I did my 1st three IUI's with just Clomid with no success. I too ovulate just fine and have always had a regular cycle on my own. I do have mild endometriosis, but the real problem lies with my husband he has a high number of abnormal sperm. I am now on to injectables. Looking back I wish we would have never wasted the time with Clomid in the 1st place. It seems that most couples with sperm issues reguire more agressive treatment. Last month we did the IUI with 2 vials of Menopur our next treatment cycle will be in November and our RE is increasing me to 3 vials so I produce more follicles. Last month I only produced 3 mature follicles with the Menopur. On Clomid it was just 2 each time. If you have the money from my experience I would recommend you go with the injectables.

I'm in the same situation, my RE wants me to try the IUI without medication first since I'm so regular. We're using donor sperm as my husband has azoospermia. We had our first IUI in Sept, it didn't work. Next one is in a week. If this one doesn't take I may ask my RE to add the meds because I don't have money to waste.

I did 2 IUIs. First with clomid and second with femera. We have male factor infertility, but I am 38, almost 39. My RE said we could go to injectibles, but if we are paying all that money for drugs, we should move to IVF with ICSI where we have a higher chance of success. Good luck!

We did 3 IUI's w/o meds and the last one w/ Femara (because we begged for it). I ovulate on my own as well. We had a male factor that we were never told about until right before our 4th IUI. He has low motility. We have a new RE now and he's wanting to do a strict morphology test so make sure that the little guys will even make it doing IUI's after my DH's surgery. He said that IUI's weren't good for low motility and low numbers but.. he said sometimes it works. I wished we would have known more before doing the IUI's. I wish you all the best! Good luck!!!!

We did 2 IUIs without meds without success. My DH has low counts and motility so his Dr. told us to go straight to IFV w/ICIS and we got PG with our first cycle. Good Luck

I did IUI with Clomid. The dr's said it would be useless to continue down the IUI road for various reasons so we moved on to IVF.

I have done two IUI with only clomid...no injectibles. our inferitlity problem is due to sperm as well....the clomid is just to help me be extra fertile.

I just wanted to be a different side to this story. I have PCOS and do not ovulate at all on my own. We did two IUI's, with Clomid only, and the 2nd one was a success. So it can happen! Good luck!

i have done it (became preg but m/c'd) and will be starting again in about 2 weeks

I too am using Femara and wondering why RE isnt being more aggresive. I am sure I am not doing IVF and wonder how many IUI's I can handle emotionally and how many are covered by insurance.

My friend who did IUI (and now has a beautiful baby) told me that the shot basicly gives you that LH surge that you get when you ovulate. I ovulate irregularly but I do ovulate and they still have me doing the shot. I am doing my first IUI on Wednesday. I am going to the ovidrel shot tonight and I was on clomid this cycle. Is this your first IUI? I would ask your doctor why they aren't using injectables. Also, I'm not sure about your insurance but mine covered the shot.

I'm so confused about the Clomid thing, I ovulate on my own, and regular OB gave me
Clomid which has now caused me to be over 64 days without period and not pregnancy, we now see an RE that told me if I ovulate on my own I don't need Clomid, i'll be starting my first IUI cycle within the next month and we are using injectables with a cost of $2000.00 i don't see us doing more than one, in less my parents pay for one. Good luck to all.

I ovulate on my own but RE still recommended injections. I think the injections increase the amount of follicles produced to better your chances. We were going to do IUI w/OB and would have done it w/o injections but when we went to RE he recommended IUI w/injections. Good luck!

I know several women who have done 'natural IUIs' meaning no drugs whatsoever.

I did a Clomid IUI but am now moving on to injectable IUIs.

I am just about at the end of my 2ww from my second round of IUI on Tamoxifin only -- no injectibles. So, we'll see.
