Mine said he does. I am a very impatient person so to wait for any of this is killing me! I am just trying to stay positive to and hope we all get our  this cycle!!!! |
My RE never perscribed BCP. I really don't know why BCP's are perscribed for anyway. I started clomid (an am finished) on CD 3-7 today is CD 9 for me. Ovidrel I take when I'm instructed too, guess I'll know that after my CD 11 bloodwork and ultrasound (Easter Sunday) I've never heard my doctor say anything about waiting in between cycles. My RE knows we want to get the ball rolling and have waited 9 long years. Our donor IUI treatment cycle has cost us $1950. Our insurance comapany will only offer assistance with IVF, but because we're doing donor IUI they will not cover anything. Shady Grove has a shared risk program for IVF, which costs about $22k (not including meds) and we're not ready to discuss that option. So, our IUI's have to work. I'm trying to stay positive, but know that IUI's don't always work the 1st try. I guess I just don't want to get too excited so the dissapointment isn't that bad.
As far as my meds go, I paid about $138 this cycle. I'd ask your RE why he intends to make you wait in between cycles.
My sperm arrived at the clinic on Wednesday, I pray I have a great count!
