Trouble TTC

Sorta new...(child mentioned)

I am new, but I created a profile like 5yrs ago when I was pregnant but in the end lost the baby.  So, I am back years later, married with a 12yo stepdaughter.  DH (42) and I (39) have been TTC since Jan. But I had 4 MCs in my lifetime and after 4 months trying naturally, I decided to see RE.  RE was concerned by my weight and A1C number.  I also have DOR but she said she have seen ppl get preg with my number.  I cannot remember my exact # though.  In the 4 mons w/RE, I had 1 chemical preg (naturally).  Next cycle, she did Clomid (50) and it produce 3 follicles but no preg. My weight was not coming down fast enough for RE so it seems like she brushed me to the side...I needed a break so it was ok with me.  Found a new RE closer to my job a few wks ago.  Did a consult with her, this new RE seems to be gun ho for IVF but I didn't want to go that path right away so I asked for an aggressive treatment with Clomid.  RE shot that down and said Clomid is not aggressive treatment.  She suggested follistim/gonal f and IUI.  So, the plan was to start w/ Jan cycle until I found out that the IUI is covered but follistim/gonal f are not covered under my prescription plan. Needless to say, DH and I were not prepared for $2000-2500 cost.  I will call the RE back tomm to see if there are cheaper alternatives to follistim/gonal f.  

So, my plan is to try to do it in Feb.  I would look at all options for discounted meds, donations and/or ppl selling their leftovers. I will be 40 in Feb so fingers crossed, I really hope all of this works in one cycle. This is still new to me and DH.  This is the 1st time in our lives when we are actively trying to get pregnant, other times before were not planned.

  • Well, I got some great news today! I am just thankful that it worked out! My job allowed me to cancel my insurance so I could go to DH plan. His plan covers IUI and meds. I am completely sure of all details yet. But DH saw that the meds were a $20 copay, omg $20.
