Guest guest Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 Hi girls Following the investigation op on Friday and the follow up appt today, it looks like I am still UU - it does not appear there is a small opening. So, as I do not want to do IVF, I am going to try IUI again without clomid this time. 2/3 natural cycles of IUI. MY OB suggested I still do the IUI when ovulating on the bad side as the sperm could cross over to my UU. I don't really want to do this and was surprised he suggested this. After getting pregnant with twins with IUI and clomid and loosing both (1 mature follicle on my good side and also 1 small one on my good side) I think I should try the IUI when there are follicles are my GOOD side. What do you all think??? I know that in my case the sperm did cross over to my horn but I hope the chances of that happening again are slim. I am very nervous to try again but I know that I have to as I long to have a baby of my own. Please send me your thoughts girls on this. I hope I will not have to take clomid and am ovulating on my own. Following my next AF I will get scanned on day 10 and go from there with the IUI again - please keep your fingers and toes crossed for me. Hugs to you all Janine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 Hi Janine, I am also UU, but I don't seem to have another piece out there - my one uterus seems to just be rounded off at the top where it should have connected to what is now my " bad side. " I am in the IUI battle, and this should have been my 3rd round, but they put me on a new drug - instead of Clomid, it was Femara, which was much better as far as symptoms. Clomid made me very depressed but Femara went by without a hitch - UNTIL I believe I ovulated yesterday (CD11) before my first monitoring Ultrasound, so this month is probably over, and we just have to hope for natural success. Anyway, for some reason, I've been " lucky " in as much as both other IUI cycles were led by my good side, so I went ahead with the IUI, but I would not have spent the money on it (no insurance for IUI) if the lead follicle(s) were only on my " bad side. " (And I don't have to worry about the non-communicating horn.) In this whole battle with fertility, you have to do a great deal of weighing out different factors, cost and sanity included. IVF is not really a realistic option for us, so our hopes are hinged on the IUI process. I'd rather focus on the times when it's my good side, to maximize my chances with the few IUI's that we can afford. So for what it's worth, I understand not wanting to proceed when it's not your good side. And maybe ask about the Femara. Good luck!!!

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Janine, I became pregnant with my dd by using injectibles (as if I was going to undergo an IVF) and IUI. I had tried clomid four times previously and never ovulated on the side with my fallopian tube, so the RE felt it was not worth it to try IUI. I am not one to give advice, so I will just tell you what I believe I'd do in your place, which would be to go for it. You certainly can conceive on the side where you have no tube so there is always that small chance, and than you have the much higher chance to conceive on the " good " side. My RE also suggested we try the old fashioned away - I forget the little schedule he gave us - think we did that after the IUI, but I can't remember. Inanycase, I 'd definitely get the opinion of others as well as your RE. I am in no way sure about the HCG injection, but do think it should encourage both follicles. I wish you much luck and lots of baby dust. I am starting again in August with my RE and know I will be facing the same issues. I am sure whatever you decide will be the right choice!
