Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The success rate of IUI varies between 20-25% per cycle. The treatment as suggested to you by your gynecologist is appropriate. The injections you have been given are natural hormones present in your body. So, these are well tolerated and do not show any major side effects.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
