AI THROUGH GYNAE

Hi Alonzosmum

I've done AI twice while under the care of a fertility specialist and can honestly say that I wouldn't recommend doing it any other way. There's just so much they have to monitor etc. Too little medication means you're just waisting your time and money, but too much and you could end up with way too many eggs and possibly a pregnancy of multiples (which is risky for your health and your wallet ).

My first AI I only had 1 follicle, which is usable, but the chances of success are still quite slim. Second time my FS prescribed some extra hormones via injections that I had to administer to myself daily for a couple of days, however that over stimulated me very badly (10 or more follicles) so we had to cancel that round. Third time he lower the dosage of the injections and everything was just right. Had 3 follicles that looked promising and the right size when we did the scans.

We haven't been successful yet, but hoping to be there soon.

Let me know if you have any particular questions and I'll see if I can answer them.

Hi,

New to the forum,

Is there anyone who has done AI through a normal gynae and not a specialist and had succesful results.And any information on the subject od donor sperm or AI in general would be helpful.
