You are taking the eggs out, fertilizing them and then putting them back in hopes that they stick in there. Very different than an IUI. With IUI the sperm still meets the egg in the uterus and goes into the fallopian tubes and so on. Very different. Spinning for a girl....not harsh at all. Infertile woman get sperm washing before IUI all the time and get pregnant. I thought I had a GREAT chance at getting pregnant being that I have had 5 LIVE births, no complications or Miscarriages in my life. The doctor even thought it was going to work. But, it does happen.....I get it. Now its time to move on. I guess my doctor feels that I do ok on my own getting pregnant.....I mean I just had a baby 17 months ago, my body should know the mode!!! My doctor is going to do the same timing.......she said timing was not a factor at all. I was ovulating and I caught the surge. Must of been egg quality. Or she did tell me to test in a few days if I have not had my period yet.....late implantation. She did mention that sometimes IUI's can implant late. But, I am not holding out for that!! I will just do it again. I am so scared to do the drugs again because I responded so well. If we upped them then my chances of canceling are higher as well as multiples. I just don't know what to do anymore. Do I do the same thing....50mg clomid and trigger shot or do natural as the doctor suggested with me doing OPKs and then when I get a positive go in the next day or so and just do the wash???? I am so confused since this is the last time I can do this!!!!!
