Has anyone here actually delivered an IUI baby?

I'm wondering if we are waisting our time and money. It seems like there are a lot of IVF babies but I can't remember any IUI babies.

I'm not one, but I know there are some here. I don't want to out them (I'm sure they'll speak up), but have faith it does work sometimes.

If you need some hope, go post on the SAIF board. They are really sweet girls and there are lots of them with IUI success stories!!

My good friend has two children. Both were IUI babies.

I know of at least 2 gals on the Houston board with IUI babies.

We'll have to wait for the testing to find out what went wrong, but I don't think our pregnancy failed because it was an IUI instead of an IVF. I guess if we had done IVF we could have done the pre-transfer genetic testing but I don't think that is standard for IVF.

We're going to do at least a few more IUIs once my cycle starts back up again. I don't think I could handle doing IVF right now but we have done so many IUIs that it feels pretty routine. Also, the nurses and staff know us there by now so I think they will be a little more sensitive with regards to the emotional side of things.

However, if you are OOP, you may want to go towards IVF because the success rate is so much higher. Do you know why you experienced your losses? Is it something that IVF could have avoided? It wouldn't hurt to have that discussion.
