Full speed ahead

I called the RE's office to tell them AF showed yesterday. ?The receptionist left to get my file, and I assume consult with a nurse. ?She came back and asked if I wanted to start another cycle. ?I was bit caught off guard because my RE had told me in my original consultation that there would be break cycles in between IUIs. ?I said, "Well, yes, if I can". ?Then she proceeded to schedule me for a baseline sono tomorrow morning. ?I asked about getting more Follistim, and she said the nurse would talk to me about that tomorrow. ?I found that a bit confusing because last cycle I started stims the same day as my sono. ?Fortunately, I have 300 ius left in the fridge if we are doing the same thing. ?I guess I'll have more answers tomorrow. And I am going to ask about moving on to IVF after this one so that everyone is on the same page. ?I am completely OOP, so although IVF fees are daunting I sure don't need to use up all of my savings on IUIs in the meantime.
Thank you all for your kind words. ?They mean so much to me. And, Stacia, I particularly enjoyed, "well, crap" cause that's exactly how I feel!?

Re: Full speed ahead
So glad you are starting again tomorrow with no wait.
Let us know how it goes....we're with you in spirit.
I wish you the best...
Hope this next cycle is the one.?
I kept cyber stalking (but not in a creepy way ) this site to how things were with you. Keep on keepin on, I'm quite conviced things are going to work out for you.
hey Indiana~ looks like I missed your post yesterday....that sucks. But as far as having another IUI, my doc did 4 IUI cycles in a row, no questions asked. But honestly, if I were you, I would go straight to IVF......I asked about doing that myself (I didnt even want one IUI, let alone four), but b/c of insurance reasons, I had to have the IUIs first. We are moving to IVF now, but I can't help but feel like we wasted so much time...
and I am not sure if you are aware of the timeline for IVF, but I had to take this cycle 'off' (no meds, no IUI), and then when AF shows, I start BCP and then the next cycle, is when the ER, ET wil be (so we are looking at having the ER the last week of March). I know you said you really wanted a '09 baby, so I thought this info may help you make your decision~
Good luck with the IUI this cycle, hopefully none of this IVF info will matter!
Good luck!!
