I'm so sorry I don't have any advice. How many IUIs have you done with different meds/injectables/etc? What is your RE's opinion? Personally, if my RE wasn't super confident that a 6th IUI would work, I would be moving on the IVF. FWIW, close friends of ours did 7 IUIs before moving on to IVF...they transferred 1 embryo and it worked the first cycle.
So many ((hugs)) You are in my thoughts and prayers. I really hope that no matter what path you take it leads to a BFP soon!
I'm sorry I don't have any advice but I would probably start IVF cycles, but I'm not a very patient person. I think 5 cycles of IUI's seems like plenty to move onto something else. Hoping the very best for you though! (hugs)
We never got to the point of IUI or IVF, but my RE said from the beginning that if something didn't work for 3 cycles, we would move onto some other treatment plan. If IVF is an option for you, I think it would be okay to move onto that.

First IUI was unmedicated, just trigger shot. Cycles 2-4 were 50mg Clomid with trigger. This last cycle was injectables (gonal-f) with trigger. All also with Crinone (progesterone) after O. I haven't talked to the RE yet since having CD1. My nurse is out of the office so I'll call and see who I can talk to tomorrow. I ovulate on my own and responded well each time. We have secondary unexplained infertility with low count on one of the cycles.
What does the dr think? I would probably move on to IVF bc my patience would get the best of me.
I haven't talked to them yet, just got AF this afternoon. Last time I talked to the Dr was after cycle 3. He suggested one more clomid and then injectables, which is what we did. IDK if we should do more injectables though, seems like ivf is the consensus here and DH and I are leaning that way too.
