How many rounds of medication timed intercourse w ovidrel would you recommend before going to IUI? No male factor. I’m 39- turn 40 in April. Had success with timed Intercourse w my first when I was 36. So far 2nd round, testing negative, 6 days before period. Trying to plan and prep to take my mind off the negative

At just about 40 years old, I would suggest going to IUI now. And consider IVF if IUI doesn’t work within a few cycles, if that’s a possibility for you. Unfortunately, time is just really working against us once we hit our mid 30s.

Thank you - this is helpful.

I did 1 TI cycle at 33 before moving to IUI. Depends on your personal timeline.

As a side note, I didn’t test positive any TTC cycles until 10DPO.

36 hrs post trigger here! I’ve absolutely heard of women not testing positive until the day of their expected period. So staying positive for you with a guarded heart - my motto of the journey 🫶🏻

Would probably depend on the price difference. Price was pretty similar at my clinic so we only did one TI and then went to IUI.

Since you are almost 40 I would go to IUI now, try maybe 2-3 rounds and then consider IVF.

I have seen varying statistics, but the ranges I have seen in my research seemed to imply 2x to 4x more likely with IUI.

Advice and/or consolation anyone? My wife and I (both above average health 30year olds) were trying for 11 months before getting pregnant and then had a week 5 early miscarriage a few months back. If the stress and surprise of just how difficult it apparently is to get pregnant wasn’t enough, the miscarriage put us over. We got back to it and have been trying for the last 2 months again, still no luck. We’re freaking out… all we want is a family. Any similar stories? Advice? 😢
