Sigh... Now what

wcasar

Finally had a sit down with my hubby and the doctor last Friday. She reviewed everything and said since IUIs haven't worked yet, they probably won't. So no more IUIs. My hubby's count ranges but it's still low. Washes have been: 20 mil, 8 mil, 13 mil, 16 mil... My body seems fine besides my tilt but that isn't an issue. She says it's time for IVF. Yikes! Now I feel everyone's pain that has gone through that meeting. After reviewing the costs it's like $15,000 for one round and it's still a 50/50 chance. No coverage with our typically great PPO insurance. I guess we are starting to save for it, but my hubby just feels like if we try a bit more on our own, we will get pregnant. I guess he is still hopeful and I'm losing hope quickly. Just needed to vent... Thanks for reading.

I'm so sorry. That visit they told me it was time to move to IVF was a very hard one. I started crying at my appt and I hadn't even heard about the cost yet. I feel your pain. Good luck in whatever decision you make.

I'm sorry. I think deciding you need IVF/hearing you need it is a huge (hard) step. I hope you and your husband can end up on the same page. I think it's hard to accept that this is really happening and you might need this much help, you know?

I'm so sorry that you need to make this decision. I agree that the insurance coverage is completely unfair. I hope you and your DH are able to come to an agreement on the next steps together! Good luck.

It's a big step. Let yourself have the time to digest/process the news. It's totally normal to feel overwhelmed and disappointed. Keep in mind that 50/50 odds are much better than IUI odds. Good luck!
