[quote=Anonymous]Hi!  I was in a fairly similar position.  I have a high AMH, and my dh has low morphology but normal counts/motility/etc.

It's debatable whether I fall into the PCOS category or not...I have somewhat long/irregular cycles but usually ovulate, and I'm normal body weight.  My first RE just called it 'excellent ovarian reserve'.  I'm also on the young side for fertility treatments (28).  We tried two (unsuccessful) IUIs before moving on to IVF.  We considered trying one or two more IUIs, but I was getting impatient, and the IVF process takes awhile (especially if doing PGS testing, as we were due to a previous miscarriage due to a chromosome abnormality).

My first cycle at GW was a total bust - 12 eggs retrieved, but no blasts that could be used or frozen.  I switched to Shady Grove for my next cycle and had a great result - 22 eggs retrieved and 11 made it to blastocyst stage and were frozen.  (9 were PGS tested normal, and 1 inconclusive, so I would provide counter evidence to the assertion that PCOS or high AMH eggs having a higher risk of being aneuploid)

I highly recommend Shady Grove, based on my experience.  They were pretty aggressive in terms of stims, but I had the Lupron trigger and did not get OHSS.  Overall, I found the process to be relatively easy and had only minimal discomfort after the retrieval.  If IUIs are covered by insurance, I would try a couple first - even if they are unsuccessful, they get you used to the process of going to the doctor all the time and waiting for the nurse to call back with next steps.
