Trouble TTC

inject cycle #3 (IUI #5) starting Sunday, but with a doubled dose.

i had 2 eggs on the dosage for the previous cycle, so i am nervous about what will happen this time with a higher dose.  I know the RE is just being aggressive, but it's still a little scary......but nothing has worked so far, so i probably shouldnt worry too much. ;)       

i am going to try to cut out as much sugar and 'bad' carbs as possible this cycle ,  mainly in preparation for IVF--which will be in june if this fails. blah, who wants to cut out chocolate when they are stressed?

  • Hopefully you don't overstim and are able to cut out those carbs. I couldn't cut out chocolate, either.

  • Good luck with your stims. I hear ya though, when it takes as long to happen as its takes for us, we can't help but figure, "Nothings worked yet, so lets go!".

    I am also trying to cut out refinded sugar and carbs, but mostly for health benefits... I haven't looked much into IVF yet. I'm planning on saving that for July/Aug if the next few months fail... why is it you have to cut carbs for IVF?

    Thanks and GL!!!

  • I would ask to be monitored more closely if they are upping your dose.  I had 2-3 follies for my first cycles at the same dose, and when he upped it just a little bit I ended up with 13 and got cancelled.
