Stats & $$ /IUI, IVF...

rachel_va · 03-30-2006, 03:23 PM

I thought I'd share the stats my RE just gave me in our meeting. My dh and i have been dx (after they ran an assortement of tests and procedures on both of us) with "unexplained infertility" recently.

Following is statistical rundown and the $$ which I thought might be interesting to someone in a similar situation.

As a 37 w/ unexplained infertility our RE says our chance of conceiving on our own is ~ 5%/cycle, w/ IUI/Clomid ~10% ($600), w/ FSH/IUI injectables ~ 18% ($3K) and ~55% w/ ivf. (b/w $12 & $15K)

Of course this was info from a consult w/ me and at my particular clinic (in a large metro area) You may get different stats/#'s/$$ .

Rachel (37) DH (35)
IUI w/ 50mg clomid -cancelled did not ovulate
IUI w/ 100mg clomid- two follicles, bfn

Hi Rachel!

Just wanted to say welcome. I've never done IVF before but 55% is a great stat!!!
Good luck with whatever you decide.
