Hi girls.

I went for my cd 12 scan today. Been taking clomid from cd3-7, for the first time.
I've got too many follicles
5 on each side so we have to abandon this cycle. I'm so upset.

Has anyone been in this situation? What will happen next? I was only on 50 mg clomid.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Hey hi wannaBaum...I also had too many follicles my doc said we can still go ahead with the iui but he won't give me the trigger shot he wanted me to ovulate naturaly. But it's difficult to catch ovulation specially if lh kit doesn't catch the surge

I had too many follies on my first IUI cycle using gonal f. He "cancelled" cycle meaning there was no IUI done and I had to wait it out to O on my own.

As far as what will happen next with the dose of clomid that you are on, I'm not sure. I've heard of ladies having to take 25mg (cutting the pill in half).

Hmm, 5 on each side, but in mature range? How big are the follicles. Generally not all will make it to mature. I used to get 2-3 mature ones and a few or more 9-14 or 15 mm that stopped developing. I would do bloodwork each day to detect natural surge for IUI. When you o naturally, generally you can only release one or two max, with trigger most mature ones.

 

[WANBMUM]

Thanks girls
The plan is I have to get day 21 bloods to confirm ovulation. Then next cycle they want to try NO meds and monitoring to see if I can do it without the meds. I suppose they are trying to get familiar with my cycle. Next month I could have nothing I suppose I will just have to wait and see.
It's ironic as all I was worried about was not having enough if any follicles, it didn't even cross my mind I might have too many!

 

[WANBMUM]

The smallest was 16mm, majority mainly in the mid 20's though.
I know I can't believe it either.
I know the reality is that out of those only one could ovulate but they won't risk the chance of multiples through IUI.

 

[bastetgrrl]

Whoa! That's pretty crazy that they were that big! Why did they put you on clomid? Did they offer to convert this cycle to IVF cycle since there were so many mature follies?

 

[WANBMUM]

When they originally checked my follicles when I was having fertility tests, they were concerned as they said they could only see one follicle on one side. No others. So I guess that's why I was on clomid.
We are doing IUI with donor through a clinic.
No mention of IVF nor was I given an alternative.
I'm still in shock, I feel quite down that we have to wait another month, but I guess when you've waited 4 years, what's another month!

 

[Step Mummy]

Ah Wannabmum I am sorry, I can't believe how frustrating this must be. Make sure they reconsider the drunk intake next month so this doesn't happen again, it's not very good of the clinic not to have picked this up for you earlier and get you on the right dose.
Thinking of you xx

 

[WANBMUM]

Thanks step mummy.
I know, the more I'm thinking about it, the more annoyed I am as originally I was going to go in on cd8, but they said there was no need, cd 12 was early enough. But some ladies have IUI on cd 10 or 12, so if they did get me in early this might not have been a wasted cycle.
And what worries me more is next month without meds I might only have 1 follicle, so my chances are minimized completely, then what?
I guess I will have to wait and see. My hubby is not to happy and thinks we should change clinics.

 

[singleTTC78]

This is my first IUI and I'm a wreck/excited! AF started on the 9th, so now I am waiting until Sunday to start Letrozole, then a U/S on the 18th and than.........
I have never been preggo or tried before now......I have all the tests done and everything looks "text book" according to my doctor. Is there anything I can or should do to prepare my body and mind? (other than the usual vitamins and such.) Any advice and guidance would be greatly appreciated .

I am excited to be on this journey with you all!!!!!!

Lots of dust for all!!!!!!!

 

[Lou1234]

Hi all.

I had IUI number 2 on Wednesday so I'm currently in my TWW!

Hope everyone is well.

 

[sandlin]

Tomm my last femara inj and then day after scan to check the follies. I hope atlest this time I don't have too many follies n my Dr gives me the trigger

 

[Waitng4Baby#1]

I'm waiting to have unmedicated IUI #3 - should be tomorrow or Tuesday. If this doesn't work we'll be onto IVF....

 

[AMP26]

Finally started my period on Saturday! So hopefully I'll be able to go in tomorrow for cd 3 bloods and ultrasound. I really hope that the cyst is gone and that we can move forward with IUI number two. My hubby did get me a baby for Mothers Day though... I got an adorable baby kitten!!!

 

[Step Mummy]

AMP. Yey, how cute, my brother just got a puppy for their kids, so cute, could cuddle it all day, Unfortunately not a baby substitute though otherwise I would want one. FX for u.

I went in for my scan on sat am and they said come back Monday for another scan, I had 2 follies on my left the biggest was 15.5' and another small one on the right. Today the scan showed I had just OV'd, but they told me that this was good as doing iui at this stage often works so they rushed me in for the iui.

So all went smoothly, I have a brain like a sieve (it's the drugs!) so I can't remember the figures but I remember 3 out of 4 going in the right direction and we could see them swim towards the eggie.

I learnt a new thing this month you might find interesting; they have changed the time the trigger is done at my clinic, they used to do 36 hours, but they said that it is more successful doing it less time between! But of course I never got to experience this.

So now in the dreaded TWW for the forth time.

Big FX for all of us in this time and those getting towards this stage. X

 

[diliapickle]

Well IUI#4 was a bust. Got a big ol negative this morning. This means I am now IVF bound...

L4? How about you?? You did blood this morning right? When do you find out? I have my fingers crossed for you!

 

[L4hope]

Good luck to those starting their tww.

Afm, just got bfn confirmed with bloodwork. I'm starting to feel defeated and losing hope.
