[quote=Anonymous]For me, ivf was somewhat worse but only for a few days. The lead up to the retrieval with the 3 shots a day (Lupron, gonal f and Menopur) and constant monitoring visits was annoying and time consuming but not a huge deal for me physically or emotionally. Close to retrieval, I was very uncomfortable and very bloated (25 eggs retrieved) and then post retrieval, I was very uncomfortable for a day or two. The transfer was not a big deal at all. The tww is emotional torture but you have that no matter what. In the whole cycle, I missed 4 days of work. All this to say, ivf was somewhat worse for me physically than iui but mentally worth it because chances for success so much higher. I would say go for it if you can afford it. You can always stop if it becomes too much. [/quote]
