Hi

I am on my 3rd natural IUI cycle but its already looking doomed
I've been monitored for hormone levels for previous two cycles only and my first cycle was 29 days and the second was 40 days! I really don't understand why my cycle length has changed since I started IUI ...my cycle length is normally 32 days. I am on CD17 and my estrogen level today was at 250 which is alarmingly low!!! For my first cycle by CD17 I'd already had the IUI and my level was at 1900 and for my second cycle on CD17 my estrogen level was at around 500! I am thinking this could either be a very long cycle for me and therefore my levels are not going up or I may not ovulate this cycle at all

I am getting frustrated with the uncertainty and unknown! I don't think I've ever had a cycle previously where I have not ovulated so I really don't know what's happening this time. The only thing that Ive done different this cycle is start accupuncture so I don't know if thats the cause of low estrogen levels. If my levels don't rise then I think my cycle will be cancelled. I am seeing my doc on Thur and am going to ask to move onto IVF.

To be honest I am really regretting going the unmedicated IUI route. I know it has worked for many women but my experience has left my very dissapointed and unhappy
