I'm 38 yrs old and just went through 1st IVF cycle which resulted in a chemical pregnancy. Not sure if I want to proceed with a second cycle and was reading about IUI's. Any of you had a successful outcome around this age or should I countinue with IVF?
I began IUIs at age 38, and the docs were very hopeful - almost certain it would work. I stopped for financial reasons after several tries, and I was also under a lot of stress at the time. But it certainly has worked for lots and lots of womenWomen's way - depends on your individual circumstances.
Thanks for your responses ladies!! Reading through the posts I've noticed the majority of IUI's work for the most part after 3-4 tries. I hope I have the strength and perseverance it takes to go through it all, it takes such a toll. I'm waiting anxiously for my AF to arrive so I can begin soon. My beta is down to 46 from 94, will test again in a week to make sure it's down to zero. What an emotional roller coaster.
Best wishes,

Best wishes to all :)
