Hi Jo - just popping in quickly to say that IUI can work, even when it seems unlikely.

Our IUI was a bit of a last minute thing - it was meant to be a FET cycle, but I was flying to Sydney a few days before we would have needed to do the ET, and I didn't want to chance using my precious embryos when the timing wasn't quite right. We decided to go ahead with the IUI, because I'd been taking the synarel and puregon and it seemed silly to have gone through all the side effects of the drugs for no good reason.

I think our FS gave us a 5% chance of success with the IUI, because of DH's very low sperm count, but 5% was better than doing nothing, so we went ahead with it.

Then AF showed up, I went to my next FS appt, had the blood tests to start my next FET cycle ... and got a phone call from the IVF nurse saying that I was pg. Could have knocked my socks off lol.

I can't remember what my blood test levels were though - my FS was monitoring me through ultrasound, because it was supposed to be a FET cycle, so I can't remember my bt results sorry.
