Real IUI Success Stories: Follicle Sizes, Sperm Counts, and Outcomes

Reading real-life IUI success stories can provide hope and clarity during a difficult journey. Below, we’ve gathered relatable accounts covering different follicle sizes, sperm values, and medication protocols to show what’s possible.

Successful IUIs Stories

One IUI, Two Months of Proxeed, and a Perfect Outcome

They were facing low morphology and motility, challenges that can feel overwhelming. But their fertility specialist had a plan.
He recommended her husband take Proxeed, a supplement available on Amazon, twice a day. They committed to it, staying consistent for two months.
Then came their first IUI. Just one cycle. And it worked.
They got their BFP on the very first try, proof that the right guidance, a little patience, and targeted support can truly change everything.

When She Took the Lead

 
Everyone said move on to IVF. That’s what the specialist recommended too. But she wasn’t ready to let go just yet. Something told her to try once more, even if it didn’t make sense on paper.
There were no clear answers, tests all came back fine. Still, the pressure to jump to the most expensive option felt unfair. So, she laid it out plainly: one more IUI. Letrozole (preferred over Clomid due to side effects). Trigger shot at the right time. Progesterone suppository after ovulation. Nothing fancy. Just what felt right.
She wasn’t in perfect shape. She smoked. She was stressed. She didn’t overhaul her life or load up on supplements, just a prenatal. Yet somehow, this time, it worked.

Male Factor Infertility (MFI) and a Successful IUI Journey

 
They were diagnosed with Male Factor Infertility (MFI), and their doctor recommended seeing a urologist first to explore any possible treatments. From there, the plan was to try 3–4 rounds of IUI before moving on to IVF if needed.
On their third IUI attempt, they got the result they had been hoping for, a positive pregnancy test. Despite the challenges of MFI, IUI worked for them.

Successful IUI After Doctor Recommended IVF

 
Their first fertility doctor, who also specialized in IVF, strongly pushed them toward IVF, emphasizing its higher success rates. Despite raising concerns and wanting to explore other options, they felt unheard.
Frustrated, they decided to seek a second opinion. Their new doctor had a different approach: he recommended trying three rounds of IUI first, explaining that for patients without additional complications, IVF wasn’t always the immediate next step.
They moved forward with IUI, and on their third cycle, they got pregnant.

IUI Success Stories by Follicle Size

Two Chances, One BFP: Her 19 & 18mm Success

That morning, she had two hopeful follicles, one measuring 19mm, the other 18mm. That very night, she took her trigger shot, holding onto hope.
It was just the right moment. One of those two gave her the most beautiful result, a BFP.
Sometimes, it only takes a pair of quiet contenders to start something life-changing.

From 18 to 22: A Growing Follicle, A Growing Baby

At first, her follicle measured 18mm. She triggered the next day, and by the day after, it had grown to 22mm, right on time. That cycle, everything aligned just right.
Now, she’s 12 weeks pregnant.
A little growth made all the difference, and now a new life is growing because of it.

The Power of One: A 30mm Follicle and a BFP

That cycle, she had just one follicle, measuring a bold 30mm. It was her only chance that round, and though the number felt big, the uncertainty felt even bigger.
But that single follicle was all she needed. It led to her BFP.
One follicle. One shot. One beautiful beginning.

One Follicle, Two Miracles: Her 23mm Surprise

She had just one follicle, measuring 23mm. It seemed like a quiet, simple cycle, just one chance. But that single follicle held double the magic.
It gave them identical twin boys.
Sometimes, all it takes is one… to change everything, twice over.

From One to Four: Her Second IUI Success

Her first IUI felt so promising, she had one strong follicle measuring 25mm. But despite the hopeful signs, that cycle ended in disappointment.
Then came her second IUI. This time, she had four follicles, ranging from 16 to 20mm. More chances, more hope. And that was the one, it worked. Her BFP came after a journey of learning, patience, and not giving up.
Sometimes, it takes more than just the perfect number, it takes the perfect moment.

One Follicle, One Miracle: A BFP with a 19mm

She had just one follicle, measuring 19mm. No extras, no big numbers, just one. And that one was enough. Against the odds and expectations, it led to her BFP.
Sometimes, all it takes is one.

Natural Timing: A 25mm Follicle and a BFP

The day before her IUI, her leading follicle measured 25mm, no trigger shot needed. Her body knew what to do. Trusting the process, she went through with the IUI the next day.
Sometimes, it’s all about the perfect natural timing, and for her, it worked out just right.

A 25mm Miracle: Her Journey to a BFP

After her follicle measured 25mm, she took the trigger shot that same Monday night. Then came the waiting, 36 hours of hope and anticipation, before her IUI on Wednesday. The result? A beautiful, life-changing positive. Her BFP.

The 25mm Follicle

She received her BFP (big fat positive) after tracking a 25mm follicle. That morning, she’d gotten a positive OPK right before her scheduled follicle scan. Just to be safe, she went ahead with the trigger shot. The IUI was done 24 hours later. On the left side, there was also a 16mm follicle, offering even more hope.

Successful IUI Sperm Count and Motility

From 1% to a BFP: How Fertility Blend Helped Make a Miracle

They did the cycle, holding onto cautious hope. His motility had been a concern, just 1% before starting supplements. But with time and consistency, things changed.
He began taking Fertility Blend for Men, a supplement recommended by their RE. By the time they reached this cycle, his motility had risen to 25% prior to the wash.
And at 13dpo, they got their BFP.
Proof that progress matters, persistence pays off, and sometimes a little help makes all the difference.

One Follicle, One Tube, One Miracle Boy

She had just one follicle, on her left side. The side with no fallopian tube. And after the wash, the sperm count came back at just 3.7 million.
By the numbers, the odds were low. But she believed, and she was right.
Now she’s 26 weeks pregnant with her miracle baby boy.
Because sometimes, it really does only take one.

Double the Joy: Two IUIs, Two Successes

They had two IUI cycles, each with modest post-wash counts: 12 million in the first, 9 million in the second. But both were successful.
It just goes to show, you don’t need sky-high numbers when everything else aligns.
For them, it wasn’t about the count, it was about timing, persistence, and a little bit of magic. Two IUIs, and two beautiful outcomes.

Back-to-Back and Better Than Ever: Their IUI Success Story

For their successful IUI, they chose to do back-to-back inseminations. The first day brought in an impressive 187 million sperm, and the second day, 86 million. Count was never the issue, but motility had been a challenge.
With the help of supplements and a bit of patience, his motility saw a huge improvement. After the wash, it jumped to 86% the first day, and an incredible 97% the second.
That cycle worked, it was the one. Proof that the right timing, a strong plan, and a little help can make all the difference.
