It seems I can't update my previous post, so I'll have to repost it with updates. Sorry about the two posts!

1. How many IUIs did you do?

Three total
#1 Chemical Pregnancy
#2 Preterm labor at 22 weeks 3 days possibly due to cervical incompetence. The baby didn't make it through delivery
#3 BFP - currently on 16dpiui

2. How many mature follicles did you have?

IUI #1: I think I had 3-4.
IUI #2: 2
IUI #3: 2

3. What were your sperm counts post-wash, and motility?

We use donor sperm. I don't remember exactly what they were. The first 2 IUIs were the same donor and the counts were good. This last one was a different donor and the counts were "excellent". I want to say 225mill, but I'm not sure if that's right. I wasn't paying all that much attention.

4. What medications were you using if any?

IUI #1: Follistim (50 - 75 IU), Ovidrel
IUI #2: Follistim (50 - 75 IU), Ovidrel
IUI #3: Gonal-F (75 - 112.5 IU), Dostinex (my prolactin was high), and Ovidrel

5. What day did you get your BFP?

IUI #1: BFP via beta on 14 dpiui - miscarriage same day
IUI #2: BFP via hpt 12 dpiui, positive beta 14 dpiui
IUI #3: BFP via hpt 11 dpiui and 13 dpiui, positive beta 14 dpiui

6. First couple Beta numbers?

IUI #2:
1st Beta: 152 (14 dpiui)
2nd Beta: 454 (16 dpiui)
3rd Beta: 8628 (23 dpiui)

IUI # 3:
1st Beta: 442 (14 dpiui)
2nd Beta: 965 (16 dpiui)
3rd Beta: 13,130 (23 dpiui)

7. How many babies?

IUI #2: One
IUI #3: Twins!

Very encouraging stories ladies.

Karib - can i ask you what is letrozole? Is it for immune issues. Did you ask for immune testing or did you dr. just give it to you?

I hope to be lucky like you ladies here.
