TTC after 35

Assembly line IUI's

Today I got a call to remind me to pick up my meds for the upcoming IUI. My day 3 scan is on Friday. The nurse says please pick them up before Friday.....hmmm I say well i will be there on Friday. She then says well it is too busy on day 3's for us to do it then so that is why we need you to pay and pick up before then. It is totally okay but it just makes me more aware that the clinic has everyone cycling on the same days. They are very good at coordinating but it really seems very assembly line-ish. I guess that is what works.

Does anyone else have exp with this assembly line type cycling.

Re: Assembly line IUI's

  • Never had an IUI, but often feel that my clinic at times feels like "a baby making factory"  Make an early morning appointment for monitoring and there are 15-20 people with similar appointment times.  Usually out pretty quick-but always afraid that I will be the last one they take and I will be late to work.  Good luck with your IUI.  Which clinic do you go to?
