So...after reading my paperwork

gervaisj6

From my re's office on their iui stats, it says in the paperwork...that in 10 cycles over half are pregnant and 70-80% becoming pregnant within 12 months.

Well, it says specifically over half of the patients at my clinic have conceived in 6 cycles of donor insemination (where there are no female issues).

Well,.doing the math 11,463 is what it would cost for 10 cycles..I am already thinking about ivf...is that wrong? Is 10 cycles a lot? Or common since it is a donor cycle? I know this is only my second month, but it has really gotten me thinking...I am 32...10 cycles? I am not sure of my clinics SART stats...I guess I need to check into it...II am feeling hopeless, thanks for listening, sorry to ramble.

10 IUIs is a lot!  I have done 7 and I wish we would have stopped at 4 IUIs and moved onto IVF, since we wasted so much time.

I would schedule a WTF and discuss IVF options.  GL to you!

I am not sure where your post went Sabre...It looks like I am talking to myself.. I have been know to do that too...

I know...i think that is the national aversge using donor sperm...but my clinic says 6 for them over half are pregnant...it just seems SO far away...

 

The RE wanted me to schedule a WTF, So I will probably do that tomorrow...  I think she is trying to do as much as she can cause she knows we are using donor sperm, and it isn't like we have an unlimited supply... We have 2 more vials left...

My sister thinks she might me trying to change my protocol... or just acknowledge  my bffn...I don't know... but if it is just to acknowledge it and stay on the same protocol- I will keep my money for a video conference..

10 IUIS....Ugh.. I did five and now I'm moving on to IVF but we weren't using donor sperm but hubby's sperm was frozen...Good luck to you!

I know, right?!  I wanna just move on to ivf, but, if that doesn't work, I will feel like I jumped the gun...we'll see what the RE has to say...  but if we are talking like 17,000 for a shared risk program with 10,00 back if it doesn't work, I might want to just look into adoption...   And I don't even know how that  works with donor sperm...  I never imagined that this would be my life right now. : (

10 is a lot.we did 6, but #3 worked, so I just felt like it would again.

10 IUIs is a lot, IMO, for anyone.  We switched to IVF after 3 donor IUIs because the cost vs success rates of IUIs just didn't make sense.  We would have spent the same amount on 3 more donor IUIs with injectables as we did for IVF with a 60-70% success rate vs the 20-25% success rate with IUIs with injects.

10 is a lot. 

My doctor said 3 and then ivf but he was confident in the three. I wasnt ready for ivf a the time so we went for a 4th. Knowing what we know now we didnt really have a chance with the iui's but thats ok, cant go back nor would I change anything.

ditto this

we switched after 3 IUI's to IVF, we have unlimited IUI coverage and some IVF but for us success rates is more important
