IUI GIRLS General chat , Clomid etc

[future_numan]

Well it's offical, we will have our 1st IUI in April. After talking over our situation with the fertility DR's it was decided that will use clomid starting on day 3 to 7. Also since DH is away alot with work we decided to freeze some sperm (just in case he isn't in town on O day) if at all possible we would like to use fresh but we want to be covered so we don't waste a cycle. Has anyone ever heard of couples conceiving with banked sperm? The DR assured us that it doesn't harm "the little guys" in any way or effect our chances to conceive. I still have my reservations tho.

Hi

Very dissapointed today, on IUI and have been taken injections for 8 days went for a scan on monday and the follicies was 14 was told to carry on taking the injections went back today and the follicies is 15 and it needs to be at least 17+. The hospital is shut saturday and sunday so if I ovulate then I will have to miss out this cycle so ploughed all those drugs into myself for nothing not to mention the emotional rollercoster. I am having another scan on Friday so holding on to every chance that it may go ahead.

That shocks me that your clinic is closed on the weekends!!

I can't believe your clinic isn't open on weekends either! What a waste of time and money, not to mention the toll this takes on your body.

Do you have other options for a different clinic? It seems like a big chance to take every month.

Good luck... and I hope you don't ovulate!! (not something we usually say on this board )

Hi

That's the NHS for you so not paying for it but you are right about having a wasted month with what it does to your body and not to mention your emotions. Fingers crossed for tomorrow but I feel I have started to ovulate.

You could look at doing an at home insemination if it falls on the weekend.

Hi Vineyard

Did not know you could do home insemination might find out about that for the future. Went to hospital today and I haven't ovulated and I have two follicies 16+ and 18+ so that's good news. I had a choice if IUI to be done monday or tuesday so I opted for tuesday as then the second follicie may grow a bit then hopefully have more of a chance.

Good luck! Those are great follies for an insemination. I hope the timing works out for you!
