Answer 1

It can work the first time!  You have about a 20% chance of conceiving and if you have taken any fertility drugs, this rate can be higher.  I have had an IUI done and unfortunately it didn't work for me.  The way I cope is I try to think of the positives for not getting pregnant this much ( for example: spontaneous vacations, I can have a drink if I want to, I get to sleep in etc..although, I'd happily give it all up).   I also come to yahoo answers to help me.  There a re a lot of nice people on here that are going through the same think as you and it helps to have the support.  I wish you the best of luck with everthing and I will pray that this will be your month!!!
