Planning a Baby  Discussion Forum

Hi Archie!
Thanks for ur advice. But i got my periods the very next day after posting this message.
I am not able to justify why an IUI would fail if everything is normal with me and my hubby.
Is it normal not to conceive in first IUI even if everything is normal?.

Thanks & regards,

my first IUI also failed , from what i ahve read it happens many times ..

so were you on any medications ?? how many follicles did you have ??

The chances of conceiving thru' IUI is generally higher if your husband has a lower sperm cout, you have ahostile mucus or you have more than 1 follicles ...

IUI also depends alot on the timing because the washed sperm, though closer to the egg does not survive as long as the normal sperm ...

in my case, my IUI failed and i got conceived teh very next cycle naturally ..!!

so dont lose hope over the failed IUI ..there is light at the end of tunnel for everybody ... i ama classic example of that :)

Goodluck,
-P archie replied. IUI does not make any miracle besides sperms are entered in fallopian tube. The chances of success are only 20% and thus it means it can lead to failure just like natural conception.
Yes, know plenty of examples failed with series of IUI.
Most importantly you should stop worrying and stop thinking from the day you have had procedure done. Your stress will work against it.
It also is possible that IUI sometime is not on appropriate timing. It has to be very close to ovulation and not a days before or hour(s) after ovulation.
