Hi Jilly,
Sorry to read of your problems, but please hold on to hope.
I have been told that stats for IUI are anywhere from 6-20% with IUI, depending on the infertility issue though. DH and I have no diagnosed problem, but are on our third IUI this month with no success yet. Im 29 and DH 35.
We too are heading to IVF in January if the next 2 IUI's don't work. 4yrs TTC has been a long and rough road, as it is for everyone I guess.
I had my Day 10 ultrasound yesterday to see how my eggies are reacting to the Puregon this month...............not the greatest of news, I have 5 follies all at 10mm, so have to have anoth scan on Monday. If all of them keep growing they are going to cancell the cycle, which will completely devistate me. But last month I had 2 follies and one didn't keep growing, so I'm hoping thats the case again.
I just want one or two BIG FAT JUICY ones.............not 5 little ones
jilly - sorry to hear about the motility problems. What has the FS recommended? I'm not sure about the stats for IUI with motility issues, but I know it's likely to be more successful if there are no tubal or sperm issues. GL with whatever you decide to do.
murraycod - five follies! That's your ovaries doing too good a job! I'll be praying for you on Monday that two have charged ahead and left the others behind.
AFM - two days until end of 2ww, three until BT. Only symptoms are sore and large BBs and slight nausea. My last pregnyl was on Sunday night so I'm hoping they are my symptoms and not because of the injection. Anyway, I'm doing lots of social things between now and Monday so I can (try) keep my mind off it. Yeah, good luck with that!
Sal I wishing you all the best hun that you get good news in a few days X Iv'e never had nausea from the Pregnyl, and your last inj was almost a week ago, so hope that is a good sign for you. Does it feel different this time??
Normally I can pretty much tell if worked or not by this time in the TWW. Good Luck X
Hi girlie girls,
Just wanted to pop in let you all know that this will be the last cycle of IUI for me.
My scan wasn't great today, still have 5 eggies and only at 13mm.
Also have quite a huge number of smaller ones on each side.
FS thinking PCOS.
Will have more Puregon untill anoth scan on Thurs, but don't think a mirracle is going to happen. 90% cancelled cycle.
I will drop by and let you all know how it goes, but it's the last cycle for me.
Will be moving to IVF in January, take care to everyone, and thank you for all of the support shown to me, you have all been great.
I hope there are many BFP's to come in this thread, goodluck to everybody trying, fresh babydust sent your way XXXXX
Jilly : To be honest, as I think your FS was with you, however I know how hard it can be to digest all the information they give you in one 15 minute sitting.
My FS told me that IUI alone gave me a 1-2 % more chance of becoming pregnant instead "al la natural', with each IUI. (My DH has no problems with his swimmers, our problems are AMA) However the FSH, give me more of a chance, as I know I am releasing a timed egg.
So my advice to you, if your not ready to try IVF, is to keep trying, with IUI and timed intercourse, and you never know, at least if you are active in charting your cycle, and having timed BD you have given your egg every opportunity to catch the swimmer.
This is my plan for next year if IVF continues to dissapoint, timed BD with an appropraite dose of FSH each month, to keep the wheels in motion, at least I know I am giving myself every opportunity, and I am stimulating my egg to release
I'm out. Cramping started Sunday night and AF arrived on schedule on Monday morning. DH and I have been miserable for two days. Have been quite devastated. We move onto IVF next and have FS appt booked for next Monday. GL to everyone in here, I'll be keeping track of your progress! Thanks for all of your support. It has really helped.
I'll be praying for you on Monday that two have charged ahead and left the others behind. 
Thank you for the support.
