[quote=Anonymous]I can't speak to the response, but I do know that one reason doctors have you start with IUI is to see how well you respond to stims before bringing out the big gun drugs and the five-figure procedures. What kind of blockage is in your tube? Is it a hydrosalpinx? If so, you should have it removed laproscopically before starting IVF. (And most doctors will tell you that, too.) The fluid in there (really just bile) can wash back from the tube into the uterus, not only making it harder for them to implant because of wave action, but also because the fluid itself is toxic to embryos.
