[quote=Anonymous]Background: We are at DF.  Our primary issue is male factor (extremely low sperm count, below 1mm), and testing revealed that I also have low AMH (I think it was 0.57).  I am 30, husband is 31.  We did 2 rounds of natural cycle IVF, and transferred an embryo each time, but both were negative.  Trying to decide whether to go whole hog with stimulated IVF or try natural cycle one more time.  I had been hoping to avoid stims since I ovulate regularly, but this process is really no fun and I'm starting to think stims might be the way to go.

We are paying out of pocket, but will have some insurance coverage for IVF starting in January of next year (will be capped at 10k, so not enough to fully cover a round of regular IVF).

I'm leaning towards doing one more natural cycle this fall OOP (possibly trying an endo scratch first?), then moving on to regular IVF in January if that fails.  But we could also just go straight to stims and pay for the whole thing OOP, which could make the whole process shorter (assuming I respond to stims, which is not a given with my AMH #).  I know it seems nutty not to wait three months to save $10k (especially as I write this out!), but this whole roller coaster is making me crazy and I want it to end.

So this is a long-winded way of saying, did the 3rd (or more) cycle of natural cycle IVF work for anyone?    [/quote]
