  Hmmm, that's hard.  I kind of think go big or go home.  I think I might just BIO at home and save money for the next round.  It sounds like that's what you're leaning towards.  

  Happily Mrs. C

  Still save if there is more than 1 egg this time? or only save if there is 1 egg?
  

  
  

  
  
  

  My History:
  Lots of BFN's & failed IUI's w/clomid and/or femara
  Finally BFP with femara & t.i.- son born 6/17/2010
  Started TTC again around when DS was 3ish
  Lots of BFN's with femara & t.i & ovidrel
  Tubes clear, S.A came back low motility but high count
  About to switch to injectables w/femara, did one last cycle with just femara & an IUI with ovidrel- stupid motility was fantastic in the sample, but count was 700,000 AFTER wash! Had to sign a paper to even still do IUI- BFFP (big fat freaking positive) Go figure!
  1st Beta 13dpiui 54, 2nd beta 48 hours later 115, 3rd beta 48 hours later 310, 4th beta 72 hours later 1748.

  I don't know the success statistics of 1 vs multiple but I think if you are looking at finances on a cycle per cycle basis than just save a little if you'll be in a slightly more comfortable position next cycle.

  If you are OOP and you just have 1 egg, I would save up for a better cycle. You can always try TI so it wouldn't be a total loss. Good luck.

  CD 12 check this morning- 1 on right @ 14mm, 2 on left 15mm, 18mm. They took my progesterone to see if I am close to ovulation. If I am close, trigger tomorrow & sex because only 1 egg would be ready for a Sunday IUI. If I am not close, I can trigger Sunday night, and do an IUI on Tuesday with 2 eggs, maybe 3 depending on growth. I would want confirmation of how many eggs tuesday before IUI. Now does that timing sound right for the sunday night trigger, tuesday IUI- they are closed monday... Is the tuesday one timed good that it is worth it?
  
  Let me know opinions please...

  Well, the trigger will help all of them develop a bit more, anything over 15mm is potentially mature, so I would count on all 3 of them being ready (think positive!)  if you had to trigger tonight- My last IVF cycle was very similar, I had a bunch that were just under 15mm the day of trigger, but by retrieval (which would be your IUI day) they were ALL ready to go, all were mature, and all fertilized that cycle (so hopefully that will give you some hope )

  IUI #3 5mg Femara + trigger = BFN

  IVF #1, Stimmed for 12 days, ER 8/22/14, 9 retrieved, 7M, 7F!!  Freeze all due to fluid in uterus.

  FET end of October 2014 cancelled due to fluid in uterus due to possible c-scar defect

  Surgery scheduled 12/12/14 to fix possible isthmocele

  3/26/15 transferred one 8 cell grade 4 embryo and one 6 cell grade 3 embryo = slow rising betas for 2+ weeks = ectopic MTX shot 4/29/15

  Repeat c-scar surgery June 2015

  2nd and last IVF cycle August 2015, stimmed for 12 days, 2 egg retrieved, both mature and both fertilized.  Transferred both 8-cell embryos on Day 3, beta 9/5/15 = BFFN

  MOVING TO ADOPTION!
