Well, I had my IUI today, 36 hours post trigger. My husband's sample was his best ever. In our previous IUIs, total motile sperm was 7-8 million, for this cycle it was 63 million! Either he really improved with the multivitamin he started taking or its a lab error. Now the dreaded 2 ww. Oh, and I found out my E2 from the day of trigger (it was 523 and the lining was 8 mm).
Oh hope. I was down about this cycle because i only stimmed for 5 days, and now my husband has his best sperm sample. Now i have an inking of hope. Which makes a negative beta that much worse.
On another note, my clinic does not endorse the use of supplemental progesterone after a follistim/iui cycle. They say you don't need it, since the follicles have not been removed and are producing enough estrogen. but i've read on some sites that most MDs do recommend progesterone in gonadotropin cycles because the elevated estrogen can interfere with endometrial development. What gives? I do have some leftover crinone from a previous cycle, maybe i could use that. but the crinone is so messy and expensive, i think i'll follow my MD's orders.
