Brief Answer:
SECOND IUI TO BE DONE AFTER OVULATION CONFIRMED
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
From the information provided by you, I gather that the first IUI was done on 16th of December on day 12 of the cycle.
Could you let me know what was the measurement of the follicles in the ovaries on that day ?
Also, was there any suggestion of ovulation?
Also, on 16th day, there is a ripe follicle in both ovaries.
Pubergen contains
HCG, so that is given to trigger ovulation.
Is a second IUI planned ?
Ideally, the follicle should grow to atleast 18 - 20 mm , and then HCG shot is given to induce ovulation.
Then IUI is done after 36 hours.
In your case, I do not understand why IUI was done BEFORE ovulation.
Right now, it is best to go for a second IUI after 36 hours AFTER confirming ovulation ( by one more
ultrasound scan ).
The semen count is good enough.
Also, if 3 - 6 cycles of IUI fail, inspite of good ovulation, your wife should undergo
laparoscopy and
hysteroscopy to check if her fallopian tubes are open.
She should take daily
folic acid supplements, and
progesterone support after IUI is done.
All the best.
Please feel free to ask for further clarifications.
