Trying another medicated IUI

cutebride73

But, feeling like it is a real long shot.  The one in December didn't work.  DH's numbers were just awful and I only had 1 mature follie - even with injects. 

I think I am going to call CCRM and SIRM to get 2nd opinions.  If do another IVF it will be a 1 shot deal since my insurance is gone and we would be OOP.  I just want the best chance possible and I don't think that my RE can give me that.  She just doesn't seem open to more testing or a very aggressive protocol. 

I am also considering getting a consult from a Reproductive Immunologist - possibly Dr. Braverman - since I've had so many losses.  I know it could be egg quality and I have had the RPL panel done and other testing by my hemotologist after they found the factor V leiden, but I just want to be sure there isn't something else that could help me.  Any thoughts on this? 

Anyway, I am of course hoping that we won't need that, but time is running out for us - we aren't getting any younger and DH's numbers aren't getting any better.  I just don't know if this will ever work out, but I am not willing to completely give up yet either. 

::sigh::  Why the heck does this have to be so hard for all of us?

Good luck with your IUI. I've heard good things about Dr. Braverman, I had a friend who had success after going to him. Even though I don't talk to her anymore for some reason lately I've been thinking of going to see him, I keep seeing ads for him when I'm online like it's a sign.

Sending lots of (((HUGS))).  I think you've got a good plan outlined, and I hope it'll be the path you need to take to get you your take home baby.  I agree with your question.  Why does it have to be this hard?

Exactly this.  FX for your IUI.

I am not familiar with the clinics or doctor you mentioned, but follow your gut feeling.  IVF is not cheap and I would be looking around for someone willing to approach with a more aggressive protocol, especially after all you have been through.  GL to you, and I hope you find some answers and doctors you like, trust and that help get you one step closer to your take home baby!

I totally agree with your question. It's so frustrating. I try to cling to the idea that it will be that much sweeter when we finally get our take home babies. But, IF sucks.

Sounds like you have a good plan. Hopefully this IUI will work and you'll get your take home baby. (((((HUGS)))))

If def. sucks. I try to stay hopeful and relax but that if breaks my heart.

I wish this could be easier for all of us...(((hugs)))  I hope your IUI is successful!

Thanks ladies.  I really appreciate all of your support.  I did get a phone consult set up with SIRM today.  Hopefully, I will get CCRM set up tomorrow.  The SIRM one is in two weeks - I was shocked to get an appt. so fast!!  We'll see how it all goes.

I just wanted to drop in and say I have everything crossed for you love! I lurk over here often and I really hope this is your cycle and that you don't have to look into any other options! ((HUGS))

Hey hon, I'm so sorry you're still going through this. I love that you are getting 2nd opinions. I hope in 2 weeks they can come up with an awesome plan. No one deserves this. *bug hugs* and lots of luck!

*also I don't know what kind of drug coverage you have but I MAY have a boat load of Follistim left as well as some other stuff. Just say the word.
