I had my first IUI on June 6th and i found out on Friday it was a BFN. I have PCOS and I'm currently taking metformin (1000mg a day). Last cycle I used clomid(started cd 3 for 5 days.) which I had to take twice because my follicles weren't big enough. This is my 3rd or 4th time taking clomid and I feel like it either took too long or my body wasnt responding the way it did the first time. I'm not ovulating on my own I had to trigger to O. And I only had one big enough follicle to work with. I was just wondering if anyone has had the same experience and maybe have some suggestions to what I could try next time, maybe other than clomid or in addition to?? Has anyone done injectables with iui?.... AF just started today so I want to be prepared with questions when I go in on Monday ;)

I went through 3 failed IUIs with clomid. They may look at increasing your clomid dosage, but I recommend still doing the IUIs. The saying I have heard is do three rounds of clomid if that doesn't work do three rounds of IUI. I have PCOS as well and had all the signs of ovulating on clomid but they just recently found out I have 3 golf ball size cyst. So please make sure they monitor you closely! Good luck I know it is very frustrating!

I had the same thing happen. After taking clomid for ten days and not having a great responce we swtiched the treatment for the next cycle. My RE had me take 5 days of clomid and then 5 days of injectables. I had a better responce but still didn't work. This past cycle I did just injectables and still a BFN. My RE recommends doing each treatment three times with IUI before moving on to the next-so 3 rounds clomid, 3 rounds clomid and injectables, and then 3 rounds with just injectables. If all those fail they recommend to move onto IVF BUT you can continue doing IUI's if you want. Good luck to you!

Thanks for the input... I was looking into injectables and a friend of mine who's actually a pro at IVF actually mentioned doing it. I guess I'll have to talk it over with my RE and come up with a better plan because I feel like I need more than what we are doing now. I would like to jump to IVF but I'm pretty sure they are going to make me try iui at least three times before I can :( we shall see... Wish me luck!! And thanks again!!!
