On the other hand, different research showed that the two medications had “no significant difference.’
Either way, these studies indicate that fertility medications are important, so don’t hesitate to discuss this in detail with your doctor.
Consider having IUI twice per cycle
To improve IUI success rates, you might need to have artificial insemination twice per cycle.
One research shows that women who had artificial insemination once (before ovulation) only had a pregnancy rate of 7%.
When the researchers looked into the rate of women who had insemination twice (before and after ovulation), they noted that it was higher at 26.3%.
Rest after IUI
According to reports, there is an on-going debate about whether or not a woman should get up after artificial insemination.
One study involving 400 couples revealed that women who lie down for 15 minutes after the procedure are 10% more likely to become pregnant than those who immediately got up.
Apparently, in the group of women who got up immediately, the pregnancy rate was 17%. Remarkably, the success rate in the group who lied down for 15 minutes was 27%.
Even with this study, you still need to listen to what your doctor advises you to do after the procedure.
