How successful is IUI without fertility issues?
Unexplained fertility means that you have a good egg count, a healthy uterus, open fallopian tubes, and a good sperm count under all normal conditions. Your success rate if you’re in this category is 7% to 10% per cycle. If you combine the treatment with fertility drugs, the success rates can increase to 15% to 25%.
How many IUIS does it take to be successful?
Each cycle of an IUI has about a 10-20% success rate, on average, for women under 35. The odds of successfully conceiving rises with the number of attempts. Therefore, you have about a 30-60% chance of having a baby after trying 3 times.
Which is fertility drugs are used with IUI?
The fertility drugs given during an IUI cycle often include clomiphene citrate (Clomid) and aromatase inhibitors (e.g., Letrozole). You will start on these medications early in your menstrual cycle, on the second, third, fourth, or fifth day after the first day of your period.
Who is most likely to have a successful IUI?
Single and lesbian women typically do very well with IUI, even unmedicated cycles, because there often isn’t an underlying fertility issue and are often using high-quality donor sperm. A 2014 study depicted above in the graph shows that lesbian women have higher pregnancy rates from IUIs.
What should my sperm count be for an IUI?
At CNY Fertility, we don’t generally recommend IUI to patients with less than 7 million total motile sperm. A 2015 retrospective study of over 47,500 IUI cycles looked at fresh post-wash total motile sperm count (which can be up to 30% lower than pre-wash counts) and the associated conception rate.
Can you have IUI if you have 4 follicles?
Most women pairing a medicated cycle with IUI will not be allowed to proceed with IUI if they are growing 4 or more follicles. Studies [9] have shown that multi-follicular growth is associated with increased pregnancy rates in IUI with controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH).
The fertility drugs given during an IUI cycle often include clomiphene citrate (Clomid) and aromatase inhibitors (e.g., Letrozole). You will start on these medications early in your menstrual cycle, on the second, third, fourth, or fifth day after the first day of your period.
When do you take Clomid for the IUI?
The IUI procedure is commonly paired with either Clomid (also known as clomiphene citrate or Serophene), or with a class of fertility drugs known as gonadotropins (FSH, hCG, and hMG). Clomid is an oral medication women take for five days once their period begins.
What’s the typical IUI timeline with artificial insemination?
This is a ‘typical’ IUI cycle. There are many variations of this depending on your RE and what works best for you. You can do a natural IUI without meds ‘natural’, with clomid or with stims. This one is with stimulation meds. IUI is a form of Artificial Insemination (AI).
What was the difference between an IUI and a natural IUI?
The former involves taking fertility drugs so that more than one follicle (typically two or three) matures and improves the odds of pregnancy; the latter doesn’t involve medication (so only one egg is released). Because it was my first fertility treatment and we didn’t want to do anything too invasive, we chose a natural IUI.
