Intauterine insemination (IUI)
WHAT: IUI involves placing the collected sperm inside the female’s uterus to facilitate fertilization.
WHY: In some cases, ovulation induction medications may taken before the IUI procedure. The procedure is performed around the time of ovulation, typically about 24-36 hours after the surge in LH hormone indicating that ovulation will occur soon.
HOW: IUI can be used to overcome a range of fertility issues including unexplained infertility, minimal male factor infertility (low sperm count or decreased sperm mobility), and female cervical mucus problems.

IUI IUI IUI

Hi ladies!! Is anyone else starting an IUI this month? I would love to support and keep connection with others! I’m taking Clomid 100mg, the trigger shot and the IUI. I go in next Wednesday for my follicle scan. This will be my first time, and we are hoping for a positive outcome!

iui iui iui

So I just did an iui yesterday, had sex today, and another iui tomorrow. What can and cant I do? Am I supposed to be on bed rest? My doctor never clarified. My largest follicle was on my left side at 20cm and I’ve had cramping on only that side all day long. Does that mean anything? Any help, tips, stories will really help!!

To IUI OR TO NOT IUI

My husband and I are pretty good on paper when it comes to fertility, we’ve been trying for 8-9 months for our rainbow baby and nothing has come of it so we decided to seek help- we did an IUI last cycle, I had 3 mature eggs and he had good a sperm count, my progesterone was great but against all odds it didn’t work. Should we proceed with a second IUI? It costs us about $1,500 with meds and everything? I just see a lot about IUIs working for people the first time then I just don’t see a ton about it working the 2nd or 3rd time.... I’m just not sure please let me know any/all your thoughts! We are in our late 20s but really want our rainbow asap it’s been almost a year...

To IUI or not to IUI

Hi ladies! This will my our last cycle before having to go to IUI. Just wondering your experiences and recommendation? We’ve tried clomid and times intercourse but unsuccessful.. we’ve been trying for a little over 15 cycles.. during that time I had one pregnancy that resulted in an early miscarriage early this year in January.. All my tests have came back fine, blood work showed boarder line PCOS, so I am on metformin once a day. Hubby has super sperm, not kidding he had like 167 million with a 52% mobility.. I’ve heard IUI is used for male infertility, which is not the case with us.. IUI will be $1,800 per round so we want to make sure this is the next thing for us.. Suggestions? Ideas? Successful IUI stories? What was the reason you had went down the IUI road?

IUI or No IUI?

Hi! We just had one failed IUI with gonal stims. We are now going to try clomid but I am wondering if the IUI is really worth it? Has anyone done done clomid without an IUI and been successful? How many try’s? I have low reserve and husband has low morphology.

IUI IUI

My husband and I have been trying for 2 years. After testing my husband has a very high sperm count and good motility snd morphology. I have done all my testing and everything came back good except my AMH was high (10). Dr said it indicates PCOS but he rules out as infertility because I have always had very regular periods and no other symptoms and am usually hitting my peak every month on my sticks. So basically we are back to “unexplained infertility”. He recommends doing IUI. Anyone have any advice or recommendations?

I read that IUI involves depositing a concentrated amount of sperm from your partner or a donor directly into your uterus, using a catheter that passes through the cervix.Has anyone tried this and had success.

IUI??

So I had an IUI yesterday. My back was pretty sore (I think from ovulating with the trigger shot) my left side is still crampy and uncomfortable (my right side doesn't work so I can't get pregnant on that side - it is somewhat crampy too) I'm getting pinching. Is this a good sign? Does this mean the egg and sperm have met? I sure pray to God it does. Any insight would be helpful.

Anyone who has had IUI done how many times did you have try and what was your experience? Not sure want to expect. We are trying it for the 1st Time in July. I have low egg quality so they put me on CoQ10 and I’ll start clomid and progesterone also.
