any sucess with back to back iui's for ladies age 38-40 yrs old
i know that this question has been posted once before a while back... i just turned 40 yrs old and have tried 3 single iuis and when i go back in aug or early sept i will be doing the double iui, i was just wondering if there are any sucessful stories of any ladies that have tried the single iui with no sucess and then tried the back to back iui's and then have gotten preg.

Hello. Not to be a stick in the mud, but if you are serious about getting pregnant you need to be combining injectable drugs with your IUI's, and it wouldn't hurt to throw in acupuncture too. If a few cycles of stimulation drugs and IUI's don't work then move on to IVF right away. Doing IUI's without injectable stimulation (forget Clomid, it is for 30 year olds) is a waste of your valuable time and money. You still have a chance of success at 40, but every year after that it gets harder and harder if not impossible. If you haven't had your hubby/BF checked out then he should get a semen analysis too. Just telling it like it is. Good luck and baby dust to you!
no problem. i hope for the same, there is a positive and neg with these situations and sites like these are a positive because you hear about other with the same or almost same issues and others that have experienced prior to you can give advice and pointers to what is avail and what helped them.. so i am very glad to meet you and the neg is that there is so many people that are going through this infertility... i wish you and hubby the best... and thank you for your wishes to... christina
I just figured out my misunderstanding. Someone by the nickname candybar is going through IUIs as well. She had a positive pregnancy test last night. In my quick glance this morning, I thought it was you. I am sorry!
I am just going to have hope that we will be in the same situation soon!

UGH!! I am sooo sorry that I misunderstood. Thanks.Yes, I will let you know tomorrow what the doctor says.
My husband's chemo was for testicular cancer. We were told at the time that he was no longer viable, but apparently that changed. His counts are very low, but they have him on meds to help increase it.
I hope that we both have luck this next treatment! :)

i am not sure if you misunderstood what i was writting but the only positive thing with the single iui's is the number of follicles... but i never had a positive test that is why we are going to try the double iui's on my next cycle at the end of this month... sorry if i confused you... but i will keep you updated and i myself have been threw kemo 2 x, but i was told it was not a factor for not being preg... i wish you the best with the drs tomorrow. and keep me updated... christina
I am new at this, so I am not certain how to add you to my friends. Feel free to add me. I just saw your post on the other discussion. I am SOOOOO excited for you!!!! Oh, if only we can manage, too!!
Yes, I understand the age issue. They keep telling us the same thing. I feel like weeping when he says,"Due to your advanced age..." ! If we had known my husband was viable at all after his cancer and chemo treatments eighteen years ago, we would not be advanced age and trying to have one ourselves.
I will have to tell my husband about your positive test. I think he will be excited, too! :)
We go to the doctor tomorrow morning to see if follicles formed this month. I think they did because I feel a bit uncomfortable and bloated already. I will let you know what happens.
Again, CONGRATULATIONS!!!
