RP - Move on to IUI/Injectables or IVF?

in Success after IF

Any advice on where I go from here?  I am completely OOP for all treatments.  I am also unexplained.  I have done one cycle of clomid/TI and 3 cycles of clomid/IUI.  I ovulate on my own, but the clomid has helped with my luteal phase.  I got a BFP with IUI#2, but I never saw a strong heartbeat and had a M/C.  I just finished my first cycle after the M/C with clomid/IUI--I had 2-3 good sized follicles, good counts, etc, but BFN.

I am turning 33 soon and told my RE that I want to move onto something with a better success rate.  My RE recommends IVF over IUI/injectibles because of the risk of multiple gestations.  Part of me wants to go for IVF since it has better success rates, etc, but part of me wonders if I should try one cycle of IUI/injectables (low dose) and see what happens.  But, then again, I'm not getting any younger and a cycle of IUI/injectables is not cheap.

Recommendations?  TIA!

    thats a tough one! we did 7 IUI's because we pretty  much had full coverage for them and nothing for IVF. I did 5 IUI/clomid cycles and averaged 1-2 follies each time. IUI #6&7 were with injectables on my BFP cycle (#7) i had 3 mature follies a d this wa a stronger dose than the first monht. I really have no advice, but just wanted to share my IUI story....

    We went right to IVF because we had more control and there is a better success rate.  I figured if I was going to be giving myself shots I might as well do what would give me the best possible outcome.
