IUI Treatment for Pregnancy: Why Isn't Your IUI Working?

I know not every doctor has the same opinion. I generally ask patients to stop fertility herbs when they are in treatment. But as your doc. See what they say! I have an herbalist I work with. I share the names of herbs with her and the manufacturer info then she tells me what she thinks as to whether they are safe to continue or not.

He can produce semen no problem, it's the actual intercourse we struggle with because I think he has severe performance anxiety. I understand there is therapy etc. but the thing is we both would really like a baby soon, that is why I am looking into IUI. I figure if we can at least try to start a family we can figure out the other issues later because after all, I am not getting any younger.

Why do you suggest double IUI to your patients? The overwhelming majority of the existing medical literature on this topic shows no benefit of double IUI compared with a single IUI, and double IUI certainly increases treatment costs for the patient.

[@EggWhisperer]

Dear Manai. I don't suggest it unless indicated. There are some very clear indications as who double IUI could help aaaand :) the literature supports it too. There is definitely a trend toward higher pregnancy rates as described in the most recent meta-analysis. I love that you're watching and commenting! Be well, stay strong and keep watching!

I know couple of people who have had 2 IUIs and 2 pregnancies (of which one live birth, currently pregnant). Talking about beating the odds! The other one younger the other one 40+ 42 (coincidentally fellow redheads!). I am 38, really wanting 2 kids but trying first time IUI just to see how it goes. Letrozol & Pregnyl right from the beginning. It feels annoying being this drugged but hey the things that you do.. I'm on a public clinic and they won't automatically check the fallopian tubes but then again I am super healthy and everything. This whole thing is practically free so I am sort of in no position to demand staff. 🤔 My follicle was obviously checked and IUI with trigger shot simultaneously and I ovulated sharply 24h later. IUI itself was super uncomfortable (just like the Pap check) - almost to a degree being traumatic. I drove the 256km journey to the University hospital myself, we got first snow on the very day (North Finland) and this elderly gentleman crashed my car.. you could say that not a perfect setting for a calm procedure. Anyhow, doctors really need to start taking women's pain seriously! Traditionally this hasn't always been the first priority. After my terrible IUI day I have had my own fun(masturbating) almost daily to create tiny bit normal conditions and much needed oxytocin (vital in implantation, ). I am a Choice Mom using donor sperm currently on my 2 weeks wait.

Both husband and I are 34 years old.His semen analysis also came out fine. We never took any contraceptive pills nor is there any infertility in the family.We tried to conceive for a year in vain.There after we tried twice with just medication and hcg shots also failed. The second cycle of treatment with hcg, my doc gave me 5000 mg of hcg..but i did not ovulate within 48 hours.Then she gave me another shot of 5000 mg and I ovulated. But again I got my periods this month. My doctor says we are both healthy and should be able to conceive naturally.Its now been almost 2 years. These frequent visits to the clinic and pills are making me feel like I have some kind of disease. My eggs are growing normally. What do you think is the reason of my unexplained infertility?

I went to a fertility clinic at 3 months of trying and did all the standard tests along with my partner and everything came back normal range. The only thing left to do is do something called a sono histogram so they can check my tubes. I also have a regular 28 day cycle. I'm thinking if I should do iui to speed up the process or not.

[@EggWhisperer]

Sounds like they are doing all the right things. Checking the tubes is the best next step

[@blackbird7842]

I'm mainly concern about the risk of having birth defects or Down Syndrome etc because of IUI because of the absence of natural barriers that helps eliminate the weaker sperm cells..I've searched online for more info about this but there aren't enough ...does it all come down to luck then? Or what about egg quality in IUI? How can I be sure the egg that's released is of good quality or not? Compared to IVF where the eggs are tested, right? Is IUI not a good option if I'm concerned about birth defects, Down Syndrome etc? I'm 39 and hubby has a mild motility issue... I hope you answer my question doctor, thanks in advance!

[@noraMD]

If you are concerned just do genetic testing at 10 weeks or ivf with preimplantation genetic testing!

[@reenasharma8110]

What about sperm motility ratios plz describe

[@thicknessdavis8754]

Wow you fabulous!! I wish you where my doctor by the way iui pants super nice.. I had a failed iui I was my progesterone dropped 🤦‍♀️

[@limaviswam]

Today is my 14th day of my 2nd iui. My husbands sperm motility is low.... Should I hope for a good result?.

[@EggWhisperer]

lima viswam I would have him see a urologist if he hasn’t already for a complete work up and if the motility is low and you can’t improve it then do ivf. Likelihood of success with low motility is very low but I’ve seen it happen before!

[@limaviswam]

[@spottedbybarbie]

i just finished my 3rd IUI insemination yesterday and onmy 2 week wait. i did workout on my 1st and it failed. on my 2nd just did brisk walking and failed. I want this time to be succesfull as possible. I have been working out all my life . Can I ask if you are allowed to workout like brisk walking on a treadmill for 30 mins or 40 mins but in an airconditioned room and do pilates 30 minutes. And also do you advise to drink a cup of coffee in the morning while on a 2 weel wait? thank you

[@EggWhisperer]

Barbie Lee hi Barbie. Thank you for asking these questions. I typically tell patients that one cup of coffee a day is safe and won’t harm your pregnancy chances. Same for low impact and low intensity exercising. Walking on a treadmill is the exact type of exercise I tell patients to consider during the two week wait. If you are very bloated from ovulating then perhaps take a break. The best thing to do is to listen to your body and if something hurts then stop doing it. I think you’re doing things safely

[@julessmith1633]

My hormones are good, tubes are open, partners sperm is good.. I had a laparoscopy 6 months ago to treat mild endometriosis. My consultant has recommended IUI... do you think this is a good idea or go straight to IVF? I'm 28 and my husband is 30.

[@EggWhisperer]

Jules Smith if you’re tubes are open and sperm is good then you could hold off on IVF however if you’re symptomatic from endometriosis then I would go right to IVF. Endometriosis can get worse over time and especially if you have been trying more than 6months it might make sense to go right to IvF

[@Jrose8425]

Thank you for such great information!! If I may pick your brain a bit with these three (just three..lol) questions 1. Today we received a follicle check. Left side 27 right side 23 and lining 10mm. Is there a certain size that a follicle reaches and ovulation occurs? 2. IUI is scheduled for Monday with a trigger shot on Sunday is this too late? I'm scared that I'll ovulate before Monday. 3. Does the trigger shot take control of the ovulation? My husband has low and slow swimmers so I just want don't want to miss my window. Thank you in advance for all that you do!! Darn I have a 4th question is there a doctor who you can reccomend in Charlotte, NC? Peace and Blessings

Hello, I have unexplained infertility... I ovulate every month and my cycle is like clockwork every 28days. I am on my 6th IUI coming up this week... I always trigger w/ovidrel 24hrs before the IUI per my doctors instructions. I have an IUI at 24hrs and a 2nd at 48hrs. Whenever I take the trigger shot I feel like I am ovulating right away, within a few hours.... I have mentioned this to my RE and he insists that is not possible, I have even asked if I can trigger closer to the 1st IUI and he has said no. I know my body and I feel like we are not timing the IUI properly, what is your experience with this? Could I be ovulating sooner than expected? I am very sensitive to medication.
