IUI Opinion

jenaerb · May 2013

We are moving to IUI this month. Today is CD1. I have very regular cycles and O day 14-16, with a pretty consistent 14 LP.

Would you recommend doing a unmedicated IUI or medicated with clomid, monitored, 25 mg for 5 days + trigger? Or something else? These seemed to be the 2 options that I was given, although I'm willing to advocate for another option as well.

Or am I not going the right direction with IUI as our next step?

I attempted to do a couple natural (unmedicated) cycles, because I too O regularlly. We finally agreed to Clomid to increase our chances. I'd say its up to you, as well as your DH.

I'd also consider cost. Do you have coverage or are you OOP?

Personally, we went right to the meds with our first IUI (our current cycle). We are fortunate enough to have excellent insurance which covers a lot of the cost, so we figured why not. Anything to improve our chances! Good luck in coming to a decision that you feel comfortable with!

It's going to depend on how aggressive you can and want to be. It doesn't seem like they would be a waste of time in your case.

In my case, we chose to be as aggressive as we could and I liked having my cycle controlled by meds and triggers for timing things out.

I have coverage up to a $15,000 lifetime maximum, so I figured might as well as be aggressive.

Thanks for your opinions!

I asked my RE about unmedicated IUIs when we were going over all the different options and success rates, and he said they generally don't do them because they don't find the success rates to be any more than a TI cycle.

We moved straight into medicated IUI when we started treatment. I did have one unmedicated IUI, thrown in last minute during a testing cycle. I am currently doing 50mg Clomid + trigger + IUI.
