Re-Intro...

Hey Ladies!
After a long lurking hiatus I am hoping to come back and be active on the board again. Quick back-story...I initially intro'ed on this board fall '13 after a year of trying on our own and starting out with our RE. We are unexplained (conceived our now 5yo DS first month not preventing) with the exception of one of my husbands s/a coming back with 5% morphology (two subsequent s/a were "normal"). So not sure if that first one was a fluke or if it just varies. Either way, here we are at 2+ years TFAS, tried one IUI and a few months of accupuncture and are now thinking about IVF in late Sept/early Oct.
Anyway, there seemed to be a mass exodus of most of the ladies I "knew" on this board in the late spring and now there are only a few veterans that might recognize my screen name at this point...so I thought I would re-intro instead of being a total random that just jumped back into posting

Spontaneous pregnancy #1
DD1 July 31, 2011
Trying for #2 since Oct 11
Spontaneous pregnancy #2= Ectopic #2= lost left tube
Spontaneous pregnancy #3= DD2 January 29, 2016
Spontaneous pregnancy #4= Ectopic #3
Spontaneous pregnancy #5= Baby #3 is a BOY!!!
So, we ultimately decided on only one IUI due to success rates and finances. Our RE only gave us about a 14% success rate with IUI and each cycle would cost us about $3-4,000 with all the meds & monitoring. So we figured to do 3 IUIs would cost us around 12K and that was getting close to the cost of an IVF cycle. Our RE gave us closer to 50% success rate with IVF so we decided to try one and then save the 8K to put toward IVF. We are unfortunately OOP for everything fertility treatment wise
That's our story-but if IUIs would have been covered we definitely would have gone for more of them!
Looking forward to getting to know you and GL!
