[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know that IUI is hit or miss, but for those who were successful...which clinic did you use and who was the doctor? My husband and I considering it and I’m looking for good options.[/quote]

I know the q is where were you successful but I think its equally imp. to know what to avoid with respect to IUIs. I did 3 IUIs with Shady Grove.  The first two included just a baseline ultrasound and no further monitoring. I was instructed to track my ovulation using at-home opks and no trigger; they did not test blood to make sure I had ovulated. I am v. sure there was user error and am not at all confident the procedures were done on the correct day. If I knew then what I knew now there is no way I would have wasted time/money on that.  Given that I was out of pocket, I also would not have wasted what amounted to the cost of a cycle of IVF on the 3 IUIs. [/quote]

I agree, I think if you're going to do IUI it's definitely worth it to do blood work and u/s monitoring.[/quote]

Can you ask for this? Shady Grove recommended natural cycle IUI for me.[/quote]

I wouldn't bother with a natural/unmonitored IUI. There's too many moving parts that could go wrong. Do you trust yourself with your OPKs enough? OPKs are also not always 100% and it is possible to get a false LH surge. There's so many things that could go wrong. If you are going to move onto IUI you should at least be monitored and I'd try to push for a trigger at least so you know for sure that your timing isn't completely hosed. If there is no MFI, a natural IUI with only one follicle isnt going to change your odds much from natural conception either. Just trying to be realistic here. [/quote]
