Waiting for IUI #1 - Anyone else?

[dimps_]

Hi All :wave:
I haven't been on here in a while as I've been trying not to get caught up in my infertility, but a recent visit to the FS has seen me applying for funding for IUI (nhs)and now waiting for a date.

Anyone else in the same boat? Also I'm "unexplained" and I've heard mixed stories/opinions about IUI for us unexplained folk. Good or bad? What do you reckon?

And finally can I quiz anyone reading this on drugs? I was given 50mg of clomid back in June and produced 4 juicy follicles and a number of little ones, apparently this was too much so the doctor stopped it? Anyway with this in mind, what could I take for IUI? Doc mentioned injectables but surely if I responded too well to clomid then these will be even worse?

So the wait starts, Ive been given a rough estimate of three months which seems a lifetime away, and in the meantime I get the pleasure of yet another sti test...

Hi, I've had one clomid iui cycle and only produced 1 follie and bfn. I'm now proceeding with my 2nd one with femara and injections. It's my understanding that they have better control with injections. But I'm hoping for more follies!! I pay 100% for everything and the injections are expensive!!!

I'm hoping to do iui in Jan. I have an a 3 yr old but it's been hard ttc ever since. I think DH's count is low.

I think they also do Clomid with iui. Does your Oh have any issues?

Lanet, that's great that your hubby's count improved. May I ask if he was taking anything to increase it?

Yes! I had him on 12 vitamins for months. I really think that helped. He also had a high WBC issue for awhile. He was treated with antibiotics and retested and they were still high. Then he went on more antibiotics and we didn't retest for a year so I think that probably helped too. Either way I'm happy it's improved although I'm still not preggo:/
