RE Follow-up Part II

When I saw the last RE (an associate of my Dr) he answered many of my questions but he felt that my own Dr. should clue me in as to what to do next. He was on vacation and a note was left for him to call me. I was stunned when he actually called his first day back (today) at 8:15Am.

We spoke for about 20 minutes...I feel very calm with him and I was happy when he first said "Ally, we need to get aggressive here". I agreed and asked a million questions about the next steps. He suggested Gonal-F injections for the next cycle. I start on CD 3 and take the shots for 7-10 days depending how my FSH looks in the blood tests. I take the HSG shot to make sure ovulation matures and then follow up with another IUI. I asked how the Gonal -F shots would be more effective than the Clomid (since I produce many follies on it) and he stated that the Gonal-F actually makes better eggs...and thats what I need at my age. Another good thing is that the effective rate doubles for a positive pregnancy. WOOWOO!!

So, I am hopeful once again. I sure hope these cysts dissipate in time and I don't have to sit out for another month. He is confident that they will.


IUI #4...here we come.
