Hi Wen,

I just saw my RE yesterday, who is also an endo specialist. We are doing Clomid/IUI this cycle for the first time. He said we have a 15% chance per cycle with it. Unfortunately, we are not in a mandated state, so we would have to pay for IVF out of pocket. Take that, along with the invasiveness of the procedure, and we are not ready for it...yet.

Just a little history on me: Stage IV endo, 1 tube removed. Last surgery was in Dec. RE had us trying on our own for the first 5 cycles. So, at least for us, the RE thought there was a possibility that we could even do it on our own.

IMO, IUI is definitely worth a try. I don't think you're wasting time unless your tubes aren't open. Did you have an HSG? I understand your frustration with wasting cycles. Who knows, maybe you'll get an IUI baby and then be thankful that you didn't have to go through IVF! Best of luck and babydust :)
