New Here-some questions
I am in the process of deciding what course of action to take-we were recently diagnosed as unexplained infertility. We have one child, had one miscarriage (which took 7 months to conceive) and now we have been trying again for almost a year. We are both over 35.
I think we are going to start with an unmedicated IUI. We aren't totally comfortable doing clomid or other medication, for fear of multiples. Has anyone had a success pregnancy from an unmedicated IUI? The doctor said, right now our chances of conceiving naturally are 2% and doing an unmedicated IUI will bring that up to 10%. Doing clomid will increase it to 15%. I guess I am just hoping that someone can tell me yes they did get pregnant by just doing the IUI!
this is so stressful!!

I can let you know tomorrow. Our first IUI was unmedicated, and tomorrow is the day I go to my RE to find out if I'm pregnant.
Full disclosure: I took a digital HPT today and it was negative.

Im sure there are people out there who had success with unmedicated iui. My dr told us that the odds of twins were only about 5% so we took the risk and decided to try a VERY low dose of clomid. Do what you're comfortable with. GL!

Re: New Here-some questions
I also had unexplained IF, which is so hard to deal with. Have you thought about going to a RE to address the issue? They run many different tests than a regular OB, and they see things that others can't. This may help to clear things up for you and give you a more accurate prediction for your future and your chances with iui.
I did an unmedicated iui and 3 medicated iui (all unsuccessful) before going to IVF. Our chances of conceiving multiples with iui were low, and I later found out how low the chances were to even have a single. Throughout the process, they did not find a single thing wrong.
Clomid in low doses does not produce many follicles like the stims do (Follistim, etc). At most, I had 3 follies on my highest dose of Clomid.
Good luck!
