Preheated Oven: Where is my bun?: To IUI or not to IUI

To IUI or not to IUI

that is our question. We are trying to decide whether to do IUI#5 with our current RE next week. It would probably be on the same day or the day after our consult with the new RE.

Here are the options:

Do IUI#5 with old RE (about $300)
No IUI this month, just do TI
No IUI or TI this month and take a break
If O holds out until after our consult next Friday, see if new RE will do it (no clue at cost or if they will do it)

I am kind of leaning toward #2 or #3, while DH wants to do #1. If we do #3 I am going to do a 2 week detox I picked up at Whole Foods since I've been feeling crappy since the holidays. And, I think my girly-bits might enjoy not being prodded with a speculum and catheter this month...

Suzanne said...: Well, it looks like I'm going against the norm here. I say give yourself a break.

Clearly, your current RE has not been successful so do you really want to go through the frustration, anger and cost of another cycle with him/her?

I say take a break and start fresh your new RE.; January 17, 2009 at 3:09 PM
