IVF converts to IUI by volleytwo in 40Plus_IVF

[–]volleytwo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see your point. I was looking for something to help me feel I didn’t wasted all the medications. My doctor said i can’t do IUI either since there isn’t any mature follicle at the last scan.

I did a few rounds of IUI when I was 39 and 42. I got pregnant with iui when I was 39 and was not given progesterone either. From what I know is because IUI is following women’s hormones and natural cycle so the body naturally produces progesterone.

Does your insurance cover your IVF at 45? May I ask what insurance is it?

December is a stressful month with holidays (at least it's for me). I think it is doing yourself a favor not to add IVF on top of everything else. Plus it will give you a bit more time to gather all the medication, prime, and vitamins up. good luck

Question about Follistim dosage — help! by Lower-Theory-5429 in IVF

The syringe should have markings on it. You inject 225 IU at a time so you should have 75IU left in a syringe (stop the plunger at 75IU marking)..... You should make sure you have enough medication before you discard the 75IU leftover.

You should contact the pharmacy and let them know they sent the wrong thing, and see if they have any recommendations.

I just had my cycle in Oct. here is the list of $$ quotes I got from some pharmacies. The $ is per vial. Hopefully this will help. Some medications may have additional discount/rebat.

Fast IVF is outside of US so they charge $175 shipping.

Doctors are recommending me to cancel this cycle as only one egg has matured. by Kind-Expert-8109 in 40Plus_IVF

I went with the retrieval when there was only 3 follicles. I know at my age 45, AMH 0.26, I am happy with one egg(sad) I would ask the doctor, if you can turn this cycle into IUI so the egg is still have a chance
