Mini-IVF and "Banking" vs. IUIs
Posted: Thu Nov 19, 2015 5:37 pm
Hello,
I was referred to you by my RE in the Bay Area who said you would have good data on Mini IVF cycles vs. IUIs. (It looks like you call them low-stim IVF there?)
I am 41 years old and on my second medicated IUI. I had a low response on my first round to Menopur/Follistem (3 follicles) and am now trying Clomid to see what if any difference there is.
My question: Would it be advisable to stop doing IUIs and move to several Mini-IVF rounds, in the hopes of retrieving enough eggs to get a viable embryo(s!?) for transfer? Or am I just as likely to be successful or unsuccessful with IUIs? I'm concerned about my eggs getting older as I try multiple IUIs.
Thank you for your insights...
