Generally post ovulation your CM will get gluey and sticky more dry not clear. Does it happen all cycles for you or just this iui cycle?
IUI/SO-IUI: Anyone?
- Thread starter xinyu
- Start date
Just this cycle.. ya gluey de.. ytd evening and this morning only.. noon dont have already.. usually it will happen to me only few days before period de.. but my period will only be due on 25th, my period very regular also.. and I'm still having a little cramp here and there also..
I am exactly same dates as you my periods is due Christmas eve or Christmas day. I'm also very regular cycle. I am having mild on and off cramping too. I'm. Also bloated today could be weekend eating
Oh! So coincidence... ok , we shall jiayou together.. r u on any medication now?
I did natural iui not on any medication
Dont give up! Lets continue to work harder babeMy IUI didn't work out for me
Oh okie.. so on any medication after IUI? I'm on duphaston for 3weeks
I see this is Progesterone? Where did you do your iui?
Ya it's progesterone. I did my IUI with Dr Tan Heng Hao
Oh nice one heard good things about him. Did you do it in kkh? My number is 98586151 can we what's app? I want to get some info please
How come she will not do iui for u?
The MO on duty will do the iui. It seems it’s the usual practice in kkh . Any idea?
Timing is the most important. The procedure itself is like 5 mins to do. So don't worry too much
Hi Moon08, I just did my first SO IUI at Kkh, was referred by polyclinic and doctor is Dr Chua Ka Hee. Did the usual blood tests (i.e whether if I'm ovaluating etc...), SA followed by HSG and was given all clear before we proceed to SO IUI. He gave us 3 options, continue to try natural way since all results were good, iui or SO IUI but due to age we decided to go with SO IUI.
Started first cycle early December, had to jab myself with Puregon to help follicles grow, went back KKH 3 to 4 times for scan to check on follicles and had to do additional shots to stop ovulation. And finally on the last 3 days before the procedure itself trigger shot and then the procedure.
It's correct that the procedure will not be administered by the Dr we are with but it was one of the doctors whom we saw during our follow-ups post scans. Overall process took less than 10 mins and I rested for around 30 mins and went home.
Now in my TTW
have to go back for blood test 30 Dec. The nurses on site are all really nice and friendly so need not worry!
That’s niceYes KK practices a team doctor approach. Even during the stimm period, you will see the doc on duty which may not be your own specialist. I did my IUI in KK in Nov. I didn’t see my own specialist at all though I’m private patient. But even though it was not successful I found the docs and nurses at KKIVF centre professional and helpful. So don’t worry about it

After a unsuccessful cycle, does the specialist do a review or post analysis of possible causes of failure? I understand most of the time it’s unexplained factor.Yes KK practices a team doctor approach. Even during the stimm period, you will see the doc on duty which may not be your own specialist.

Did you do only one iui? I asked my Dr how many cycles she recommends she just said let's take one step at a time we talk when the time comes
My 2nd iui attempt failed. Period came while i went Batam w family last week. I'm so depressed and can't even find the energy to cry now. I'm considering going for diagonistic tests (encouraged by my OBGYN) and hubby says to take a break first for now.. well, I'll have to, since i was overseas and couldn't go to my OBGYN on period day 2.
To all the mummies to be who have just had your iui insemination, pray you'll have baby dust and good news!

@StayingPositive i think SO-IUI can be done back to back. But needs to start on Day 2 of your period cycle for oral meds. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Thank you!

Ah to update, what happened was I went back to KK on day 2 of my period, and they did a scan for me. In the scan, they found that there was still some cyst like thingie (cannot rmb the actual term) due to the 'leftover injections' in my body and hence cannot proceed to try for this cycle
Then KKIVF centre not available for SOIUI from 6 Jan to 20 Jan. Haiz I really want to try again for SOIUI instead of waiting till Feb leh. So I have made an appointment at TFC to find out more about their processes and cost. Though the thing is... TFC moving to Paragon, and they still waiting for some licensing, probably mid Jan then will get. Hopefully just in time for my period cycle.

