    I tried 5 cycles unmedicated, just using OPK and well timed IUI all with no success (no known reproductive issues, 29yrs old) :( Just starting first round of Clomid this month for an extra boost. We shall see how that goes :) I know that unmedicated can work so good luck

    When trying for my 1st pregnancy I did 3 months of IUI with no meds or monitoring...all 3 failed. I have no issues, I am regular, ovulate on my own, my blood work (FSH etc.) all came back fine and my HSG was clear. I was just using OPK's for timing. I then tried 2 months of Clomid plus using the OPK's, those also failed. I did not have any luck until I tracked my egg production and ovulation with ultrasound. First time I was monitored by ultrasound and given a trigger to make sure I was ovulating at the exact perfect time for my IUI we got pregnant. I think for me the OPK's were just not accurate enough. When you are dealing with a limited number of WASHED sperm, usually 10 million that can live for about 24 hours, and you also only get one shot with an IUI you don't have the same chances as those who can have intercourse all week with 200 million sperm per coupling that can live in the body for 4 or so days on top of that. I would suggest monitoring, it's quick and easy and gives you accurate timing. Good luck!

    Those ladies using Clomid I HIGHLY suggest monitoring, my triplets are thanks to Clomid...and I know lots of other twin and triplet momma's that were on Clomid. I really feel Doctor's should not be giving that out without monitoring.

    KJtrips+, the women that used Clomid and had twins/triplets....was that with 50 mg or primarily 100 mg?
  • KJtrips+KJtrips+ Member Member
    I am on a message board for moms of multiples, we have moms of twins and triplets that took 50mg, 100mg (I was on 100mg myself) and 150mg. Just depends how well your body responds to the drug.

    I had two IUI's with no meds. Both were unsuccessful. I was supposed to get my third IUI this month but my hormones are apparently all over the place. I have to start fertility shots this cycle. I hope they work.

    What do you mean fertility shots. Are you talking about injectables? What are the shots for?
