Trust is so important. My opinion, if you feel you can't trust your RE... time to make a change. This isn't a journey that has one protocol and one outcome, I need to know I can trust my RE decisions. My family's future is in their hands. This process costs us so much, emotionally, physically, and financially... you have to do what feels right to you.
Greatest luck in whatever you decide!

I agree ~ He should have sat you down first and talked to you about "the plan", and what you expected. I also would want to know my RE's stats with IUI vs. IVF, and depending on what your IF issues are go off that.
Mine was Endo, so IUI was a HUGE waste of time.
Trust is important in any relationship, as well as the skills of your doctor.
Good luck.... It's a long hard journey.....
