sorry it didn't happen this cycle for you Ann,hopefully next cycle you would get that positive hpt/hcg. Did anyone experience cramping pain in the abdomen after taking the HCG trigger shot prior to iui? i took the hcg shot cd15 at 12:30am whereas i have been having cramps on my right ever since i took the shot, it is now cd19 and i am still receive pain on my right side - though inconsistently now.
HOPE EVERYONE HAD A WONDERFULL CHRISTMAS
BABYDUST EVERYONE

acklyn, I had some pain after the hcg, too. I wondered if it was the ovulation. What is prometrium for? What size were your follicles when they gave you the hcg? Good luck!

my doctor prescriibed prometrium aka progesterone to help support pregnancy and prevent/lower the risk of miscarriage(little pink balls). My 3 biggest follicles were 14mm,18mm and 18.5mm on cd13, I was unable to go for ultrasound on cd15 before taking hcg shot - so I'm just assuming my follicles grew to atleast 20mm -21mm or bigger when I had the iui procedure on cd16.

i am 40 years , i have married just before one year, i have only one ovary , i had dermoid cyst and was opertaed by surgical resection of the dermoid with the ovay b/c it was big...i now recieve clomid tab 100mg/day followed by pregnyl ing to concieve, i have tried it now for 4 months but still no conception...by ultrasound the measurment of the follicle in last month was 28mm by 25mm, and in the first month the follicle size was 20mm by 25mm , i did progestrone level on 21day of the period and it was 12.2 and in last month it reached up to 3o unit...my question is the size of the follicles i had was too big and is it possible that these follicle were in fact cysts...i need your advice what to do next and how can i be sure that these are follicles and not cysts.

Hello everyone. I am really glad I came across this post. I was taking 50mg of clomid earlier in the month and went in for an ultrasound today. I had over 14 mature follicles, all around 16-30mm. The doctor I saw was very concerned and said I was at great risk for OHSS. My husband and I were planning to do IUI this month, but had to cancel the procedure due to the # of follicles. I am very worried I may have a severe case of OHSS once I do ovulate and am wondering if anyone else has gone through a similar situation? This is my 2nd round of clomid, last was done with a different doctor about 1 year ago. The same thing happened with my first round of clomid, although I only had 8 mature follicles. I explained all of this to my new doctor, but he still insisted I take clomid again...and now my treatment has been cancelled and I am at risk for OHSS. SO, I am frustrated with my new doctor since clomid hasn't worked out well for me in the past. Any advice???

Hi, I was taking 50mg of Clomid starting on day 3 of my cycle. Turns out my body is very sensitive to Clomid. So much that they want me to take half the dose so 25mg instead of the 50mg. I just went for my ultrasound on the weekend and I had 6 mature follicles. The doctors are alway concerned when you have 4 mature follicles and up so they told me to have told me not to have intercourse. The other doc at the fertility clinic the day before when I have one less mature follicle told it was up to me if I wanted to continued with timmed intercourse but that the doctor the next day would prob tell me to skip this cycle. She told me I would ovulate today or tomorrow and not to have intercourse. Since I already had she told me not to stress out but not to have any more intercourse since I would ovulate that day or the next. If I had a positive test at the end of the month she would Schedule and early ultrasound. I have been very lucky to not have any side effects from Clomid.

love2run26 - did your doctor reduce your Clomid?. They told me that would help to make less follicles since my body seems to take so well to Clomid.

HI all, I am on day 15 of my first cycle of 50mg Chlomid, started on day 2. I have had ultra sound ever 2-3 days, i started with 8 follicles and now just one that is 20mm - Dr was expecting it to have ovulated by now and I have to go back friday for another scan - to see if it has gone or if not I may need an injection to make it 'pop' has anyone else come across this ?

Lesalou im not having scans just bloodwork so im not sure but it sounds promising.

lesalou - How did things turn out for you?.
I have monitoring with ultrasounds and blood work. It is normal for them to give you the injection to force ovulation or to give it if say you have 3 mature follicles and more growing. They will give it to you so the others don't mature.
Good luck

So I just went in for my first u/s for my first round of IUI. I have PCOS and didn't know what to expect. Dr said that I have 42 follicles ready to start maturing on each ovary. He said this was a high amount. I start the Clomid tonight and am really hoping for a happy outcome to all of this. Any advice?
