Ivf cycle converted to iui

[Mrs W 11]

Hi all,

I was told today that as one of my follicles has gone wildly into the lead, a second is quite far behind and 4 others are not responding, it's best to convert my ivf cycle to iui.

Although dhs sperm is fine, I will have to pay a similar amount for the scans I've had if I don't do iui so cost wise, it sort if makes sense. Our issue is me, I have low amh.

Just wondering is many others have been through this and what the outcomes were. Any advice or anything?

I can tell you that I tried IUI's for a very long time but have never done IVF. There were some cycles of IUI where I had like 10 mature follicles and didn't get BFP or ended up with a singleton (but lost it). On my last IUI I forget how many follicles there were but it must have only been 1 or 2 and I was so upset. Well this one stuck and I am almost 39 weeks along. I know we all hate to hear it (I know I sure did) but it does only take 1 to be successful.

Best of luck to you!

Thanks ttc first and congratulations!! How does that work if you had 10 mature follicles with iui, what if all 10 had fertilised and implanted?

Thanks Mrs W 11. I was willing to take the risk, with my age and history it's not likely that all would take. I haven't had any more than 2 take at a time. At that point I didn't care how many I had I just wanted a baby.
