couple questions second iui

kristi&p · March 2013

This will be my second iui and I am on meds this time around. I am on progesterone and will take my last dose on Friday. From there I am to wait for my period to start and start Clomid on cd3. On cd10 I go for an ultra sound, typically how soon after an ultrasound on cd10 would you expect to get a trigger shot done? Of course its pending everything looks good at the ultrasound.

Thanks

Well just one question any ways

Twinkler2011 · March 2013

In my experience it depends on the size of your follies. If your follies are mature 14mm + (for my RE anyway) then I would trigger that evening and come back the next day for the iui. Now if my follies were smaller, he would judge when to do the shot based on the fact that they grow approx 2mm per day.

Hope that helps

Like Twinkler said, it depends on the size of the follicle. Our RE triggers later than 14mm, (I think she looks for it to be 18mm-20mm). I think last cycle we triggered on day 12 in the evening and inseminated on day 14 in the morning.

We did the same protocol the cycle we got our BFP with the boys. We went in on cd10 then again on cd12 and were told to trigger that night for IUI 36 hours later. It will really just depend on follicle number and size. On CD 10 they should be able to estimate your day for IUI or set another monitoring appointment like they did with us.

You have probably already discussed this but with clomid there is a increased risk for multiples if you respond really well (this is how we had the twins) so ask your RE if there is any reason they would cancel a cycle such as over response to the drugs. This is generally standard practice in cycles where more than 3 follicles could reach maturity at time of IUI as REs will try and avoid high order multiples at all costs. We were almost forced to cancel our cycle we got our BFP for this reason and I would have been really upset as I was not prepared mentally for what happens in case of over response (we never discussed it as we never thought I would respond well to clomid). Again feel free to ignore me here or forgive me if I have over stepped with this one it just came as a shock to us.

Thank you for all responses. It really helps. I think I was pretty unrealistic that things would happen so fast and I wasn't prepared for meds at all but to have a baby I will do anything. My wife and I discussed the chances of multiples and we have an extremly supportive family an aunt that would literally move in if needed that we are okay with those chances. Now I thought a trigger shot was done in office but by what I see its something you do at home? Does it hurt also do you prefer to do it yourself or have your spouse do the shot?

The trigger shot is generally done at home. Its a tiny tiny needle and goes in your stomach so it isn't too traumatizing.

I did my own as I am not squeamish about those types of things as I had to check my blood sugar throughout the day for several months.

I just put ice on the spot and then did the trigger shot. It was over in a second and I didn't feel it.
