Success after IF

Second IUI or IVF?

Hi girls,

I did my first iui 12 days ago and today it became BFN with HPT. Do you think that it is wise to try for another iui or go for IVF instead and not waste the time?

Did anybody have the same experience?

(TTC for about 1 year and 2 month, Me 30, DH 32 IUI #1: I had one mature follicule with 50 mg clomid and one iui cycle before this first one was cancelled due to having 19 follicules through puregon 75ui., for iui#, DH had a good sperm count around 235 million with very high motility).

Re: Second IUI or IVF?

  • I would do another IUI. You respond well and your DH has a good count. I got pg on my second IUI but the stats from my first were perfect. Sometimes it just doesn't work.

    Are you OOP? Is IVF covered?

  • What do you mean by OOP?

    yes, IVF is covered here.

  • I would try another IUI. I had success on my third. GL!

  • Good for you TJ.

    How many follicules did you have when you got your BFP? what was the change in IUI #3 compared to other two?

  • I would definitely try another IUI.  Your husbands count is amazing!  Good luck.

  • thank you so much TJ fo rthe info.

    I will see my RE next week and will discuss about it. 

    Did you have any rest  between you IUIs?

  • I would do another IUI.

    For us we did two IUIs, neither worked and then we moved on to IVF.   Years later we went back to IUIs and the second one worked.

    We did one that was just femara and then when that didn't work right away the nex

    Secondary infertility success with IVF, then two losses, one at 14 weeks and one at 10 weeks, then success with IUI and then just pure, crazy luck.  Expecting our fifth in May as the result of a FET.

  • thank you so much itsmevkb. 

    how is femara different from follistim?

    Is there any direct effect of medications used for ovaries stimulation on egg quality?

  • My RE recommends up to three treatment cycles with one particular treatment before moving on. If you have insurance coverage I would do up to 3 IUIs. If you are OOP then I might change my opinion. I am so sorry about your BFN. (((hugs)))

  • actually I have tried injectable like puregon 75iu, but it developed 19 follicules and the iui cycle was cencelled. I am noy sure even with lower dosage could develo less than 4 follicules?!!

    Do the follicules really get affected for their q

  • Thank you so much Dragonfly, I hope so, I am so frustrated!!
  • First, what is your diagnosis?

    Personally, I would try a couple more IUI's before going to ivf.

    IF DX: DOR & Fragile X pre-mutation carrier
    2011: FSH 13.3 & E 99; AMH 0.54 2nd FSH 6.2 E 40's AFC: 8
    BFP from Clomid/IUI ~ Pre-e and IUGR during pregnancy ~ DS born 9/4/12
    Feb./March 2013: AMH less than 0.16 (undectable) and AFC = 4;
    BFP from supps ~ DS#2 due May 2014

  • I really have no idea which one is correct to do more iui or go for ivf?

    is there any difference according to your experience if for next iui, I 'll go for injectables? more mature and high qualified eggs? more chance of conceiving?

  • I would do 2 more IUIs with clomid then move on. It seems like you respond well to medication and if you go too aggressive you will overstim and have to cancel the cycle.

    Also, what does your RE say? But I think just because it didn't work t

  • Thank you itsmevkb.

    That sound a good suggestion, I will discuss about it with her on next visit.

  • I would try another round of IUI. My first was BFN with 3 follicles and his count at 134 million. The second IUI I had 2 follicles and his count was 204 million with a progression of 4 and I got a BFP.

    Good luck!!
