Cancelled Clomid IUI Cycle

I'm going through the exact same thing right now. After a failed IUI, went in on day 3 and had a cyst measuring 27 on my left ovary. She gave me the choice whether or not I wanted to continue as you said it's not dangerous or anything. She said her advice would be to take a month off and try naturally. I was told I would still ovulate since I normally always do. She said that the cyst would just not make me respond as well to the medication. And then when you go in to check your follicles she wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the cyst and the follicle. So right now I'm on CD14, BD'ing every other day and still haven't got a positive OPK yet. I would assume I will ovualate this week. After getting used to doing IUI's it's hard to go back to the guessing game!

Dana thank you... I was feeling like I was the only one that this happened to... I haven't read anything like this happening before... I am glad that means I will probably still ovulate this month then... Thank God!

Yeah if you normally do ovulate on your own then you still should is what my RE told me. I just get tired of getting that negative OPK. I'm like come on already!! LOL... Another quick note. My bestfriend is 5 months pregnant. She had 2 failed injection/clomid IUI cycles, got a cyst and had to take a month off then got pregnant the very next IUI cycle. I'm going to do my last injection/IUI cycle in June for awhile. I think I'll still do clomid and maybe a trigger shot but I can't afford to keep doing this every cycle. And not to mention the emotional rollercoaster it's got me on. So i'm praying we get lucky either this natural cycle or next IUI cycle. Hey what cycle day are you on?

Today is day 5... I've got a long way to go... and I don't normally ovulate until like day 18 or 19. So, I will just take the OPK's and keep on I guess. I was thinking that when I finally tried the IUI that it would be like magic and work right away. I was very disapointed that it didn't. Not to mention my DH, I think that he took it harder than me. I was having to cheer him up! But with God's help, I am not as discouraged as I would be without him. I know it will happen, I just wish it was NOW! :o) I will be praying for you Dana, for your BFP!!!

Food for thought.... My 1st cycle with an RE, 50mg of clomid and IUI, Progesterone right at 15, BFN! My 2nd cycle, did Gonal F injections and 100mgs of clomid. Got BFP, progesterone over 40. Found out later it was twins. I miscarried one at 7wks and one at 8wks. Cycle #3 was this last cycle with Injections, clomid and IUI, BFN - AF came right on time. So that's where I'm at. Went in as you know on CD3 and had a cyst. So I'm hoping the next one is the lucky lucky one. 3rd time is a charm I hope on Injections. I'm going to be like you and not ovualate this round till CD18 or CD19. Hopefully that means I will see a positive OPK here shortly. We are not too far apart, I'm only on CD14. Sure feel like forever, doesn't it?!?
