Odds of Conceiving after X amount of medicated IUIs?

[fondreflections]

Can anyone tell me what their doctor said with the above and below question?

If you don't conceive by X amount of IUIs, then you probably won't!!!

I doubt I'll get him to do more than 3, but that has to be close to the cutoff, right???

I have never seen the odds regarding your second question, but the highest # I heard regarding odds of success w/ IUI is about 35% per cycle - and this is with injectibles. My RE said the odds are 25% with each cycle. Let's assume best case scenario (35% chance of success each cycle), we can look at the odds of getting pregnant WITHIN A CERTAIN # OF CYCLES:

1 cycle = 35%
2 cycles = 58%
3 cycles = 73%
4 cycles = 82%
5 cycles = 88%
6 cycles = 92%

Personally, I think 25% is a bit more realistic, so I'll list those #s too:
1 cycle = 35%
2 cycles = 44%
3 cycles = 58%
4 cycles = 68%
5 cycles = 76%
6 cycles = 82%

I've heard of people doing way more than 3 IUIs. I just saw a girl on another message board today who is on her 11th IUI! I know we will be doing more than 3. I am thinking 3 unmedicated, 3 w/ clomid, and 3 w/ injectibles. Then we'd move onto IVF (but hopefully we won't have to do all that!)

Kristen is right. Its pretty standard to try each plan 3 times before moving on to more aggressive treatments. Both RE's I've seen, in Az. and Ne. have gone by this protocol.
As far as 25% thats what I had as well with each cycle. My last cycle we did injectible and letrizole and my RE still said it was a 25% chance of pregnancy. We had 2 mature follicles by insemination day.

Hmmmm......Really.....

The <u>FIRST</u> infertility clinic that I went to 1.5 years ago only wanted to do:

1 cycle with Clomid and IUI
1 cycle with injectables and IUI
1 cycle with injectables, trigger, and IUI

They actually jumped to IVF right off the bat, but we said that we weren't going to do it...

So they came up with this 'quick plan'...

The second infertility clinic that I went to January 2008 also jumped to IVF first. Again we said that they were nuts...

These are the only two clinics in our area...We need a clinic close enough to us because of Jake's nutty work schedule. Now he is the finance manager for the whole dealership (layed off other guy) so he isn't really even off on his day off. He was suppose to be off yesterday and ended up working 6 hours...Just getting to the clinic to give his donation will be difficult enough...

Either way, no clinic nearby wants to do more than A TOTAL OF 3-4 IUI CYCLES!!! They also are 'trying' to say that my tubes might not be picking up the eggs despite a CLEAR TUBE TEST AND CLEAR LAPRASOPY. This is why I have no faith in these clinics...I'm sure you'd feel the same way...

I'm looking forward to March 16th, but I'm hesitant because nothing is ever layed out without more guessing or 'theories'. They make me feel like it's mission impossible...
