Ivf over iui

Samantha • Sun, Nov 09

Can you choose to do ivf? I'm trying as a single mom by choice and don't want to waste my time and money doing iui. I would like to jump the bullet and go all in with ivf. I have pcos and have never really had a natural period. I only get them when I'm on birth control. So is it possible to choose ivf over Iui? Especially when I can pay out of pocket for it.

Thanks.

Yes, I think it would be possible to jump right to IVF. Just find a good fertliity dr and go from there.

I think it is possible, or maybe just depends on your RE. Sure can't hurt to ask and make an appointment for a consultation. Best of luck to you and ivf!

Out of pocket, yes probably. We could not with insurance as they required IUI before going to IVF.
