    I had three negative IUI cycles. I was on clomid and ovidril which produced ample follicles. IVF is not covered under our insurance and 12,000.00 with no guarantee is very expensive. Is micro-ivf advisable? Is it advisable to do a fourth IUI which is covered under insurance? i had been going for acupuncture which I didn't do for the first three IUI cycles.

      I prefer to have entire history which would influence my decision. Issues such as your age, duration of infertility, cause of infertility, your antral follicles count, AMH, day 3 E2, FSH all play a role. Personally, I weigh heavily a covered cycle vs. having to pay for uncovered cycle but at some point it does make sense to move to more aggressive treatment.

      MicroIVF in general has about 3 times the success of an IUI and costs 3900. Some groups, age, diagnosis do better with MicroIVF than others.

      In additioon, we do have income based grants and a study which will significantly lessen the cost of a full stimulation IVF. If you prefer to discuss your personal situation directly email me at dkreiner@eastcoastfertility.com or call 516-939-2229 for a consultation. Free consultations are available if you are not covered by insurance.
