Hello everyone,
I am new to this. A little bit about us: we're both almost 29. We've been ttc for about 3 1/2 years now. We finally decided to see fertility Dr's at the end of 2014. My husbands counts we're fine. After several tests it was discovered I had a septum running down the middle of my uterus. Over half of it was removed about a year ago. I also have low estrogen. I have done 4 months of letrozol and taking an hcg trigger shot. When that didn't work the doctor had me add Gonal Friday for two days along with letrozol. That still didn't work. We just went to talk to the doctor earlier this week about our next options. He said before I do anything he wants me to have a biopsy on the lining of my uterus. I have that scheduled. He said depending on the outcome I can then take an estrogen injection and 10 days of a hormone injection, IVF, or I may need more of my septum removed. The injections can cost 2000. I really want to try IVF but my insurance doesn't cover it. Just don't know if anyone else has been in a similar situation or has any advice. It'd be greatly appreciated!

Married Jan. 2014
Me:36 DH: 39
TTC since August 2014, Mild PCOS + uterine fibroids
Myomectomy June 2015- 18 fibroids removed
IVF #1, May 2016 = 32 eggs retrieved, 12 fertilized, 7 frozen, 3 PGS normal
FET#2, July 2016 = one embryo transferred
TRIGGER
BFP! Beta = 617
Due date = 4/9/17
Delivery date = 3/20/17
Have you asked your clinic if they are participating in any clinical trials that could help with the IVF cost? If not, I would recommend just checking to see if there is one. We don't get IVF coverage either but we are very lucky to have an opportunity to participate in a trial if this 3rd IUI is a bust.
Good luck!!
