The visit w/ RE today....
went very well. I am feeling so good right now but always do when we get a plan in motion. So, we are not doing IVF although I did get my IVF consult w/ RE. RE suggested one more IUI w/ injectables. So just to recap I have done two IUI's w/ Clomid and one IUI w/ Clomid & Bravelle. RE says that the success rate w/ injectables is about 25% compared to 15-20% w/ just Clomid so he wants to give it another shot. Like I have mentioned before, Kirk really, really wanted to do another IUI b/4 IVF since we are paying out of pocket for everything. Yesterday, I said no way...ready to move on. RE could sense my frustration and was very compassionate about it, which suprised me because he's just not that personal/social type of guy. However, he made it all sound good. He told me if it didn't work I could blame it on Kirk but if it DID work, Kirk could tell me "told you so" and we would save around 12K!!! So after the consult, on to the ultrasound room to check for cysts and there where NONE so I'm good to go. Start Clomid tomorrow and Bravelle next Thursday. So ladies...need the prayers going again. I know I have not been the best DSer these past few months but I really, really need your support and prayers right now more than ever! I will be praying for all of you as well. Love to all,Shannon

You have all my support and prayers (and, by the way, you are allowed to take a break!) I think this is a good plan...one more IUI try...worst case scenario you wait a month...best case, you are preggo and save a lot of $$$ (big bragging rights for DH though). Seriously, it is worth the try! I think you made a great decision! I\'ll be thinking of you!
That is so great Shannon I am glad you are back in the game!!! You are a GREAT SDer! I have been and continue to send prayers your way, even a litte extra this month.
KEEP me posted on how things are going and when your IUI is scheduled.
HUGE HUGS, Tyree
