Back to Back IUI

Hi,
I'm going in for my first IUI on Monday and was a little thrown off when they mentioned scheduling me only for one. When I previously talked to my doc he had suggested back to back but I guess with same sex couples they often only do one to save on costs. The nurse went back to the doc and we are going to trigger Sunday night and stick with the with back to back IUIs on Monday and Tuesday mornings. Does anyone know if I'm just wasting my money? Does a second IUI improve chances? If so do you know by how much? I have heard that frozen sperm doesn't last as long in the body so 2 made sense to me at least from my uninformed standpoint. Let me know what your experiences have been. Thank you!

Hubby and i were at the doctor's yesterday and I asked him about back to back IUI. He said it was unnesessary because it only increases the odds by 2 percent, but comes with highly increased cost ( extra vial of sperm and a cost of extra procedure).. Instead, he prefers to increase my odds with Clomid. Even though I ovulate on my own, Clomid helps release more eggs, and more eggs increase chances. It makes sense and i am actually relieved he thinks that because we are paying out of pocket for everything.
Let me know how your IUI went, i noticed that you post was back in February. I hope it worked out for you.
