Don't worry if you don't get pregnant in the first 3 IUIs.

I had heard that you can forget it after that, but it's just not true. It took me 5 times to get pregnant and I got pregnant on my 6th IUI too. My secret is injectables, clomid has a rep for making a hostile atmosphere in the uterus, my 1st 3 IUIs were with Clomid and I also did acupuncture once a week. Don't be so quick to believe the hype and think you need to go IVF. I'm not young, I have waning fertility etc. but I would, and was planning to do 6 IUIs before trying something else.

It's nice to have some encouraging words. I am going in for IUI #3 next week and am doing this one natural with just a trigger shot. If this one doesn't work we will move on to injectables. I have heard the average numbe rof tries is 4-6 so we plan at least 6 tries before we start looking into anything else :)

And thanks Melissa39, we are trying to stay stress free and just go with the flow so we don't let it completely take over our lives.
1st was unmedicated with only 1 follicle.
2nd wasn't timed perfectly due to a stupid snow storm.
after 3rd we did a hsg tube scan (eek! wasn't as bad as i hyped myself up to think and all was clear!) we also switched donors at this point
4th - i was convinced i was pregnant, tired, very nauseous, headache with 3 day late AF but no. i think it was a chemical but can't really confirm that
so i'm keeping the faith, going for number 5(ish) and not stressing it, when we are meant to get pregnant we will right? all we can do is take the best care of our selfs and keep trying. my mom always says all good things come to those who wait ;)
as a side note i have a friend who got pregnant on her 8th, yes 8th IUI and a friend of a friend who did on try #6 so take that 3 times is all you should try lies
How are things going for you?
Hopeful,
I had my IUi on Saturday 4/5 so I am in my 2WW and so far i have no symptoms, just a little bloating here and there. How are you doing?
NyMamas,
i agree that it will happen when it's meant to be. I am hopeful that it'll be meant to be sooner than later for all of us. When do you go in for your next IUI?
Baby dust to all!

Things seem to be going well. I had some heartbeat-like feelings/twinges in my uterus from days 2-4 after my IUI (which is too early) so I have no idea what that was about. I feel good about this time though, and I'll test on Saturday. Fingers crossed for both of us!! Please keep me updated! I know how long the 2ww can be, but I'm here with ya to keep you company!
What day after IUI are you? Were you using clomid or injections?
