Anyone take a month off from an IUI?

Question

I leave for vacation on Friday and unfortunately do not think I will get my period in time to start my baseline blood work and ultrasound. My fertility clinic will not let me start letrozole and IUI again without being monitored. So my options are:

1. Skip the month of July and try again in August. 
2. Find a clinic in South Carolina where I am vacationing that would allow me to get in for the blood work and ultrasound that provides same day results and doesn't need an appointment.

As you know in the process.. Waiting an entire month and not doing anything to reach your dreams of having a baby is stressful and scary. Especially when it's been 4 years of trying for us with two pregnancy losses; one as recent as January. But I don't know if I want to stress about finding a clinic down there that I can use and having to call a bunch of places to figure it out before I leave. And at the same time I am scared if we skipped and tried naturally 1. I won't ovulate on my own and 2. I won't get my period again in a normal time frame. Without meds I have about a 38-45 day cycle.

I am so upset and stressed today. I don't know what to do :(

Answer

I think sometimes a month off to relax does more good than harm in this process. It may make your next cycles more successful if you are relaxed and happy! I'd say take the break

I'm in the same boat, traveling on my own for 2 weeks leaving on cd 12/13. I think maybe it'll be good, we just did our 1st IUI this month, had lots of follicles a good sperm count and we didn't conceive. Feeling pretty discouraged. May push my doctor for tests to rule out autoimmune infertility.

I am in the same boat.. I decided to take he month off not to add onto the stress.  I also feel as though that break will give time to help my mind and body reset.  Good luck to you!

Answer

I think finding a clinic and all of that would be to stressful for me. I would take a month off. We sucks I know, I cried when my husband and I discussed it and we haven't been trying as long. We decided to try this month, but if it doesn't work we will take August off. He will be out of town at the end of the month, and I feel like to it would stress me out and waste our time if we had to freeze his specimen and then that was the only "BD" during the fertile window.
