What does an injectable IUI cycle look like?

Question

Good morning guys-I've had a couple failed IUI's and I'm going to ask my RE about possibly trying injectables next cycle (I've only done clomid/Ovidrel the past 2). Just wondering how often and for how long you have to do the shots for? Are they administered the same way as Ovidrel? I've read injectable cycles produce better eggs then Clomid cycles so I'm hoping I can try it this time.

Answer

I have done 2 injectables.   First time did shots for 10 days, second time for 9.  Usually they are subcutaneous just like ovidrel.  The biggest pain in the ass aspect of injectable IUI is all the monitoring/bloodwork.  I had to go for 5 total monitoring apptmts including the baseline ultrasound where they check to make sure you don't have any cysts and can start.  Good luck!  It's a good next step.  I did get pregnant my first one but it was chemical probably due to my age.
