    I had 9 failed IUIs we almost gave up we decided to take a break from the fertility drugs and doctors and said “if it happens it happens” chances were low my husband had issues himself but we didn’t give up we got pregnant naturally don’t give up! If this doesn’t work keep trying keep doing whatever you can after 5 years we finally got pregnant! I’m 20 weeks today!!!

      Are you willing to share if IUI was suggested because there were possible infertility factors you were experiencing or if it was due to your partner? I will have my first IUI cycle later this month and I’m praying it will be successful the first round. My husband actually has male infertility issues (low sperm count, motility is lower than normal but everything is above what they would like to see for IUI. I have been trying to find anything on UA-cam regarding success rates for IUI 1st round where it’s the male factor and coming up short.

I’m about to start my second IUI - just thought it might help to let you know how another clinic works - I take a blood test on day 11 and 13 of my cycle to see how my LH surge is tracking and if I will ovulate naturally of need a trigger shot (I ovulate naturally) and On the day of my first blood test I also had a scan to see my follicles. Trusting an at home kit to confirm ovulation by for IUI doesn’t sound right to me…

    Would you recommend injectables or moving on to IVF if IUI with letrozole has been getting no response? I tried one unmedicated cycle and two medicated (2.5mg and 5mg for 5 days) but only ever had one lead follicle from an AFC of about 20. In fact the higher dose just made my lead follicle over-mature to 25mm on CD10 (trigger that day with IUI on CD11).

    I found out in the HSG test that my right tube is blocked. My fertility doctor said I don’t need to do a surgery to unblock it because the left side is open and that that side can still pick up the egg when you ovulate from the right side. I am now starting my first IUI cycle and I saw in the ultrasound that I will ovulate on the right side. The nurse said it could diminish my chances since the other side might not pick it up. Should I skip this month or is it ok to still do it? I don’t know what is the percentage that is diminished because of that.

I just did my first round of medicated IUI with letrozole. Now I’m on progesterone and estrogen suppositories. I actually ovulated and got my first ever opk on Tuesday/Wednesday.
