Trouble TTC

hey girls

hey girls sorry it's been so long. I have been taking a break from thinking about all this lol. we are still moving forward it's becoming more and more furstrating. we can't afford the whole IUI right now so we are just treating the NKC (natural killer cells) which is irritating. I never thought when we're started TTC almost 3yrs ago it would be so hard. and now we are 1 yr into Dr appointments and we are DX and it's something so random I can't even find anyone who has said yes I have this and had a baby.... I know I'm rambling and I'm sorry. Sometimes when I feel like we should stop and then I remember if we do it will never happen.

Re: hey girls

  • I'm so sorry, it's so unfair that our chances of pregnancy are influenced so strongly by what we can afford. :( Have you talked to your RE about how much he/she feels your chances would increase by using IUI? Maybe if it's a tiny difference, it can help you feel better about it! And if it is a big difference, maybe you could consider taking a few months off meds to save up for IUI+meds?

  • So sorry for your struggles, and the fact the money only makes it worse.  We haven't gotten to treatment yet, but when you do we're totally OOP too.

    Remember we're all here for you to provide a (virtual) shoulder to cry on, send (HUGS) of encouragement, and, of course, offer wine.

    Started dating in 2006, Married 2012
