Ok so I am still down about my BFN and still crampy with AF, but I decided to be proactive instead of just letting things happen. Dr. Silber is head of the Infertility Clinic of St. Louis. He is the one that has been on all of those Discovery Health shows called The Baby Lab. People from all of the country come to St. Louis to see him and here he is 20 minutes from my house. Anyway....I called them yesterday to make an appointment to discuss IVF thinking I would be lucky if they could get me in by August. They had a cancellation and I have an appointment on June 18th!!! Which if my cycle continues to go the way it has been will be the day of or the day after my BETA from this next cycle. So if I am pregnant they said I could call and cancel. As it stands they are scheduling IVFs for September right now so if it is a BFN we will do 1 more round of IUI and then take a couple of months off before IVF. The other big news with all of this is that this clinic has FINANCING!!!!! Which means I can actually AFFORD to go through with it instead of trying to scrape the money together. We were so worried about that. So for right now I will have my current RE (who was referred to me by Dr. Silber) fax my medical records over to Dr. Silber just in case and then focus on IUI #3. I hope that I have to cancel this appointment, but am so excited that I don't have to wait until August. If I had to wait until August for an appointment it would be November or December before I could do IVF. This way we are looking at September/October. So Still bumming about the BFN, nervous about IUI #3 and excited about my good fortune in getting into this RE so quickly.

That is great news. I think the worst of all of this is the waiting around.
