A - cool that you're the new host of the pg board!
I've heard exactly what you said - that according to medical statistics, doing two IUIs doesn't increase your likelyhood of success very much. I also did 1 IUI per cycle for a long time because it didn't seem like it was worth the extra sperm $.
At this point, however, I'm pulling out all the big guns. I'd rather spend sperm money than go on and on for years with this process. I just don't want timing to be a deterrent anymore. Clearly I have other barriers - I just don't know what they are.
Sheen - my first cy with my RE, I decided to just do one (though she recommends 2) because it didn't feel like good timing. My cervix wasn't open, I had to run back to a work meeting right after the IUI...it just didn't feel "right" and decided not to waste my money on a 2nd vial and IUI. This last cycle, it did feel right, and we did two.
I'm lucky though. Our sperm bank is here in town and we pick it up instead of having it shipped so I can really come by on a moment's notice.
