We're on our 3rd IUI (one with injectibles, one with Tamoxifen, this one unmedicated - it's backwards, I know) and have also done a round of IVF.

So far just three rounds of Clomid (all 50mg). Up next is our first IUI cycle (which will be with Letrozole and Ovidrel).

We did 4 cycles of clomid and 2 of femara, all with TI. Then we did two IUIs with injectibles (follistim). Hopefully next time we can jump straight to IUI with follistim.

Five cycles of Clomid, 2 cycles of Femara, 4 IUI with Menopur - hoping this is it or we will add IVF to this list.

Acupuncture & Herbs (one BFP that ended in m/c)
Naturopath: herbs, supplements (another BFP ending in m/c)
Now trying testing, diet changes, and maybe drugs and/or supplements depending on what the tests find.
We'll probably do a few more months with the ND since I apparently am able to get pregnant. If I have more m/cs or no luck, then we'll likely head to an RE. At this point, I don't think IUI or IVF will make a difference for me since its the sticking that is a problem.

@Mrs.Someone: Do you think that any of the meds that are associated with the IUI or IVF process would have an affect on the "sticking"? I just wonder if medication is another variable in this crazy process, you know? I wouldn't want you to feel like those options are out if you do get to that point.

@sweetooth: I suppose they could be, but couldn't the meds be used without IUI/IVF then? I don't feel like they aren't options, it just feels like they are unnecessary in my case.

I have done 5 total IUIs with 2 of them cancelled due to cysts. 4 of them with Femara and 1 with injectibles (menopur and granilex with a hcg trigger). I am currently doing acupuncture and am getting ready for my first round of IVF.

@Mrs.Someone: You mean the meds could be paired with something like timed intercourse? I suppose.

Two rounds of clomid-- one at 50mg for 5 days and one at 100mg for 10 days.

@sweetooth: Honestly I don't really know much about the typical fertility treatments! I think we're going to consult with an RE once I have all my test results to see what they would recommend, but I'm pretty sure we'll stick with the ND for a few more months.

IVF was our only option for getting pregnant and we were very lucky that it worked on our first round!

I am on metformin. I am also going to acupuncture. We have done one IUI with 50mg of clomid (unsucessful) and are in the middle of our second 50mg clomid with IUI.

Just acupuncture and herbs if that counts. Got a bfp, but then mc.
Will be moving on to Follistim in Sept. if not preg. by then. They don't "do" clomid here. ::sigh::
