Well today is 11DPIUI and I couldn't resist POAS this morning. Just like I thought, . I used the 1st Response (non-digital). Yesterday and over night I had cramping, just like last cycle. I'm in fear of showing up any day. I just don't "feel" pregnant-not the least bit.

DH and I are not giving up as of yet. He told me the other night he's "in this to win it". We're casually discussing IVF further. Not sure what our next step will be. Shady Grove has the shared-risk program (aprox. $20,000 for 6 cycles). However if we chose the shared-risk then it's $20,000 + meds + donor sperm out of pocket using no insurance. One cycle costs about $9500 and if we used insurance and they authorized a cycle, we'd be out half of that, $4750. It's just so sick! I'd hate to think we'd (potentially) spend upwards of $10,000 on IUI's with no success. The rate we're going, it won't take long.

My step-mom is an RN and she mentioned she had a patient yesterday who was all of 12 years old and had a baby.

I'm all for doing a cycle of IVF but have to have DH on board 100%. It's all so overwhelming and I can't discuss with my RE or nurse until Monday.
