[quote=Anonymous]My husband and I have conceived twice (once with our DS and once with a MC). With our DS we finally conceived after years of trying, when we used clomid and timed intercourse. With the MC we conceived with no assistance. We just ended our fifth unsuccessful cycle after the miscarriage, at first with no assistance, then using clomid and timed intercourse, then clomid plus trigger shot plus timed intercourse. We are trying to decide what to do next as it feels like we need to take it up a notch. We are older now and so trying for two more years seems like it's not a wise option. Does anyone have advice as to whether to keep doing clomid/trigger/timed intercourse for a few more months, trying IUI, or going straight to IVF? We are 33. I'm specifically interested to hear thoughts about trying IUI or going straight to IVF. My concern with IUI is that the issue doesn't appear to be the sperm getting to the egg (DH's workup was fine, my pathways are all clear). Will IUI really give us any more of a chance than timed intercourse has? If the RE thinks its my "bad eggs" that are the problem with conceiving and that caused the miscarriage (that's why she prescribed the clomid), isn't IVF going to be a better option? Thank you in advance for your advice.
