Do you know the difference between IUI and IVF?
I recently came to find out that my own mother and my elder stepdaughter both thought I went through IVF, even though throughout the IUI process I talked about the mechanics of it and how it differs from IVF. I also mentioned several times that my husband and I decided that if we did multiple IUIs without conceiving, we wouldn’t pursue IVF.
I also didn’t have to do the intense prep or egg retrieval, which both would’ve been noticeable and I would’ve talked about it during the process.
I wonder if they just have terrible memories and even though they did know the difference at the time, they have since formed false memories based on the more widely known procedure.
