Crossing everything for you 😉 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/re-and-iui#post-2890465 Tue, 09 Jul 2019 15:22:15 +0000 BlueWolverine 2890465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My RE took one look at my initial testing numbers and told me it would be best to go straight to IVF. I was 38 at the time. We weren't willing to spend that much money (no insurance coverage). We elected for one medicated IUI cycle. Watching a few follicles grow on LOTS of stims is so stressful. That baby is now three. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/re-and-iui#post-2890315 Mon, 08 Jul 2019 11:59:36 +0000 Ajsmommy 2890315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good luck! I had terrible numbers too but got pg naturally so it can happen. :goodluck: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/re-and-iui#post-2890249 Sun, 07 Jul 2019 19:43:12 +0000 pachamama 2890249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What a turd. There's more to it than age and lab numbers. FWIW, my RE gave me a way worse diagnosis ("you most likely will not be able to conceive naturally") and I got pregnant naturally 3xs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/re-and-iui#post-2890246 Sun, 07 Jul 2019 19:15:35 +0000 bhbee 2890246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good luck! What a crappy bedside manner though ... I think we all worry enough about those things without them being laid out like that! :goodluck: hope the cycle continues to look good </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/re-and-iui#post-2890226 Sun, 07 Jul 2019 14:32:15 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 2890226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Went in to get started with my IUI cycle this morning. RE told me that at my age (almost 41) 85% of my eggs won’t be viable. He also said that most pregnancies I have will end before 6 weeks. Then he went on to say that basically we better plan on genetic testing because we want to know if our baby will be abnormal. I mean, I knew the statistics sucked, but gosh. Way to be a downer, Doctor! I had 7 antral follicles on each ovary- more than I had with my other two IUIs resulting in my daughters. So, I’m taking that as a good sign. We only get to try this one cycle because of insurance. So, here’s hoping! </p>
