Question

My boyfriend and I have been trying for 18 months. After seeing a fertility specialist we got diagnosed with unexplained infertility. 
Our next step is medicated iui. They said we have a very high chance of conceiving with iui. 
They explained the process, but could someone who had done iui explain it to me? Any success stories?

Answer

I’m also unexplained infertility. Period is due 1/17/18 and due to go in for some bloodwork and then star Femara and he suggested IUI as well. I’m a little nervous - I’m so excited to start treatment, but so scared it’ll be the same issue waiting and no BFP month after month

Answer

I have done 5 iuis,  three with oral meds and 2 with injections.  One worked. it I had a chemical. It's all relatively easy and painless. You will be told what five days to take your pills, you will come back probably a week after your meds are done for an ultrasound. Usually more than one ultrasound is necessary because they need to make sure the follicles are big enough,  around 20mm. Once you're follicles are the perfect size, you will get a trigger shot to force ovulation. The day after you trigger, you will go in for the procedure. They will take your his hands sperm, clean it to get out the crap, and put it straight into your uterus with a small catheter.  Shouldn't be painful at all, it's similar to a pap smear.

Answer

I'm 22 and my husband and I have been trying 17 months. I took 100mg of clomid this month cycle day 3-7. Now I'm taking ovulation tests and calling the day I get a positive and going in the next day. I haven't gotten any ultrasounds. I'm on cycle day 14 and am close to a positive. But I usually ovulate around cycle day 20. So the clomid seems to be making me ovulate early.
