<font color="0077aa">hi serene
eh...i never done IUI or SO-IUI, hope you don't mind my comments....
I agree with you that sperms and eggs are getting older each day. And after every cycle, be it IUI or IVF, it is very tiring to us physically and mentally. Not to mention it being aborted and failed.

I will be starting on IVF this sept/oct and this is my 1st one. Did not even consider trying IUI. When Dr Loh asked me which one i want, i told him ivf, cos chances higher, he respected my decision and let me proceed with it. I'm not sure if you really wanna try at least 3 IUI then embark IVF...but if it is me, i would be totally drained and not motivated by then....

Perhaps you want to seek a 2nd opinion and decide? Take care =)

take a break in puregon...cos too stressful no good for stimulation.. =)</font>
 


Hi Serene!

If i were u, i will opt in for IVF cos chances is higher... For me, I was asked to go IVF due the my hubby sperm's count plus I dont ovulate..

serene - I went thru 2 rounds of SO-IUI with injecting puregon of 100IU, first round of iui scan at day 9 was 7 eggs, day 11 scan was 5 eggs and reach 18mm. 2nd round of iui still inject puregon of 100iu + 50mg of clomid, day 8 scan was 8 eggs, day 11 left abt 6 or 7. Angela from CARE told me both cycles by right have to be aborted cos too many eggs! after 2nd round I decided ivf it shall be, I was so drained mentally and when Angela saw our reports our option was only ivf. I'll be embarking this Sept. If u dun feel comfortable with watever ur gynae is doing, seek 2nd opinion
 
hi ineedmiracle, seaview, winniepooh,

Thanks for the advise.
I afraid my fertility doc might get offended if I insisted on doing ivf instead of trying IUI 1st. I m thinking of SO-IUI since I dun respond veri well with clomid. If 2 rounds still unsuccessful then proceed with IVF. Like u gals suggest, mayb I shld seek 2nd opinion.
 
hi ineedmiracle,

May I know the reason why dr loh didnt recommend you to do SO-IUI 1st? Tot normally, fertility doc will start from IUI/SO-IUI then proceed to ivf.

I think my doc wanted us to try IUI 1st as my hub SA result is ok, my blood test result is ok too except tat i m not ovulating regularly. Mayb I shld let my doc know my concerns. I dun wan to miss the chance to do IUI just becos my follicles did not grow to the ideal size. Every cycle is very precious to us. I think if he is against me of doing SO-IUI, I will change another fertility doc.
 
<font color="0077aa">serene,
erm...i'm not sure why he didn't recommend SO-IUI. He asked me if I wan to start with IUI or straight to IVF. I told him IVF cos chances are higher. =)

I think if he wants me to go IUI, i will still insist on IVF. </font>

<font color="aa00aa">hi all, Update from my end. I am preggie, but at a very high risk for miscarriage. Beta level is quite low - all the docs I've seen don't view it very positive. I know that everything is in His hands and I committ it all to Him. Please continue to pray for me.

Going back to KK tmrw as all the docs are out this afternoon. Hugs all!</font>
 
<font color="0077aa">iloveshoes

Shoes:- Congrats!!! Will pray for u... God Blessed u!! *hugs*

P.s Dont carry heavy things... If possbile, dont walk too much... Rest on bed and laze...

<font color="aa00aa">serene, I would just move onto IVF if I were you. IUI didn't work for us either and Clomid was not great for me.

<font color="aa00aa">winniepooh, if I were u, I would take advantage of working in my family biz to take the time needed off. Something that can't be easily done if u worked for others, for you should consider it as part of your priviledge in working for your family. </font>
 
oh tokkie is also from RH?
Hi Tokkie... Are you there??

Seaview - ya... a very stressful, emotional and physical torture... haha.. What about you??
 
<font color="aa00aa">12mami - read about your bleed. If not red blood, you should be fine.

Adeline - doc all out this pm, so tmrw then will give additional support. I'm also going to see my regular ob tmrw, he is also out today! only managed to see dr zou today and get some an tai medication, though she was shaking her head a lot and I was like..errr...really that bad ah :p
