My husband's sample # was really high. It could have been the surgery, the higher dose of meds, the good sample number, or maybe just pure luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-successful-iui-how-many-iuis-did-it-take#post-1770436 Sun, 20 Jul 2014 20:34:56 +0000 PurplePumps 1770436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3 unsuccessful and moving on to IVF. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-successful-iui-how-many-iuis-did-it-take#post-1770406 Sun, 20 Jul 2014 20:18:00 +0000 FaithFertility 1770406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1 st and second IUI were successful, both ended in CP but that was a seperate issue I found out </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-successful-iui-how-many-iuis-did-it-take#post-1770288 Sun, 20 Jul 2014 18:39:44 +0000 LindsayInNY 1770288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bumping for more votes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-successful-iui-how-many-iuis-did-it-take#post-1765576 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 17:27:17 +0000 BSB 1765576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Updating- 5th IUI did not work.

It will either slowly fade (and hopefully come back!) or get stronger. If you wait until 10, it's a toss up as to whether it's the trigger or you really have a BFP. You'd need to continue testing for a few more days to see if it sticks around. </p> <p>When I got my sticky pregnancy I started testing at 5DPO. At first they looked like normal positives and then at 8 and 9 DPO I was getting positives, but only outside the 10 minute window. I wasn't sure if it was still the trigger or not. Then at 10DPO I got a true positive within the window. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-successful-iui-how-many-iuis-did-it-take#post-1745734 Tue, 08 Jul 2014 14:16:50 +0000 BSB 1745734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ShootingStar: Thanks! :heart: You know I've never tested out the trigger before. I could see where it's at. It's 5 DPO. Though if it's positive, it might make me think that i'm really pregnant. I usually like to wait til after 10 DPO to test. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-successful-iui-how-many-iuis-did-it-take#post-1745718 Tue, 08 Jul 2014 14:12:33 +0000 ShootingStar 1745718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: I've got all my fingers and toes crossed for you!

Makes sense. I just figured IUI with injectables would be the next step if Clomid/Femara and IUI didn't work. But, I realize it can cause multiples, which isn't always a good thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-successful-iui-how-many-iuis-did-it-take#post-1449202 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 16:36:37 +0000 Shutterbug 1449202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CatchAFallingStar: normally injectibles are reserved for low responders (or people who are expected to be low responders) because if you already ovulate normally on your own it can give you too many mature follicles.</p> <p>ETA: to answer the original post, I had 4 unsuccessful IUIs before I moved on to IVF. I think normally they don't suggest more than 3-4. However, a friend of a friend ended up doing 8 (!) because she and her wife were using donor sperm, so they knew it wasn't a male factor issue, and their insurance wouldn't cover IVF, so they just kept going with IUIs. She did injectibles and ended up with twins. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-successful-iui-how-many-iuis-did-it-take#post-1449187 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 16:32:04 +0000 BSB 1449187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CatchAFallingStar: Other than the trigger shot? Nope. My bloodwork and ultrasounds seemed normal, so I guess that's why they didn't feel the need to add injectible hormones into my process. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-successful-iui-how-many-iuis-did-it-take#post-1449185 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 16:30:50 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 1449185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: Did they not recommend injectables with your IUIs?
