After trying for years on our own (starting in 2005), working with an RE since January 2008, I thought I'd add my thoughts for the world. I have been reading others stories which have been helpful. I figured it would be good for others to see that there are more fighting the fight at the same time.
I am starting my third IUI cycle. Gonal F injections begin tonight. The first two had no effect, and I am not hoping for much. The US this morning showed 6 reasonable follicles, but they have seemed to show that every month.
My DH and I have undetermined infertility. With no reason, and no one to blame, we just keep trying. I am at the age where most of my friends have started their families with no issue. My friends care and want us to succeed, but 3 years later, they have run out of supportive things to say. None of them can relate to waking at 5 am to get blood work and ultrasounds before heading to work with nothing to show for it. Most of them are up at that hour caring for their babies.
I am one of the lucky ones living in Massachusetts. IF treatments are required to be covered by insurance, so we have been able to do this without thinking about the cost. This makes us fortunate in that we are not going into debt to achieve our goal. However, it hasn't made the procedures any more successful.
Here's to this cycle working.
