[quote=Anonymous]I am also TTC #2, have a 2 year old, and about to start IVF.  But I just completed a medicated IUI cycle with injectible FSH, so I had a similar monitoring schedule to IVF, I had about 8 monitoring appts. total (more toward the end before trigger shot).  Then the appt. for the IUI.

I'm a SAHM but my husband has a very inflexible job and he could not take any time off for my monitoring appts.  We don't have local family or anyone who could babysit that early in the morning (and be reliable).  Also, a lot of the timing of appointments depend on what the u/s and bloodwork show, so the appointments were somewhat unpredictable, which would make scheduling a babysitter challenging.  So we flew in my MIL (who lives in the midwest) for 10 days to cover all the monitoring appts. and the IUI appt, because of the fact that many of the appointments ended up being unpredictable (in other words I'd go in for a monitoring appt. and get my 2 pm phone call that day about the blood test results, then they would tell me when to come in next, sometimes in a few days or the next day).  Having my MIL here was the only way we could make it work.  Now we're deciding when to do IVF and we'll have to do the same thing, flying my MIL again for 2-3 weeks this time.  It's challenging to find childcare for all these appointments, etc. if your spouse doesn't have a flexible job.[/quote]
