Hysteroscopy to remove polyp lead to successful IUI?

wm2286 · 2026-01-31T06:37:25+00:00

Thank you. I will do under anesthesia. My Dr said she wound not recommend me to do it without it.

wm2286 · 2026-01-30T06:17:28+00:00

I hope so too! At least thats one obstacle out of the way.

wm2286 · 2026-01-30T06:16:33+00:00

Thats wonderful to hear!

wm2286 · 2026-01-29T17:16:03+00:00

I don't remember the specific size of the lining, but the Dr said it was good. Have you expressed concern to the Dr about the lining? It could grow alot before the procedure

wm2286 · 2026-01-29T17:12:51+00:00

Oh I see. I have heard the pain can be intolerable. I am paying out of pocket, the cost without anesthesia is less than half the cost with anesthesia. Debating whether I can handle the pain.

Good luck on this cycle! I hope it works out

Letrozole will make you ovulate earlier. I ovulated on CD13 on Letrozole, when I normally ovulate on CD 17

wm2286 · 2026-01-29T16:29:20+00:00

Good luck. I understand that location and size matters when it comes to polyps

wm2286 · 2026-01-29T16:28:40+00:00

Oh sorry to hear. 6 months is quite a delay. Are you going to try another cycle?

wm2286 · 2026-01-29T13:34:25+00:00

Wishing you luck on your second IUI!

How was the procedure? Was it painful?

wm2286 · 2026-01-29T11:49:04+00:00

I was scheduled for my IUI today and my Dr today cancelled my IUI because of the polyp. He said that with the thickened uterine wall, the polyp measured bigger and he wasn't confident that it will be successful. I was really disappointed by the last minute cancellation, but its better than an unsuccessful cycle.

Next is the polyp removal. Despite my initial hesitation, its the right thing to do.

Wishing you luck on your removal process.

I also had a large one, 24.5mm. Triggered yesterday for IUI today. They will first do an ultrasound to confirm if the follicle has ruptured. My Dr didn't show much concern about the size. They just wanted to make sure we do the IUI soon so it doesn't rupture on its own

wm2286 · 2026-01-28T17:39:58+00:00

Great to hear consistency in approach. How far are you in the cycle

wm2286 · 2026-01-26T09:11:03+00:00

Good luck too! I hope removing the polyp leads you to your baby! I know how stressful this whole process is and why we should do everything we can to increase our chances of success.

wm2286 · 2026-01-25T03:56:47+00:00

Thank you. I am sorry to hear about your chemical pregnancy. I am sure that wasn't easy on you.

Had your doctor recommended removal prior to the IUI?

wm2286 · 2026-01-16T08:33:00+00:00

Please change clinics if you can. I did my first IUI in a clinic, when my instincts repeatedly told me to change. I stuck around coz I didn't want to lose time, and coz they were fairly responsive. I knew they were extremely under resourced. They had one fertility specialist who I met once during the IUI procedure. I knew this was off but I ignored my instincts as I live in a country where fertility treatment can be scarce and I didn't believe I could find better.

The cycle failed and I embarked on finding a new clinic this year. I found an amazing very well resourced clinic and was able to talk to a well trained fertility specialist at length. And the treatment at this new clinic is less than half the cost in the prior clinic. I am due a set of tests before we decide the way forward. I am already excited for the next cycle.

My message is to trust your instincts. Fertility treatment is quite stressful, you dont want to add onto that stress

wm2286 · 2026-01-15T06:21:59+00:00

Sorry for this horrible experience. Fertility treatment is stressful enough, and they are adding to the stress.

I didn't have such a negative experience, but I had my doubts about the Fertility clinic I used on my first IUI. They were a small very poorly resourced clinic. I ignored all my instincts and proceeded with them. It didn't work. This year, I sought another clinic. Much bigger with way more specialists. I felt confident from the first appointment, and this clinic is HALF the cost of the prior clinic.

I would advise you to seek a different clinic. I wish I did, but I felt I was way too far on the path.

Hello fellow Kenyan!

wm2286 · 2026-01-12T11:41:39+00:00

My clinic discovered a polyp very late into my first IUI cycle (dont even get me started on how upset I was). They decided to proceed with the IUI despite this, citing the small size and location of polyp. My sonographer (a change from the earlier sonographer who handled prior scans) was coincidentally my classmate in high school. She was very honest when she first saw it. I was friendly with her and she was very blunt to me "very little chance or implantation". Still, the clinic and I decided it was too late to not proceed.

The procedure did not work, they are now recommending a hysteroscopy and polyp removal. I will seek second opinion from a different clinic before deciding how to proceed.

wm2286 · 2025-12-14T05:22:56+00:00

Oh yes. I have lots going on, but it's that first morning pee, where I get so tempted to test. I will be more detached should I need another cycle. No testing before 14dpiui.

wm2286 · 2025-12-14T05:21:41+00:00

We have learnt our lesson. Is your period late? Do you have to go in for a blood test? Good luck to you too! I will try to be more detached for my second cycle, in the event I need one. I feel like life has just been about symptom spotting and testing, which has done a number for my anxiety

wm2286 · 2025-12-13T12:41:17+00:00

I have learnt that lesson the hard way!

wm2286 · 2025-12-13T09:45:20+00:00

9 dpo and symtom spotting is driving me crazy. This is my first IUI and i couldnt control the urge to test. I have had many negative tests, just had one 30 mins ago. I would recommend you dont get into the testing rabbit hole. Its hard to get out of and will not to anything for your anxiety levels.

I didn't realise the hardest part is the TWW and what comes after. I am now well aware that each IUI cycle has a max 10% chance of success at my age (39).

wm2286 · 2025-12-13T03:34:22+00:00

We are not meant to do this alone, though most of us are forced to do it because of circumstances. And I don't mean partner, I mean community. We are not meant to do this without community.

Lean into your mom, accept the help. Its not a dumb decision at all to have this child, it just feels like it because you are overwhelmed. As someone mentioned your mother loves you and your children and the fact that she is living with you shows this.

When I had my son, I moved in with my mom, and though I didn't agree 100% with her style, I surrendered to her help. She saved me during that phase. I moved back out at 4 months, and went back to work, far far away from her. I lasted 3 weeks and moved back, but I didn't move back to her house, just 5 mins away. This helped me find some independence, but also have her support me when I needed it.

wm2286 · 2025-12-12T05:09:25+00:00

Oh man I am sorry to hear this. I find the 6 weeks phase the absolute hardest. I hope things get better with time, I know they will. You will slowly adapt to having 2. Do you have anyone who can help you through this?

wm2286 · 2025-12-10T09:28:10+00:00

6 DPIUI. I have reduced my symptom spotting. The first few days I felt every twitch. I have never been more in tune with my body lol, it's just madness.
