Maybe I'm not Crazy!

I was suppose to order my injections in a couple of weeks to start an IUI injection protocol for next cycle. Before I did that, though, I wanted to talk to my Dr about the pain that I've been having during sex and cramps afterwards. We only have 3 cycles on this protocol before our insurance runs out. So, I wanted to be sure that my uterus is in tip-top shape before proceeding.

I spoke with the nurse yesterday and she laid out my number again, like I need to be reminded of my egg supply, and told me that IVF should be highly considered. After speaking with her for about 20 minutes and crying for half of that, she set up a phone consult with my Dr. I got off the phone feeling defeated and broken. She didn't seem to think that the cramps had anything to do with my infertility.

So....I spoke with the Dr today and he agrees with me! He thinks that there might be something else going on. He mentioned endometriosis and thought that laproscopy should be considered before the IUI's. We are going in next week to talk in depth about this. But, I am so happy that he didn't think I'm crazy!

Also, the herbs and acupuncture that I've been doing can help my situation. I think the lack of cramps this cycle is indicitive of some healing. I am keeping my fingers crossed that my borderline egg #'s are not as big of a deal as the nurse made it out to be. Hopefully, we won't need to get to the laproscopy in November and can head straight to a pregnancy!

    That's awesome!!!  I'm so glad your doctor listened to you, and I'm even happier you don't feel crazy - hate that feeling.  Fingers crossed for you - now get to the pregnancy!

    That's so great that your dr hears you!  I think it is a really good idea to get more testing done before you use up your IUIs.  I don't understand some of these fertility nurses.  Some of them just don't know when to shut up and let the doctor decide.

    You are definitely not crazy.  I am so happy your RE validated what you felt and is on board with additional testing.
