Thanks! > >-- >holly >mild endo and IC > Hi Holly, I had infertility issues with my endo and my husband and i tried naturally for 6 months and then started chlomid with IUI for 8 months. I had no luck so the dr. did a lap and found endo again. He cleaned me out and we tried naturally for 2 months. Nothing happened. We then did IVF and conceived. I would say do what is in your heart. After 14 months of no success naturally or with meds and IUI we decided IVF would be the best course of action. Our dr. wanted to do IUI again after 2 months of naturally trying and we said no, IVF is our next step. Good luck.
