I've had four unsuccessful IUIs - but I know of a lot of other folks who have had success with them. They aren't bad (although I was a bit emotional for the first one - but it unfortunately felt routine by the second one)

I was on Clomid - I only needed the trigger shot for ovulation one out of the four times, and I was on progesterone suppositories for two weeks after IUI. My next step is a laparoscopy and depending on the results my Dr will either recommend 3 more IUIs before IVF, or straight to IVF.

Good Luck!

I think success rate is anywhere from 15 - 20%. That's why they usually do multiple IUIs. Typically, but not always, you might do 3 IUIs with clomid or femera and then go onto IVF or do another 3 IUIs with injections. We did 2 IUIs, but we had severe male factor, so went right to IVF. Good luck!

First let me say how sorry I am about your mc's. This must be very hard for you.

I've had 3 unsuccessful IUIs w/injectibles. The process is more emotionally daunting then anything. The IUI itself is very fast and simple. Easier then a pap. I have def read about successful IUI stories here. Good luck to you!! Let me know if you have any questions.

I had my first IUI with injectables on Nov. 5 and I am now pregnant. I did seven days of Follistim and did a trigger shot on the 7th day. My numbers are really high so they are even thinking multiples! Good luck!! Sending lots of baby dust your way*********

I recently got pregnant with my 2nd IUI. Like Sparks, I took Follistim (cycle days 3 thru 13, if I remember correctly). My ultrasound showed that I had 4 eggs between 19 and 21 at that point, so I did a trigger shot on the 14th day and IUIs on the 15th and 16th days. My hCG level is a little on the low side so I'm a little nervous about miscarrying, but I doubt that I'm having multiples.

I've heard of lots of other ladies who've had success w/IUIs. It's a pretty simple process. Good luck to you if you decide to go that route!

I have been diagnosed with unexplained infertility and am headed for IUI. Due to a heart condition i will not be allowed to take any stimulating drugs. When you do 2 UIUs in the same cycle like Babs5 do they have to sperm wash 2 donations or if the sperm count is high enough can they use the same batch? I'm just wondering because it costs us $750 for every sperm wash.

We did 2 IUIs which both failed so we went to IVF. It's a very "sterile" experience...although my DH was in the room when they did the AI and we held hands and cried. It was still special...good luck to you!

i did 3 iui's with clomid did not work..i just did the 3rd iui with injections nov.24,..good luck to you, baby dust for everyone.

I had six unsuccessful IUIs. Each time, the RE increased or changed my meds, but it didn't help. My husband believes "You will never know if you don't try" which is why we tried so many. Good luck!!
