Anyone conceived with IUI?

[LaineB]

If you have conceived with IUI, how many cycles did it take for success???

Hi Laine.
I'm pretty sure we've chatted before.

I did IUI with my first son. We had unexplained infertility. It took 4 cycles to get a bfp.

I'm now doing IUI again. I'm in the 2ww with the first cycle. I'm only 6dpiui, but I have a feeling the IUI was too early and the cycle is a bust. At least I'll know for next time.

I figured it's pretty obvious that sex isn't getting me pregnant, so I may as well try IUI again. I was offered femara (similar to clomid) and sex, but I don't have a problem with ovulation, so I didn't see how this would help us.

Are you going to do IUI?

I'm struggling with the decision really badly! It's such a big step for me and I keep thinking.... Maybe next month :/ I really don't think it will happen on our own though! It's been too long. IUI is so expensive per cycle! I just wish I knew it would work the first time! I'm in Louisiana and it's going to be $1500 per cycle
And I have to get an hsg done that will be $500. Im going to schedule it for sept 27 and maybe just BD until dec.

I hope I can congratulate you on a bfp really soon!

Likewise.

I hope you come up with the money to try it, if that's what you want.

There is also an Assisted Reproduction forum here. You'll find lots of helpful into there.

Good luck!!!! I can't imagine how the excitement and suspense must be driving you crazy! Do they normally do a blood test after a certain # of days past dpo?
