IUI success stories

[WTBmyBFP]

The injectables help you mature eggs/follicles in the event you do not properly mature them. For example, my body produced eggs, but did so so slowly that by the time I o'd, the lining was too thick and my luteal phase was too short.

The injections also come with the risk of multiples 10-20% chance, as well as ovarian hyper stimulation. (the trigger can also give hyper stimulation.) So if your body is working fine as far as the production of eggs, there is really no need for injections which typically cost from $500-$2500.

Congrats on your first IUI and

What are the injectables people refer to? I did my 1st iui this month and didn't take anything other than a trigger shot. I do ovulate on my own but I'm curious if these injectables would help me more and why my FS hasn't brought it up.

I'm doing a natural IUI too because I have no troubles OVing. I asked my doc and he said there was no need since I have a very natural, regular cycle and the trouble is with DH sperm

I ovulate on my own too but we're unexplained and we're using injectables to have more eggs to target. I'd love twins although it's risky, so I've no problem with the risk of multiples.
DH's sperm is perfect maybe that's why our doctor is doing IUI with injectables.

Im having injectables but i ov on my own. dh motility down so hopefully it will increase chance of one hitting one. would love to hear of any successs stories with low count/motility.

I have been "stalking" this website for about a week, but when I saw this thread I just had to register so I could post. I am a single woman, and have yet to find Mr. Right. I decided that my eggs were not getting any younger so I decided to become a Mommy with a "silent partner" (sperm donor). I am uncertain of all the stats, but it took me five time using IUI to finally become pregnant. I was on no meds. Before the fifth try I had an HSG indicating my tubes were open....8 days later I was inseminated, and that one took! I took a HPT at 12 dpiui and got a BFN. On 16 dpiui, AF came, or so I thought (it was the day she was due!), I only spotted for about 24 hrs. I waited an additional two days, and AF didn't show, so on 19 dpiui I tested again and got my BFP! The next day I had blood test to confirm; my Hcg level was over 800. When I got home I had started to bleed again....I spotted off and on for two weeks. No REAL pregnancy symptoms other than massively tender/sore BBs. Anyways...my daughter is now 5 years old, and I am trying once again with the same "silent partner". I have had one failed IUI, and am in my TWW after the second one. I know that IUIs do work; I just have to leave it up to God! He has blessed me with one EXTREMELY awesome kiddo; if that is all he wants me to have then so be it, but I really want my daughter to have a sibling if at all possible.

I have really rattled on here...SORRY!

Here's hoping we all get our BFPs soon!!!!!

1. How many IUI cycles did you have? 3
2. How many mature follicles did you have at your BFP cycle? 3
3. What were your sperm counts post wash and motility? 60 million, 93% motility
4. What medications were you using, if any? Clomid
5. How many dpiui did you get your BFP? 13
6. First couple Beta numbers? 15 dpiui 83, 17 dpiui 166
7. How many babies? 1 baby due in March!

I was ready to take a break if this round of IUI didn't work. The clomid really messed with me. I was actually very surprised when I got a postive pregnancy test. Keep your head up and keep thinking positive thoughts! Good luck to you!

I'm doing IVF in September they r transfering 2 frozen embryos im so excited but my friend is doing an iui and is having trouble. She doesn't belong to a forum and has asked me to post her situation.

She has been taking daily injections and after 4 days nothing happened. After 8 days one egg began to grow and is at a 6 so very small. She is worried it wont grow properly and she won't be able to get an iui. I don't know what to tell her bc i did IVF. Has anyone had this issue and gotten good results. Please share your story so I can give her some answers. Thank you.

Congrats to all of the ladies getting BFP!!! I hope you share your experience. My friend is coming over later today and so far no one has given an opinion on her situation so I thought maybe if I post here where ladies have gotten bfp you would have more to share!

 

[WTBmyBFP]

Hopefully her RE has her on the right dosage of injections. Is this her first IUI?

It is her first IUI and he upped her meds. She never ovulated be4 do you think that can have something to do with why her eggs wont grow???

[Trying 2 cope]

Angeluk I am so happy for u.
Can u please help me feel better. I've just got Af two days ago after second Iui and I feel worse as every hour passes. I'm convinced number 3 ( my last try) won't work either but then I saw ur last two posts and thought maybe I'm stupid? I just can't get my head around y it hasn't worked or y we didn't get pregnant before the iui's so have lost faith in the whole process. Have u been pregnant before? Did u feel like I do? Did u have faith number 3 would work? Sorry for the questions. U must be so happy.

@ Trying 2 cope I am so sorry I only saw this now!
This is my first pregnancy and I was pretty convinced that IUI wouldn't work just cause I was/am a lil scared of IVF and I just couldn't believe I'd be spared that. I know why we didn't get pregnant before IUI but we had to go to the fertility clinic and do all sorts of check ups to find out. It was due to my OH having too many anti bodies in his sperm. My results were all as should be. Did your doctors find out a reason for infertility in your case? I will try and check in here more often and check on your posts. Good luck hun!

I had my 1st iui last week b2b. I had 3 mature eggs, counts were 24 and next day 23 million post wash and I will probably do a test on Saturday! Fxed. Good luck to all you ladies if you are waiting for a BFP. And best wishes to those expecting!
