If so, clomid generally works for people with in 3 months. The fact that you have not ovulated in 6, really drops your chances of getting pregnant (ovulating) while on clomid. Its possible, but unlikely. I took clomid for 3 mos. Used a DOP monitor for the first time in month 3 and got pregnant. I ovulated every month with the clomid (had the blood work to show I did) but didnt begin tracking when to have sex until month 3. Personally, if it were me, Id try the injectible versions of ovulation stimulants first. The cost of IVF is roughly $14K per try. While the ovulation stimulants that are injectible increase your risk for multiples, you cant get pregnant unless you ovulate so if you cant ovulate on clomid having an IUI or an IVF treatment is pointless. Has your hubby had his sperm count tested? If not, I recommend that. Could be low sperm count causing your delimmas. There are cremes that can be provided to increase sperm counts. If you have had all of this testing, then do what you feel comfortable doing. If you are ovulating but just not conceiving and you 'want a baby now' I would save for the IVF and not waste the money on the IUI. The IUI, while it costs less and does work (some times even at the first go at it) only gets the sperm moving in to the tubes so it doesnt have as far to go to get to the egg. IVF will make a baby and then implant it in to you. Some times they dont stick, but if you get the right dr. they have over 50% success rates. Before having IVF ask your dr. what their live birth success percentage is. Its great hearing they have 56% success rate, but if only 13% result in babies being taken home from hospitals, its not that great (know what I mean). REACH is located in the South (North Carolina area). They have a great program and have a 56% live birth rate for IVF treatments. Dependant on what you insurance will pay would depend on whether I would do IUI or not. I know a lady who had 3 IUI's and still nothing. She is planning on IVF next. It just depends how much waiting you want to do and how much money you have to use for 'trial' basis. Another thought, have you had a HSG to check for blocked tubes? I would check in to that too before going in to an IUI. Good luck!"
