Thoughts on B2B IUI.....
The first two I only did one IUI with trigger. Today after my follie check (I have two, potentially 3 mature - but one on my possibly blocked side) my Dr mentioned we could do back to back if I wanted to.
He didn't really seem like it would increase the odds? We have no MFI and I am unexplained.......but my insurance covers 6 lifetime IUI's so I said I only wanted to do one.
Now I am not sure, on one hand I don't want to skip it if it was going to dramatically increase my odds but if it doesn't I don't want to "waste" one IUI by doing back to back.
Any thoughts would be appreciated!

Re: Thoughts on B2B IUI.....
This may be a stupid question but what do you mean by back-to-back IUI??

Interesting. I never knew that was an option. I'm going in for my blood work and U/S Monday, then doing a trigger shot and IUI sometime next week.

On my 5th IUI we did B2B. My insurance paid for it though, so I didn't have to consider that.
I did not get pregnant that cycle and both of DH's samples were not great at all.

My RE doesn't push them bc the literature indicates no increased pg rates, as a PP said above.
That said, when we did our last ditch IUI#3 (bc we didn't think we were going to do IVF), we opted for B2B just in case it would help our chances. DH's numbers were really good both times. I think in our case, we missed late, I think I Od long enough before the first one that both were a waste.
