Hey there! So, you’re on a journey to expand your family, and you’re probably wondering how many Intrauterine Inseminations (IUIs) you should go through before considering a leap to In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). It’s a common question, and honestly, it’s not a one-size-fits-all answer.
Most folks start with a few IUIs, usually around three to six cycles, as it’s less invasive and can be more affordable. But remember, every individual’s situation is unique! Factors like age, overall health, and the cause of fertility issues play a big role in determining the right path for you. For example, if you’re over 35 or if there are specific fertility concerns, you might want to consider moving to IVF sooner rather than later.
Also, it’s super helpful to have a chat with your healthcare provider, like Dr. Sarah or Dr. Mike, who can provide personalized advice based on your circumstances. They might suggest tracking your cycles and hormone levels, which can help in deciding when to switch gears.
