Have you guys gone to see a fertility
specialist? They can help a lot by doing
tests on both of you and trying to see
what the problem is.

Well... Posted: 10-14-05 20:13pm
I've only heard about some of my aunt's
goings-on from when she got pregnant. Her
husband was the trouble, but they knew
that in the first place (childhood disease
left him "shooting blanks") even though
she had to do months and months of
medicines and ultrasounds to make sure her
eggs were up to "code", she got pregnant,
both times, on the first try. My mom's
joke is "her eggs were so happy to get
anything that worked!" but apparently
there's only like a 12% chance of that
happening. I don't know if there's been
research done, but my family is very
fertile (on both sides) so no wonder my
sister got pregnant on the first time
(although it can happen to anybody on the
first time).

I just had my first cycle of iui. I am
assuming the difference between ai and iui
is whether the semen is deposited
intravaginally (ai) or washed sperm placed
intrauterine (iui)? Iui would result in
the highest pregnancy rate per cycle, with
a "take home baby rate" of 10-20% per
cycle depending on your age, hubby's
semen, indication, etc. I am waiting to
see if my first iui has been a success.
I have the wonderful "hostile mucus"--or
mucus with an attitude as I like to call
it--most people are pregnant within 3
cycles of iui (again, age and indications
taken into consideration). The absolute
best success rates come with ultrasound on
day 12-13 to assess follicle development,
followed by an hcg shot and insemination
24-36 hours later. You might ask your
doc if he/she does this.
