Need Advice

So are 3rd attempt of IUI failed. My DH and I have decided to get another opionion from another doctor about IVF. We have an appointment on Jan 23rd. Does anyone have any advice we should ask or if there is a higher chance of getting pregnant. My frustration is starting to boil as I am sure you all understand!! Thank you very much!!

Much needed support!

Then we will wait to see what happens

The dr. will look at your history and give his opinion.  You can ask why he/she thinks that the iuis did not work and what the chances of success are with ivf.  I do think that the success rate of ivf is higher than iui.  Usually I try to think of questions but the dr. answers them before I get the chance to ask.  Good luck!

IVF success is a higher chance depending on the diagnosis. I'd check your RE's SART rates to see what their success is. For me, I only am concerned with the pregnancy % rates as its never happened for me and I'd at least like to get that far. Second opinions are always a good idea when in doubt. Just ask what type of protocol they'd recommend (like what medications, supplements, tests beforehand) to get something to compare to your current RE.

Best of luck!!

Thank you very much. I was suprised that the nurse told me they did not want my old doctor's records before our appointment. i think i am going to call them and tell them to please have the records before hand. Again, thank you for your advice. it is much appreciated.
