[quote=Anonymous]The threads I could find on IUI were old, on secondary infertility, or specific in some other way to be of limited value to a broader audience - so I'm starting a new one (though feel free to link to any below as well for other readers looking for info). Would people share their experience with IUI here? Specifically, did you do natural cycle IUI and if so, how old were you, how many attempts did you make, why did you try it, etc...?

My understanding is that there are studies that show that natural cycle IUI does increase your chance of pregnancy if you have unexplained infertility; and that there are studies that show clomid alone also increases the chance of pregnancy for unexplained infertility. However, there are not studies actually showing that clomid + IUI together increase the chance of pregnancy - it's just widely assumed to be true (and I'm not actually doubting that).

I am (presumably others are too) totally petrified of twins. I'm not sure if I'm scared enough to go to IVF with a single embryo transfer though! Or to put it another way, if you were in your mid-thirties and insurance covered 6 IUIs before IVF and all your numbers were normal, how many natural cycle IUIs would you do?[/quote]
