Hi Sabby's Mom,
Good luck to you. It is so hard to make these decisions. I am doing IUIs with Femara. Clomid really messed up my cycle and gave me a cyst. Actually, the Femara gave me a cyst this cycle too, but at least didn't give me a 72 day cycle. I also had a failed IVF previously. I don't know. When the eggs are older, I think it is a matter of just finding a good one and cycling through enough of them to improve your odds.

Hi late,
When you mentioned good eggs I thought to ask if you are taking anything to improve the quality? I have read about lots of supplements that help. Since I was ignorant for so long I though I would check, I'm sure you prob know more than me but it does no harm to check.

Thanks, Latetothegame. I'm still trying natural IUI's. I will have my 6th one in the next couple days. I may break down and try chlomid next month if I don't conceive this month. This is the last month that I can get pregnant and still deliver while I'm 42. If I get pregnant next month, I will be 43 when I deliver and that worries me.

Kerzie, I take CoQ10 and Royal Jelly for eggs/ fertility. I've been taking the CoQ10 since February, but just started the Royal Jelly this week.

I took Clomid x1 cycle of IUI and Femera x5 no success, I used sperm bank sperm, took a break then used a known donor and home insemination with cycles clomid and 7 weeks pregnant, I will be 37 when baby born. Use the drugs my suggestion I needed it related to my hormone levels... How did things turn out for you?

Thanks for your reply! I did try clomid for IUI 7 and 8 with no luck. I've decided to do IVF this cycle and I start that medication tomorrow. If IVF doesn't work I'll be throwing in the towel. I'll have exhausted all my options and credit at that point.

Hi sabby,
I'm sorry things haven't worked out for you yet but don't give up. If you take a break remember you can always "do it yourself" at home, who knows if the pressure is off and your relaxed at home it might just work. Best bit, no medical bills, you just have to get some medicine syringes and some sterile cups. You can put a cushion under your butt, watch telly and give the swimmers all the time they need to find their way ????????
You always have options sweetie and it will all be worth it when you hold a wee baby in your arms. Don't ever look back in life and wonder what if....
