Don't know what to think - trigger or real BFP??

Thanks. I'll be trying again very soon! I was told that their gender success rate is around 75-80%, towards the higher end of that range for girls. Pregnancy rate is the same as any IUI. I do injectibles (Follistim) since I need that for ovulatory dysfunction anyway, so my chances of pregnancy are somewhere around 20-25% probably. They charge $750 for the IUI with sperm sort, not including monitoring for a medicated cycle. I trust them very much, as they're a well-respected clinic. My RE is routinely named the best in the area by various surveys, so I feel like he knows what he's doing.

That's great! Do you happen to know what they quote for boy attempt? 20-25% is really high for IUI...if that is their real stat, that is great!

I think the 20-25% is only for IUI with injectibles. I doubt it's that high for clomid or unmedicated cycles. Also, I respond to the meds really well, so maybe that has something to do with it. I got pg with DS3 on our first attempt with injectibles (first 3 kids, we didn't have any trouble at all - must be something to do with my mid-30s age now!).

I don't know their boy success rates, other than what they told me, 75-80% overall. If girls are at the high end of that range, boys must be at the low end. I'm anxious to see how it works out for us. Will be thrilled with either gender, but it's worth a shot to try to sway the odds towards girl.

$750 per try isn't too bad. Good luck and when you cycle again, please post in the HT area so we may follow along! I would love to add another HT option other than IVF since Microsort is no longer available. Maybe other would like to try this IUI as well!

Will do. I didn't post in HT last time because I figured it was just for IVF/PGD. I'll be trying again in a few weeks. Starting bcp's today so we can get the timing to work out around Thanksgiving & Christmas. Will be going for baseline u/s & bloodwork on Nov 28th & starting injections if all looks good then. I'll post once I know for certain that we're starting the cycle. Thanks!

No, not at all! IUI/Spinning is definitely HT too! It's a great option and much less expensive! Good luck!
