Hi all! This thread is great - so inspiring!

I am just curious. For question #1, are you stating how many actual inseminations for your successful cycle or are you telling how many IUI cycles it took to get ??

HERE'S HOPING I CAN POST HERE IN ABOUT 20 DAYS!

Thanks!

Success rates on this thread.

Hi all,
Out of curiosity, I went through all the posts on this thread from the very beginning to the one right above this one and counted, counted, counted... What I was looking for was which IUI round worked for you girls. I also counted miscarriages I tried to be as accurate as possible in my counts!

Here's the results (out of 123 women):
IUI#1: 61
IUI#2: 28
IUI#3: 25
IUI#4: 9
IUI#5 or more: 15

total: 12


I find it interesting that a great majority of women succeeded with the first IUI!

Thank you for this thread!

I am just about to go through my first IUI and it's great to hear about so many positive experiences!

Hopefully I'll get to post news of my own here soon...

First, congrats to all the ladies who have gotten their BFP's and good luck to all those trying.
I am still in shock that I actually have something to post here.

1. How many IUIs did you do? 4

2. How many mature follicles did you have? 1 - don't know the size as I was unmedicated & unmonitored this cycle

3. What were your sperm counts post-wash, and motility? 13 million, 100% motility, 60% morphology

4. What medications were you using if any? none*

5. What day did you get your BFP? 13dpiui - very faint, 14dpiui - strong FRER & positive digital

6. First couple Beta numbers? 224 (14dpIUI)

7. How many babies? assuming just one but feeling very grateful and blessed

* As per the recommendation of my new RE, I did add a baby aspirin everyday with my prenatal vitamin.

1. How many IUIs did you do? 4

2. How many mature follicles did you have? Not sure as I was medicated but unmonitored due to being on vacation and surging early.

3. What were your sperm counts post-wash, and motility? Not sure- no IUI just

4. What medications were you using if any? Femara, Follistim 300

5. What day did you get your BFP? Didn't test until I was a day late at 15 dpo

6. First couple Beta numbers? 46 (15dpo) 98 (17dpo) 233 (19dpo) 543 (21dpo) 1201 (23dpo) 2525 (25dpo)

7. How many babies? Early U/S due to low numbers and high progesterone showed one definite sac and possibly a second a couple days behind. Another U/S in a week to see if they are progressing.

I am still very wary about posting here with my low numbers but they continue to double and now we have seen the sac.... possibly two. I am trying to hold out hope until I see a beating heart!

This thread is awesome. It is SO inspiring to see all the BFP on here. Congrats to everyone This cycle was supposed to be our first IUI but work got in the way. Neither DH nor I were able to get off of work so we the "natural way". I had 3 follies so hoping one of them was the one

3 more days until I can hopefully post something good on here

Hi gopraj...sorry to hear that your first IUI didn't work. That must be so frustrating. I am going for my first IUI later this month. I sure hope it does the trick I wish us both luck in our next cycle. I've got my for both of us.

Update: Second ultrasound showed that both gestational sacs had continued to progress but only 1 showed a baby with a heartbeat of 126 BPM . They think I may be off on my dates by almost a week.
