Another IUI

in 2 weeks i will proceed to my 3rd IUI - so far no luck...  Any ideas of what i might be doing wrong?  I have been trying to conceive since 2001 - we never used any kind of protection, i finally started seeing a Fertility Specialist June 2010 till today - my husband has 'GREAT' sperm <> and i ovulate with the help of Clomid 200mg a day for 10 days...  is there something i should not do or do to increase my chances of a pregnancy after the IUI? I'm to the point where i just want to give up and keep thinking to myself that i'm not meant to be a mother...

Hi jolly. I had 3 unsuccessful iuis that included clomid and injectables  
The fertility clinic told us consecutive  will increase the chances bc it will regulate the body. I don't believe it and believe we should've stopped after our first unsuccessful iui cycle. Our protocol stayed the same and looking back I don't see how it could work. I have several friends that were successful after their first iui.

After 3 iui, dr recommended ivf to hopefully find the problem. With ivf there are more monitoring and shots. All in hopes for a baby and an answer.

Good luck to u. Wishing you a bundle of joy.

Don't give up.  The success rates for each IUI is about 20%.  This means it can take a few cycles to be successful.

Ask your doctor about femara.  It works better for some women than clomid.

I am with you on my 6th IUI cycle starting yesterday.  I got pregnant on 2 IUI cycles, but lost them and once naturally, but also lost it.  I have to beleive it is just a matter of time and catching the right egg.

Best wishes.
