Wishing next Friday would hurry up so I can have my pre IUI scan.
Have decided although we have been told to obstain for 3-5 days pre IUI, that I'm not going to this time.
Been doing lots of reading up on timescales.
If I inject I will ovulate 12-36 hours after injecting.
The egg may last as little as 12hours.
Prepped/washed sperm lasts about 5-12hours
So, I'm thinking of injecting as late as possible as by the time I get to my appointment, the egg may already be bad.
Best to have some sperm in there waiting right?!
But if I then don't ovulate till 36hours after the injection.... the sperm will all be dead anyway.
I see why IUI success rates are very low!
As there's no issue with the sperm... gonna bd before and after a few times.
I've had 4 chemicals now so it's starting to hurt my brain 🙄
I've had NO alcohol for months. Cut out coffee and don't drink much tea. Don't drink fizzy drinks very often at all.
Had showers as opposed to hot baths.
Take pregnancare, and now clomid.,
Nothing has made the blindest bit of difference!!
I've been nuts with symptom spotting, temping and all the rest. Tried not to, but you just can't help it!
So this month i need to try and switch off.
I'm Opk-ing simply because the hospital have requested it.
Sorry for the long winded post. It's just on my mind constantly and it's sooo expensive to have IUI 😑
