Question
Hello!  I had a laporoscopy for stage III endo in Feb. 04'  I took clomid in May days 3-6 and had an HSG shot. Had 1 Follicle which turned into a cyst. Took birthcontrol 1 month.  Tried Clomid again days 5-9 and double HSG.  I had three big follicles on July 30th and did IUI. Did ultrasound 31st  12pm and ovulated all 3. What are chances of pregnancy with 29 million good sperm and three eggs?  I've had cramps but home test is negative after 9 days and is a 25m test.  How many cycles should we do of clomid/iui, they are 5750$ cheaper than invitro?  Will blood test be accurate day 10 after IUI? going crazy please answer

Answer
Hello,

Your odds of success, Raina, depend on a lot of factors I don't know about you (including, and not limited to, your age, expertise of your fertility doctor at having treated your Stage III endo, your body mass index, your cycle day 3 FSH and E2 levels, TSH level, motility and Kruger morphology of the sperm you were inseminated with, and the proper timing of your IUI).

I'll keep my fingers crossed!
