Success rates for a IUI /Interesting Facts about TTC

What is the success rate for IUI?A: Searching through about a dozen medical journal articles and a number of web sites resulted in a rather wide range of statistics. Basically the odds of success are reported to be just under 6% and as high as 26% per cycle. The low statistics are with one follicle, while multiple follicles resulted in as high 26% success. Another influencing factor is sperm count. Higher sperm counts increase the odds of success; however, there was little difference between success with good-average counts and those with high counts. The overall success rate seems to be between 15-20% per cycle, judging from the articles which will be abstracted below. The rate of multiple gestation pregnancies is 23-30%.

Q: How many follicles give my best chance of getting pregnant? A: According to different studies, either 3-4 follicles gives one the best chance of getting pregnant, while more follicles beyond that simply increases the risk of multiples. The U.S. study said 4 follicles, while other countries have data stating 3. The U.S. has a higher rate of multiple births, so 3 may be more likely to be the correct answer.

How long after IUI should implantation occur? A: Implantation generally takes place 5-11 days after ovulation -- so 5-11 days after a well-timed IUI.

This is how the baby’s gender is determined:
Each of the man’s sperms and each egg carry 23 chromosomes. The sperm and the egg combine at fertilization for a total of 46 chromosomes which come in 23 pairs.
The 23rd chromosome is called the “sex-chromosome”. In sperms it is either an X- or a Y-chromosome, while in the woman’s egg it is always X.

If an X-bearing sperm fertilizes the egg, the resulting 23rd pair is XX, a girl, and if a Y-bearing sperm fertilizes the egg, the result is XY, a boy.

It is therefore the sperm that decides the baby’s gender: X-bearing sperms result in girls, and Y-bearing sperms in boys.

In general, X- and Y-bearing sperms are about equally distributed in the ejaculate, so each time there is about an equal 50-50 chance for each gender.

My Horoscope ..... from different things .....

Thanks to the very positive air trine, which will benefit you in a more subtle way, you should find that you can achieve or succeed in a matter that up to now has been causing you a few headaches.


It may not be a great time to run off to Vegas, but you are running through a streak of good luck.

You could be in the middle of some big life changes, so it's important that you express all of your thoughts, feelings and ideas. It's fine, of course, to keep some of it to yourself,

I asked a pyshic and this is her answer : The odds are likely that it will happen soon.

I asked a genni: Something that you have been working on very diligently is about to pay off!

Your question:
"am i pg ?"
The Cyber Seer says:
" There's a really good chance! "

it's like haven a EASY BUTTON !!!

I think someone from above os helping me out this cycle .... Im so calm this is nothing like me ..... to be ok with the UNKNOWN !!!
