IF/Testing Check In Week of 3/13

hartmich · March 2017

This is a place for those of us who have already started TTC, but have started infertility testing and/or treatments. You can express your thoughts, feelings, and frustrations on infertility. TTC can be a long journey naturally, then add in the difficulties associated with infertility and it becomes a whole new ball game. The road to infertility can be lonely, frustrating, and complicated, so let's make this a place where we can vent, ask questions, and support one another. Feel free to resurrect this thread at any point in the week if you have something to say, and treat this like an ongoing conversation.

Diagnosis (If you've been):

Cycle/CD:

Status (WTO/TWW/TTA):

What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment?)

How are things going?

Any questions?

GTKY: March Madness inspired - do you participate in March Madness brackets? If not, do you have a favorite sport to watch?

kaitlink33 · March 2017

Diagnosis (If you've been): pcos

Cycle/CD: 4/ 20

Status (WTO/TWW/TTA): tww

What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment?) Letrozole, prometrium, ovidrel

How are things going? Good, I guess. I'm not obsessing about POAS and just felt out this cycle before I basically even started much of anything so I think not having my hopes up anymore helps.

Any questions? Nope

GTKY: March Madness inspired - do you participate in March Madness brackets? If not, do you have a favorite sport to watch? No. Hockey!

TravelingCouple · March 2017

Diagnosis (If you've been): unexplained secondary infertility

Cycle/CD: 17/4

Status (WTO/TWW/TTA): WTO

What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment?) Letrozole, trigger, TI, progesterone - first full medicated cycle

How are things going? I have a mixed bag of feelings. I had my baseline blood work and ultrasound this morning. I'm excited and scared. A little more scared than excited right now. I'm just waiting for the go ahead once my blood work is read to start the letrozole tonight.

Any questions? The nurse said they'll see how I react to the letrozole and add in injectibles if need be later in my cycle. She was in the middle of my ultrasound so I wasn't thinking of questions at the time.. What exactly would an injectible do if the letrozole isn't working for me? I have the trigger shot to induce ovulation already.

GTKY: March Madness inspired - do you participate in March Madness brackets? If not, do you have a favorite sport to watch?
I'm not a sports fan. I like watching the Olympics though

tamalahoops · March 2017

@TravelingCouple its my understanding that injectables will grow your follicles faster. But unless you're maxed out on the letrozole dose I don't know why they would already be talking about injectables before you've even started. I didn't respond well to my first medicated cycle but my doc just upped the letrozole dose and I responded well.

KristoKekerooni · March 2017

@TravelingCouple , When she says injectible, she means to stimulate, not trigger. It's gonadotropins (like gonal-f) and they are way more hardcore than femara or clomid. It's what they use in like, IVF, because you want to respond super well. If you don't respond to Femara or Clomid, you should respond to the injectibles.

Diagnosis (If you've been): MFI and RPL

Cycle/CD: Cycle 32/CD27/12DPO

Status (WTO/TWW/TTA): WFAF

What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment?): I did Clomid/Progesterone/TI.

How are things going? Well, BFN this monrning and I'm losing it. I don't know how you guys handle Clomid. I am panicking because I have to do it again. I hate it. It was horrible. HORRIBLE. I don't think I can do it. I could hardly work on it. I kept taking off early and going home to lay in bed. I'm normally a trooper when it comes to be sick, etc, but this was something else. I almost passed out several times because I was just so tired. It's stupid because ya'll handle it like it's no big deal. I don't know how. You guys are champs. I am not.

Any questions? No

GTKY: March Madness inspired - do you participate in March Madness brackets? If not, do you have a favorite sport to watch? I hate televised sports, but I love watching in person. So no to the brackets, but I love baseball in particular, but only if it's live.

hartmich · March 2017

@KristoKekerooni Damn, sorry for the BFN. You made it through this cycle with Clomid, you can do it again. The things we do to get KU....

Diagnosis (If you've been): PCOS & MFI

Cycle/CD: 9/18

Status (WTO/TWW/TTA): WTO

What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment?) Trying on our own until IVF in May

How are things going? Fine for now, I should be O'ing soon so hopefully we can just keep moving along here.

Any questions? Not today

GTKY: March Madness inspired - do you participate in March Madness brackets? If not, do you have a favorite sport to watch?

