Thanks Babysteps - did my 1st self injection last night under Hubbys supervision. Didnt go very well- I chickened out 1st stab and pulled it out. Had to stab again. And then couldnt reach the top of the pen with my thumb, so it felt like the pen was in forever. But tonight will be better - Ill try the right angle approach. How are you feeling after IUI?

Janeo - sounds like we have a lot in common ttc wise. Hoping of course this is your 1st and last iui, and by the sounds it you are in with a great chance this cycle! Did you have another scan/bloods today? Follies (apparently) grow around 2mm everyday, so the 19mm is ready and ripe to go, and the 15mm will be ready today/tomorrow. Sounds like you will have 2 eggs and therefore a very high change!! My 1st IUI I had 2 x 19mm follies, and the cycle ended in a chem preg which is the closest we had got so far.

AS to how many cycles, I thought that given the 15-20% success rate, which is 1 in 5 chance, that i would need to do 5 cycles to get success. We did 3 before we got fed up and moved onto IVF. IUI does work of course, OP is a perfect example of this, but for us though it was just taking too long.
