36: 12 months, but only two IUIs needed after male factor was finally diagnosed.
40: 7 months, four failed IUIs during that time. Last IUI was in January, got pregnant naturally in February.

This. I’d give it 3 more months. Then head to the RE. And step away from this thread.

This, except go to RE now. 3 months isn't unusual, but just in case something is up, you may as well start looking into it. (This coming from someone with good insurance, and so RE didn't represent a material additional cost to us).

I agree cat least get bloodwork and see what your numbers are.

But, far too many women make the mistake of getting all the tests, the blood work, etc, and never have their husband tested.

Take him with to do a semen analysis right away! It’s inexpensive, simple, and gives you both peace of mind.

First try means giving birth? So confused

Means the first time one tried to become pregnant. Doesn’t always end in giving birth.
