IUI Update

magspmagsp member
in TTC after 35
Our RE called today and said after agonizing 2ww we weren't pregnant.  I'm disappointed and sad but I am glad the waiting game is over and we can plan our next plan of attack.  My hubby is frustrated and thinks we should go straight to IVF instead of the IUI route.  I'm not sure what to do but I am chatting with dr. tomorrow to figure it out.

    I'm so sorry.  I guess it's good to finally know.  I hope you, dh, and the dr are able to agree on how best to proceed.

    I'm sorry, mags.  I know how disappointing it is (going through it right now myself).  For me, I had to wait until now (or really, the cycle before now) to be able to get over my fear of IVF and to want to do it instead.  I think you do it when you are ready; of course DH is a huge part of it -- but it is your body that has to undergo it all.  In retrospect of course I wish I'd gone right to IVF -- but I didn't think I'd need to, and I wasn't ready (but I am now).  Have a drink on me and I'll have one on you!
    me - 41 (dx: DOR); DH - 53 (no problems); 7/18/09 - married!; 8/4/09 - BFP on first (real)try; 9/14/09 - missed m/c; 9/15/09 - d&c; 11/09 - 3/10 - 4 natural cycles = BFN; 4/10 - dx hyperthyroidism caused by Graves' disease; 6/10 - thyroidectomy; 7/10 - 12/10 - 1 natural and 5 medicated IUI cycles = BFN; 1/11 - new RE; dx low ovarian reserve (AMH .42; 1/26/11 -- BFP (ectopic) from IUI #6; methotrexate 2/10/11; 6/2/11 - IVF #1 = BFN; 9/12/11 - prescreening for DE; 9/15/11 - IUI #7 (unmedicated)= BFN; 11/8 - begin DE cycle (shared risk program); 12/5 - ER (5 eggs/4 mature/3 fertilized/2 left by day 5) 12/10 - ET of one 1BB blast (expanded, "fair" quality), none to freeze; 12/22 - totally shocked by +hpt; beta #1 = 413; #2 = 3952 2/14 - CVS reveals a healthy baby girl! EDD: 8/27/12 DD born 8/31/12, 10 lbs 10 oz and perfect in every way.

    Oh I'm so sorry! That must be disappointing. I hope that the direction to take is clear and mutually agreed upon.

    I'm sorry.  FWIW DH and I decided to skip our 3rd IUI and go straight to IVF.  We'll be starting the injections in January.  Keep us posted and I'll do the same.   -Pix
