I have done 3 IUI's and all have failed so far.

IUI #1: IUI same day as trigger (RMA's protocol)
IUI #2: IUI 24 hours after trigger (my request)
IUI #3: IUI 24 hours after trigger (my request again)

I just started my cycle for IUI #4 and requested to space out my IUI 36 hours after my trigger to see if that works and the nurse on the phone made me feel dumb for even requesting that. She basically said my doctor would NEVER recommend that and that sperm lives in the uterus for up to 5 days. I thought fresh washed sperm lives for only 24 hours?? So confused why there was so much hostility over my request for a 36 hour time frame.

Can't repost here because of pics of my tests

Okay this might be a weird question but my OCD brain won't stop thinking about it... I had my 3rd IUI a week ago and I noticed the sperm sample was not as pink as usual and was very pale (I know the pink is from the wash medium they use). First two IUI's they were the same shade of light pink. Has anyone else noticed variation in the color? Now I'm spiraling and thinking the sample was messed up...

Hi!

Just had my 3rd IUI yesterday 6/16 and looking for friends to get through this TWW with!

HSG 2 months ago - clear/patent tubes

Letrozole 7.5mg CD 3-7 (previously on 5mg)

US ON CD 12 showed THREE follicles!
- 23 mm on Rt, 21mm and 19mm on Lt
- First time ovulating from Lt ovary since starting IUI's
- Previously only had 1 or 2 follicles

Uterine lining 12.5

Trigger 24 hours before IUI on CD12

IUI #3 CD13 with ~ 10 million sperm (fresh)

I'm feeling hopeful this cycle. 3 follicles and 3rd times the charm? 🤞🏽

Edit to add: We have MFI and I have low AMH
