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 ??
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.
