[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I do want a second child more than anything. But I am not willing to do traditional IVF. [b]I've done iui with injectibles and that was a negative experience[/b]. I am willing to do acupuncture, supplements and more Iuis or natural cycle ivf. But I am brca positive and have a hideous family history of reproductive cancers, breastfeeding, uterine and ovarian. I know that it is extremely unlikely that I will get pregnant naturally, though we continue to try every month. But I am unwilling to take hormones that could adversely affect my health or cause cancer down the line
This is especially so because I have such a low chance of success with ivf statisticslly. 
 As much as I want a second child I am not willing to put my own health at risk, especially since I already have one child. Does that make sense? [/quote]

I find this interesting.  I understand medication is involved with IUIs.  I also understand it has a low success rate and often takes many rounds, if one of their works.  Which is why I skipped the IUI route and went straight to IVF.  First round of IVF got me a bunch of frozen embryos.  I would prefer to do a round or two of IVF with the medication involved versus do IUI with injectibles over and over again!  Seems like this is a similar amount of medication over time but a treatment that has a much less chance of working.   I also chose to do icsi and pgs testing. I wanted to pursue every treatment option possible on the first round.
