Success Rates-ICU with clomid and trigger shot

Hi Ladies!
As I posted this week, I got my devastating BFN on Thursday after my first natural IUI.  I am now back on the horse!  My AF started yesterday-I start clomid tomorrow, go for my ultrasound and trigger shot on 3-10 with IUI to follow on 3-11, as long as my follicles are good.

Anyone had success with this or any words of wisdom??  I was feeling so down this week after my BFN but am now trying to be positive starting my new cylce.

Thanks girls!

Hi there-
thanks for your response.  Unfortunately we did 4 IUIs and none of them were successful so we moved to IVF.  That did work for us on the 1st try!  

Are you starting IUI"s?  I know they are very successful for many people-my issue ended up being the quality of my eggs, which my RE would have never been able to know without doing IVF. So I am wishing you the best of luck!!!

My dr told me that success rates are around 8% with injectibles (like Follistim) and iui. I would think Clomid would have about the same success rate.  If you notice, clinics publish their ivf success rates, but not their iui success rates...
That said, I do know someone who got pregnant with iuis twice (on the second try each time).  She was on pretty high doses of injectibles (225 follistim).
I would ask your dr about his or her success rates.
Good luck!
