Diagnosed with Severe Ashermans Hysteroscopy #10 - scar tissue grew back reblocking my right tube #11 or IVF with scarring still inside? 1 lone embryo from September 2016 retreival, dx with Trisomy 16, starting fresh
CD5 and day 3 of Menopur injections. Go back tomorrow for a scan to check growth and adjust meds if needed. This is my first time on injectable meds (becides the HCG trigger) and IUI#4. We will see what happens this cycle to determine if we will continue IUI or to wait save and move to IVF. My insurance covers alot I pay a small copay for procedures and meds. IVF I am 80% covered but I have to pay the full upfront costs and we just can't do that right now. Hoping for the best!! So far menopur gives me mild-moderate headaches midday but they subside by the evening.
@Flamingemu - Sounds promising! Good luck. @Starlight811,My insurance is the same way and I will be damned if I don't utilize all my frozen embryos this year so I don't have to repay the upfront costs again next year.