We love March Madness. We are a basketball household for sure! H says our future child will have a ball in their hand before they can write...

TravelingCouple · March 2017

@KristoKekerooni I'm so sorry for the BFN

I'm sorry the Clomid is such a pain too and totally knocking you out. All the appts, blood work, side effects, prodding and poking is hopefully leading us toward a baby in our arms.. That is all that's keeping me going when I think of all the things we're doing this month too. I am rooting so hard for you!

ETA @tamalahoops I think she was just giving me all of the different scenarios. They wouldn't move forward with it without reason.

wabash15 · March 2017

Diagnosis (If you've been): Unexplained, AMA, factor V

Cycle/CD: 11/20

Status (WTO/TWW/TTA): TWW though FF and I disagree about DPO, FF says 4 I say 2...

What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment?) on our own but medicated next cycle!

How are things going? meh... would you guys mind giving me a CS? I had a +OPK on CD14 but it did not match up with fertile CM or immideate temp rise. I have a mild temp shift on CD16 (FF gave me CH for this) but on CD18 I had a +OPK and fertile CM though no significant temp shift.... I have had a bit of a cold and have been a mouth breather the last 2 nights so I'm wondering if thats why I have not seen a bigger temp shift... I dunno what do you ladies think? https://https//www.fertilityfriend.com/home/6437bb

Image: https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/6437bb/?i=7470106&

Any questions? see above

GTKY: March Madness inspired - do you participate in March Madness brackets? If not, do you have a favorite sport to watch? nope... I love the random sports like curling!

@kaitlink33 sorry your feeling out already IF is such a B and it can be so hard to stay positive
@TravelingCouple Hooray for starting a medicated cycle. I agree with the other ladies that injectables are usually a last resort and if your initial dose of letrozole does not work they try increasing it first.
@KristoKekerooni so sorry for the BFN hugs. Could you try letrozole instead of clomid? most ladies have way less side effects with letrozole.
@hartmich thanks for getting this rolling!

Bababatty · March 2017

@TravelingCouple Good luck with the letrozole!

@Kaitlink33 I'm sorry you feel like you're out, but I completely understand how that can actually make you feel better. I always used to think I was an optimistic person but with IF I feel like tempering optimism has been the best, mentally. So I know where you're coming from.

@KristoKekerooni I'm so sorry about the BFN! Can you ask to switch to letrozole to avoid the clomid issues?

Diagnosis (If you've been): MFI

Cycle/CD: 22/4

Status (WTO/TWW/TTA): WTO

What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment?) DH is still on clomid and we're on our own for one more cycle.

How are things going? Fine. My colleague who got married last fall told me she just got an IUD, and I have never felt such relief. I think a pregnancy announcement from her would have sent me over the edge.

Any questions? Nope

GTKY: March Madness inspired - do you participate in March Madness brackets? If not, do you have a favorite sport to watch?
No. I really don't like watching most sports on TV, except the olympics. I do like live baseball and hockey, though.

hartmich · March 2017

@wabash15 That's a tough one. I would think with 4 days of a sustained shift, you could be pretty confident, but the positive OPK on CD18 is throwing me off... I wonder if tomorrow's temp (assuming it gets higher) will cause your CH to shift to CD19 or so... Your BD is outstanding no matter what though!

wabash15 · March 2017

@hartmich thanks girl. normally my signs all line up nicely ... not this month.

laurad75 · March 2017

@KristoKekerooni I'm so sorry about the BFN and that you are having such a tough time with the clomid. What did your dr say when you shared how you responded to it?

@wabash15 I just really want to applaud your killer HIO efforts this cycle. WTG

AFM - It's CD 1, let's get the party started.

Diagnosis (If you've been): DOR, AMA

Cycle/CD: I've lost track of cycles maybe 11 or 12/ CD 1

Status (WTO/TWW/TTA): IVF stims

What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment?) 10-12 nights of stims and then ER

How are things going? I'm hopeful for this cycle. I don't know why. I've been drinking coffee again and not eating great but I have been more consistent about yoga, acupuncture, and supplements and more relaxed. We shall see in a couple of weeks.

Any questions?

GTKY: March Madness inspired - do you participate in March Madness brackets? If not, do you have a favorite sport to watch? I will do a bracket if the opportunity arises but I'm just guessing. I'm not big into sports.

wabash15 · March 2017

@laurad75 hooray for getting this party started!! Hang on to that hope. I am rooting so hard for you!!

