: I'm on my third round of injectable drugs (Follistem and Repronex), after failing to ovulate on my own. How many cycles should I go try? I don't want to torture myself forever, but I want to give it a reasonable shot. What are the chances of success with 6 cycles? Is there anything I can do to maximize the chances of conception?
It is reasonable and usually recommended to continue ovulation induction with IUI for 3-6 months in order to give that regimen a fair shot. The success rate over that time varies with your age and response to the medications.
Review these questions with your RE who will be able to provide you with more tangible numbers so that you can make a well-informed decision regarding future cycles, by weighing your ability to invest emotionally again with your chance of pregnancy in that cycle. Good luck!
