Unexplained infertility and now IUI!

Lots of luck to you!! Sounds like you are getting close. Follies usually grow 1-2mm each day so it looks like you have a few more days of stimulation/meds. ***BABY DUST***

what other meds could they give me beside the HCG trigger shot?

I think the only other thing once you do the trigger could be progesterone (taken in several different forms). Some women are also given low dose asprin but I haven't. good luck, keep us posted

Thanks so much jenstar, I am supposed to start my progestrone after my IUI on thursday!

So I had my second follicle study today, and to my suprise they actually grew! I can't believe it, I thought for sure this month would be a bust. My left size had 3 follicles 17, 15, 14 and I guess some disappeared on the right, I had only 2 left 11, 13. My doc is gonna have me do my trigger shot tomorrow night at 10pm and then thursday morning at 10 I will have my IUI. I keep getting really nervous that with this stimulation I'm gonna get cysts on my ovaries because every time they do an ultrasound they keep telling me, "oh you have alot of little immature follicles" I keep thinking, please stay little follicles and don't turn into cysts.

**~~~BABY DUST~~~** to everyone trying!

Gl hun and welcome to the unexplained infertility club - it sucks! lol!

I just had my 4th IUI with mega injections on Sat.....

Thanks Chels,what dose of injections were you on? Were they gonal F? Did you grow any follicle, what sizes were they do you remember?

i was on lots cuz i wanted tons and tons of follies! I was on gonal-f once but usually take follsitim.

here is the info from my blog:

Right ovary follicle sizes in mm

10.2

11.6

11.1

14.4

17.9

Left ovary follicle size in mm

12.5

13.5

18.2

15.3

16.5

this is from 6 days of injections. I took just a lil bit more than the doc thought i was on. They wanted me on 150 and i took 175 and i booster of menopure that they didnt know about.

OMG, those are alot of follies, were you able to produce that many with the first 3 IUIs? Why do you think the first 3 IUI's weren't successful?

Sounds great Lex, wishing you lots of luck!!! Wish we all knew why the IUIs don't always work, I have had 4 and 1 IVF. Gotta keep on trying :O)

Chels, wishing you a great 2ww and hoping this is the one that sticks!!!!

no, doc wouldnt let me produce that many with the other IUI's - think i prob had 3 or 4 wiht the others.

Have no idea why they didnt work, like jenstar said, wish we knew :(

thx Jenstar we are hoping the same thing, lol!
