AF arrived today so technically I start the round 4 and last one of IUI... the only reason I’m doing a 4th round is I paid for the first one individually, then a package of 3. However I think I am going to give my body a break and go the. Straight to IVF. Have a review with my consultant next Friday as o booked it thinking the last IUI wouldn’t be successful and wanted to discuss iVF. But knowing the low chances of IUI and the fact I would have a break between that and before starting Ivf I think I’ve decided not to put myself through IUI again. I haven’t even spoken to my husband yet I hope he agree. I just don’t see the point prolonging it and trying something again that’s low chance and not working just because I’ve paid for it. Am I thinking straight? Xx

Oh poor you having to make this decision. It's so uncertain. Have a good ol talk with your husband. And just be happy that whatever you decide is the next step is what it is. Trust your feelings.

Ah that’s a tough one. I guess there is no right decision, you just need to go with what you think is best.

They do say the more IUI you have, the more your chances of success increase but the chances are small so I see what you mean about just moving on (I only did 1 IUI and moved on).

I sat just talk it out with your husband, and go from there. Good luck! x
