10:25 - It's been a weird journey so we're doing things a little backwards. In short, First started TTC in late 2011. Got KU'ed first time, but miscarried. Then had chemical. Then I was ready to do IVF (sort of), but was married yet and that would have complicated the process at the military hospital. Got married in June and was ready to join the summer cohort when thyroid went ballistic. It wasn't under control until after I had aged out of the IVF program at Walter Reed. The doc's there actually thought it was time to consider a donor. So, went to SG for OE IVF and got cancelled first time and got 1 measly egg and fertilized poorly the second time. Obviously they were using tons of injectibles, but I never got more than 3 follicles regardless. So we got a 2nd opinion and decided that we would use our funds for DE, but not before trying a cheaper alternative first back at Walter Reed, where IUIs are $166 each. We were also burnt out from the IVf intensity. FWIW, I've had the same response on 5mg Femara (days 3-7) and 150iui Gonal-F (days 8-9) as I did on mega injectibles. And this is free to me. Got seamingly lucky on IUI#2 and crossing our fingers for a good outcome b/c I have better things to do with $30k than pay for DE IVF! Long story long, I guess. Good luck in your journey. If I could do IVF again, I would have insisted on mini-IVF, but we just didn't know and SG doesn't do it. That said, Sacks at CFA thought he could have gotten 5 follies. Go figure. We didn't have the unlimited funds to try every option.

10:32 - The IF boards have been great on fertility friend and I couldn't have stayed sane without them. I agree that the due date boards are horrendous, though.

14:29 - Eff, yeah!!! That's such an awesome report! As for your DH's words, that is great advice. I will try to think about that. Maybe ;-) My DH isn't quite as philosophical abt it. He just thinks you can;t do this for 9 months straight. My reply: I don't feel pregnant so I'm not sure what you're talking about. Not very productive![/quote]
