IUI treatment for infertility problem

TTC! Do I need IUI?

I am scared.

I have been trying since 4-5 months now. No success. My husband is on tablets for low motility (10% in 30 million. he is obese too) since last month. 3 months back, my ovulation study showed that I was ovulating from left on the 10th day (26 mm follicle). I have 24-26 day cycle.

I have one USG coming this month too.

Doctor gave me an ovulation inducing medicine last time for what I don't know. This time I decided to take the USG without the medicine. And she said we can do IUI. I don't know why she suggested that without our trying for one complete year.

Many people take tablets for low motility and have babies. I am just worried.

Pls help.

Hi Vasumathy,

I am so relieved and happy to see your reply. I can't explain how I tense and depressed I was.

I have been undergoing a lot of stress since last year due to health issues of my dad. I also a laparotomy for a large ovarian cyst (in kochi) a year back. It was a simple cyst yet so large. But my obstetrician told me that there is no problem in conception. I had 2 USG after that. And my operated ovary was also producing follicles.

But my current gyneac doesn't explain much and it leaves me puzzled. After reading your explanation now I feel that I should have taken the tablets this much.

I am 27 and my husband is 31. He is obese and is not working on losing weight. This further adds up to my worry. If his low motility is due to obesity then losing weight should be the first step.

I am not mentally prepared for IUI right now and would like to try naturally for a few more months.

But do you think the tabs for low motility work?
If it does then why she suggested IUI? I feel that she just assumed that we are desperate for a baby as it has been four years.
Doesn't he have to do the semen analysis again? My husband did not ask the doc anything .:drowning

Thanks a lot dear.

I don't have a sister and now I am so happy and feel that I have sisters on indusladies .

My husband did Semen Analysis around a month back. The first one got us stumped as there were some errors on our part and it showed no sperms. The next 3 days of wait made us decide that if the next test shows the same result we are going to enjoy life without worry and he told me he would retire from job as early as 31!:hide: Phew!

Okay, let me coax my DH to some regular exercise at least until I conceive.

Tomorrow is my USG. Fingers crossed!

Thanks Sankna. My Dh is the limit. We have a wondeful gym in our community which is free and yet he wants to but a treadmill at home. And since I don't approve of it I am "the cu;prit" behind his obesity.

I have undergone two days of ovulation studies. On 8th day my follicle was 20mm and today, the 9th, it was 23. My doc was on leave today and the assistant called her up and asked me to take fertygen inj. I assumed it was to rupture the follicle and I asked to speak to the doc. I was not sure why they had to rupture it when I my last study showed me ovulating with a 26mm. One doc told me it was natural for a follicle to rupture 18mm which another said it was 22mm. I do not know this follicle business and nobody explains.:spin And last time the doc had suggested IUI with letrozole tabs. So I told my doc that we will try naturally for a few months more. Anyway, I have my USG on monday too.

I hope it ruptures today and something happy clicks.

Thanks a lot ladies. I shall keep you updated.
