Has anyone had success with IUI? My doctor recommended trying it before IVF since there’s only a minor male factor issue.

My RE said IUI is best if the sperm are having issues so it sounds like a good option for you. I would go for it. Good luck!

Thank you!

I got pregnant with IUI but unfortunately led to miscarriage just to chromosome abnormality. Going to try IUI last time was just bad luck

:( good luck! Have you done the gene screening prior to IUI?

3 failed medicated IUIs but cause of infertility was unknown - partner’s sperm tested fine, no known ovulation issues - so I wasn’t an especially good candidate; it was just covered by my insurance (unlike IVF)

I should add a couple better stories — my friend whose husband’s sperm had some issues was successful with IUI, and my husbands coworker with known ovulation issues was successful her fourth try — so it does happen.
Sorry I know this road is so hard — you are so strong for going through this 💕 Try to give yourself grace and permission to take breaks when you need

My first was from IUI #1. My second was IUI #4 (#1-3 failed) that we did on a lark during prep for IVF b/c it was covered and doc said why not?

A few days late to this thread but my first IUI failed and my second worked! Just went back for round two and again our first failed but it’s looking like the same pattern where second worked (to be clear, I am pregnant but have a history of loss so just never feel safe saying it “worked” but it did get me pregnant!). Hope your next cycle is a success

And the reason I mentioned lean PCOS is because it seems for others with PCOS part of the fertility path is diet/exercise/weight loss but I am already very tiny.
