Trying To Conceive, Did IUI Due To Blocked Tubes. IUI Failed, Got Periods. Reasons For Failure ?

Dear Doctor I am 34 years old & from India, mumbai. I am trying to conceive since 4 years however no luck. Since Feb 12 I have consulted gynac. Both mine & husband s initial reports were ok. Later thru laparoscopy we found one of the tubes are blocked. My eggs do get ruptured. Last month I had done IUI on 30th & 31st Oct but yesterday I got my periods. But this time while IUI My husband s sperm count was only 4 milion as compared to 70 mil he had during the initial reports. What could be the reason for failure of IUI & what should I do next treatment?

Hi,
Reason for failure of IUI are multiple. First only one of two tubes is open, which itself reduces chance of pregnancy by half. Second count during IUI of 4 million has very low pregnancy rate. Third, even if everything is fine, IUI doesn't give you pregnancy rate more than 25%.
Regarding further treatment, if count improves, you can try superovulation with injections & IUI. If count doesn't improve, IVF is best option.
Wish you good luck.
