Hi ladies,
As we get closer to our first IUI with medication cycle in about a week, my nerves are getting shaky along with DH starting to realize this is actually happening.
We've saved up for this for so long and right now only have enough for 2 trys. But we keep praying that number 1 will be the one that works. After our injection class today DH said "wow only a 25% chance with all IUI's" I could see on his face that this number was not only shocking but disappointing for him. I wish there was a daddy bump area so he could get support from others experiencing the same thing. Since all his buddies/cousins/brother don't seem to have any sort of IF issues.
Thanks so much in advance
Hope you all are having uneventful bump time.

I didn't get my BFP with IUI#1, but IUI#2 did the trick for me. Goodluck, and remind your husband that in a "normally" fertile couple there is only have a 25% chance of success every month.

Baby N conceived after 1 miscarriage and more than 2 years of TTC. Diagnosis was low sperm count. We found success after 3 months of anastrozole to increase DH's testosterone and one IUI.

I was fortunate to get pregnant with my first IUI. Sperm count was around 42 million. I took clomid and had an Ovidrel trigger.
Good luck to you!
