Schedule for Cycle 2 of IUI

Jun 20, 2008

Today I recieved in the mail the revised schedule for Cycle 2!

Here it is:

Monday, June 30 - 1st ultrasound (to make sure there are no cysts or developing follicles)
**Everything looks perfect. No cysts and no follicles. Cycle 2 on go.

Tuesday, July 8 - Saturday, July 12 - Take 50mg of Clomid daily (to stimulate follicle growth)

Monday, July 14 - 2nd ultrasound (to monitor follicle growth)
**Two 9mm follicles and one 6mm follicle in left ovary.

Monday, July 14 - Wednesday, July 16 - 1 vial of FSH hormone daily (This is an injection that will help multiple follicles mature and develop. The hope here is that I will have 2-3 follicles ready for ovulation unlike last cycle where I had only one follicle mature enough for ovulation.)
**I will have an additional 2 vials of FSH hormone on Thursday, July 17 and Friday, July 18.

Thursday, July 17 - 3rd ultrasound (to monitor follicle growth), hCG injection (This injection will induce ovulation and I will recieve this injection if follicles are ready for ovulation induction on this day.)
**Three follicles in left ovary (12.5mm, 10mm, 10mm) and one follicle in right ovary (9mm); hSG shot and insemination delayed to allow for further follicle growth.

Friday, July 18 - first insemination
**Postponed

Saturday, July 19 - second insemination
**Postponed

Saturday, July 19 - 4th ultrasound (to monitor follicle growth)
**One dominant follicle in left ovary (18mm); recieve hCG shot at 9:30pm

Sunday, July 20 - first insemination
**Inseminated with 16 million sperm.


Monday, July 21 - second insemination
**Inseminated with 7.7 million sperm.

August 2008 - Elaine goes in for Blood Work
**Negative. Not pregnant. :(
