...with an 8th IUI? I am wondering if it is worth it to even try again. I've done 4 on clomid, and 3 now on Gonal F.
I won't do it this cycle. I'm exhausted physically and mentally and I don't have enough hope to pull me through, so I'll take a break.
I will regroup with RE as soon as I am up for it, as she wants to do ONE more. I wanted to ask if anyone out there had done so many and actually finally got a BFP.

Thanks Jakeswife. We are both free and clear at this point. I really like my RE, but I am so frustrated (obviously as everyone is). I will breathe and schedule some time to talk to her. After my lap surgery last month, she did say she wanted to try 2 more IUIs. Maybe I'm still healing from surgery???

I think that given the lap you should do another IUI (when you are ready). I did 7 and then moved on to IVF. In hindsight, I wish I hadn't done so many IUIs. It is really draining - emotionally and physically - although had they worked, I might feel differently. I say rest, recoup and be good to yourself...then do another! IVF will be there in 2 months, 3 months or whenever! Good luck!

I am in a similar boat. 2 IUI's with femara, then 2 with gonal f, then a break then 3 more on gonal f... oh and a lap surgery (for endo) in between there.... still nothing for me. I am also resting this month and seeking other opinions. I love mmy RE, but I want to get my body in balance- sick of sore ovaries, painful sex, etc etc.... Good luck to you- I am sure this break will be good know matter what you decide! Take care of yourself.
