[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Should add my iuis were very expensive, just around 10,000 each due to the amount of meds I required. However, my insurance didn't cap on the amount just simply covered three iuis and all required meds/testing/scans. So financially, it's not always a cheap option. [/quote]

+2 That's a lot of meds. I'm going to guess that none of your IUIs were successful?[/quote]

They were not, but my first Ivf was successful at age 41. Yup, I need a lot if meds to rev up my system and to have follicles ready before my endo layer gets too thick.  I'm incredibly laid back and always joke that there is no reason my ovaries wouldn't be chill, too.

The two extra meds were progesterone shots for 12 weeks and synthroid. No thyroid issues, all in normal range, but they wanted it super low. So no big changes in protocol at all. All my cycles were nearly identical, except for retrieval. [/quote]

Why would you be trying to produce the same number of eggs for your IUI as for your IVF? If a doctor aimed to get you more than 3 follicles for an IUI, that is basically malpractice.[/quote]

I grow long and slow. My Ivf cycle was a few days longer than my iui, which allowed a few more to grow. I always had 3-4 follies for my iuis, and had 7 at retrieval. Three fertilized and all transferred at day five. [/quote]