I'm 13DPIUI, menses due 29 Dec but had some spotting yesterday so likely this cycle didn't work out. Guess will have to go for another cycle!
I thought my menses will be delayed cuz had the impression duphaston delays period but somehow mine feels like its coming earlier.
Jia you and good luck for your results!
It's like it wont work for me tooo.... i saw some brown spotting just only...
Mine was yellowish brown yesterday then suddenly abit of bright red then today watery
sorry if its tmi!I'm required to go back to kkh for mandatory urine test on 30th, if we wanna start 2nd cycle can we do so on 30th or have to wait for next doctor's appointment? I think 30th is my heavy flow day.

hi ladies,I did my SO IUI with KKH start from 13rd Dec being prescribed with 50mg preuregon. On 6th day -1st review,the egg is growing slow at only max 8mm,7mm and 6mm. hence,increased the dosage to 75mg. 2nd review on 8th day, 2 eggs growing to 11mm and continue with 75mg dosage till 11th day,only 1 egg continue to grow to 15mm and 11mm remained the same. so doc have decided to prescribe to 100mg preuregon and 0.25mg Ganerelix to prepare for 27 Dec IUI dissemination. My egg growing slower than other according to my IVF friends. Now I have taken leave to rest at home and just bought drip chicken essense today to start to drink after I done my IUI tomorrow. anyone share the same with me?
I think the rage for egg size varies between individuals. What did your Dr say? Mine was natural iui no meds. On day 9 it was about 16mm. I think anything over 18mm on your ovulation day should be fine
Range can be very varied 18 to 30 I think. Don't stress just trust the Dr and pray everything goes smooth. Good luck
Ohh why are they not available from 6 to 20 Jan? I think my first cycle didn't work as well, will be gg back on the 30th for mandatory blood test, do you know if I can start 2nd cycle immediately after the blood test?

Think they may do a scan and advise if you can start immediately or not. So when you start heavy flow, then call them to update about it and see if can go scan. They are closed in Jan cos of CNY period i think. Probably they counted roughly when will ovulation happen for the IUI to take place, then dont wanna risk it cos of the public holidays?
@StayingPositive thank you
Got it thanks!
I told clinic I had brown spotting today and straight away went down. Was asked to stop duhpaston and prepare for next cycle. Also took letrozole today and will only start on my D2 period. But now still brown spotting onlyMine was yellowish brown yesterday then suddenly abit of bright red then today watery

Hi Rine, are you with kkh or private clinic? Did they do blood test for you to confirm if you conceive?
I think I will skip one cycle and start my 2nd next month since kkivf center is also close for a good part of Jan.
My period came full blown but I'm having one of the worse cramps, never this bad before. Not sure why
I'm at private, no did not do blood test. Today period come liaoHi Rine, are you with kkh or private clinic? Did they do blood test for you to confirm if you conceive?

Dont depressed.. lets jiayou!!!
I know the feeling.. But let's try to be positive and jia you *hugs*
Kkivf protocol, even if period is here already also must do the blood test, its mandatory. They were saying just in case it's a complication i.e miscarriage.
And since they are close most part of Jan I will skip the December one and resume end Jan!
Have been silently reading these past few days and never expected that there are so many of us that are also in the same boat. I was honestly very upset after being diagnosed by the doctor that I have a PCOS problem a couple of years ago (at 27 years old) and do not ovulate all the time. I did further checks and discovered that my body/blood has a lot of environmental toxins. I made many changes to my lifestyle and the largest changes were made last year. During my scan in dec, it appears that I had some improvements to my PCOS condition.
I just did my first SO-IUI (at 31 years old) at Raffles and it’s post 8th day, nevertheless I’m hoping I’ll get lucky although the chances of IUI is pretty low. The total cost as of now is approximately $2.3k, this does not include the cost of HSG. I did the HSG which was totally pain free and super fast. I was super scared as I read about the pain previously. You would only experience pain if there is a blockage.
All of you ladies are really brave. Jiayou and babydust to all!!
PS: Will be glad to join a support group if there is.
