Femara (letrozole) with or w/out IUI??

Question

I'm 40...I have a 2 yo. We have been trying for #2 for 1 year (I was preg in March but miscarried at 7 weeks). I am going to start on letrozole next week if I get AF (due Sunday). My RE said the IUI will only increase the chance of getting preg by 5%. It's only $215 to do IUI (if I understood correctly). Is it worth the effort for 5%? Thoughts appreciated! Thank you!

Answer

I would do it with the IUI. That's what I am doing right now, femara with IUI. I personally believe the 5% increase is worth a few hundred bucks.

Answer

Your chances of success is lower bc you are over 35. Generally IUIs only give 15-25% success which is the same as TI. I'm 31 and DH 28 and we have unexplained infertility. We did 4 IUIs and no success. All IUI does is bypass the cervix where millions of sperm die. The egg still has to be found and fertilize.

Answer

I'm on the same boat. 40 trying for #2 so far letrozole 2 cycles. I want to try iui but it's more money in Arizona . ;(

Answer

Anyone else?

Answer

Personally I think IUIs are a low % success rate because it's hard to time. If you've gotten pregnant on ur own then i would try with timed intercourse first. It's what ur heart feels right for u.
