Was not expecting a BFP but got one anyway....however, it ended up being a blighted ovum and I miscarried two weeks ago. </p> <p>These are my “next steps” as per my doctor:</p> <p>1. Weekly bloodwork until my HCG levels reach 0. It’s been two weeks and my levels are at 34 (down from almost 19 000 just before my miscarriage).<br /> 2. When my HCG is 0, I can schedule an ultrasound to check for any retained tissue or other issues.<br /> 3. After my period returns, I have to have a sonohysterogram (this is a repeat test, as I already had one back in May before beginning fertility treatments).<br /> 5. After ALL of this, I think they may still want to monitor me again for one complete cycle before we can try an IUI.</p> <p>So, it’s still going to be awhile before we can resume medicated and/or IUI cycles, which is frustrating, but there’s nothing I can do. </p> <p>I hope you are able to try again sooner rather than later, and I wish you success in your journey. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/resuming-iui-after-miscarriage#post-2855983 Fri, 09 Nov 2018 15:55:24 +0000 Shantuck 2855983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was scheduled to do a Clomid/IUI cycle after my first period came following a D&amp;C. We did some bloodwork (not everything... just a few relevant hormone levels that you would do at the beginning of any cycle as the doctor was relying on the full panel of bloodwork that I sent him from another clinic months before my loss) and ultrasounds the day after my period started and found that I still had hcg lingering from the loss. I came in a couple days later (maybe around CD 5) and the hcg was still lingering (it was single digits at that point) so the doctor wouldn't let me proceed. I was really disappointed to not be able to start the IUI cycle but I did end up pregnant that cycle naturally so it all worked out in the end. They do say you have improved fertility after a loss, which was true for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/resuming-iui-after-miscarriage#post-2855977 Fri, 09 Nov 2018 15:42:31 +0000 Ajsmommy 2855977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would think since you had the testing recently that you wouldn't have to do it all again. I was doing IUI protocols for approx. 5 mos and they didnt' make me retest at any time during those months.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/resuming-iui-after-miscarriage#post-2855916 Fri, 09 Nov 2018 12:20:50 +0000 Spinny 2855916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bhbee: Thanks. I'm hoping that's the case for me too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/resuming-iui-after-miscarriage#post-2855913 Fri, 09 Nov 2018 12:09:09 +0000 bhbee 2855913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It’s really hard to say with your individual dr but I don’t see why you couldn’t move ahead. I had an early miscarriage while doing IUIs and they just made me take a cycle off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/resuming-iui-after-miscarriage#post-2855884 Fri, 09 Nov 2018 10:15:06 +0000 Spinny 2855884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was scheduled to start IUI in July, but I ended up getting pregnant on my own in June. I miscarried in August and I just emailed the RE to see what I would need to do to begin IUI again. Anyone have a similar situation? I went through so much testing and procedures earlier this year and I'm afraid they're going to want me to re-do it all. What is the likelihood they will let me jump right back in to IUI next cycle? </p>
