Years of trying...what fertility drugs ended up working to get a bfp?

Hi...this is my first post here even though I've been lurking for a while. Some background... my DH and I have been trying for 2 years. We had a mc 10 months ago. Since then we began iui 3 rounds so far...all with BFN.  First 2 iui's were with clomid only and the last one was with clomid and menopour (75). We have unexplained infertility...husband had plenty of sperm and I have plenty of eggs.  So for those of you that have been trying for years what was the drug combination/dosage that actually got you a BFP? Thank you for any responses!

    IVF is what worked for me... I did 7 IUIs with either clomid, femara, trigger shot etc. nothing worked.  Best of luck to you! 
    TTC 4 years. 7 failed IUI's with either Clomid, Femara and/or Trigger Shots. Started IVF journey in February 2017. Polyps removed in May. 1st IVF Transfer September 26th. BFP. Expected due date 6/14/18. Baby boy born 5/25/18 at 6 lb 9 oz. My bundle of joy.

    My husband and I tried for 7 years. We did 5 IUIs before moving onto ivf, which worked for us though we did multiple rounds. My issue is pcos and a displaced implantation window. Best of luck.

    IVF was our only option since our fertility was caused by tube damage.

    We did 3 IUI cycles (with varying medications and dosages) and 2 IVF cycles and out of everything 1 IVF cycle worked. Best of luck if you go that route!
