NHS IVF Timeframe

My local ICB says that we qualify for IVF funding if we have a diagnosed issue (in our case male factor) and have been trying for over a year.

I’m about to sound really dumb for a minute bare with me…

If you have an IUD do you still have to use the pull-out method as well to completely prevent pregnancy? I’m currently on the pill and use the pull out method as an added layer of protection is the IUD the same? Or am I just being extra?

IVF query

We are self funding and obviously we’d love it to work first time but I’m trying to prepare myself in case it doesn’t.

IUI

Anyone have any success with IUI? My insurance company is requiring 6 rounds of it before they will approve IVF. I personally don’t know a single person who has successfully conceived with IUI so I feel like it’s a waste of time.
