Back to Back IUI

    Hey... when I conceived my son, we had just one IUI.. boom, pregnant. This time around we tried in July and September 2015 (one IUI each time) and both were unsuccessful. Our donor only had IVF vials left at that point, so we decided to go that route... but my IVF cycle was cancelled because they over-suppressed my ovaries. By some miracle, somebody sold back more IUI vials of our donor, so we went forward with IUI again last month... this was also unsuccessful. Our situation is (as far as we know) strictly male-factor, but I was getting worried. I am currently in TWW... and I asked the doctor specifically if we should do back-to-back IUI's to enhance our chances. He said that since it's all about timing, that we would basically just be adding more sperm and that wasn't necessary. Have you considered asking the doctor to prescribe you with Ovidrel? That gives a guarantee that you'll ovulate within 36-40 hours of the trigger... I did the shot on April 12th at 7:30pm, and went in for the IUI on April 14th at 7:30am. I felt myself ovulate around 12:30.. which was about 41 hours... but that's still basically within that time frame. Last month I ovulated around 42 hours. Do you get that pain associated with ovulation?

    wow I just re-read... you triggered Sunday and you are going in this morning. I'm not feeling too hot, so my brain isn't with it (I think it's because of the Endometrin I am on). How did the IUI go??

    I should add that with my son, it was completely unmedicated... I only used ovulation sticks and well, the sperm obviously lasted long enough, although back then I wasn't very in-tune with my body, so I am not exactly sure when I ovulated.
