  I (34) have PCOS and DH (29) has low morph. We did two IUIs on letrozol and Ovidrel trigger with no success before moving onto IVF. Def ask about what kind of monitoring you will get-- BW to confirm ovulation? Progesterone check day 21? Progesterone support if needed? Beta or HPT?
  
  I'd also ask what the realities are for you two and what your RE feels is a realistic timeframe for doing iui. Our odds were only around 5% at best with IUI. A lot depends on what your insurance covers. But mostly, just enjoy the feeling of moving forward and making progress in your journey towards parenthood. That was my favorite part. GL!!!

  Hey there Cherish,
  
  Your story sounds just like mine. I'm a bit ahead of you though. I just did my 3rd iui and am currently in 2ww. My cycle has really taken til this cycle to be normal and ovulate though. Feeling proud of myself for not bleeding now (small victory!). Also took few cycles to find I needed7.5 femara. I'm sure your re knows. Give iui a chance. Mine said sometimes as many as 5. I read a pcos after 5 has 80% chance to have gotten pregnant. Just breathe. It'll happen!
