I have now had 4 injections of FSH, the last one last night. At my last utrasound, Monday, nothing was happening. I am going to get another one tomorrow but I am worried that it will be the same. So, the question is do I keep injecting the stuff if it doesn't seem to be doing anything? Has anyone ever decided it was enough for that month and waited until the next cycle to try again? I feel like I am there if the test shows that I am not ready to ovulate tomorrow. I am on 75 iu of FSH and day 15 of my cycle.

My first IUI I did 4 injections of Gonal F at 75 and when they did the u/s the morning after the 4th injection I was ready for IUI the following 2 days. My 2nd and 3rd IUI, I did 4 injections of Gonal F at 75 again and when I went for u/s the morning after the 4th injection I was not ready. I went back in for u/s and b/d 2 days later (after 2 more shots of Gonal F at 75) and was ready for IUI the following two days. I would not stop the injections. I think sometimes the follicles can take longer so i woudl keep doing the hots and going in for b/w and u/s until they tell yiu that you are ready. If they don't think the follicles are developed enough for IUI this cycle, they should let you know. Good luck!

I did not do injections with my IUI. I just wanted to wish you luck!

It may just be that you need a higher dose. I'm sure your RE will adjust things if you haven't started responding. I started out on 150 IU, and there are many people who used more.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
