IVF and egg quality

Lu

I was recently told different things by two different doctors. Not sure what to think. Maybe someone can help explain.

One doc said I should go straight to

IVF

given my age and conceiving trouble. He said

IUI

isn’t really worth the money.

Another doc said,

IUI

is a better bet for older women. He said that older eggs are extremely fragile, and that most of not all don’t make it past removal to make

IVF

worth the time and money.

What have you all heard, what are

IUI

vs

IVF

prices in your area?
