Hi I know they say the average number of attempts before success is 3-4 IUI's.

I am just curious how many attempts did it take for "YOU" to get your BFP??

    We were successful on try # 2 just recently. 150mg of clomid (50mg the 1st try) and the trigger shot (no trigger shot on the 1st try). I truly believe the trigger shot is what did it because the clomid didn't really do its job. I only produced 1 follicle the 1st try and 2 the 2nd try but only 1 was of mature size.


    Good luck to you!!

    I was successful on my first attempt in January. I was 40 years old and the only thing I did was use 50mg of clomid.

    I was not as lucky as RStrasburg and Trace D. It took me 8 failed IUI's and one attempt with IVF, but now I am 33 wks pregnant with my first child and love every single thing about being pregnant. It is truly a blessing, so don't give up even if it takes you longer than others. I thank God everyday that I did not give up because I was so close, but I would have missed out.
    Good luck to you if you ever need anything don't hesitate to ask!!!

    Thanks for the encouragement. It is always nice to hear from people who it has work for. We have had 4 failed donor IUI and are going for #5 with a new donor this cycle. I just keep hoping this will be the lucky cycle. Congrats to all you lucky ladies who got you BFP I hope to join the group next month :)

    After 78 months of TTC using various failed methods, we did two IUIs with 50 mg of Clomid and the Ovidrel trigger...on the 2nd try, we finally got pregnant. I am now 17 1/2 weeks pregnant with twins, and it looks like we're having a boy & a girl from the last ultrasound! DEFINITELY worth the wait!!!

    Omesaara and Karen congrats to you guys !

    I'm looking forward to my IUI in December/January it seems so far away, but I have some weight to lose first. It's a struggle. I would love to have boy/girl twins !

    Again, Congrats.

    Hey Omesaara and badovinatzn- congrats, first of all - and secondly, how many hours after your trigger shot did you get inseminated? I go for my ultrasound on sunday and will prob take the shot at night. I know all dr's are different - i think mine says 36 hours...so i'm curious for you two.

    I am curious how many hours after trigger everyone did their IUI's?? My RE did my 37.5 hrs after I triggered and according to the sono I had not O'ed yet, but they said the follie looked faded on the screen so it was about to rupture...who knows! This is so frustrating :( My beta is 7/30

    I have already done IVF and 2 FET cycles with DH sperm and I'm now on my 3rd IUI with DS, but this is my first medicated cycle with clomid and the ovidrel trigger. Also used a different donor this time so I'm really hoping these were the changes we need to finally get a BFP. Congrats to everyone who has got a BFP!

    I did my shot at 9:30 pm on a Monday then went in Wednesday morning and was inseminated at 9:30, so exactly 36 hours later.

    I have done 3 IUIs (the first 2 with 50 mg clomid/trigger shot) and the 3rd with 100 mg clomid/trigger shot. I had all 3 IUIs 36 hours after the trigger shot. I am still in the 2ww with the 3rd IUI. I am 32 years old and no fertility issues. My husband has azoospermia (lacks the cells that produce sperm).

    I'm 35 with no problems with fertility. My husband has azoospermia too. I did my first Ovidrel shot this sunday at 8pm and had my second IUI this morning at 8am. I also took femara. I start that wonderful 2ww today with a few others, i see. Good luck to all of us...
