Hello,
A little about my situation:
Me-30, DH-33
His SE numbers are good. About 90 mil post wash with 57% motility.
I got into a jet ski accident and had emergency surgery when I was 17. So I am dealing with scarred tissue/adhesions. Both tubes are still open but the right side is pulled straight. Left side normal shape. Of course, my right ovary is the dominant one... Go figure.
IUI #1 50mg Clomid + trigger = 2 follies
IUI #2 100mg Clomid + Gonal F300 + trigger = 2 good size follies and a smaller one on left side 14.
*Skipped cycle due to cyst* (the 14 didn't ovulate and kept growing!)
Started acupuncture and herbs on my month off and tried natural cycle I ovulated from my right side again (I could feel it). Cut out coffee (replaced with green tea), sugar, and gluten from diet. Increased greens and alkaline foods. Room temp water only per acupuncture doc.
RE thinks maybe scarred tissue is blocking the eggs from getting into the tubes but not sure yet. Says to at least try a third IUI before IVF.
SO here we are IUI #3 in a few days. I have my US on Sunday to check the follies. Right now on 100mg Clomid and Gonal F 300.
Considering doing a back to back to increase the chances of getting the timing right. My doc swears that I'll ovulate 36 hours after the trigger so it isn't needed but the last two IUI's I felt O pains the day before my IUI. I'm a little torn... We pay out of pocket for the IUI itself so it would be twice the cost. And our last shot before IVF.
So back to back IUI for #3 or go for a round #4 before IVF if this one is neg. What would you do?
Any back to back IUI success stories?
