How many tries?

CLI ModeratorCLI Moderator Senior Member
How many inseminations did you try before getting your BFP? Or how many times before changing protocols, doctors, donors, ect?

  • It took us four IUI cycles. It was our first try with injectables and back to back IUIs, unfortunately we also had a early miscarriage but we will be using the same protocol again in August with the same donor. Fingers crossed!

    It took me 9 tries with donor sperm to get my BFP. I used 4171 six times before switching to 2931 for three attempts. I am currently 19 weeks pregnant. 4171 had a much better count than 2931, but just didn't work for me.
  • It took us two tries with our chosen donor. The first time was unmedicated. The second was with Femera and worked like a charm! Our DD is now almost 4!
  • It took me 4 IUI's & then I miscarried. I then used a low dose of clomid and IUI #5 was successful. All with 4108, we were contemplating switching donors if attempt #5 was not successful. I had my IUI done in a clinic first thing in the morning the day after getting a positive ovulation test at times #4 & 5.
  • In TTC #1, we had 5 unsuccessful IUI's with #1974. Then we switched to #4108 and conceived on the first try with him.

    IN TTC#2, we also conceived on the first try using #4108 again - and now we have 6 vials left to spare! (Anyone interested? LOL ;)

    All IUI's were unmedicated. (Although with both conceptions, I was drinking Fertilitea to enhance my fertility factors - seemed to do the trick quite nicely!)

    I also have children with this donor. Would love to hear from you - jairarick@yahoo.com
