lab values--- I'm questioning IUI on Sunday

I expected to discuss my day 3 labs today at the RE when I went for my U/S (we redid them since it's been over a year since we did them before).  But, they didn't have the results and asked me if I had even done the labwork.  The U/S did show at least one really good follicle and the RE told me to trigger tonight and do the IUI on Sunday morning and said I should set up an appointment to discuss more options/testing after the IUI.  The nurse called the hospital and got the missing lab results and called with the info after I left.  I didn't get to talk to her, I missed the call and just had a VM.  My FSH was 15.7 (way too high) and my AMH was 0.25 (way too low).  

I did do the HCG shot tonight, but I am really contemplating not bothering with the IUI-- it seems like it will just be a waste of time and money. I want a sibling, but how beneficial can an IUI really be with lab values like that??  Thoughts??

    Well the IUI is just a couple hundred, right? You've already done all your meds and triggered, so at this point I'd say you're too invested to quit if you don't really HAVE to. I would go for it and just hope for the best.

    I did the IUI today.  I talked with the RE about the labs and he felt they shouldn't really effect the IUI. The 2WW has begun.

    Good luck! Try not to stress too much about the lab values- most doctors won't progress with a cycle if they don't think pregnancy is possible.

    I'm three days post IUI...the wait is awful!
