Lyrnos - I never had the option for IUI without donor sperm but from what I can understand there are still the same scans and BT's involed. My friends who have been through IUI then IVF wished they went to IVF. It is a rollercoaster but not that bad as long as you approach it postivly. I am on my 5th round and will keep going to we get our little one. Ap is great and I do reccommend it even if it is just for stress
