Hi Jo - at least you're getting close - and Saturday is only a couple of days - it will fly by!
i am really hoping that the IUI is a one off thing and all goes well. spoke to nurse at the clinic today, and she was saying, based on our results, we probably won't be put through IUI more than once, maybe twice - my PCOS is too severe. anyway, they are going to put us into IVF more quickly if need be. i have seen so many ladies on here that have been through multiple attempts at IUI - i found it weird, but also kinda relieved - id they feel i may not work for us, at least they're taking positive steps for us. they think there's a higher chance of me hyperstimulating, so have to monitor that careully, but should be all good.
BG, that's one thing that my FS talked about, too. He prefers PCOS women to skip IUI and go straight to IVF as we apparently respond a little oddly to the injections and tend to get what he called a "multifollicular response". It's apparently quite hard for us to only get the 1-3 eggs needed for IUI. In the end, I would have probably tried IUI first as well, but DH's sperm is so bad that ICSI is our only option.
Jo How exciting for you, the time will hopefully fly by and Saturday will be here before you know it. I have everything crossed that this works for you
BG I'm pleased that you are a bit better today and that your appointment went well. Good luck with the injections sweety. I do hope they aren't too bad for you. It's great that your clinic isn't going to muck you around in the future iykwim. I really do hope this is all going to have a very happy ending for you real soon
BW how are you going hun? Has the bleeding stopped yet? I can't believe its only 1 week until your next appointment
Bleeding hasn't quite stopped yet, mako - but it's back to being more that horrible, annoying red-brown smudge that seems to lurk around forever at the end of AF. I start taking the pill again tonight, and from memory, that usually stops things pretty quickly.
BG, it doesn't mean the IUI is hopeless - you never really know how you are going to respond until they try it. I feel like my last post may have come across as being kinda negative - I'm so tired I wasn't thinking much beyond giving you the info! But as with all things with PCOS, just because you have it, doesn't mean it will happen for you... look at me - severe PCOS with none of the normal symptoms!
