View Profile | | New here « on: 03/28/08, 11:13 » | Reply with quote Hello everyone. I am new to this site and I'm feeling like I need to talk to others who are going through similar feelings and decisions to make and to also listen to any advice that can be offered. My husband and I tried to conceive using a donor with 3 IUI's about 2 years ago with no success. We just recently adopted a baby boy and we're so in love with him. Now we're trying to decide if we should pursue adoption again or undergo more fertility procedures. We know we want at least one more child for sure. We're trying to decide if we should try IVF or do more IUI's. How many IUI's are a reasonable number to try and do I need to undergo more testing to see why I haven't conceived with the 3 I've already had?

Try a  few more IUI's if its affordable for you if that doesn't work well then you know to move on to more agressive treatment...Good Luck.. Congrats on your baby boy! If you should need more advice  we are always here for you!
