My RE told me that he would let us do a max of 3 IUIs before moving on to IVF. From what I've read about IUIs, they have the same chance of working as a normal fertile couple each month. In our case, with both of us being 35, we just didn't have the time to keep doing IUIs. They can take a long time.View Thread

Best of luck and baby dust to you!View Thread

My RE put me on 2 different types of progesterone. My insurance company denied one of them because when the pharmacy processed my Rx, it thought I was trying to fill the same medicine. I had to call 3 times, all the while I was running low. I remember sounding extremely homicidal on the phone with the mail order pharmacy lady when I said "I need that medicine. I'm carrying twins and I don't want to have a miscarriage because my insurance is too stupid to tell the difference between progesterone suppositories and injections!"
I don't know if it was the craziness in my voice or what, but the lady fixed my problem and sent my meds next day. I hope that this is the end of your troubles with your meds. It can be so frustrating and stressful! I'm sending double baby dust your way!!!View Thread

I don't know about false positives, but 13 days past an IUI is probably enough time for an early test to pick up a positive. Good Luck!!!View Thread


I didn't use ice with the Lupron shots because I used insulin needles and injected my stomach. They were so tiny, I didn't feel them anyway. For my Menopur and Bravelle, I iced alternating thighs each day. I wasn't able to give myself Progesterone, but I put an ice pack on my butt ("hip) before my husband or sister would give me those shots. The ice really made a difference for me.View Thread

At the first visit, your RE will probably go over your history and schedule the tests you both will need. You can decide on a treatment plan after you get all of the facts. Your husband might feel more comfortable with the entire process after meeting the doctor and getting some detailed information about the treatments. My husband felt much better after we decided on a plan and had a definite goal.View Thread


My husband had to have 2 SAs. The first one was extremely low, but the second one was good. My doctor said that he was probably in the middle somewhere.
I know you're excited about your appointment. Keep us posted!!!View Thread

I think that even though IVF is extremely expensive, you and your husband will probably have the best chance for success with it. I'd find a good fertility clinic in your area and set up a consultation. Your current GYN might even have one that they can refer you to. Good luck and keep us posted!!!View Thread
