Taking Treatments For PCOD, Hypothyroidism And Fertility. Any Solution To Increase Follicle Size And Conceive?

Hello Dr.
I am married for 6 years now. I have PCOD and Hypothyroid. I am under treatment for the same and Fertility. I have undergone laproscopy recently. I am trying out IUI this month. I have taken Siphene. I have also taken 4 HMG injections of 150 Iu till day 18 however the follicle size is still 13.5. my monthly cycles vary from 40-50 days. docs have suggested me to stop the injections and continue with 1 or 2 more scans and check the possibility of increase in the follicle size. Is there any possibility of conception with this treatment this month. what is the best possible solution.

Hello
Welcome to HCM

The follicles as you have mentioned are slow growing. As the size is still around 13.5 it will be ideal to wait for 48hrs and see if the growth take place

Only after the follicle reaches the dominant size will the egg get released

Hence please wait and check it out. If the growth is good then you can plan IUI as decided
However if no growth is seen then your consultant might cancel the cycle and reprogramme

wish you all the best
