    I just turned 41 at the end of December. Just had my first iui on the 14th. I have never been pregnant before. I had a follicle check on the 11th, had two follicles. I took 50mg Clomid and had HCG trigger shot on the 13th. I had cramping off and on for about 24 hours on the 14th, I'm pretty sure i was ovulating. The iui process was very simple, i did have a little cramping during the procedure.

    thanks for your info.
    I too look to be doing the 50 of Clomid and then the trigger shot as well.
    Just waiting for my cycle to come, which should be any day now.

    where are you at? I am in colo

    I am 29 and never been pregnant before. I did my first iui yesterday with same donor! 14342. His sperm count and motility looked good (17 mill and 85% motility)!

    My doctor said it can take a few rounds to get a pregnancy.

    Good luck and I would love to keep in touch: I'm danielle.stretzer@gmail.com. My wife and I are in San Diego, CA. :)

    good luck! I just had my first IUI yesterday. I just posted a new topic but I am having sharp pains in my left pelvic area coupled with what seems like gas pains. I hope it goes away!

    Does your doctor give you the sperm count? Mine did not.

    Yeah, my reproductive endocrinologist gave me the numbers!
