Suggest Treatment For PCOS
Hello.. I am 30years of age and my husband is 38years. We have been trying to have baby for the past few months . We underwent fertility tests and as per the reports I have PCOS(although I have regular periods) and my husband has a lower count of grade A sperm(30%).The doctor advised us to go for IUI this month for which I was subjected to a Follicular study. Today, on day 14, the outer circumference of the follicle measured 23mm which I believe is the ideal size before it ruptures. The doctor gave me an Ovitrelle shot today for the follicle to rupture as she said it may not,without the aid of this shot,and asked me to do the IUI day after. However, my worry is if at all the follicle ruptures today or tomorrow, and IUI is administered only day after, will it be too late?Please suggest what is the best wayto go about this...thanks.

Hi welcome to healthcaremagic.
I have gone through your question.
As ovum remain vital for 36-48 hours after ovulation, so insemination should be done after ovulation, has greater chance of fertilization.
So its not late its on time.
Hope i answered your question.
Would be happy to help you further.
Take care.
