Meds??

Hi I will be doing my very first IUI in probably about a week. My doctor did not put me on any meds to increase my chances since I seem to be ovulating fine. The more I read, it seems like lots of people start on meds right away. Anyone else NOT doing meds?

I only did a trigger shot. In my TWW for my second IUI. Each time I only had one dominant follicle. Part of me wishes I would have used Clomid to increase the number of follicles. I will know in a week if this is successful.

Good luck

I ovulate fine and only had oral meds to stimulate and a trigger shot my first three tries. Just finished try #4 with oral and injectable ovulation meds and I still didn't have success despite presenting 2 or more follicles on each of my cycles. I'm getting ready to switch to all injectable for my next cycle. I know they say it increases the chance for multiples, but this has been a long ride and I'm ready to get off this roller coaster and finally be a mom! Good luck with your IUI.

I used no meds nothing more than peeing on an OPK. I was almost 43 when I got pregnant on my 1st try. My son is 21 months old. Good luck, it can happen. (Oh and all of his 1/2 siblings came the same way 1 or 2 IUI no meds.)

Thanks for the feedback. I read these boards and get nervous that I should be doing more. I also read about "follicles." My doctor has not talked anything about that. I hope I did not choose a doctor that is not aggressive enough? So many things to consider. I pray I am lucky enough for it to work on the first try!! Best wishes to all of you.
