I just completed my 2nd iui with no success. i was on two rounds letrozole.. First round produced only one follicle. Second round I had two follicles, but still no success ...all lab work, blood work is good. My numbers are within normal...I am 38.

Can anyone share their experience. How many iui tries before going to more aggressive treatment with injectables or ivf?

    Hey, I am 33. I conceived my son (now almost 2 1/2) with my first IUI, unmedicated. I tried two more IUI's in July and September, one medicated (5mg Letrozole, one mature follicle), one not, and neither were successful. Our sperm donor ran out of ICI and IUI vials, so we decided to go forward with IVF. I spent thousands on medications (injectables) and only produced two follicles. The doctor was shocked because I have proven fertility. The cycle was cancelled. By some miracle, somebody who had IUI vials of our donor in storage, sold them back to Fairfax, so I bought another IUI vial and we are currently in TWW. I was on 5mg of Letrozole days 3-5 and had THREE mature follicles! My IUI was yesterday morning (eeek!). I'll update you with results. I think my RE normally does 3-4 IUI's before suggesting IVF. GOOD LUCK!!!