KristoKekerooni · March 2017

I haven't even seen my effing doctor. The cycle ended up being accidentally unmonitored- meaning they kept canceling last minute and I never got seen. My doctor is awesome, but his staff sucks. He was out on vacation so he wasn't able to set them straight. He was pissed I wasn't monitored.

Anyway, I also just started AF, so yay to that. My LP ended up not changing on progesterone, which sucks because I was hoping it would make my FW line up properly in a week so the IUI can be done, because if it looks like weekend, my doc will cancel it since they aren't open. They way it's looking now, I probably won't get the IUI done. I am so upset today. I'm freaking tired. So tired of this shit.

And it's fucking Monday so it's not like I can go overboard drowning my "Cycle 33 sorrows" in alcohol.

fuck this Monday more than any other Monday.

[Deleted User] · March 2017

@KristoKekerooni Oh girl I'm so sorry for that damn BFN. Can you ask to try Femara instead? Having to deal with side effects is basically the last thing any IFer needs.
@TravelingCouple Good luck with this cycle! I did end up needing injectables with my Femara and it's no biggie at all. If you have any questions at all this cycle just give a shout out!

So after some confusion with switching insurance companies in July, we have decided to move up our IVF just one month. So I'll start BCPs next month. At first we were considering doing it this month but I'm happy I have a bit longer to mentally/financially prepare.

JuneRoseRuby · March 2017

Diagnosis (If you've been): Severe MFI, Robertsonian Translocation

Cycle/CD: 16/7

Status (WTO/TWW/TTA): WTO/NTNP

What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment?) H is on Clomid and Theralogix supplements. BW for first month is supposed to be Wednesday but with the huge snow storm we are supposed to get, I doubt he will still have his appointment.

How are things going? Just riding the IF waves. I have some serious paranoia that everyone I know is going to tell me they are pregnant. I hate it. I hate that I feel that way. I wouldn't answer my best friend's phone call yesterday because I was nervous she was going to tell me she was pregnant.

Any questions? Those of you with MFI, did you Hs feel differently when taking clomid? I keep asking MH and he says no. I feel like he should be feeling more hormonal or something!

GTKY: I'm obsessed when the Olympics are on, but other than that, I don't have to watch sports.

@KristoKekerooni Aw girl, I am so sorry it's such a rough day. IF MFin' sucks. Real bad. That sucks even worse that your office can't be accommodating. I since you can't get a good drunk on today, try to do something else that is just for you that you really love. You're worth it!

@antoto That's exciting you're moving your IVF up a month earlier! You'll be ready! Get your Yogi on and relax!

hartmich · March 2017

@antoto Glad to see you're back on the IVF train soon. Question for you - I stalked your signature and noticed that you plan on doing PGS testing. Do you mind sharing why you and your H made that decision? It's something I'm struggling with right now.

tamalahoops · March 2017

Diagnosis (If you've been): poor egg quality, mild mfi

Cycle/CD: cycle liiiike 21 I think?

Status (WTO/TWW/TTA): waiting, waiting, waiting

What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment?) FET transfer 4/12

How are things going? I feel like garbage. I'm starting to feel discouraged. I have to keep reminding myself that for the past 23 months we have not been able to make an embryo. But we've conquered that hurdle and we have an embryo now. Its more likely that it will stick than it won't. But I'm still overcome with immense anxiety over the though of it not working.

Any questions? Those doing acupuncture and therapy, which do you feel like is helping more?

GTKY: March Madness inspired - do you participate in March Madness brackets? If not, do you have a favorite sport to watch

I am not a sports person but my husband loves college basketball. So I'll fill out a bracket based entirely on the mascots.

wabash15 · March 2017

@antoto I'm glad your able to move your IVF up a month. Fx all goes well
@KristoKekerooni sorry for CD1 and that your having such a rough IUI road. Its unusual that your clinic won't do the IUI on the weekend. Most won't do IUI US on the weekend but will do the IUI itself. its crazy that they cut out 2 days a week because everyone cycles differently. Well maybe if worse comes to worse it can be a TI cycle...
@JuneRoseRuby i'm sorry your having such anxiety about BFPs. It might be something to mention to your BFF... hugs
@tamalahoops This process sucks and its totally understandable that your anxious about this FET. Fx so hard for your little man that he's a fighter and the one.

