[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]100% IVF. So easy. It’s basically the same thing as iui except for the retrieval. Iui is a complete waste of money, time and energy. I would never recommend it. [/quote] This is really not true. IUI is the easy one - a quick injection to bring on stimulated ovulation, a quick insemination, see what happens. Worked for me on the first try (admittedly at 36, not 39). I also had an easy time getting pregnant, just not staying pregnant - so once I was pregnant I had to take a bunch of meds to stay that way, but thankfully it worked. IVF, unless it's natural cycle, is far more invasive. If it were me, I'd give it 2 or 3 cycles of IUI because that is literally 2 or 3 months. Whereas each IVF session is several months. Of course, you do take the risk that you cannot test the embryo, so if you are very worried about age-related issues, IVG with testing would make more sense. At 36 I was not that worried. At 39 or 40, might be different. OP, I am sorry you've gotten such nasty responses. It wasn't like this until a few months ago. There are some nasty trolls on all the boards who love to just be mean. Good luck with whatever choice you make. Hope it works out for your family. [/quote]
