Hi Sue!

Thanks so much!

We r doing IUI for one round, and then if it it doesnt work doing IVF.

I see you did 1 IUI cycle...?
How was it?

It was good actually, although resulted in a BFN for me.
It was a good introduction to IVF for me. IUI does work for some though, but I have tubal issues.

I had puregon injections which produced one big follicle. I was on a small dose (50iu).

Good luck with it all!!

We did 4 rounds, with Clomid and frozen donor sperm, and the 4th round in Nov. 07 resulted in our gorgeous princess Jazz, so it definitely can be successful! I have PCOS, so getting me to ovulate was that hardest part. Good luck!

I am finding it good so far, needles arent too bad!

Yes Sue I also think its a good introduction because can get used to everything when its not as complicated as ivf!

I have PCOS too Leasha, and I am having same probs....
on day 14 and only 1 small follicle too small.

So they have increased my dose from 50 - 75 over the weekend!
Then I have another ultrasound on Monday.

What clinics did you go to?

Does the actual IUI hurt?

We did a iui cycle beginning of last year.FS had me take clomid for 5 day (cant remember what dosage). but there were no follicles so i had puregon injections for 5 days (48iu) and got three follicles.Had a pregnyl trigger and had the iui two days later.unfortunately it didnt work for us and we are hoping to do ivf in the next couple months.i hope you have success with your iui.FS told me that most of his patients fall pregnant within 3 or 4 iui cycles and the ones that dont her then does ivf. but im not going to see that FS for IVF