TravelingCouple · March 2017

I expected to feel more relief and excitement at starting a medicated cycle but I haven't stopped crying since we got home. I am really not doing well guys..I feel so depressed. It feels so surreal and of course I kept thinking every month we'd get pregnant before we got to this point. I feel so angry and I hate it. I'm not this person. I'm calling my insurance now to find a therapist.

Aurora1973 · March 2017

Oh @KristoKekerooni I'm so sorry it's all so shitty right now. IF sucks so hard, and is so fucking exhausting. I wish I could think of anything to say to make you feel better, but all I can come up with is that you aren't alone, and I'm thinking about you. Creepiest of internet hugs to you.

Image result for friends hugs gif

@wabash15 I, too, clap my flippers (that gif is hilarious) at your dedication to doing the dirty deed. Also, I agree with you that with your other signs, it's looking like you might be 2 DPO. Hopefully tomorrow things will be more clear!

@laurad75 Yay! So excited for your next round...FX so hard!!

@TravelingCouple I hope your first medicated cycle goes great

Diagnosis: DOR, AMA

Cycle/CD: 17 (11 AL)/23

Status: TWW

What are you doing this cycle: All the supplements and herbs, eliminating lots of toxins, still listening to "It Starts with the Egg," abusing my credit card privileges on Amazon to try even more supplements for next cycle (Myo Inositol because while I don't have PCOS, I am insulin resistant since I have Type II Diabetes, and DHEA, although I'm still nervous to try it), supplementing with progesterone, boning.

How are things going: The last two cycles I had 12 day LPs, and my ovulation this cycle was on CD16, which is where it was before my cycle deteriorated, so my acupuncturist and I have made some progress. We had good timing this month, too, so I know I've done about all I can. I started off the cycle optimistic, but my temps have been awfully low for post-O, so I'm starting to feel concerned.

Any questions: Nope.

GTKY: I like watching sports occasionally, but definitely prefer going to a game. I won't choose to put a game on TV myself, nor do I participate in MM brackets. But I will watch basketball or football with OH. I especially like the NFL Red Zone channel since it covers all the games at their most exciting point.

hartmich · March 2017

@travelingcouple I'm so glad you've decided to find a therapist. It's okay to feel like you need help navigating through all these shitty feelings. I really hope that it helps you and you find an outlet. You're doing the right thing by taking care of yourself.

KristoKekerooni · March 2017

@wabash15 - Yeah, it's because it's just a regular OB. I live in the middle of nowhere. the closest RE is five hours away and I didn't want to juggle that with "just" an IUI. Now I am questioning it.

@TravelingCouple - Good for you. I hope the therapist helps. I wish I could hug you, a big part is because I'm right there with you. I haven't stopped crying today and I am effing devastated. I hope your upcoming medicated cycle is the end of the line with TTC for you and you walk away with a baby. Hugs, friend.

@Aurora1973 - Thanks. I will get over it. I always do. I just hate seeing the numbers get biggger and bigger.

wabash15 · March 2017

@KristoKekerooni ahh that explains it. Sorry I forgot you were doing your IUI through your OB. It sucks that an RE is so far away.... could you work out some sort of mixed care where your OB does your scanning for you and sends the results to and RE and the RE does the IUI so that way you don't have to miss out? hugs I'm so sorry you have to deal with all this shit.

vintageandrea90 · March 2017

Diagnosis (If you've been): Anovulatory PCOS

Cycle/CD: 13/28

Status (WTO/TWW/TTA): TWW

What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment?): Femara 5mg + Ovidrel on CD 20 + TI

How are things going? I just feel out. This is the first real TWW I've ever had, but I feel absolutely 100% normal...I wasn't temping and took a random temp yesterday morning and it was super low...like pre-O temp. I don't know, I'm not feeling optimistic and I'm 100% expecting a BFN.

Any questions? None today. I'm just expecting a BFN and I'm hoping to temp next month so I have a better idea of what's going on.

GTKY: March Madness inspired - do you participate in March Madness brackets? If not, do you have a favorite sport to watch?
I dont even know what that is - so I'm going to say no lol

Aurora1973 · March 2017

@TravelingCouple hugs to you. That is an awful feeling. We've all heard the stories of people who are just getting ready for some major treatment and get KU the cycle before, and it makes it so easy to have those painful expectations. I'm so sorry you're going through this, but I'm glad that you're going to talk to someone. I really hope it helps.

vintageandrea90 · March 2017

@KristoKekerooni So sorry about AF. It's so frustrating. We're here for you.

