Decision time....

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 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

I think for me I would do the iui. I’ve got pregnant 3 times naturally versus once in 5 rounds of ivf... sometimes it just takes the right egg and you just never know, this month might be a good egg xxx

In the end, it is going to be your decision. I would suggest that you do IUI you never know it might work out. However, if it doesn't take a few weeks to break until you're mentally ready. After that opt for IVF. Opting for IVF is going to be the best decision. Good luck to you. Sending baby dust your way.
