Ericcson

Anyone out there considering Ericcson? We may be doing it in September...

Personally, I think it is a big waste of money. The limited data shows increased success for boys for whatever reason.

If you try it, I would plan on 3 cycles to conceive. IUI rates are pretty low. You can use Microsort in Mexico.

I haven't heard very good things about it either :( but please keep us updated if u do it! Good luck to u.

I am starting to chicken out - I have the clomid so I may just use that as part of a general sway. I am really concerned about multiples from the IUI too as I previously had a spontaneous triplet pregnancy (lost two and have one DS from it).

[mis2ninos]

sorry to hear about your losses :(

I'm sure you're already aware that the clomid will increase chances of multiples too, do you need clomid to conceive?

[onehealthybaby]

Clomid is prescribed with the ericcson method - I don't need it to get preggers.

[nuthinbutpink]

Whoa. That would make me nervous too. I'm all for trying something that makes you feel like you are doing something rather than nothing to increase your odds. You can do a natural IUI but they just say the odds are pretty low. If it isn't expensive and you can give it 3 tries or so, go for it.

I understand Clomid is used with Erricson but you said you were thinking of using it as part of a general sway so thats why I asked.

I was going to try Ericcson last year, but after I met with the physician was just so discouraged. There was not much success in his numbers and it appeared as if I would have to try multiple times. This particular doctor kept pushing IVF.

I was thinking about this last night and unless you're going to be closely monitored, I'm not sure I would do the Clomid, Ericcson or no. They should do an ultrasound to make sure you're not hyperovulating before you either are inseminated or DTD. I don't want you to end up as Octomom 2! :)
