I had two medicated IUI cycles, the second one was successful. I used Follistim, which is an injectible. I was a slow responder so I had to stim for about 3 weeks each time. The first time resulted in one mature follice, the second I had four. The second was almost converted to an IVF but we decided we would take our chances. So glad we did!

I did not have success with my IUIs and ended up going on to IVF. I had 3 IUIs - well actually had 5 IUI cycles, but two were cancelled prior to the actual IUI. 4 cycles were with Femara and 1 was with injectibles (menopur, granilex and a trigger shot). I did have success with my first IVF cycle.

I have had 2 failed IUI so far. Doing my last one soon before going to IVF. I, also, had 3 IUI cycles where I started on medication (femera) and my cycles were cancelled because of enlarged follicles (possible cysts) and the two other we're cancelled because my DH was unable to produce a sample for the IUI. We are very hopeful that the IUIs won't be cancelled for DH's issue because my dr is allowing us to freeze his sperm to use as a back up, if he can't give a fresh sample.

Oh, my diagnosis is unknown. My DH has had low morphology but the IUIs should have helped with that.

Oh, I created another thread to share IF success. http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-of-iui-and-ivf-or-infertility

It can give us all hope that we will be mothers soon.

No success stories, but we are moving to IUI soon. Hopefully I will be one!

I did 3 IUIs with Clomid, the 3rd resulted in an ectopic pregnancy. I then had success with my 1st IUI with injectables (Follistim and Ovidrel).

We're on our 2nd IUI this month. The first one was natural (no drugs) and didn't take (I just had one mature follicle). I started clomid this cycle (days 5-9), and then went into the office for monitoring (bloodwork and ultrasounds to check for mature follicles) on days 11, 12 and 13. I had 2, maybe 3 mature follicles this time, did the trigger shot and then the procedure was this past Friday. So, now we wait! The actual process is pretty easy - uncomfortable, but not painful - just like a pap smear. I ovulate on my own, so the clomid was just to increase the odds of more follicles and more eggs!

@LittleLashesToes: 9 months

We had our first IUI last month with Clomid that ended in one mature follicle but no pregnancy. This cycle, we have four mature follicles, triggered last night, and the IUI is tomorrow! Crossing our fingers!

I had succes with my first IUi. I had a failed Clomid cycle before it. I have Ovulation issues. For my IUI I took 100 mg of Clomid for five days, than a few days later I had a Gonal-F injectin followed by a an Ovidrel Trigger shot a few days later than IUi 36 hours after the Trigger. It worked. I'm the mom of an 11 month old now. I was monitored closely during my cycle with bloodwork and ultrasound. I was almost cancelled for follies being slow to grow but then we went ahead. I tend have to take estrace as a suppository to boast my lining and then I stayed on that and Progestrone until 8 weeks I think.
