Vials for IUI

I wanted to see how many vials do you typically need for an IUI? My doctor is telling us we can use one or two? Anyone have any experiences they can share. Will one vial be enough for a standard IUI?
Thank you!

From what I have read, it is usually one vial per IUI - but some doctors like to do a back-to-back IUI, in which case you would use one vial and then another one on the following day. Hope this helps :)
I have done several IUIs with no medication with my husband but have not been successful. I hope to continue to go without any medication and use a donor if possible. Our doctor only does one IUI so we have the choice of using one vial at that time or two. I think we will start slowly with one. I have conceived naturally twice and we have one child and lost one pregnancy.
I may want to try injectible medication after a few tries. Did you have any side effects? How many follicles did you make?

Thanks for the info. If you don't mind me asking why did you use the medication? To increase your odds or because you needed the assistance? I am weighing my options. I ovulate like clockwork but am not sure if I want to add medication to something that seems to already work. I figured adding the donor sperm would be what I need to get pregnant but am considering all my options. Your feedback is really appreciated.
Just so you know...I was 36 years old and gave birth to a beautiful little girl 5 1/2 months ago.
Good luck!

Good luck and KUP!
Did you use fertility drugs or go natural? My doctor does only one IUI and said that doing IUI's back to back is a way for fertility doctors to make more money but there are no stats to show it increases your chances. It is all so confusing!
