How many IUI's to get your BFP?

We had our first visit with our RE on Wednesday and it went really well! Our new doc is great! She's going to put me on Clomid and use the trigger shot, followed by back-to-back IUI's. We're going to do the first one in the office and the following one at home. If that goes well, we'll probably do the rest at home. She said in most cases people get their BFP in 3-4 months. That would be so awesome! We took the summer off, and we're going on vacation next month, so we'll start trying again in September. We're so excited and feeling hopeful!
Just wondering how many IUI's it took other ladies to get their BFPs?

Baby #2 (still in utero): 2nd try. On that try, I placed one IUI vial outside the cervix in the vagina.
with my second daughter i got pregnant on the first try using 2 vials ICI. i didn' temp and used line opks until they were positive-ish and then used digital opks. so more vials per cycle and digital opks made the difference for me.
Unmedicated RE IUI - BFN
Clomid RE IUI - chemical pregnancy
Injectibles RE IUI - BFN
Unmedicated home ICI - BFN
Unmedicated home ICI with two IVF vials - BFN
Unmedicated home IUI - BFP identical twin girls
EDD 12/13/2013
It's identical TWINS! They're GIRLS!
7/20/2013 Sweet Baby A lost her battle with IUGR.
8/26/2013 Feisty Baby B was born via emergency CSection 16 weeks premature
M - second try at home, ICI
Mommy to Twins plus One - donor 733
#1-3- One vial ICI at home unmedicated
#4-5- two vials one ICI and one IUI at home unmedicated
#6- One vial ICI at home unmedicated- BFP
Timing was a big factor for me and temping really helped to figure it out that I don't ovulate until 40 or more hours ofter positive opk but with the trigger shot your timing will hopefully be much better.

Just curious, but did you use the same donor for all 4 children? thanks!

Our daughter took 13 cycles to conceive, with a short break for an early loss conceived during cycle 12. Several of the cycles in the middle of that stretch were done ici in a doctor's office - all three of our pregnancies were achieved at home, though. We used four vials during the cycle that brought our daughter to us, just like our son.
Best of luck - we found acupuncture to be incredibly helpful.
