The PITA appointments are the same with IUI and IVF.

This may be true for NCIVF (I wouldn't know), but it's absolutely not true for medicated IVF. It is a[b] far far more involved process than IUI.[/b]

If you have a 15% chance of IUI working per cycle, I say keep your expectations in check and do it.[/quote]

Than a medicated IUI?[/quote]

Yup. With my medicated IUIs, I usually had to go in twice before the IUI itself. With an egg retrieval, I probably had 10 appointments before I got to the egg retrieval day.[/quote]

With my IUIs, I had to go in basically every other day at first and then daily toward the end. I guess it's different for everyone. The only difference for me was retrieval which was stressful, but considering the odds are much better, I was happy to do it. [/quote]

Clearly depends on the Doctor. My iuis and Ivf were nearly identical. The only real differences were retrieval and a few more meds. Just as many appointments, scans and blood draws. [/quote]
