I think in another thrad, there were a bunch of us that it took 6 tries to work... My first four were without drugs, the next two used various meds and that last one (number 6) worked.

It took us five tries--3 with clomid and 2 with injectibles until I conceived and I was 42 at the time. I'm amazed but it worked!! Best of luck to you!

We also have MF infertility. We tried 2 IVF/ICSI cycles but they failed. We decided to try IUI with donor sperm, and we were lucky enough to have it work the first time. My RE had me on 100mg of clomid and I used the ovidrel trigger shot just so it would be more of a controlled IUI cycle (I do ovulate on my own though). Timing is everything. I had 3 follicles, and was insiminated with 12 million sperm. Now I'm 11 weeks pregnant with our first child. Good luck on whatever you decide.

We too have male infertility and we used donor insemination and it too us two cycles but we are blessed to have a happy, healthy 3 yr. old now. Its worth the wait and every penny spent! Good luck!

We got a BFP on our first IUI using 100 mg Clomid and Ovidrel trigger (5 follicles) but miscarried at 14 weeks. Second IUI was canceled due to thin uterine lining caused by a reaction to the Clomid. We got another BFP on our third IUI using Injectables (7 follicles) but am currently miscarrying.
