1 follie-IUI or TI??

Munequita2006

Hi Ladies,

 I went this morning to see how my response to Menopur was and I had 1 big follie-measuring at 19mm.  Kind of disappointed there was only 1 but hey all you need is 1 right?!  So do you ladies think it's worth it for the IUI tomorrow or just TI?  I'm just concerned with there only being 1 follie...and we (like many) are OOP for everything.

 Thanks in advance!!

I am OOP too so I understand. We aren't IUI yet and will TI but with 1 follie I would IUI if you can. I feel like the best sperm having the least amount of swimming as possible would be good for 1 beautiful follie.

I love your reasoning, thank you so much for reassuring me!

Go for the IUI!  Good luck!

I have no idea which option is better for one follie, but I will tell you that if you go with TI you might want to consider instead cups.  It is supposed to be like a do it yourself IUI.  Probably not as good as the real thing though.  I used them this cycle and, as you know, it may or may not have worked!  They were actually made for menstration, it is a ring with a flexible plastic cup attached that is suppsed to catch the blood.  I am not sure how popular they are for that since taking them out has got to be super messy.  However, I know many people use them to help with conceiving.  They are supposed to be inserted directly after sex to keep the maximum number of swimmers inside and avoid leakage.

For me it would depend on your husbands numbers.  If he's perfect I'd definitely do TI.  Also I'd ask what would the plan be to get you to 2 follies.

I was in the same boat, all OOP with 1 big follie.  My husbands number were great so we went with the IUI yesterday.  Good luck!

Thank you all for the input-we've decided to go the IUI route tomorrow at 8AM.

I've never heard of those...I would probably be scared of a yeast infection?!  But def something to try if it doesn't work this month!

We can't TI as we have severe male factor IF so when we ran into 1 follie we just called it off and tried again the next month. If TI could work for you I would do that and save your IUI $ for a cycle with more targets.

I haven't had a yeast infection in forever (tmi) so I guess I didn't think about that.  I havent heard anyone give that as a side effect though.  It's just a suggestion!

Oh no, I'm so very sorry.

Most of my IUIs were with only one follie. I would do the IUI to give you the best chance to have that wayward sperm bump into the lone egg.
