[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]if you have both tubes open and fine sperm and multiple eggs, why is the IUI success rate still like 10 percent? [/quote]

How old are you and what's your chance of conceive naturally?  For a 40 year old woman who has 5% of conceive naturally, 10% IUI is an improvement.

Compare to IVF IUI success rate is low.  Most likely cause is the egg quality. [/quote]

I'm 35 and my doctor told me my chance of conceiving naturally is 1% since we had tried for a year without success and my AMH is abysmal (0.3)[/quote]

Just want to put it out there that I have nearly identical stats (35, extremely low chance of natural conception, undetectable AMH, FSH in the teens) and we did IUI while killing time while waiting for my IVF meds.  It worked and I'm 15 weeks pregnant.  I had ZERO hope that this would work, and mostly just went along with it because "why not" and because I knew my husband felt better knowing we were throwing everything we could at it while we waited for IVF.

I had only marginally better chances of getting pregnant with IVF, as I have an AFC count of 2 on a good month, and wasn't even sure if I was up for IVF given those low odds.

how many IUIs had you done before you got preg?

For what it's worth, it was a clomid cycle and I was on estrogen and progesterone after ovulation before my BFP and for a few weeks after.  I realize I was extremely lucky with my outcome, but it allowed me to realize that being extremely Unlucky in my general fertility didn't preclude me from being extremely lucky on the other end, too.
