For those that did IUI for the first time recently
Did you do injectables too?
If so, please tell me all about it and let me know how many follies you had?
TIA!

Re: For those that did IUI for the first time recently
My RE just started me on injectables last cycle. I just started them again tonight. The first cycle with them I didnt produce as many follies. They were supposed to increase the dosage this month, but they didnt.

Donna,
Injectables help you produce more follies therefor increasing your odds that a sperm will meet an egg.
Diane, when you go back for your first u/s if you don't think you are creating enough follies can you ask them to up your meds then? How many did you produce last month and which drug were you on?

Re: For those that did IUI for the first time recently
I didn't do injectibles, I took Clomid for CD 3-7 and am on Estrogen since CD18...I produced one follicle at 22mm before they gave me the HCG shot. I am in the 2WW so I'll know by July 4th if it worked or not.

Re: For those that did IUI for the first time recently
Injections work directly with your ovaries. So that the ovaries can produce more follicules.
Clomid has to go to the pituitary gland which then speaks to the ovaries.
Basically, if the pituitary gland is dysfunctional, clomid will not do the 'trick' but injections may!
Good luck ladies....!!!!!

Re: For those that did IUI for the first time recently
Thanks flee...sicne I got hte results from the bloodwork the other day, I am not surpised that af showed. Waiting for the blood test for 6 hours was agonizing..but then it saved me from obsessing for an extra two days which is kinda nice.
I really thought this cycle would be longer because of both the clomid and the progesterone suppositories but I am pretty darn close to schedule.
