How many rounds of IUI did you need?

Hi,

I have just completed my second round of IUI and had another big fat negative. Everything seemed so perfectly lined up this time we even had to have the chat as there was a strong risk of multiples, but still nothing. Just wondering how many cycles other people have been through before they were successful and if anyone has any good tips about how to get through this?

We have been trying for 2 years, been with fertility associates since June, had 2 rounds of IUI (one with clomid, one without), and a cervical dilatation. This is the first time I have put anything on a forum, just really need some hope from other people's success stories after having a meltdown after yet another baby shower.

Please give me hope....

Thanks for the hugs Caronz - they were really needed today.

After yet another friend getting pregnant after only a couple of months trying I am startng to completely lose the plot! I know there is nothing more I can do to affect the outcome, it just wasn't meant to be, but I just wish it would finally be our turn to feel as happy as they do!

Thanks Kaz, and congratulations!

Day 1 today and just found out we are able to do another round this cycle(only just made the cut off or would have to wait until Jan because of Xmas). Starting clomid day 5 this time, so fingers crossed.
   

Hi Buttonz, we got pregnant on the 4th round of IUI with clomid and a mid-afternoon IUI. All the previous IUIs had been in the morning so we opted for an afternoon appointment, just to try something different. Not sure if that was the reason it worked but I'm 21 weeks pregnant now. Best wishes to you :)

I posted earlier but forgot to mention that I got pregnant with my DS on the first IUI, trying for #2 i got pregnant the seccond IUI, But sadly mc, since then I have done 10 rounds of IUI with no luck, so mixed results! But my DS is living proof that it does work Hang in there

Thanks GT, I have a lot starting on #2 as well. Had HSG last year, had cervical dilation and camera between IUI 1 & 2, FS was hoping we would get pregnant naturally just from that, but not to be and that is when we started clomid. Feeling positive for this round even though I have just found out about another pregnancy (that makes 5 in 2 weeks!) - I really hope it is contageous :)

Thanks everyone for posting and giving me hope - fingers crossed Santa spoils you with a BFP for Xmas.

Thanks GT. I'm in Wellington. A lot of my friends and family know as I am the only one left in our group who is married but doesn't have kids or pregnant and most of them are really great, it's just hard for them to relate, and I hope they never understand what this is like. I am trying to plan a lot of things to keep me busy, but with everyone with kids or pregnant it gets hard to organise things where I don't feel upset at the end of it.

I am feeling really positive this month(hopefully it lasts when I get to the dreaded 2WW), and taking your advice I am doing some of the things I have put off, time to become the best me in the meantime    I have just gone for a new role and work, and joined Weight Watchers to lose that 8kg I've been meaning to lose for a while but put off as there was no point if I was going to just get bigger. So at least if we aren't successful this round I will fit my jeans better (not the best consolation prize, but it's something).

Thanks for your support, finding this forum is really making a difference to my head space!

Thanks Choco. I'm on round 3 now, was lucky to be able to do it before Xmas, so fingers crossed and thanks for giving me hope :)
