Hi Monica...so I'm guessing your dh's fsh were on the low end...what was his motility?

also for your age you might want to look into a more aggressive more which would be Injectable Gonadotropins with IUI....and even IVF+ICIS....

Monica his motility is borderline you might want to talk to your dr about IVF+ICIS...that will get you a better chance in ttc...good luck and pls keep us posted!!!!

Welcome Monica!

Trying Clomid upto 2-3 times with this semen analyis is Ok...People with PCOS taking Clomid have 22% chance of having a live birth with 6 attempts, but in your case, attempting these many attempts may not be wise because of age

Injectable gonadotropins with IUI can also be attempted upto 3attemps...

But always a good idea like angel states to think about IVF as it will give the best chances

Dear Dr.

Today i went to see my doc, as i did my first IUI in the month of july but result was negative .

Today for this cycle she gave me clomid 50 twice from Day3 to day7 and also she asked me to take Progyuton (white only) from Day 8 to Day 12 .Would like to know what is the benfit of taking progyuton.

She asked me to come on day13 also she is planning for an IUI this month.

Also if possible pl do let me know what would be the reason of geeting IUI negative which I done last time.

When i did IUI in the july my DH report was

pre wash-actively motile-50,sperm count 78m

Post wash -actively motile-90,sperm count 13.

he was on clomid 50 for 3 months.from july onwards as per doc advice stopped taking clomid50.

Pl help as we are now very much worried.
