would love to hear IUI success stories:)

[nik25]

The hubby and I have been ttc for almost 3 years with no bfp ever;( I was on clomid for 4 months staight, then took two months off, and last month we did our first IUI w/ 50 mg clomid. Unfortunatley it was bfn;( but I'm very opptimistic this month. I'm changing my attitude! My RE gave me 100 mg. clomid this month and will do our 2nd IUI in a few weeks! I was curious if the success rate is better on the second try or not and will I have a better shot since they doubled my clomid? I'm curious if any of you had multiples w/ clomid and IUI. Thanks in advance

Hi there,

Good luck with the iui!
I had my first attempt on Friday after 6 days of injections with gonal f.
I wondered if anyone else had success with this regime 1st time? Im in the 2ww now so would be good to keep in touch

We conceived after nearly 3 years (and 9 failed clomid cycles) - on second IUI with injectables. 37+3 now just waiting for baby to arrive. Good luck to all.

Clomid and IUI have a success rate the same as a natural cycle, 20%. Injectables have a slightly higher success rate, but also have a higher likelihood of multiples.

I did clomid and IUI for my son when I was 24. I had success with my 4th round. I have recently tried another three rounds of IUI with no success, but I am also 35 now.

Good luck. I hope it works for you.

Im getting my first IUI monday, and i have 2 follies!
Bump! Just watching for now

For our second we needed iui but after researching I declined clomid and went with the injectables as i read they have a slightly better sucess rate and less side effects. We're all different though and clomid + iui will hopefully work for you.
We got a bfp on first iui. We're hoping to have a third baby and will try again with iui + injectables after I have a lap and dye for ?endometriosis.

Good luck

Hi - I was TTC for 15 months. We did IUI the 1st time without medication. The 2nd IUI was with 50 mg of clomid and it worked. I had 3 ripe follicles. I also used a progesterone suppository twice a day starting the day after the IUI (until 10 weeks). At my 7 weeks 2 day scan we found out there are two! I am 12 weeks now!

We were in the unexplained infertility category.

There are two treatment risks associated with clomid and I got both! This is from a website about clomid:

"Clomid has two clearly recognized treatment risks; multiple pregnancy and ovarian cyst formation. Approximately 8% of Clomid conceptions are multiple - twins or more. This may occur even on the lowest dose of Clomid. Approximately 10% of women who are treated with Clomid will develop an ovarian cyst."

Along with twins I got a large cyst on my right ovary. Its about the size of a baseball. It usually has no pain at all, but twice got so bad I had to go to the ER. Luckily it doesn't harm the babies. I was surprised by the cyst because I took clomid one cycle and at the lowest dose.

So, clomid and IUI did work for me! Just be ready for the news that there is more than one!!
