Just got back from 1st IUI attempt. Wife has two follicles, one on each side. I had 250 million sperm with 60% motility pre-wash, and 27 million sperm with 98% motility post-wash. We have no known issues and we’re both 26 years old (been trying TTC for 15 months), so we’re classified under unexplained infertility. Praying this works within 3 attempts. I’m blessed to have a job that provides amazing fertility benefits (3 IUI attempts and 3 IVF attempts), so if we’re unsuccessful after 3 attempts, we’ll try IVF. Edit 1: This is a medicated IUI cycle

I am on my 2nd IUI journey, this time took Clomid and the trigger shot.. had the IUI procedure done, and my doctor prescribed cyclogest 200mg as an added extra during my two week wait. Not sure if the cyclogest is the cause for extreme hot flushes and night sweats, but it definitely is different this time around… I am on 4 DPIUI, and have been feeling very fatigued, mild cramps and hot flushes probably 60% of the day and night. Hoping all of these symptoms are normal and that the blood test will be a BFP 🙏🏻🙃🌷

Hi thank you for this video. could you please explain how the trigger shot works on the ovaries exactly ? From my understanding it is made of the "pregnancy hormones", hcg, but if LH surge tells the ovaries to release the egg, how come we are not using lh to trigger ovulation in practice ? Also may i know why, when using a trigger shot the Opk is deemed unreliable? I guess the hcg and lh have similar roles but it's not clear what the differences are. Also how come we are able to say the ovulation happens 24 to 36h after the trigger shot? What chain of events happen between the trigger shot and the actual egg release? One more question, what makes the body choose between the left or the right to mature follicles? . Thank you in advance for taking the time to answer.

For those who need some hope, my son will be 9 years old this November. He was conceived via our third medicated IUI (Clomid, trigger shot, another shot medication I can’t recall, and 9 million sperm - our lowest count in the whole process). We were diagnosed with unexplained infertility. Best wishes to all who want to become parents.

Thank you for sharing this was very informative. I am on my 7th cycle and my 3rd IUI. 😪 Still trying to remain hopeful! My question is if I am already receiving a positive surge on my own with the help of 7 days of Letozole, is a trigger shot still deemed helpful? I am taking 5 mg pregnyl injections for 3 days after letrozle mainly because this combination has helped me produce 2 mature follicles. But a trigger shot has not been recommended to me. I am obviously working closely with my fertility doctor but was curious as to what your thoughts were. I wasn’t sure if trigger shots were only for women who were not seeing positive surges after the use letrozole. ❤ thank you so much for sharing! Love your channel!

Hi Dr. I was wondering your thoughts on low progesterone and what to do about that

@Marrye-y8s Ай бұрын

Managing low progesterone involves understanding the underlying causes, whether they are related to lifestyle, age, or a medical condition. I feel that way too. After trying for over a year, I finally conceived my baby with this amazing kit. I can't thank MakeAMom enough for the Self Conception Kit! It was so easy to use and comfortable. Highly recommend it!

We had our first IUI back in August and ended up getting pregnant but it resulted in pregnancy of unknown location, highly suspicious of ectopic. I had to take methotrexate and so we have to wait a bit to try again. I’m worried about using fertility drugs again as I heard they cause extra fluid which can result in ectopic pregnancy. I’m also having an HSG next week to check on tube. I’m just nervous and confused about what path to take next. Especially seeing how I heard about medication causing fluid/ectopic. Can you shed some light on that please?

How many cycles does a couple need (statistically) to have a probability of 100%. I know that is more of a mathematical question and nature works a little different. But if anyone knows, I would appreciate if you can share.

We are doing IUI tomorrow. Good to know that my doctor followed all points you mentioned except HSG probably I will ask my doctor why we didn’t do that. I will start taking duphaston from tomorrow. I am 33 and I was diagnosed with endometriosis and I had. Hysteroscopy is December 2022. I had miscarriage in 2020 and 2021. For about a year I couldn’t not get pregnant. We tried naturally using trigger shot but didn’t work. My husband has a low sperm count and heavy smoker so it might also affect. Anyways I will update here.

@mysilk 4 ай бұрын

Update: today I had IUI and it was not painful. The only discomfort was that I had to keep my bladder full. It’s a quick procedure. My doctor said my uterus is longer than normal, about 6 cm so sperm has to swim a bit further. I didn’t have to do HSG because I already had a hysteroscopy. After sperm wash progression improved from move slowly/forward to fast speed. Con 25 ml and motility from 54% to 99%. I will update on the pregnancy result on 12th April.

I still have one week before I do test. I don’t want to test too early not to get disappointed. Infertility is such a frustrating journey. Every month hoping and getting sad. Feeling helpless. I try to feel optimistic about my first IUI, this waiting time is really nerve wrecking. I am sure there are so many of us going through it. Sometimes I am not even sure if I want to have a baby.

Been trying to conceive for 2 years and no luck, took Letrozole for 3 months and nothing. My husband got checked and he has good sperm quality, I was diagnosed with PCOs around 7 months ago without me having really no symptoms…until around 3 months after my diagnosis I started having periods 1 week apart from each other and acne breakouts. We’re sitting on this cycle to start IUI and I’m so nervous. I’m under 25 and I look around me and I’m like “God why?” 😭 It shouldn’t be this hard to get pregnant, specially at my age 😩. But it is and it hurts! Just hoping this is our time ❤️ Hoping all you to get your miracle babies sent your way ❤❤🥹
