Hopefully the third time is a charm!

I will be going for my 3rd attempt at IUI on Tuesday at 10 a.m. This time, I took 50 mg. clomid days 3-7, I didn't have as many side affects as last time, no cramping, just some mild hot flashes, also,I am taking the Ovidrel trigger Sunday evening. I am a ball of nerves, :? and while i want to be as optimistic as possible, it is harder for me each time. Last time I had 4 mature follicles, but my sample was poor quality, only 4.6 million, so it was an unsuccussful attempt. This month I have only 1 mature follicle, My doctor said it is good quality and my lining looks really good, but I am not sure why I had four one time, and only one now.That's my 50% as for the male factor, The doctor told me that the number prior to freezing of my sample was 50 million motile, but we will see how that turns out after it is thawed on Tuesday. I am really hoping the third time will be a charm for me. Just wondering if anyone is at a similar place in their journey, it would be nice to be able to offer support to one another :) Good luck to all of you potential mommies and daddies, hopefully we will all be sharing our good news soon.

    Well, today was the day of my 3rd IUI, and once again I recieved a less than stellar sample. I am Super bummed because the same thing happened to me last time I tried in May. My sample contained 6.8 million motile, but with only about 36% mobility, so I am not too optimistic. I talked with my doctor, and I guess if it doesn't work, we will try using the pre washed semen next cycle. (previously he had been washing the samples at his facillity since historically this has given him better results.) I am begining my 2ww today, so I guess we will have to wait and see. BTW, in response to the earlier question, I used 50 mg of clomid this cycle, and had very few side effects, with hot flashes being the most prevalent. I also sugguest being as agressive as possible, in an effort to save yourself both money and added stress! Give yourself the best chance possible! Good luck to everyone in your journeys!
