PCOS- IUI or IVF??

Question

Hi ladies,

I've done 5 mixed cycles of either Clomid or Femara plus Menopur, which resulted in ovulation but not conception.

Met with Dr today, and he said I can do <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IUI</a> if I want, but he recommends jumping straight to <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a>.

Hubby has normal sperm, and I have good uterus and tubes.

Any thoughts or personal experiences?

Answer

IUI was a waste of my time. Doing ivf now. Supposedly rates aren't much higher than regular intercoirse if your partner has good sperm

Answer

I'm 26, 5 years ttc. We have done 2 cycles IUI and what feels like a million of timed intercourse. I would give it at least 3 months of trying IUI before moving onto ivf. Take it easy the day before and after IUI is my biggest advice

Answer

How old are you?

Answer

Thin PCOS here with 2 failed IUIs on injectables. Both times I was a high responder so they tried to convert me to Ivf but we can't afford it. Never even got a positive test.

Answer

Ivf forsure. Iui is a waste of time in my opinion so we went straight for ivf

Answer

Honestly I did 5 cycles of timed intercourse and wish I would have just done ivf

Answer

We're going with IUI first, but I think only doing 2-3 cycles (my first one being this month). I've read that success rates for women with PCOS with medicated IUI is around 15-20% so I figured it's worth a shot.
