First IUI “perfect” cycle fails
Hi everyone, I’m feeling really down and looking for some insight, comfort, or advice on what to look into next. I just got a negative result on my first IUI cycle that looked completely textbook perfect on paper, and I’m struggling to understand what went wrong. We are trying since 2 years with medicated cycles and TI as I have PCOS and don’t ovulate regularly, but that’s the only issue.
Details on my IUI cycle:
- used gonal F (50) and had one mature follicle of 24 mm the day of the trigger.
- triggered with ovitrelle and had IUI the morning after.
- on the day of the procedure we saw on ultrasound that my follicle was shrinking live! So I was ovulating in that exact moment.
-lining was 11.5 mm but still used 200 mg progesterone vaginally to support luteal phase.
-sperm count was 73M post wash
Additional detail: my tubes are both open, I had HSG procedure 4 months ago.
I am really feeling frustrated as I was so confident it would have worked because everything seemed so perfect. I am really demotivated to start over and I’m loosing all my hopes.
For those who have been through this, how do you cope when a "perfect" cycle fails? Are there any specific additional tests I should ask my RE?
for before trying again, or is this truly just a victim of bad statistics?
Thank you so much for your support!
