A Break

Well, we're on a break now, since DH is out of town (when we would need to do the IUI). So, no drugs this month, no IUI, and no hope for a BFP. We'll do the Clomid again next month with IUI and hope for the best. We had a long debate between doing injectibles after this next cycle of Clomid or going straight to IVF. We decided to try at least one cycle of injectibles. The concern is that we might end up with multiples, with my arthritis, it would be a really bad thing to have more than one or two babies. However, since they can monitor the follicles pretty well, and if I have too many we can cancel the cycle, I feel comfortable trying the injectibles at least once to see how I respond. Then we'll make the decision to continue with a couple of injectible cycles or go to IVF.

I'm scared to do IVF. Not only is it pretty uncomfortable, but it's really expensive, and we'll have to pay the entire cost since it isn't covered by insurance. But it's also scary since it's pretty much the end of the line. They can't really do much else if it doesn't work. I'm so scared of potentially being told that there isn't anything else to try and that I can't get pregnant! Then I guess we'd have to decide between maybe using a surrogate, or adoption. All stuff I hope doesn't happen.

Well, I'll just try to focus on the positive, and hope for next cycle.
