[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are in the same boat, after meeting with our doctor, we decided to do one more IUI (our third) and then move to IVF. There is statistical evidence to support up to 3 IUIs being effective, given the right circumstances (like no tubal issues) but after 3 it's the law of diminishing returns. We also thought we could avoid IVF at all costs but frankly the number of appointments and time that has gone into the IUIs to date, is close to equaling one IVF cycle with a higher success rate and the potential for embryos to freeze and do FETs for after. Ultimately though, you have to decide if the time and money is worth it. I've known people to do 6 IUIs and get success on the 6th one, though the ones I know had IUIs covered under insurance.[/quote] Interesting because I’ve actually heard that your chances go up more after doing 3 IUIs. I have two friends who did 3 and then got pregnant on the 4th and 5th round. [/quote]
