IUI - what to expect?

[Mommieh25]

Hi Waiting, My doctor doesn't scan for follicles, she just monitors me by blood work to see when I am ovulating, once i surge she performs the IUI.
My first blood test is day 11 (im day 5 atm) of my cycle which is next Tuesday.
Is it normal not to be checked for follicles, I feel as though she could do more.
Hope your scan goes well, not long now let me know how you go .... hope you have some good follies

Maybe you can ask.

Can't believe today's ultrasound with clomid. I have 10 mature follicules! Will trigger Saturday night and iui Monday!

Wow that is awesome excited for you
They were not worried there was too many?

 

[waitingongod1]

No I was surprised too! With femera last month I only had 1!

Im really surprised by these doctors that do iui with that many follies on clomid. My re wouldve cancelled my iui if there was more then three. Mind you im in canada.. But im surprised because it is risky. Then again, better odds for you! Fx for safe and healthy!

Every Dr has there own way of doing things I guess.

Mississippi - have you had first ultra sound? Know how many babies yet?!

Only one babe in this belly! Was lucky, i only had one mature egg though the other was 13mm if i remember correctly.
I had my scan at 6 weeks and have had nothing in the way of symptoms other then exhaustion so of course that kills my anxiety

Glad to hear you are doing well Mississippi. Waiting have you heard anything?

Good luck with the IUI on Monday Waiting! I can't believe the difference between the clomid and femara!! How do you feel about the possibility of multiples? With my Dr he said they would probably cancel with more than 5 but it's true every dr is different (I'm in Canada as well). As it turned out I only had 1 mature one but the Dr did comment to me that they can only see the follicles and not the number of eggs...

Anyway just trying to get through the 2ww but not feeling very hopeful right now!

White- when will you be testing?! I know plenty who got pregnant on just one!

 

[WhiteOrchid24]

Not for over another week.... AF is due next Sunday so will hold off til Monday if she hasn't reared her ugly face! I can't handle negative tests so generally I don't test anymore but since I HAVE to go for a blood on the Monday I would rather test first than be told over the phone if it's negative!! Next week is going to be a long week!!

 

[waitingongod1]

I always do the same thing too with testing! All though I get secretly jealous of girls who find out 10dpo though!

Hi ladies.
What day of your cycle did you start your stimulation meds? Either injectables or oral.
My clomid protocol was day 5-9. But I'm curious about other medications.
I have my iui orientation class this week, and I will probably be Cd 3 by then. So I'm hoping they will let me start the iui cycle immediately and not wait another month!

 

[WhiteOrchid24]

Hi TimetoTry

I took Femara and that was from CD3-7. I really hope you get to start IUI this cycle, I don't see why you couldn't.... I hope all goes well

 

[waitingongod1]

Timerotry- normally I took mine day 3-7 bbut didn't work so this cycle we are trying day 5-7 clomid. Good luck! I don't see why you wouldn't be able too! Will be be doing an hcg trigger shot too?

 

[Mississippi03]

I started injectible menopur cd2 and took it right through until trigger on cd10

 

[wantingbubba7]

Waiting, have you had your next iui yet? Hope it went well for you
My blood test is tomorrow to get the ball rolling im excited!
