[quote=Anonymous]I'm the PP who just got pregnant from iui.  We tried for 11 cycles (4 of which were using clomid or femara) after our ectopic before moving on to iui.  To be fair to my RE, he was not pushing ivf. His advice was to turn to ivf if medicated cycles and timed intercourse didn't work for a year after the ectopic surgery.  We were impatient since it took us 7 cycles to conceive the ectopic.  Another major consideration was that our insurance does not cover fertility treatments.  The RE advised that the most bang for your buck, so to speak, is to avoid multiple iui rounds and instead focus on ivf.  We planned to do a single iui round and then do ivf.  FWIW, I'm 32 and we conceived our first child naturally and easily when we were 29.  Annecdotally, it seems that iui works wonders for some couples and never works at all for others and it seems unclear which category you will fall into before you try it.  I think everyone should try it at least once  - it's minimally invasive, it's far more affordable, and you may get lucky.  [/quote]
