Need some IVF/IUI advice
This week we had our follow up appointment with our New RE. Things look good but she presented us with something we are having a hard time deciding between.
Little back ground. We've been TTC for 3 years, Two years my issues were ignored as just unexplained weight gain after a miscarriage. A year ago we found I have PCOS, I'm overweight because of it. On Thyroid meds, have a vitamin D deficiency,and take metformin. We are trying to get my levels better. We've been doing meds for a year and we've done 3 clomid cycles with no results. We switch to a new RE whose aggressive which we love but I could use some advice from people in our shoes.
We have enough money to do one round of <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a> through our insurance ( thankfully my company has a 10,000 life time infertility bank that they let you have/use) or we have enough money to do 5 rounds of <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IUI</a>. Our RE Feels that since we have the insurance money we should do <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a> first. However it's only a 60% chance because of my other issues that it will work. The <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IUI</a>'s have a 20% chance of success. Her thought process if we do the <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IUI</a> schedule first we might run out of money and then can't do the <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a>.
We are extremely conflicted because all we've ever wanted is to be parents and we are trying to make the best choice but it's hard to say we only have 1 shot vs 5 but we just really don't know what to do. Does any one have their thoughts?
Honestly my hubs and I are trying to make the best choice but we really don't know what to do. Yesterday I spent most of the day crying because my heart is torn. We don't really have people to talk to we are the first to experience infertility in our family. Our RE says she's gonna support anything we decided I'm just afraid of picking the wrong option.
