IUI/SO-IUI: Anyone?
- Thread starter xinyu
- Start date
think the diff btw IUI and SOIUI is that for IUI, we need to take oral medicine (clomid) and as for SOIUI, we need to inject ourselves with Puregon from day 2 of menses (till day 7 or 8, depending on how u respond to the injection). Gynae will ask you to go back clinic on day 10 or after to scan the follicles, however if there are more follicles, there might be a chance to convert to IVF (in case of multiple births). The most expensive part will be the injectibles because each individual is different (roughly est to be ard $1k or more). If the SOIUI is to be performed few days later, gynae will give you HCG to ask a GP to administer the jab for you (time to be prescribed by the gynae and must adhere qt strictly). Gynae will also let you know when must your hubby produce the sperm, as they have to wash the sperm etc..after that, they will perform the SOIUI for you, its the same procedure for IUI, u just lie on the bed and gynae will use a fine catether to introduce the sperm in, after that to rest on the bed for 20mins. You also have to try on your own on that nite itself (a must) but no harm trying on other nites too, can increase your chances.You can ask gynae for 1-2 days mc and will be given Progestrone tablets to consume, you can have a pregnancy test done 14 days later to see if you are pregnant.
Just did my SOIUI in Jun07 and hope its still fresh in my mind.

helpme, don't be upset. have you asked your RE what went wrong? usually, there should be a debrief session.
will you be doing iui or so-iui next time?
wen, don't be stressed. your body need to feel relaxed in order for your follies to grow well.
think positive - don't think of failure even before you start your iui. positive thinking is half the battle won!

Hi helpme, sorry to hear that you are not successful this time around. Try again and think positive. I'm new here and I've been trying for the past 4 years. I have just started soiui. I did iui previously with another gynae but decided to change so I felt he did not do a thorough job. I know how you feel when it's not successful.... took me a year to do again. Well hopefully it'll be better this time.

I have taken 4 days of clomid and yesterday did my first jab. I couldn't do it myself and got hubbi to do it for me. In a way it's also to get him involved in the cycle. Personally, I feel that it's just so unfair that women have to undergo so much ( jabs and pills and unless probbing from gynae) and men just ...... i dun know what. Oh well, at least hubbi is supportive.