@JuneRoseRuby I feel the exact same. I hid my friends posts on FB so I won't see her pregnancy updates anymore. Anytime someone says to me "I have something to tell you" I automatically think it's that and my stomach drops. My co-worker said "I have some exciting news" and I could feel my eyes starting to sting with tears but then she told me she got a new job....it's pretty ridiculous. Also my SIL got KU on her first try last year and already said she hopes to be KU with #2 by the time he's 1....I'm dreading dreading dreading that annoucement. It's so terrible.

hartmich · March 2017

@juneroseruby @vintageandrea90 I totally feel you guys on the dread of friends telling us they're KU. I have a couple friends who would likely be trying now/soon and every time I get together, I'm like a hawk to see if they're drinking, etc. I've turned into a crazy person!

mrsdaddario · March 2017

@TravelingCouple You're doing the right thing by seeking out someone to speak with. I had found a therapist who specialized in IF, unfortunately she didn't end up taking my insurance. I stubbornly put off finding a new person, and then we lost our insurance. So learn from my mistakes lol, go talk to someone! It will help immensely.

Diagnosis (If you've been): NIR PCOS

Cycle/CD: 18/17 CD 13

Status (WTO/TWW/TTA): WTO

What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment?)

Natural cycle. Waiting to ovulate. OPK's, temping, lots of pills going down my throat every morning. HIO.

How are things going? We had to make the tough decision to push off IVF until June now, despite our insurance kicking in next month. Some family stuff is going on, and I will be traveling at the end of May. It's not plausible to be traveling and stimming for IVF. My office doesn't do a few weeks of BCP's either, unless I was anovulatory. So it's not like we can start that process while I travel. I'm at peace with the decision, still sucks though.

Any questions?

GTKY: March Madness inspired - do you participate in March Madness brackets? If not, do you have a favorite sport to watch? Nope!

wabash15 · March 2017

@mrsdaddario I'm so sorry you have a delay in starting IVF. On the upside you and @hartmich should be IVF buddies!

TravelingCouple · March 2017

Thank you so much ladies, I wish I could hug you all for all of the BS everyone is dealing with in this process. My DH came home to WFH for the rest of the day. He said he could tell in my texts that I wasn't myself. I could just cry over how much I love him right now.

[Deleted User] · March 2017

@TravelingCouple so many hugs for you today

That first medicated cycle is a total mind fuck. I don't know if they will be available where you live, but perhaps look into getting a therapist who specializes in infertility? Or women, specifically?

@hartmich So I decided to do the genetic testing on the embryos because during our IUI cycles I would produce like 5 eggs, but then... obviously... I didn't get KU. There can be a lot of variable in this, so I decided to eliminate as many as possible. Maybe the sperm couldn't penetrate the egg? So we are doing ICSI. Maybe something is happening on a genetic level we don't know about? So we are doing PGS. I just realllly wanted to eliminate as many different variables as possible. It's wildly expensive, but H and I decided that for our situation we wanted to pursue it.

TravelingCouple · March 2017

@KristoKekerooni I'm so sorry for all that you're dealing with right now too. It really is so draining on the heart and mind. Lots of hugs

@antoto I'm so excited for you on moving up your IVF!
ETA typo

magnolia131 · March 2017

Diagnosis (If you've been): PCOS, MFI (mildly low count)

Cycle/CD: 16/10

Status (WTO/TWW/TTA): WTO

What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment?) Repeat testing (bloodwork & SA), enough supplements that I needed a second pill case this month, Metformin, hopefully TI if this cycle isn't AO.

How are things going? I have honestly nothing happening right now thanks to wait times between appointments. After the cycle from hell last cycle (my estrogen was through the roof and the symptoms were miserable), I'm just really feeling impatient/defeatist about everything. DH has always had a "wait and see/if it happens, it happens" approach to TTC and now with the wheels in motion with our doctors and topics like IVF on the horizon, he is kind of realizing that our time to "wait and see" is up and this is pretty much where the last two years have led us. The reality of it is stressful and hitting at the same time that we are looking to buy a house for the first time, so there is obviously a financial aspect of it that can be burdensome to really talk about. I realize the discussion of how much money we should set aside for potential IF needs vs. the type/size of home loan we should get is a privileged dilemma to have, but it's hard when we aren't 100% on the same page about it.

