For my IUI case.... I did it in KK, I started my cycle with clomid on the 2nd day of menses and puregon jabs for 5days. Each puregon jabs in 50ml.... and on the 9th day i went for my scanning and they found 2 solid follicles 23cm each, and did my pregnancly jab on the 10th day and my IUI on the 12th day.
No success eventhough the gynae told me that my Hubby's sperm was 12million......
I'm going to do my 2nd cycle and day soon waiting for my period to come...but this time gynae doesn't prescribe me with clomid only puregon jabs...
Wish me Luck..... and You Mummies Know wat}}} this is the 1st time after 4years of marriage i'm waiting for my period to come..... hahah....

ooh...for my case....rather complicated....:elvis:

i tried clomid for 3mths le....but my eggs does not respond at all.....zzzz...my mensus was 38days,45days n 51days cycle for the 3mths i took clomid....then doc say, clomid does not work on me....then proceed wif injections......

as the injections is VERY costly, per ML is $1, so 50ml is $50....we decided to opt for a higher chance of getting pregnant which is IUI instead of the normal intercourse......

1st, we opt for IUI....then i started wif 50ml of injections (follitropin) on day 2 of my mensus...then day 6, the gynae increase to 75ml.....then day 10, doc increase to 112.5ml ......on day 13, 2 eggs were growing well, but i've ard 10++ eggs.....so went back to see her again n day 16 as the eggs haf to b monitored very closely.....

on day 16, suddenly i got 6 eggs growing....zzzz...doc say the risk of mutiple pregnancy is too high, so she suggest IVF since i got sooooooo many eggs to choose from....BUT, doc also suspect tat my LH has reached the peak n did a blood test for me......she oso gave me an injection to stop my ovulation...

i went back on next day (day 17) to realise tat my LH has reached the peak n its too late to stop my ovulation.....i've ovulated on day 16 nite time.....so, proceeding wif IVF is of no use now.......gynae checked n found tat not all the eggs were released.....so, IUI is more suitable for the situation now as the risk of mutiple pregnany is much lower now.....so, she gave me another injection to release my remaining eggs......

i went back today (day 18) for my IUI......doc gave me 3days MC to rest....****HAhahAHAHHAahHAHAHahHAHAHhaahHAA****:wink::we2biglaugh: i can shake legs at home leh !!!!!!!!!!!!! no need work....kekekekekeee :we3jiggy:

my next appt is 16th Mar yaaa (2ww)........then they will take urine test to check if i'm pregnant....

but, i rem very clearly, tat they told me tat even if i'm pregnant, sometimes, cos of the xxxxx level (aiyo, i 4got wad izzi liao), the pregnant kit cant detect it correctly....then wad for, i go back sooooo early to check arrr ???? izzi wasting my time n $$$$ ????

Hi! Did my IUI liao... but got a bit complicated cos they cldn't get the catheter really in... so in the end, have to switch frm plastic speculum to metal one... yucks! Inserted twice & bleed somemore... Then use a guidewire to guide the catheter in... Each IUI seems to be getting more & more difficult. Aiyo, better be succcessful tis time! :shyxxx:

Ya, I'm having cramps now... dun know is it cos inserted the guidewire? Can't stand for too long... feel really uncomfortable. The last 2 times, I was quite ok, juz a little discomfort only. Hopefully, it will go away tmr cos hv to go back to work.

I oso didn't get any medicine... they juz ask me to test on 16/3... 18 days after procedure. Thot only 2ww? Why 18 days? Juz to be sure?
Seems like diff doc hv diff ways of doing things leh. So confused sometimes.

But Lawla, your IUI is so complicated but at least, they monitored really closely unlike mine. Guess that's the diff b/w pte and public hospitals... haha! Muz get money worth.:tlaugh:

No feeling whatsoever leh... think quite normal not to feel anything bah. Too early to have any symptoms.

Anyone have symptoms super early? can share?
 
Hi all,

Can I join? I had IUI done on last Wed with Thomson Fertility Centre, Dr. LC Cheng. My cycle dues on 13/14th March. I have conceived my #1 through IUI (1st try with the same doc) and my son is now 15 months :wink:

I hope everyone of us here to be blessed with BFP soon!
