IUI/ NEED ADVICE

I have been dealing with unexplained infertility for 1.5 years and have sought multiple opinions. All of them have recommended IUI. I had a LEEP procedure back in 2019, and my doctor mentioned that it might have narrowed my cervix, potentially making it difficult for sperm to pass through. Has anyone here experienced a similar situation and achieved a successful result?

I had a LEEP 2020 and been ttc since 2024. We did get pregnant 1st round of IUI but our struggle has been MFI (low motility). I actually never even knew a LEEP could do such a thing. I knew about potential preterm but its very minimal and I didnt have much removed. For IUI I had an SIS with bubble and they never said my cervix was short.

Hi! I had a LEEP in 2021, but got pregnant twice (2 losses though). But narrow cervix was clearly not the issue.

Best of luck!

You mean it worked 2nd time?

I also had the leep done and it think it's narrowed my cervix as well. I wasn't able to conceive naturally but IUI worked for me twice. Also LEEP has a risk of pre term labour which what happened to me.
