My RE said 5-6. I did 5.

I did a total of 6 cycles and never heard of a lifetime limit

First:
22 cycles TI
3 clomid + IUI
Naturally pregnant

Second:
11 TI
1 IVF

I wish I hadn't wasted so much time on TI and IUI.

Some REs restrict the number of cycles a woman can take Clomid for a number of reasons, including a potentially increased risk of ovarian cancer. As with many of these things, REs vary on the practice, and I assume it matters whether you have other risk factors. There is a lot of information available about this.
