I just found out today my 4th IUI didn't work. We have also had 3 IUI's go into cyst or hyperstim on puregon. It's been over 2 years of ttc. They don't know what is wrong with us, nothing has been found... I've even had a lacaroscopy, and my husband has been tested. I take fish oil, raspberry leaf tea, do pretty much all the tricks.
When do you know to call it quits and start saving for IVF?

I'm sorry to hear that you've been having such a tough time. We've been ttc for 15 months and there is nothing wrong with either of us. I've been on clomid for almost a year and we've done 2 iuis. we were suppose to go yesterday for our 3rd, but DH panicked and couldn't produce, so we lost a month. My insurance mandates 4 iuis before ivf-my advice to you is that it can't hurt starting to save now for ivf-i'm not sure what your insurance covers as far as the # of iuis? It's really frustrating!
