Secondary IF

Intro and ??

Hi ladies!  I just wanted to jump in finally and say hello.  My name is Amy and I have PCOS and a possible egg issue.  I was blessed enough to concieve DS on our first cycle trying.

We have now been trying for #2 for 1.5 yeas with help of a RE for 6months.  We were just given the green light to start our fourth medicated cycle, but I have a feeling it will end the same as the last one, no response.

 Now for my question.  How many cycles did you go thru before having the IVF talk?  We haven't even done an IUI yet and my dr. is already talking about IVF.

TIA!

Re: Intro and ??

  • Welcome. I hope your stay is short.
    I did two medicated cycles and then three IUI. Most RE switch things up after three trys. If you are open to IVF I'd go that route, better odds.

  • I jumped right into IUIs because of a cervical factor.  We did one IUI w/ clomid and then 3 IUIs with injectables/letrozole before moving to IVF.  If you have insurance coverage for IVF or if you have the funds to do it, then if it were me I'd jump right to it.  But, that is easy for me to say after 4 failed IUIs!  Good luck!
