IUI Sperm Donor

Hello,

My husband and I have recently found out that due to his Klinefelters (47,xxy) diagnosis we will have to do IUI using donor sperm. I have no issues that are known at this time-- all of my tests came back clear.

I am just wondering if there's anyone out that has used this? How many tries did it take you to get pregnant? What should I expect from the proccess? Meds? Trigger shot?

Any advice is appreciated!! All of this has been very confusing/ draining!

    Most ladies on this board are onto IVF vs the IUIs. If you don't end up finding your answer here, you may want to check out Trouble TTC. Not sure who is left, but they did have a MFI group there that might be helpful.
    Good luck!

    Aren't there a lot of women on this board who have been through multiple IUIs and would be able to explain the process?

    @maddie2889‌ Success stories are definitely out there! I'd recommend the Third Party Reproduction board. Good luck to you, I hope it takes one IUI.

    I have done IUIs in the past without luck.  HOwever, they did give me medication to increase my ovary production.  I have a friend who used donor sperm for her IUI.  For her first round, she did it naturally.  And for her second round, she used clomid.

    A lot will depend upon your age and insurance. Good luck.

    We had to put first IUI on hold due to a cyst on my right ovary-- very disappointed. I am 26 years old with decent state insurance as my husband is a teacher.
