Dissapointed and sad
The disappointment on Sunday was very big! After the third insemination I had my periods. I was very very sad! I vriend allt that dag! I do insemination with donorsperm because I am a single mom. I had a total of 4 donor sperm reservations of which I used 3. So I have 1 more attempt. There are no more samples from this donor and he now lives in another country. The only option to give me extra chances of getting pregnant is ICSI. Do I still have a chance of having a daughter by doing ICSI? Can the pcos diet increase my chances of having a girl or is it not helping?

Are you doing anything that might cut odds of conception?? Taking any herbal supplements or trying to do timing with your insemination?
Yes, you still can get a girl through ICSI. It's a 50-50 chance since they inject the sperm right into the egg.
The PCOS Diet, if you need to be on it, is likely helping you boost your chances of conception anyway. This is because it's better for egg quality even more so than a regular diet is.!!! Questions?? Check out the NEW and improved Complete Index !!!

I get ultrasounds to determine my ovulation so they know when the insemination can take place, but I don't do anything special. I was following the PCOS diet but was not so strict anymore. I also stopped drinking alcohol. I only did this the first cycle. I have not taken any herbs or other supplements. I have been eating a bit more candy lately. I'm not trying to do this anymore. I also want to try to lose weight because I am 5 kg overweight. Maybe this will help too.

If it helps at all, we did ICSI and ended up with mostly girls. There's been a few studies out there that have found a slight increase in female embryos when using ICSI. It may be a coincidence...I don't know but it's interesting.

IUI are just not that high a chance of conception, unfortunately. It may be nothing you did or didn't do, it's just that IUI are not as good a chance as we would like.
As long as the clinic is doing the insemination at the appropriate time that's great. There are a few disreputable clinics that will do the insemination at the wrong time telling people they are doing timing, but they are giving the woman no chance of conception that way.
Losing a bit of weight may help but that's really minimal. I suspect it's more just that it has not happened yet.!!! Questions?? Check out the NEW and improved Complete Index !!!

With my first son I got pregnant in the third cycle. During the ultrasound my follicles were always 18 mm and I had the insemination 2 days afterwards. With my second son, I was pregnant the first time. Again my follicle was 18mm and 2 days later it was the insemination. Now that I am tryinf for a third child, my follicle was only 14.9mm during the second cycle. The insemination was also 2 days afterwards. I didn't have a good feeling about it at the time and thought it might be too soon that they did the insemination. They did a blood test every time to see if I was going to ovulate. I just hope that I can still get pregnant via ICSI and hopefully with a girl. Although I find it less important now.
