Infertility

My Hail Mary IUI is official...

We've officially decided to wait for IVF#3 until next year. We are hoping DH's insurance will provide me with at least some IF coverage then. Because my tubes aren't damaged and there is just scarring around them, we've gotten the all clear to try a Hail Mary IUI with injectibles.

Since I had already started BCPs for what we thought would be IVF#3, I will stay on those for two weeks, stop them on 10/18, and then go in for a baseline u/s after AF shows.

Who knows, maybe my luck could change and this could be the answer. If not, I'll be bummed but won't be overly surprised. At least this way I feel like I'm doing something, even if it's a long shot!

TGIF, everyone!!

  • Good luck! Who knows, sometimes Hail Mary's do result in a touchdown! I'm glad to hear at least part of your IVF will be covered though if the IUI doesn't work.
