It only takes one! Sending you lots of baby dust!  Did you take medication? How old are you? Your success rate really depends on lots of factors about yourself.  Several women on here have gotten pregnant with one mature follicle.  I have had 3 several cycles, and it didn't work.  I have also had one several cycles, and that didn't work either.  But I am going to continue to try, been trying since June 2007.

I am glad the procedure went well and I am keeping my fingers crossed for you. I am suppose to be doing my first IUI this cycle and am still waiting for any of my folicles to get big enough and I have a u/s tomorrow to see if they are finally ready. I will be happy for just one mature folicle since I am already at CD18 and normally O around CD16. SSBD to you!!!

I did clomid cd5-cd9. I just had an u/s today on cd19 and I have one folicle that has grown. Just like you I would have preferred a few more but for a while they had me worried that I wasn't going to have any so now I am relieved to have the one. They want me to do the trigger shot on Wed evening and come in for the IUI on Fri morning CD23. That is really late for me to O but I guess the clomid can really change your cycle. Good luck to you. Keep me posted on your progress. I am hoping we both are lucky on our first try.

aliaa82 - Good luck with your first IUI as well. SSBD to you!

Yea that sounds about right, I did my trigger shot on Friday night at 9.30 and went in for IUI Sunday morning @ 9am.

I think all in all everyone is different on how or how much they treat....If we don't get pregnant on this cycle, they will up the FSH shots next time and maybe up the clomid too in hopes of producing more follicles.

you keep me updated also.

aliaa82 - Good luck also and keep your chin up....we all know it's painful!!

I have never posted in a forum but going a little nute, I had my first IUI yesterday with Follistim and Ovidrel trigger.  Boobs are VERY sore, my hubby had 13 mil sperm after wash. Anyone have any stories with Follistem/Ovidrel?  Waiting for 2 weeks is not fun.

Aliaa82 Holy moly girl that's awesome!!! 4 mature follicles....that's amazing.... Good luck tomorrow, don't stress and just take it easy all day :)


Chizeryl....

Follistim is that the FSH shot? You had the IUI yesterday and your boobs are already sore....wow..I dunno I guess it's possible, everyone experiences different symptoms (from what I have heard) ...NOW me..

I have been a bit crampy since the IUI , my boobs don't hurt at all.... I am super sleepy today...and I woke up hungry this morning... well now actually... I had a strange tingling kinda feeling in my breast yesterday and today... but It's only been 3 days since the IUI...so I am trying to not pay attention to any symptoms b/c I am one of the people that has had every single pregnancy symptom and never been pregnant.... so I guess time will tell and lots of praying!!!

Hi ladies, im in the similar boat. This was our first IUI, all natural. I only had one follicle on 3 may, size 20; and I think I ovulated on 4 may, that day we did iui. Hubby had 30 mil after wash, all at 100%. I been cramping since 4th, is that normal. We also bd the same night, doc recommended. Good luck to all of you, hope it all works out....any success stories with one folie and no meds?

So it seems we all have the same question with no answer..... cramping after the IUI...is this normal?

I think the biggest concern for me is being afraid that it's showing signs of an impending period :(

Hi Everyone,

I'm about to do my 4th IUI on Wednesday (assuming all is ok at tomorrow's ultrasound when we will also do the trigger - on Saturday there was 1x15 mm follicle and 2 x 13 mm follicle.  If they continue should have 3 mature follicles for the trigger/IUI).  Had 2 pregnancies with the previous IUI's but unfortunately lost them. Am so nervous about this next attempt.  

Yes, cramping after IUI is totally normal.  If you used clomid you could have every symptom in the book (and more) and it can mean nothing.  Femara has less symptoms than clomid, but still it can play with your system.

Best wishes to everyone and hope we can all get BFPs (big fat positive) soon.
