Infertility Veterans

IUI #4 = BFFN

I'm not surprised, but still Sad.Crying  I'm done with IUI's, I feel like I'm just wasting my money with them.  My Dh thinks we should try a few more, but I'm just over it.

I'm realizing IVF is our only option and I just don't know how I'm going to make it happen.  I know, 'if there is a will there is a way', but it's very overwhelming.  The shots give me major anxiety and I just don't know where I'll come up with the money.  I can come up with enough for ONE IVF but, if it doesn't work that will be the end of my road to becoming a mom.  I'm thinking of taking out some sort of loan for a shared risk program.  Lots to think about, ugh!! I hate IF. Really, hate it.

Thanks for listening. TGIF!! Drinks

Re: IUI #4 = BFFN

  • I'm so sorry. IF is such a biotch.

    The shots really aren't a big deal after the first few, you can totally do it. 

    As for the money, I think looking into a shared risk program is a good idea. I wish we had done one. Our RE advised against it but I wish I hadn't listened to him.

    Thanks for your feedback on the shared risk, I think it's my best bet too... I need to figure it out and see if I even qualify, ugh!

    it sucks

    i think shared risk is the way to go if you qualify for it cutie

     

    Thanks for the shared risk vote, I will need to see if I can qualify!

  • sorry about your bfn :(

     

    TTC #1 since June 2008 *SAIFW*

    TI, IUIs, IVF = c/ps and BFNs

  • I'm sorry. ((Hugs))

    I would look into the shared risk. That way you don't have so much riding on one cycle.

  • Sorry for your BFN.  I hope you qualify for a Shared Risk. Not having to put all your eggs in one basket (no pun intended) really will emiminate some of the stress from IF.

  • Hey GIrl,

    I am so so so very sorry about the BFN - I was so hoping this was it for you. 

    The shots seem scary but really they are not - the best thing I can tell you is take one step at a time with the IVF process and then it will not feel so overwhleming.

    I will be here to answer all of your questions.

    If I had to do it over again - I wish I would of done shared risk - but the expense is crazy - I know. 

    E-mail me if you want to vent - thinking of you.

    Do all the things this weekend that you would not be able to do if you were pregnant.

  • I'm so sorry #4 didn't work for you! I hope IVF proves to be a much better choice in the end. I know it's expensive (we're OOP as well), but if it works it's worth it, right? (((hugs)))

    We also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And HOPE does not dissappoint.
