Any advice on the procedure? I am in the 2ww right now but the post coitial showed a ton of sperm just none of them moving. (I am praying DH had a bad day because his SA 4 months before was good)So I dont have much faith in our first month of treatment working. (50 mg of clomid plus HCG shot and timed intercourse)

Anyways, any advice anyone has on IUI percentage of it working, chance of mulitples, ect. let me know!

Thanks!

Here is what I know. Increase in multiples is no more than on Clomid with out IUI. Percent working varies person to person depending on the problem. I've heard as high as 50% but avg is 25%.
Post Coital tests aren't very reliable. Most drs don't use them any more but IUI can help if you have hostile cervical mucus because the swimmies are going in past the death door. More get in and have a chance.

Good Luck!
If you had
