Schedule your initial consultation with your fertility specialist. Discuss your medical history, including any previous fertility treatments and medications. The doctor will conduct a thorough examination and order necessary tests to assess your reproductive health.
Begin Clomid treatment as prescribed. Follow your doctor’s instructions precisely regarding dosage and timing. This typically involves taking Clomid pills for 5 days, starting on cycle day 3 or 5.
Monitor your ovulation. Your doctor will likely recommend tracking your basal body temperature (BBT) and using ovulation predictor kits (OPKs) to pinpoint the precise time of ovulation. Regular ultrasound scans may also be scheduled to monitor follicle growth.
Attend scheduled IUI procedure. The IUI procedure is a minimally invasive procedure performed in a clinic setting. You will receive medication to relax you if necessary and the procedure itself only takes a few minutes. The timing of the IUI is crucial and should align with ovulation.
Following the IUI, continue adhering to your doctor’s post-procedure instructions. This may include dietary and lifestyle advice to support a successful pregnancy. You might also receive progesterone supplements.
Undergo pregnancy testing. Wait the appropriate time before taking a pregnancy test. Your doctor will schedule a blood test to confirm the results. This allows for the most accurate results.
