Dual IUIs

babyexpress · July 2015

I finished my 2nd IUI (1st time to try but 2nd day to do IUI). Any success from doing it 2 days in a row? I asked how many mature follies I had and RE said it was hard to tell. Is that strange? RE said maybe 2-3, but wouldn't really know until later.

I've heard some REs do two IUIs but I don't know if it works any better.

Yes, it is weird that he couldn't tell how many follies. He also should have done blood work that would indicate how many follies are mature.

@TheBorg7of9 - Hi. Honest question. (I've no experience with fertility treatments and only know the basics/what I've read on here.) Why would the doctor do bloodwork to indicate how many follicles are mature? Hormone/chemical levels? I would've assumed that actually seeing the follicles with an ultrasound would be more accurate?

Because you need more than the follicle to be present, you also need enough estrogen for each follicle to ovulate.

Ok, that makes sense and what I figured. Thanks!

The nurse did say on ultrasound, day before I did IUI, that I had at least 3 at 20mm. For some reason I couldn't get an answer on day of IUI.

Well if she saw those three a couple days before your IUI, maybe the rest were too small to get big enough by IUI day?

If that's your real name, OP, you should find a new SN.

I had bloodwork done the day before and they said "everything looks good and we are moving forward as planned for IUI next day" I'm new at this so didn't really know what to ask. Just said- thanks see you tomorrow.

I have tried to change my SN several times but I can't find where to do that in my account settings. Do you know how? I keep looking and then just give up.

Nevermind, I figured it out. Thanks!
