Any success with IUI?

Question

My DH and I are going to do our first IUI this cycle with our RE. We have been TTC for 3 years. Anyone have success the first time around? Any tips?

Answer

Hi Nicole, I just came across this thread. We did our first IUI this month and I'm pregnant now at 4 weeks

Answer

I was so stressed the first iui, all the unknown stuff scared me. Much to my surprise, it was a breeze. Procedure was super quick and easy. The biggest pain was scheduling all the ultrasounds around our jobs. Relax, easy to say, but really try to relax. Take care of yourself (vitamins, eating healthy) and welcome to the TWW. With iui it seems harder than when we tried naturally. You might have some mild cramping after the procedure. Don't let that alarm you, it's normal.

​I'm onto my third iui this month. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Good luck!
