any sucess with back to back iui's for ladies age 38-40 yrs old
i know that this question has been posted once before a while back... i just turned 40 yrs old and have tried 3 single iuis and when i go back in aug or early sept i will be doing the double iui, i was just wondering if there are any sucessful stories of any ladies that have tried the single iui with no sucess and then tried the back to back iui's and then have gotten preg.

Hello. Not to be a stick in the mud, but if you are serious about getting pregnant you need to be combining injectable drugs with your IUI's, and it wouldn't hurt to throw in acupuncture too. If a few cycles of stimulation drugs and IUI's don't work then move on to IVF right away. Doing IUI's without injectable stimulation (forget Clomid, it is for 30 year olds) is a waste of your valuable time and money. You still have a chance of success at 40, but every year after that it gets harder and harder if not impossible. If you haven't had your hubby/BF checked out then he should get a semen analysis too. Just telling it like it is. Good luck and baby dust to you!
i will be starting on my next cycle the back to back for the first time... i had 3 single iui's and nothing but alot of follicles... i hope it works at some point because the re doesnt seem to be able to give me a reason of why i am not getting preg except he keeps telling me about my age... but i hope something happends with doing the double iui... and i wish you both the best of luck with a healthy preg soon.i will update this once i start the process again, i know i will be having different meds, not sure off hand. steph if you dont mind me adding you to my friends... thanks you for the response. and once again good luck and keep me updated... christina
PS We have had a single IUI that did not work, and then last month I did not even ovulate with the clomid. The RE said that this is due to stress when he it happens. UGH!! I have purchased meditation CDs in hopes of reducing stress for this month. He did change the meds and is using clomid with menopur this time. I am feeling bloated, so I am hopeful that it worked this month -- I did not have the achy, bloated feeling last month.
