First IUI on tuesday!

joeys3453 · Mar 23rd, 2012, 08:00 AM

I am 34 and hd is 32. We have been trying for about 10 months and seems everything is good. Had hsg on last monday and it was clear and all other tests have been good. HD motility on SA was a little low. So i have to do the ovidrel inj on sunday and then go in on tuesday! I hope it goes well. Has anyone had any success with the IUI?

I just did an unmedicated IUI. The success rate for that is about the same as a normal cycle (20%) and injectables have a pretty good success rate. I did so much research on this and from what I've learned, it's really the luck of the draw. There have been people with terrible post wash counts that it worked for and people with awesome post wash counts who it didn't work for. They say that after 6 IUIs, 60-70% of people will be pregnant. Those are pretty good stats. I apologize for not having a success story myself, but just know that for unexplained infertility or slight MFI, IUIs are really good and have a decent success rate.

Good luck!

This was actually just my first one. We have been TTC for 18 months but just got started seeing the Dr in February. As soon as they found out about DHs sperm issues, they got me in right away for IUI because my chances without it were probably just 5-10% per month. Now it is 25% according to my Dr.

oh that is great news and gives you better odds. how have you been feeling now? did you do clomid or anything else?

I also got an HSG this month which can increase the chances of pregnancy for 3 months. Right now, I feel completely normal. I've been having some cramping from the HSG I think since ovulation though. My DH keeps saying that any symptom probably means I'm pregnant. Lol. I didn't do Clomid only because I ovulate good on my own. I know a lot of people do medicated cycles because it can induce super ovulation but my Dr thinks it's better to do it naturally at first. We haven't really talked about the future but I think if it doesn't happen after a few IUI cycles, he will go for medicine. But I hope we don't get that far. I'm hoping the HSG+IUI works for us.

oh nice! yeah i have heard that too so hopefully they are correct.

yeah my ovulations have been all over the place and my cycles also. i don't know about symptoms because i swear i have some of the symptoms and get a bfn!

but I hope some time they will prove me wrong! i have neard that with the medicine and iui there are good chances also. Right now i have two follicles on day 10 at 13 & 15. So i think that will be good for tuesday what about you?

From what I've read, anything over 15mm probably has a mature egg in it. For medicated if you are doing trigger, they like to have it 17-19mm before the trigger and for unmedicated, they like it to be over 20mm. I'd say it should definitely get bigger before Tuesday so I'd say you're probably good to go. Hopefully it does result in a BFP for you.

yeah i heard that. I am doing the ovidrel inj on sunday night and then the iui on tuesday. so hopefully that gives the follicle plenty of time and hopefully it works! when are you doing your other one?

hopingforit · Mar 23rd, 2012, 12:12 PM

My other IUI? If I don't get pregnant this month, I will be doing it sometime next month. With natural IUI, they only do 1 per cycle.
