So we went for the CD11 scan to see if I was ready for the IUI, and like last time I have over-stimulated and grown too many follicles. I had 3 on the right and 1 on the left ready (20mm, 18mm, 17mm, 16mm) and smaller ones (12mm, 11mm, 10mm, 10mm). In the UK they will only let you do IUI with a maximum of 3 follicles because of the risk of multiples. I argued that the follicle on the left doesn't count because my left tube is blocked but they insisted that there is a small risk that the egg could make it down one of the tubes.
So we signed the paperwork to say that if we have unprotected sex we would be going against medical advice. We will be going against medical advice!
Last time this happened we had 6 follicles and we went against medical advice, and with 6 chances we didn't conceive. This time we are hoping that the womb biopsy will help with implantation and the fact that I'm back on the DHEA and all the other supplements I've been taking have made my eggs better!.
About Me
- UK IVFer
- For five years I went through hell and back to become a Mummy! I had three miscarriages from natural pregnancies, five IUI attempts, five IVF attempts, and three operations to remove endometriosis, a polyp and a fibroid.
I have been with my 'almost perfect' Husband since 2003. We married in 2009 on Valentine's Day and we are extremely happy together.
I decided to start a blog because I needed to write down my thoughts and feelings to show myself and others how I was never going to give up until we got our forever baby.
Since having my baby, I'm inspired to create: Baby Blankets by Me & Mum
