Don't waste precious cycles with IUI. It's nonsense. Definitely don't bother with the 3 cycles of IUI before you can qualify to retrieve eggs with IVF. If you're in your 40s your days (and cycles with quality eggs) are VERY numbered. Trust us. We went down this road. For every story of fertility there are MUCH higher cases of failure than success. Consider that if you're in your mid 40.. you're 9 out of 10 times likely to NOT be successful.

I take issue with a few aspects regarding Cornell’s storage policy. The storage charge for freezing eggs, embryos etc. is considerably higher than other facilities in the tristate area. For example, for Northwell, the first year is free and there is an $850 annual charge thereafter. Cornell has an initial fee of $1225 PLUS an additional fee of $1200 a year. Therefore, over 5 years, you will be paying about 47% MORE with Cornell. The facilities are providing the same service, so this kind of markup seems unreasonable.
Additionally, Cornell has an age restriction regarding how long they will store your eggs and embryos. Cornell will only keep your frozen eggs until you are FIFTY (50) years old. At this point Cornell will not longer keep them. This is at best an enormous inconvenience, and at worse an unreasonable and unacceptable age restriction based on gender and age. I understand the argument that there is increased risk regarding a woman getting pregnant after 50; however, with surrogacy now legal in New York State, this policy seems arbitrary and unduly burdensome against older woman. I wish I had previously been aware of these two matters, but I did not obtain this information until I was well in my cycle. I hope it helps others make the right choice for them.
