2 hours to get to the clinic, so probably wont be doing treatments in the Winter unless I pay to live in a hotel downtown during my monitoring!!
also forgot to mention the nurse said injectables dont make your eggs better, which is different to what a lot of people on here say. she said theres no medication to actually make your eggs better, only enhance the amount therefore making it more likely theres a good egg in there. she said injectables gives a boost that improve the overall health of the follicles if that makes sense, but it doesnt guarantee a good egg.
Hard to beleive I work in technology
and post it
that this IUI is sucessful!!
I've heard the same thing about injectables being damaging in high doses. The whole process is nerve racking
