Trouble TTC

"Next step" appointment tomorrow

I am in the 2ww of IUI 4. Tomorrow I have an appt to discuss where to go from here if this cycle fails. I'm pretty sure my RE is going to push IVF, but DH and I just aren't ready for that. He is leaving in a few months for Army training, and I don't see us being emotionally or financially ready to go that far before he leaves. Unfortunately though, his training will mean a forced break for us for at least 8 months. We want to be as proactive as we can in the next few months without jumping to IVF. Does anyone have suggestions? More testing? Are there other treatments I am unaware of? Any suggestions would be appreciated. I just feel like I'm going into this appointment tomorrow completely unprepared.

Also, it's not that we would never consider IVF, it's just not right for us at this time.

    My response has been great. 23 follicles each time, all between 17mm and 21mm.

    Between 2 and 3 follies, not 23 follies. Mobile bumping...
