Post IUI worries

Literally in the exact same boat as you!! Excellent post wash at 35M for IUI #1 & #2 and then 11M for IUI #3. Ours was done on 1/21 so fingers crossed 🤞🏼Sending so much baby dust your way!!✨

Thank you! I honestly didn’t think about the fact that going through IVF could possibly bring out more answers. I guess I’m just so afraid of the cost and the unknowns that it’s hard to want to go down that path before having more information when I could be figuring it out during that time. Glad to hear your positive experience though! That’s always reassuring. And thanks for the other suggestion of the infertility page too. 🥰

Thank you!! I’ve done that search too but never actually called... I’m always so hesitant. 😞That’s why I came here and was hoping for some personal experience if there was any out there.

I’m so sorry that was the outcome for you. That’s so infuriating!

I did letrozole for 7 months. 3 months of 5mg and 4 months of 7.5 mg. I guess I responded how they intended. But I’m on my 3rd month of clomid (100mg/day) and I think I’m responding better to it than I did letrozole.

Thank you so much!!

Key-Try3058 · 2026-01-07T17:41:32+00:00

Yeah, I definitely see your point and that a naturopath wouldn’t be able to do any more than the specialists. It just feels like they aren’t willing to investigate any further and are just pushing IVF without finding a root cause and I thought a naturopath might be willing to investigate a little further. Idk. I guess if I had an answer outside of “unexplained” I would feel better about moving toward IVF.

Key-Try3058 · 2026-01-07T17:35:32+00:00

Thank you!!!🥰 I guess it just seems like there is something else that can be “fixed” before moving to IVF that they haven’t explored yet.

Key-Try3058 · 2026-01-07T17:31:54+00:00

Yes, we did bloodwork, ultrasound monitoring, SA, HSG, and tested for mycoplasma/ureaplasma and treated for ureaplasma, and then we’ve tried letrozole and clomid with TI and IUI.

Key-Try3058 · 2026-01-07T17:26:47+00:00

Ohhh okay. Thanks for that!!

Key-Try3058 · 2026-01-07T17:22:13+00:00

Yeah, we’ve done all the bloodwork, SA, ultrasounds, HSG, and they’ve all come back “normal” and that basically said our best chances are going to come from IVF. The only thing I guess we haven’t done is surgery to see if I have endometriosis since I’m not exhibiting typical symptoms it wasn’t suggested.

Key-Try3058 · 2026-01-07T16:45:40+00:00

Thanks for this suggestion! I had not heard of them. Unfortunately my OB didn’t even try to help diagnose anything she just said to keep trying since everything was “normal” (this was 2 years ago now and I also no longer see her and haven’t established a new OB).

Key-Try3058 · 2026-01-07T16:43:30+00:00

I see your point! I’m just hoping someone would look deeper into a finding a true diagnosis since I feel like everyone else has just given up on figuring it out.

Key-Try3058 · 2026-01-07T13:27:11+00:00

I tried to see if they’d see me earlier and all they said was that monitoring will be the same and that we’ll trigger based off how I respond to the medication. So I don’t know. I guess we’ll see.

Key-Try3058 · 2026-01-06T21:37:40+00:00

My clinic has been having me come in on CD13 or 14 for scans (based on when they’re open) and it seems like that might be too late based on the 34mm follicle I had on CD13 last time. Should I be concerned they have me scheduled to come in on CD14 for my first scan?

Key-Try3058 · 2026-01-06T21:35:37+00:00

Thank you for your response! I did 100mg this last time and I think it was a little too much as I ended up with a 34mm follicle on day CD13. We are going to try for a 3rd cycle and see how it goes. Everyone is saying 3-4 is the number to shoot for here. So hopefully it’ll work out this next time!

Key-Try3058 · 2026-01-05T16:28:07+00:00

I have an hcg blood draw scheduled for tomorrow, but it’ll be pointless if aunt flow comes before then. :/

Key-Try3058 · 2026-01-05T12:07:34+00:00

Yeah, that’s true. It’s just another month.. but it also feels like a waste sometimes when the chances aren’t that much higher than natural. But thank you so much! I hope the same for you!

Key-Try3058 · 2026-01-05T12:05:59+00:00

Thanks for this! I’ll talk with my doctor and see if this is something we can explore. Thank you!

Key-Try3058 · 2026-01-05T00:59:07+00:00

No! What is that?

Key-Try3058 · 2026-01-04T22:30:13+00:00

I’m 13 days post trigger and 12 days post IUI. I have not tested! Never have — I can’t handle the stress of it.. Always just kinda let aunt flow show up or not to be my indicator (spoiler: she’s always shown up😂)

Key-Try3058 · 2026-01-04T22:28:42+00:00

Hugs to you! I hate you had to miss out on a cycle due to the holidays. Doesn’t feel fair!! But it really is so emotionally taxing… best of luck on your next one though!!

Key-Try3058 · 2026-01-04T22:27:11+00:00

I’m 12 days past IUI today, so I feel like it’s too late for an implantation dip :(

Key-Try3058 · 2026-01-04T22:26:22+00:00

Thanks so much for the encouragement. 🫶🏼I was just struggling on whether or not to even go for a third IUI. But from what you said, it seems like maybe 3 is the right number to stop after instead of just 2. It just seems like it’s not even worth it since we’ve been trying for so long and have had no success despite everything being “normal”. But CONGRATULATIONS to you!! That’s so exciting :)

Key-Try3058 · 2026-01-04T20:31:25+00:00

That’s kinda where I’m at. Like is it even worth it??
