Trouble TTC

Stims and IUI

Hello ladies,

Just curious... what's the longest you've stimmed for an IUI cycle?

I'm a slow responder. On my last cycle of gonal-f I stimmed for 18 days. This cycle I have been on bravelle for 16 days and now I'm switching to menopur. I really feel like this cycle is never going to end.


TTC w/ pcos since 02/11
09/12 lap/hysteroscopy =removal of mass on bladder, possible blocked tubes
12/12 hysteroscopy=tubes clear. uterine septum removed
01/13 fermara step up + iui=cancelled due to no response
02/13 clomid step up + iui=cancelled due to no response
07/13 gonal-f + trigger + b2b iui = bfn
08/13 bravelle(slow response) switched to menopur + trigger + b2b iui = bfn
10/13 - IVF#1 w/ ICIS. ER= 10/29/13 (21R 10F 6 blasts made it to freeze)
11/25/13 - FET #1, transfer 2=bfn
03/03/14 - FET #2, transfer 2 frosties=BFP! beta#1=22, beta#2=43, beta#3=120. Ectopic Pregnancy 6w5d
07/31/14 - FET #3, transfer our last two.

Re: Stims and IUI

  • I'm no help because I O on my own and respond well to Clomid, so the longest I have ever gone for IUI is 5 days. I just wanted to say that I am sorry you are having difficulty, and I hope your RE can find the right med protocol to get your body responding.  Hope that  this cycle gets a move on for you!

    ** After  2 1/2 years of Unexplained IF, 2 failed medicated cycles, and 4 failed IUI's - our baby girl came to us through the miracle of
     Mini IVF! **

  • Loading the player...
  • I stimmed 16 days I think on one of my cycles --- it was horrible. The follistim I was on just ground my whole cycle to a snail's pace....

    I feel your pain. Hopefully you end up with something at the end to shoot for. Good luck.

  • thanks @manada! good luck to you too!

    I thought my 16 day stim cycle was long... but now I'm on day 20(i think). I keep feeling twinges in on my left side, so hopefully my ultrasound tomorrow will show some growth :)
