Thumbs up Menopur and IUI

This is my first round of menopur with IUI
I took 75IU injections for 18 days and then upped to 112.5IU for 5 days and finally upped to 150IU for 3 days- went in for US on the third day of 150IU and there was a folli at 18mm... So we did the IUI on Monday- I have 8 days to go before I can test.
In my case, we used the lowest dose of menopur because I have PCOS and I overstimulated on chlomid so I didn't get as far as the IUI. I can't carry more than 1 child at a time because I am high risk- believe me, I wish I could have 2 at once and then I would be done....

So, the first cycle is like the trial run- they need to see how much it takes to stimulate without over doing it-
My RE nurse says that with Menopur, she has seen women go 32 days of injections before either folli is right size OR they think about aborting the cycle.

Hang in there- it is a slow process-but well worth it!
