I'm 36 no issues 3rd iui with a trigger and clomed, anyone else having problems with not getting a positive? So frustrating.
I get monitored but nobody tells me if the egg is a good size or if we're even nailing it on the right day. I would think these clinics know what their doing but now I feel like I'm questioning every move they make

I did 11 IUIs, including 5 with injectibles and just one BFP (on a non-medicated cycle) which I lost at 7.5 weeks. I finally got my BFP on my second round of IVF. I'm now 10.5 weeks and praying every day for a healthy pregnancy and healthy baby. I started the process at 39 and am now expecting my baby just after my 41st birthday
I would talk to your RE about your chances and perhaps moving onto IVF. The RE should be telling you the size of the follicle and monitoring you to make sure it is the right day. Mine did the IUI 36 hours after the trigger, and some months I did back to back IUIs. My follicles were generally triggered after 18-21mm in size.
But most importantly, you should be talking to your RE and if you feel that s/he isn't answering your questions, go to another clinic
How old are you? If you have fertility coverage then you are in a better position than most of us on this forum. I was working long hours and sticking to a strict budget in order to afford everything plus a low interest personal loan. You do what you have to...I have no regrets! I'm now 16wks tomorrow!!
Good luck and I hope that your success comes quickly:-)
Before IVF I need to know exactly what goes on.
How did u do it for a cycle? What was it like?
You're lucky that you have some coverage....that's awesome! As for the cost it varies significantly from clinic to clinic and from state to state. Several ladies have posted their costs on the forums under "Fertility treatments" and you can also look at the thread "First IVF.....my experience" There's a ton of info about what many of us have experienced and our outcomes....some positive and some still working towards that positive. I also saw a post under "Share Your Story" and thread was called "Avon" that one describes financing IUI's. It's easy to find, just do an advanced search and the forums should pop up without you having to scroll through years of posts :-)
Hope this helps!
The doctor wouldn't do any process unless we had 2 eggs that were around 20mm. He wanted 25-30 mm eggs the day of the iui. We had to use the trigger at an exact time so the sample was waiting on the eggs to drop.
We also have 80/20 insurance and was able to put all ultrasounds on insurance
The doctor had us do a lot do ultrasounds think on our try that worked we had close to 3-4 to make sure our eggs were doing good.
Good luck to you. Thank you for listening.
baby dust and positive thoughts!
