Hi I am a newbee here! IUI is clomid needed?

[whisper08]

Hi I have had every test done and I am fine. My husbands counts are low and  we
are trying IUI for the 1st time.  Does anyone no if Clomid is needed for myself
when all my test are fine?  Also has anyone heard of getting an IUI and being told
to have sex just before the IUI and after the IUI?

My DH has a low sperm count and we are going to be using clomid with our first IUI. My RE said it's like playing darts. With Clomid there will most likely be 2 targets instead of 1 so your odds are better. Good Luck:)

I disagree that Clomid is a really harsh medicine. It does cause cysts in some
women but plenty of women have had a lot of success with it and didn't develop any cysts at all.

Clomid is a really harsh madicine ~ it produced cysts with me and alot of others ~ research it on here ~ what dose are you on?.....

IUI's they usually do have you BD TWO days before and after the IUI just to reinforce everything ~ be sure to ask them for an ultrasound before the IUI to be sure the follicle released ~ did they give you the sizes of the follicles & your lining..??..best to keep a journal and ask questions (that you find out on here to ask) instead of just going in and trusting al they do/say ~

GOOD LUCK!!!!...when are you scheduled...????

Clomid can improve your chances by helping you release more than one egg.  You can have IUI w/o clomid but your chances will be higher on a medicated cycle.
Good luck!

I don't know much about IUI but I wanted to say welcome to  this forum. I've been out here for about a year and a half. It's a wonderful place for support and a safe place to vent where people really understand and won't  judge. I hope you find it to be the same for you.
