Happy Friday!
My name is Jen and I'm currently looking for a board to call "home." My partner and I have been TTC since March 2010 (see info in siggy below). All have been IUI cycles as we're both women and thus IUI really needed to be our first step. Our RE has told us that after 6 failed IUI cycles the chances of IUI working in the future even with injects is on the low side, and he reccomended moving directly on to IVF. We agreed, and will begin that process in January.
Meanwhile, I'll undergo some more testing to determine if I qualify for their shared risk program, and we will begin pinching every penny we've got as we're totally OOP.
I know that many of you here have been TTC for well over 6 cycles, and I'm sensitive to the fact that we're likely in different places emotionally. Procedureally though, I think I've got more in common with you ladies over here than anywhere else.
Sorry for rambling a bit, and please feel free to tell me to scram if you'd like, but if you don't, I'm excited about getting to know all of you! ![]()
