3 years of infertility, we did our 3rd IUI 2 weeks ago. I had a really good feeling about this one but did my best not to think about it constantly and was going to test tomorrow. Started spotting today, which means my period will follow like clockwork tonight.
I'm struggling with what to do next. We can't afford IVF, its debatable if we can afford another IUI. I'm 29 and feeling panicky that it's too late for me. My partner wants to do adopt, but I struggle because I want a biological child.
How do you guys get through it? I know so many of you have been struggling for much longer than me, but I'm here at work trying not to break out in tears because yet another failed attempt this month
My husband and I sat down and weighed out all the pros and cons when we were both relaxed and could really talk about it. We came to the conclusion no matter what, IVF would be worth it. We opened a credit card and just went for it. It seemed like A LOT at the time (and it was and is) but I'm glad we did it. It seemed like the best option when we really went over every thing. Our clinic ended up helping us with meds and will be giving us half off our next FET (sounds so funny when put like that, but I have found when you tell your clinic you're out of pocket, there are ways they will help). I just hope you find peace in all of this and what feel right for you and your husband. Unfortunately there is no concrete answers on what's right... even though I really wish there were.
If you can, give yourself some time to feel better after this cycle. I wish you all the best and hope you feel a little better soon. You can do difficult things!!
