What do you think...

So I'm pretty positive I am out this month. Spotting has started, temps are dropping, cramping etc etc. I cried a tiny bit this morning because now we are officially moving onto HSG & IUI.
My question is.... If I scheduled my HSG for early next week it would be around CD 4-6, could I still do and IUI this month or do you think the RE would make me wait? Usually I O around CD 14-17 so it would be a week after the HSG. Is this something you think and RE would go for?

Re: What do you think...

  • If you are doing an unmedicated IUI, and the HSG gives you the all clear, I would think your RE would be up for IUI. But, I'm no expert.

    I'm sorry you feel you're out this cycle. I hope you're not though!

    I can ovulate on my own almost to the same day every month so it wouldn't be medicated. I just don't want to do the HSG and have them be like well now that we found nothing why don't you try on your own again this month, because obviously my uterus is not cooperating.

    Thanks for holding out hope but this is the usual for me. AF will probably grace me with her presence this weekend.

    Are you sure your RE does natural IUI?

    I know it's exciting to finally have renewed hope but I think you need to take a deep breath. Follow your REs testing plans, review all the results, and then come up with a treatment plan. It doesn't all need to be done in one cycle.

    ETA: Good luck with your HSG. I hope all is clear!

    When we discussed the IUI in my initial visit she said that since I ovulate on my own I would call the day I got my 1st + OPK and then have DH come in that day give a sample and I would come in the next day for the IUI. There was no mention of medicated anything unless they just left that part out. I guess it is something that I will have to ask about.
    I know I need to take a deep breath but it's so much easier to say "relax" then to actually relax.

  • Ditto LL. I know it sucks to have to wait again, but you might not be able to do both in the same cycle. They need to get all their testing done before you can move forward with treatment.

    That being said, if you're definitely doing an unmedicated IUI cycle, it's possible your RE might do it right away after the HSG. Just be aware that the HSG might affect your cycle. Not that mine were ever terribly consistent, but the cycle I had the HSG done, I O'd pretty late (even for me). It's possible it might throw you off a few days.

  • @luckyangel07 - thanks I didn't know that could happen. I'll have to load up on OPK's just to be cautious.

  • The HSG messed with my cycle - I was later than usual.

    Ditto LL, it sucks to wait, but you want to make sure you stick with the RE's protocol.

  • When I was going to do IUI my doc was still going to have me on clomid even though I always ovulate. But DH has mfi so that was taken into consideration as well. Mainly they just wanted to give the IUI the best possible chance of success

  • I'm not at all qualified to really answer this, but I've heard others mention that sometimes an HSG actually seems to clear minor blockages (I've heard that here, right?). Given that and the fact that it PPs think it could mess with your O date, I would probably wait it out a cycle. I'd hate to go through the process and expense of IUI and have it not work because I was unsure of how my cycle would act.

    I'm sorry you're at this point. :(
