Op here. Second IUI worked for the first kid.

There’s nothing to skip to.

Well good luck then. Sounds like you may have an easy time with IUIs and the doctor you used?

Whatever you decide, please avoid JHU fertility.

Your RE would have lost business from me, then. I got pregnant on first IUI, no fertility drugs except a trigger shot, at age 38. When it came time to try for 2nd kid, we did 3 unmedicated IUIs once again...pregnant on #2 and 3 of those at age 41. Unfortunately both of those pregnancies ended die to anuploidy. However, I still had a 75% overall pregnancy success rate with unmedicated IUIs.

Wait: did you mean GW does IUIs, or did you mean they specialize in treating morphology?

I can't imagine an OB would be set up for this. An RE like SGF has the integrated lab for same-day bloodwork, early morning hrs for daily monitoring etc. Let alone th lab to process the semen sample and then any experience or the right setup to do the procedure.

That said I did IUIs with SGF and they all failed (until IVF worked)
