  I switched after 2 failed IUIs and then with the new donor, it worked on the first time.
  
  So I would switch if the first 2 or 3 IUIs don't work.
  
  I hope this helps!

  I haven't started yet, hopefully in May but I agree with Dolphin. If it doesn't work after 1st two with same donor, I am switching. I am also using post of others to help narrow initial options. If there are several post from different people using same donor without success after 2-3 tries, he comes off my list. A donor with several successes on 1st try gets pushed up on the list.

  The first time I did 3 w same donor. Then gave next do or one shot. Third donor was the charm. I did miscarry but now only one or two shots per donor. Also sticking with those in their twenties. My first two donors were in their thirties.

  Thanks for the input. I was thinking 3 tries seemed like the max. I do have my own issues that may be the problem and not the donor though (PCOS, diminished ovarian reserve). Fingers crossed I don't have to try a 3rd time! My OB wants me to work with an RE after 3 tries anyway.
  
  Sorry to hear you had a miscarriage Sweettheartt. Picking donors in their twenties is a good idea.