Any questions?

GTKY: March Madness inspired - do you participate in March Madness brackets? If not, do you have a favorite sport to watch? I don't follow basketball really aside from the NBA finals each year. I love baseball if it's live. As far as football goes, DH and I are Dolphins fans and I also like the Redskins.

@KristoKekerooni so sorry for the BFN and AF, lady. Also about the Clomid. Everyone's body reacts to these things SO differently so please don't think less of yourself for something so ultimately out of your control. Maybe if you are getting more monitoring this time around the doctors can advise you on how to best cope with the symptoms. You're as much of a champ as the rest of us, I promise you!

@Bababatty I'm relieved for you with the IUD announcement. I wish more people would tell me news like that instead of brazenly telling me they are starting to TTC when I haven't asked. I'd talk BC with my coworkers over babies any day.

@wabash15 I agree with @hartmich that I'd wait for another day of high temps to see what happens. Also that either way, your timing is on point.

@TravelingCouple Good for you for finding a therapist. I can relate to the feeling of "I'm not this person" big time. I'm sorry for all of the emotions you are grappling with today and in general. Sending so much

your way.

JuneRoseRuby · March 2017

@hartmich exactly. I just can't shut it off. H thinks I need to talk to someone about it, but I feel like I have my emotions mostly under control and I feel like I am managing IF well considering our terrible situation and poor chances of ever getting KTFU, but this is the one thing that I can't manage. I was reading in my Conquering Infertility book that some women think they are okay, but actually are depressed, so it makes me second guess myself and wonder if I really am

@TravelingCouple I think a therapist would be a great idea. I have been thinking about you and I know things have been mentally really hard for you lately. You'll want to be in good mental shape for this damn roller coaster called IF. What a great H you have to come home from work.

TravelingCouple · March 2017

Nurse called and said my initial blood work and ultrasound this morning are good and I'm starting the Letrozole tonight. Here we go!

Bababatty · March 2017

@KristoKekerooni I'm so sorry that now it's CD1 and that B AF didn't even have the courtesy to show on a day you could get drunk.

I'm also sorry for all the trouble you're having with your OBs office and the IUI. Do you think if your follies are sufficiently large, it would be possible to trigger early if you risk running into the weekend? Or I second the question about the possibility of doing the IUI with your RE? I know you've talked about that before and I can't remember your answer. Anyway, lots of creepy internet hugs to you and I hope your FW manages to align itself properly with the work week.

vintageandrea90 · March 2017

@TravelingCouple Exciting!! Fx this is it for you!

Marley629 · March 2017

Diagnosis (If you've been):
DOR, FActor V, MFI
Cycle/CD:
cycle 19, CD 2

Status (WTO/TWW/TTA): WTO, WFIVF#2

What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment?)

We are doing unmedicated cycle & will do another stim cycle either April or May depending on timing.

How are things going? Good! I don't know if I updated last week but I had 2 embryos make it to day 5; they were biopsied and frozen so I'm waiting on the PGS results. This first AF after ER really sucks though

Any questions?

GTKY: March Madness inspired - do you participate in March Madness brackets? If not, do you have a favorite sport to watch?
Yes

I'm in 3 bracket challenges but I'll be honest and say I didn't watch much college bball this season. My favorite sports to watch are football and professionally baseball!

KristoKekerooni · March 2017

So apparently they are checking follicles next Friday and plan to trigger and do IUI same day, if it's ready. Fingers crossed it is?

I am considering switching back to the RE. The reason we didn't was because she's five hours away and only does IUIs with injectibles, which was pricey, when you add that to the cost of all the travel (because she will do some, but not all monitoring down here- as in only the baseline down here)But now our insurance covers IUIs, so the cost would come down a lot and we would just have all the travel to worry about. I think we will do this upcoming IUI, maybe one or two more, then switch. Summers are easier to travel.

bpietronicco · March 2017

Hello! Diagnosis (If you've been): blocked tube Cycle/CD: 27(1 AL) cycle day 8 Status (WTO/TWW/TTA): WTO What are you doing this cycle? (Testing?
