This is really not true. IUI is the easy one - a quick injection to bring on stimulated ovulation, a quick insemination, see what happens. Worked for me on the first try (admittedly at 36, not 39). I also had an easy time getting pregnant, just not staying pregnant - so once I was pregnant I had to take a bunch of meds to stay that way, but thankfully it worked.

IVF, unless it's natural cycle, is far more invasive.

If it were me, I'd give it 2 or 3 cycles of IUI because that is literally 2 or 3 months. Whereas each IVF session is several months. Of course, you do take the risk that you cannot test the embryo, so if you are very worried about age-related issues, IVG with testing would make more sense. At 36 I was not that worried. At 39 or 40, might be different.

OP, I am sorry you've gotten such nasty responses. It wasn't like this until a few months ago. There are some nasty trolls on all the boards who love to just be mean. Good luck with whatever choice you make. Hope it works out for your family.

I posted after I was essentially raped by my RE three years ago, asking if people have had ultrasound contradictions; he induced a high-risk pregnancy on a very thin C-sec scar without my consent. I got the nastiest comments you can imagine. I got terrible care for the scar (my providers were trying to run out the clock without it being scanned) I ended up pitching a temper tantrum in a biophysical profile clinic. It was so thin it was not safe for me to wait for the booked 40 week C-sec. If it had ruptured out of the hospital my baby would have died. There are some really dried up miserable c--ts on the forum, really the worst people you can imagine. They're probably all hotshot scumbag lawyers, politicians, feds, really goes very far to explain why the world is so f---cked up, these people move among us pretending to be human beings

That should tell you that you were too old.

I've been losing pregancies for over 3 years because my doctors were incompetent and over confident. Simple blood clotting disorder and untreated PCOS (which they all also refused to treat).

Women become subhuman garbage on their 35th birthday, didn't you know?
