Well I figured I should do some sort of update on here. We just finished up another IUI cycle and it was a failure. I decided not to blog about it and hope that I could just post we’re pregnant and that would be that. Well no such luck. Everything “looked” perfect this past cycle but it didnt take. So we have decided that this next IUI will be our last. If this month doesnt work than this will be the end of the road for treatments for who knows how long. The doctor agreed that this should be our last before having a consult with him. This will be my 9th IUI and only 2 have taken so its not really that great of odds. The doctor decided to alternate my medication doses each day (75IU then 112.5 IUI then 75IU…etc) in hopes of making less follicles that are better quality and let them mature just a little longer. We will also be trying back to back IUIs. This is the first time we will have tried that. Basically the day after trigger and the next day after will be IUIs. We should know if this works around the 1st week in July. If it doesnt we have a consult with the RE July 7th. Basically he will inform us that nothing is working and our only other option medically will be IVF. So unless we had 20,000 laying around this will not be an option for us. You have to pay everything up front for the program. Basically you get 6 cycles covered in that 20,000 and if nothing works out in the end you get your money back. Thankfully Im under 35 so we would get everything back if it didnt work. But like I said 20,000 isnt something we have laying around and we are going through Financial Peace right now so we no longer have a credit card or anything. They have all been shreaded and we are making every effort to pay all of our debt off. So even if we had 20,000 it would probably go towards getting us out a hole we’ve created ourselves over the last 5 years together. So not very encouraging news at all. We both feel fine if IVF was to be our only option but we dont have a money tree growing in our front yard. We also dont feel that our road is heading toward adoption at this point. It is something I feel that you get a clear direction towards and neither of us feel led towards that at this point.
So thats where we stand. 3 1/2 years later and we are still waiting, hoping, and praying that God will give us a child.
