One Last Time

Here we are...at the beginning stages of our last IUI. IUI #5.

I start my injectables tomorrow (Sunday) I am trying not to be sad. I am trying not to be bitter.

Only positive thoughts right now. We really want and need this to be all that we are hoping for. My husband and I debated for a long time whether or not to skip the 5th IUI and move forward with IVF. After many discussions, I realized it is important to me to try IUI one more time. It is kind of like checking something off of my list of things we need to do before IVF. I just would always wonder if it would have worked. So why not just try it. The good thing is that we switched to my insurance which actually covers a lot of inferility treatments and medicine! Woo hoo! Thank goodness for insurance companies that have their shit together! No more paying everything out of pocket. This is going to be a long month of waiting, waiting, and waiting. I try to keep telling myself that we can do this, we will do this, and it will be worth it. The emotional stress is sometimes just a little too much. I am so excited about the possibilities!

Breathe in, breathe out, it will all work out. (right?)

  10. stopping by from ICLW. i totally understand that worry about whether it's time to switch to IVF. i, too, was really lucky last year to change my insurance to a MUCH better policy. that eliminates so much of the stress. fingers crossed for you for lots of sticky baby dust.
