Ovarian Cysts And Cannot Ovulate. Advised Follistim Shots And IUI. Will The Treatment Help?

I have had 2 laproscopic surgeries for endometriosis and both were negative. I have had cysts on ovaries for 10 years. I just dont ovulate, but they say all else looks good. We tried chlomid for a solid year now with no luck, so we have now moved to a specialist. They want to do follistim shots and iui... Should i be nervous? They did see what could be adenomyosis on outside of uterus but didn't seemed worried about getting pregnant. I start shots in a few weeks then iui. I am so nervous bc we have had no luck with chlomid and all the women in my family miscarried or had a hard time, but I am the first to do shots and iui. My spouses sperm count is great, I just can't ovulate... Do I have an ok chain with these shots and iui? I just don't wanna lose hope

Hi,

Please do not worry. I do find in my routine practice that patients with ovulatory dysfunction become nervous and worried.
What you have been prescribed now is a routine procedure. If the laproscopy is ok and clomid does not help, the next step is injectables. It is a practice to start with lower doses of follistim and if still no ovulation, increase the dose. IUI is a simple every day procedure and you should do just fine. Also, ask your gynec if the cyst needs to be removed as this helps in ovulation.
So do not worry and stick to the treatment. You will conceive.

Keep the hope up and best of luck.

Thanks for the query, it was a pleasure to help you.
