Posted on Mon, 23 Jun 2014
Question: Hi,I got done my laproscopy on 12th April,2014 and till date i haven't got my periods.Its almost 1months gap ,i asked doc he told to take devry 10mg for 5 days twice a day.i started on 18th of may and finished it on 22nd may.but still no result.Now the issue is my husband is into merchant navy so my doc said that once i will get my periods for this month he will plan for IUI.Can iui will be sucess if my husband is not here..as after iui we have to keep relation for 4 days continously...so kindly help me into it.

Now though i havent got my periods my doc said to take ovral L for 21 days and after that i may get my periods so now again this month i cant think of IUI.
So please let me know what should i do ?

Brief Answer:
try regesterone.

Detailed Answer:
Dear member,
Thanks for writing.
I hope pregnancy test was done after you had missed your cycle in may.

If not pregnant then tablet deviry will usually cause bleeding in most patients.
If you are taking ovral for 21 days then the IUI can't be done in this cycle.so why don't you wait for a week or take regesterone tablet thrice a day for 3 days.
That way if you get period this cycle then atleast the there is a chance of doing IUI.

If your husband is leaving because of job constraints then frozen semen IUI is a option as it can be done even if he is not around. But the facilities required for the same should be available.
Besides after IUI we encourage the couple to have intercourse but there is no compulsion to have sex on 4 continuous days.
The semen will be diluted if intercourse happens every day.
Please write back if you have any queries.
You can also post question directly to

Yes i did pregnancy test and it was negative even i did in may and also yesterday.My husband already left and also kept frozen semen for two iui's..is it safe to take regestrone as i will wait for a week and then i will take Ovral l tablet for 21days as i still think i will be waiting for my periods one week more.As i got my last periods on 2nd april.
Anyways thanks for telling me that though my hubby is not here than also mu iui can be successful..as i did two iui's before in month of feb and march but it was not succesfull and so my doc said for laproscopy but in that also everything was clear..means there was no blockage in utereous...so i was worried that this time it can be succeful or not as without my partner.

Brief Answer:
wait for a week.

Detailed Answer:
Dear member,
Thanks for writing.
As you have mentioned that you husband has stored semen then there is no hurry. It is better that you get a proper withdrawal bleeding so that follicle growth will be good next cycle. Do please wait. And as your husband has already left you can take ovral instead of regesterone.
It's good that your laparoscopic findings are normal.success in IUI is 25-20% per cycle. So this cycle you may have success. Best of luck
Please write back after your period if you need any help during your IUI.
You can post a direct query to Dr Bhagyashree baliga.
I will be glad to answer .
Thanks
Dr Bhagyashree
