This is the next step that my Dr. wants us to look into. I wanted to know how many of you were successful with an IUI and how many times did you have an IUI before your BFP. TIA
My whole history is in my bio if you want to see. My dr wanted me to do IUI and I hesitated for about 6 months because I was scared of the meds, appts, etc. I tried acupuncture for a while but that didn't do it for me so we did our first IUI in May (BFN)... did a second IUI in June and got my BFP! We did IUI with injectibles and it wasn't bad at all. Good luck!
Dx: PCOS/Amenorrhea/Anovulatory/lining problems.
Clomid = BFN's. Lots of cancelled cycles due to thin lining or cysts.
IUI#1= Follistim, estrace and endometrin = BFN
IUI#2= Repronex, follistim, viagra suppositories and endometrin= BFN.
IUI#3= Repronex, follistim, viagra suppositories, femtrace and endometrin= BFP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Isabella born in June via C-section!!!!! She is so incredible!
Went back to RE to TTC#2 and got a WONDERFUL surprise!! Baby #2 on their way!!
My Beautiful son Liam born Feb, 2011!!
We got our BFP on our first IUI with injectibles. Like some pp, we tried femara (similar to clomid) first, but it didn't make my follies grow enough to ovulate. We used gonal f and repronex, which did the trick! The injectibles weren't too bad, and I would do it all again in a heartbeat. Good luck!
We did our first IUI with clomid in March 08 and got a BFP. Unfortunately we lost that baby due to genetic problems and my blood clotting disorders (which we did not know about at the time). We started trying again with clomid and IUI in July, and that was a chemical pregnancy. In August we did clomid and IUI again, and that resulted in our current pregnancy. So for us, IUI with clomid gets me pregnant, we unfortunately had two losses before our current pregnancy. But the IUI itsself wasn't bad at all. That was the easiest part! I was only on clomid, so my drugs weren't too bad. I was definitely overwhelmed and scared of doing IUI at first, but I am so glad we moved forward with it.
Re: IUI success come in.

(vanished twin ~7 weeks)
IUI on it's own does not really increase chances that much... i'm assuming you will be taking clomid or another drug?
I got pg on the first cycle of clomid/met/IUI/trigger with DS. This pregnancy was the 2nd cycle- all with the same protocol. I have PCOS.
My full success story for DS is at the end of my bio.
Good luck!
My 1st IUI with injectables resulted in our BFP
My IUI on clomid did nothing, though.
We did a Clomid/IUI cycle, worked first time. The clomid was because I wasn't O'ing and the IUI was to give us a little push to increase our chances.
Good luck!
IUI #1 with Clomid+Repronex and trigger =BFN
IUI #2 with IM Repronex injections and trigger = BFP.

GL!!
We were successful the 1st round. I didn't ovulate on my own and DH had some morphology issues. We did the clomid/metformin/trigger. Good luck!
