Whether you choose to become a mother via IUI or IVF will depend on your unique set of circumstances. However, if both are an option to you and you aren't sure where to start, here are some quick notes on each:

IVF

IVF may be the place to start if you have: fertility coverage, frozen eggs from a previous cycle, have tried IUI more than 3 times without success, are considering multiple children and have age related concerns, or if you have been diagnosed with a condition that impacts ovulation. If this is the path you choose, I'm here to support you through each step.

IUI

While IUI still requires monitoring and can include medications, IUI generally feels less invasive for many. IUI success rates can also be higher for a single mother by choice who is not being treated for a fertility related condition, compared to IUI success rates for those being treated for a fertility condition.

Of course the success rates and the chosen path will vary person to person, so protect your own narrative, and know that the right choice is the one that feels right for you. If you want support understanding each option better, please reach out.
