IUI is where the "washed sperm" is inserted into uterus using a thin flexible catherer.
The process of inserting the catherer usually doesn't take very long, but since the procedure has to be done with a full bladder - the whole waiting for your bladder to fill up might take long.
The best timing to perform the IUI (according to Dr F) is to be done within the 24hours of ovulation- detected through LH surge in urine and ultrascan of the follicle. That's why I had to visit the doctor every 2 days to monitor.
For me the whole process leading to IUI procedure goes like this:
- Arrange to see doctor on 2nd or 3rd day of mensus
- Immediately start jab & medicine (Clomid) for continuous of 5 days
- Return to see doctor on day 11 (where I had 2 more jab), 13 then 15.
- On day 15, IUI is done. Along with the IUI, I had another jab - which is injected to the lower abdomen by the nurse with REAL NEEDLE/SHRINGE (the needle was as long as 2 inches!) and I am now on medication (Duphaston)- to stop on first sign on period
For now, it's gonna be a wait of 2-weeks or until 23 January.
