[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I got pregnant on two out of my three IUIs (had an early miscarriage on the first one).  35 at the time, unexplained infertility, with Letrozole/Femara.  I have also heard what PP said about how that if it's going to work, it'll work in the first 3 times.

Be forewarned, the second time I got pregnant, it was twins (despite monitoring - they thought there was only one egg...).  They're about to turn two.  So, there's that risk with IUI, which I preach loudly to all who will listen![/quote]

A PP here for whom it worked on the first try, for our second kid. Twins was DH's big fear. We wanted two kids, not three, and he was pretty adamant. He was close to demanding that I agree to reduce if it was twins. I couldn't make that promise and fortunately did not need to. The RE agreed it was a concern, thought it was slightly less of a risk with letrozole versus Clomid. She put the risk at about 10%. Anecdotally it seems higher.

I must say, having done IUI and seriously considered IVF, IUI is far, far, far less invasive and time-consuming. I can see why some insurance plans mandate it. [/quote]
