First IUI - Have Questions!!

Happy New Year, ladies!!
For those of you who are familiar with my story, you know that I'll be having my first IUI with my January cycle and I'm so excited!! I've been waiting over 3 months for this and can't believe the time is already here! I was going to purchase my first 2 vials early this morning but stopped myself because I wanted to make sure I was going the best route, so now I need your help:
1. How many of you chose to join Club Fairfax? I ask this because the cost is $165 and, yes, it includes free shipping for your first order- but I live in the DC Metro area so my Local Courier shipping is only $95 - so that's not really a perk... So I'd like to know what type of specials Club members have seen in 2011 and how many of you did enough IUIs to take advantage of the "6th free vial" member perk? I know Fairfax already has a Pregnancy Pledge for clients who are not Club Fairfax Members (5th vial is free after 4 failed attempts), so I'm wondering who has actually reaped the benefit of ALSO getting their 6th vial free, thanks to their Club membership??
2. If you ARE a member of Club Fairfax, would you mind telling me what the current promotion is for January (if there is one)? I missed out on the 10% that they gave for online ordering from 12/23-12/25 because I hadn't sent in my Terms of Use form, yet.
3. Also, I was curious about everyone's ages and the number of attempts until you were successful? I'm sorry if this question feels like I'm prying but I'm a 32y/o healthy woman so I'm trying to figure out what my chances are in comparison to other women who are going through the same thing/IUI.
Unfortunately, Fairfax isn't open until Tuesday so there's no one in the office this weekend to help me figure out the best path/options. I'm just trying to make the best decision for me financially.
Thank you!!
Jaime

I joined club fairfax but only because I live in ohio and the free shipping was a perk. you get to see new donors before everyone else. After joining Club Fairfax, I got pregnant after the next iui so have not seen any other benefits.
I am 37 yrs old with one ovary and it took 4 iui attempts.
Good luck in your firts attempt! Sending lots of baby dust.

I joined and it pays for itself in one month if you have to have vials shipped.
My partner is 37 and it took her three attempts before she got pregnant.
Great! Good luck!
Unfortunately, my first IUI resulted in a "chemical pregnancy" (hate that term), so now I'm in process of IUI #2. I'm on CD8 and using 100mg of Clomid this time (I did 50mg last time). I'll have blood work and a sono 2/12, will hopefully trigger the same night and have my IUI on either 2/13 or 2/14.
