[quote=Anonymous]In my opinion single women working with donor sperm (especially if you are on the older side) should not waste time and $$ on multiple IUIs. The sperm itself costs upwards of $1,000 per try. Some clinics like SGF ask you to keep backup in case there is a thawing problem. In the end, I spent more than the cost of a round of IVF on 3 IUIs that didnt work. IVF yields a much better chance for success. I also think hands off monitoring can make an IUI a wasted attempt. At SGF I was instructed to use at-home pee sticks to see if I was close to ovulating; this can easily lead to a mis-timed procedure. I would ask for a blood test to track ovulation. [/quote]
