[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, but I don't think I was as far in as you were. I said I wouldn't do IVF, only IUI, and when the RE said that IVF/ICSI would be needed with a 20% chance of success, I called it. (I want to be very clear that I'm not anti-IVF; I'm glad it's an option, but it wasn't the best option for me personally.) Due to a number of factors, adoption had a 99% chance of success and so that's what we did. I understand the urge to keep trying once more. I wish you well.[/quote] That was us, too. We tried IUI with no success. The doctor recommended several other procedures prior to IVF to increase chances of successful outcome and I said no. It just felt like too much - unnecessary medical procedures, too much money, too much stress, too much uncertainty. At the time (almost 15 years ago), one IVF cycle was about the same cost as international adoption, but was far less of a sure thing. Best of luck.[/quote]
