PCOS & A BABY

September 11, 2007

I am 35 years old and was diagnosed with PCOS 6 years ago. I went through three years of fertility treatment before becoming pregnant with my daughter. I went through all the ups and downs that most people go through with fertility issues and came out successful. I got pregnant using IUI on the first try which is very lucky,but ended up in the Dr's office just at the six week mark bleeding and miscarring one of which we then found out was three babies. I was put on bead rest immediatley and found my self miscarring again the next day number two. One baby left. Which I happily gave birth to 12-16-05.

Hi Brenda,

I apologize for not get back to you quicker I've been busy and haven't had time to check my mail. As you probably know by now IUI doesn't hurt. Don't be nervous, at your age the IUI should work. I was taking Repronex injections twice a day to make me ovulate this worked.I wish I could tell you that there is a feeling to look for to be able to tell if your pregnant or not but there isn't one. I felt the same. Best of Luck to you. If you have any question feel free to ask.

not even a little shonazz. Its just like a pap and your out of there in like 20 min. The actual IUI takes 20 seconds or so and then you just lay there for 20 min or so to let the sperm get settled :)

nope, i went back to work after mine. YOu can drive yourself home if you need to. My hubby left his sample and then had to go back to work so i was on my own. The 1st one i took the day off but after knowing it wasnt a big deal with the 2nd one i went back to work afterwards. You are a little crampy tho for the next few days.

What was your dh's count after wash for the iui chelsha?

March 24, 2008

All depends on the DH's comfort level if he wants to give the sperm in the Dr's office where the IUI is performed or if he wants to do it at home in a sterile cup and there are some things u need to follow and take it to the lab accordingly within a certain time, stored in a specific way etc. So, once this is done, they wash the sperm in the Dr's office and it can take around 30 mins to 2 hrs and then they do the IUI immediately, unless ur working with frozen sperms.

Thats why there is a list of instructions that u need to follow if ur collecting the sample at home, like keeping it warm, getting it to the hospital within a certain time etc etc. Its recommended to give the sample @ the Dr office or where ever the IUI is done

March 24, 2008

the 1st IUI after washing was 9 million and the 2nd one was 18.1 million after washing.

My doctor wants the sample to be done in the office so they have a room with porn and stuff (ick hey?) so 2 hours b4 my IUI he would go in and leave his sample and then they would wash them and put it in me.

March 24, 2008

no, the washing takes time so they want the sample 2 hours b4 the IUI so they can get it all done and you arent waiting around for the sperm :)

In your body they can live for up to 4 days.....

Hey Girls question about the sperm count after washing. My Dr told me DH had healthy strong strait swimmers, I asked him what the numbers were and his response was, 10!! I was like WHAT????? He said they look at about 10 sperm under the scope and they all looked great, and I had nothing to worry about. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN???
