Ok, thanks so much Dr. Q. I guess I thought I'd be pressured to transfer more than one embryo. But if the odds are still good with one...well, then we need to make a decision. Yes, we are young..I'm 27, dh is 30. Thanks for your input!
To IVF or Not to IVF...that is the question for Dr. Q
January 02, 2008
Ok..so we've been ttc baby #2 for 18 months..#1 came on first try..no meds. We have unexplained secondary infertility. Dh sperm count is great. My eggs are big and I do ovulate on my own. All hormone levels look great. We are headed on round 5 of clomid and 4th iui. The second round of clomid/1st iui ended in chemical pregnancy. We are considering ivf but do not want multiples..and are concerned with all the shots/medications..as I tend to be pretty holistic. If I was your patient, Dr. Q, would you suggest ivf or try a few more times naturally if this last iui shot doesn't work? I appreciate any feedback!
Thanks so much and happy New Year!!!

IVF is always a great option and is always part of the arsenal and can always be recommended for those that are tired ttc, but is a personal choice in those who are younger and have no other outstanding problems...
With IVF, you can elect to have a single embryo transferred to not have multiples, and in actuality is the best route to go for this, so long as you're under 35. I know the shots are scary, but most accept them as part of the treatment to get the FertilityTies Stork to arrive at one's home sooner...
