We did the iui's as we could not afford ivf at all. We had $6000. set aside which gave us 3 cycles. It was really hard when the last cycle came up negative. I wanted to keep going but DH just couldn't watch me go through it anymore. The only IVF clinic near us is 4 hours away and each cycle costs $20,000. We chose to move on to adoption after our "limit" was reached because at least then there's a tax credit of $11,000.00

Good luck with your choice. Try to remember that $$ is not the only deciding factor. The stress and emotion were harder than the money for us.

On the plus side we conceived our DD in one cycle the first time around so miracles happen every day!
