Finally gave in to seeing an RE...

And I'm so excited about my decision! I've been seeing my OBGYN for fertility up until now. We had our first appt today with the RE and everything went great! We have a plan for the next couple of cycles already laid out. My insurance is the bomb so I'll only pay a $20 copay each visit and $5 per lab. And the best part is...IUI's are COMPLETELY COVERED!!

DH didn't have to do another s/a since he's had one before and he technically got me pregnant last cycle. I was glad of that b/c I really didn't want him to have to do that again.

He changed me from Clomid to another drug that is about the same, and for the life of me, I can't remember the name of it (even though I've heard it a thousand times on this board).

The only downside is that the clinic is a little over an hour's drive from my house and I will be driving that about once a week. But if that's the only downside...I'll take it!

I should be starting my next cycle around Friday so I'm excited to get things truckin! Wish me luck gals!

    I found that after I left my RE for the first time - it was the BIGGEST stress relief ever to feel as if your getting somewhere .... ;o) 

    Good luck!

    That's great news about the IUI being covered.  I am sure that you won't mind the drive too much, you'll have some alone time to think about IF while no one can bother you!

    Baby N conceived after 1 miscarriage and more than 2 years of TTC. Diagnosis was low sperm count. We found success after 3 months of anastrozole to increase DH's testosterone and one IUI.

    I think that is a great idea. I have an app. with a specialist in March. I am pretty excited about it, I felt like going to the OB was just a waste of money. GL!
