Hello everyone,
My wife and I are just beginning our journey with the process of IUI. I am f/24, and my wife is 32. I can remember since the age of 19 wanting and feeling the urge of being a mother. To myself there is nothing more special than a bond between a parent and a child, and knowing that little person is someone you and your lover will raise and love unconditionally.
I recently went with my wife to our fertility center in NY, and had our consult which also included the Sonogram. Luckily the Nurse said everything looked good, (Ovaries & Lining), but I am still skeptical for reasons unknown. Our next visit will be within the five days- ten days after my (friend).
At the next visit I will be undergoing the HSG test which I am extremely nervous about after reading how painful it is. I was wondering if anyone else could elaborate on what the HSG is like and what I should expect. Also, since HSG deals with Radiation I have read that my partner cannot be in the room with me, so that is kind of stressful. However, once the HSG is done and hopefully turns out to be normal my wife and I can finally purchase our "swimmers", and then give it a go for IUI cycle 1.
We were wondering if anyone has had a successful IUI being around my age- 24, and through how many cycles it has taken. We wish everyone the best of luck in trying to concieve. Please pray for us-!
Good luck everyone!

If you are just 24 and have no known issues, you should get pregnant relatively easily. I'm 40 so it took 11 IUIs and 2 IVF. I'm now 6 weeks along and praying hard that I'll keep the pregnancy.
This is a roller coaster of a process. Just breathe and know that the end result is worth it all.
I also had the HSG and a SHG (sonohysterography) or saline ultrasound. I have no pain threshold lol and both of these were very easy. The worst part is the speculum! You'll do just fine
I was 36 when i started the process and just turned 37. I've had 5 failed IUI's and am moving on to IVF in October. On paper, there is no reason i should not be conceiving. The good thing for you is you have age on your side!!
Good luck and best wishes on your journey!
i actually just had my HSG done this past thursday and it was not bad. slightly uncomfortable during dye push because of balloon, but not bad. totally bearable!! and it did not take long at all. the cool thing was that i got to see the dye flow through my fallopean tubes on the screen. the tech told me that i might expect some cramping afterwards because body trying to get rid of it. but i experienced no cramping.
the tech made me feel really comfortable before during and after, explained everything she was going to do. my procedure consisted of a couple quick xrays and two pelvic tilts. thats it! so dont be nervous and if u have time, do a little research on it. should help with your expectations and put your mind at ease.
