[quote=Anonymous]I completely understand the impulse to do this (five unsuccessful IUIs and 1 successful IVF under my belt) but I would be very careful with this. There was a study that came out recently that suggested that unmonitored use of Clomid was linked to a higher chance of birth defects, though the risk was small:

This study also found a higher link to birth defects in couples that used ICSI, and i used ICSI in my cycle. And I know that many of us have used Clomid under a doctor's care so we pretty much know what they want us to do and when. So I'm not saying not to do it, only to proceed with caution. I think I might be a little worried to do it after only one IUI under my belt -- many of the cases of higher order multiples we hear about have to do with unmonitored use of fertility meds. But, if you're willing to slectively reduce should you need to, maybe it's not a big deal. Just think through as many possibilities as you can. And good luck. [/quote]
