Dr. Michael Traub answered

Specializes in Fertility Medicine

Good question: It really depends on the diagnosis. With significant sperm, egg or tube abnormalities would be quicker to move to ivf. With less significant issues or ovulation concerns would do more iui. Generally after 2-4 IUI would reconsider all options.
