Should i try IUI - Infertility Message Board

sadend · 08-01-2004, 06:50 PM

I have been on two failed rounds of injectables repronex and ovidrel trigger shot.Does anyone think that for the next cycle i should look in to doing an IUI along with the injectalbes.The problem is with me not DH though.
I dont ovulate due to anorexia that i had about 7 years ago . I am at a pretty normal weight though 109 and 5'4. I also think that next cycle i will cut out all caffeine and i will not walk on the tredmill as i usually do 5 times a week. Any Advice would be greatly appreciated.

22 dh 25
2 rounds of repronex with ovidrel HCG tigger shot
TTC for 4 months

Hi there! Just curious what your dr says. Usually they put you on a plan of trying "this" for so long and then moving onto "that". I know that when you read about IUI, you will see that it is used alot for male factor IF. We are trying 3 rounds of IUI and then moving onto IVF. Our reason is kinda different...it is neither one of us! My DH's count is great. I found out in March that I have endometriosis, but none in my tubes or on my ovaries which would effect my fertility. I am 36 and really would like to have more than one child (but will take what I can get

) . My dr said that we needed to "fast track" our plans before my endo moves to areas that could pose a problem later and, in turn, this would help solve some of my pain from the endo if I get pg. The success rate goes up considerably doing the injectables with IUI together and it is a lot cheaper than IVF, so why not try? We tried this month and did not get pg on the first try, but plan to stick with it! Don't give up hope!!! And let us know what you decide!
