IUI and IVF are definitely not the only options.  There are definitely drugs and shots you can take to help you get pregnant.  We had medical help for both our pregnancies, and never did an IUI or IVF.  [/quote]

Sorry to hijack this thread, but can someone tell me more about this?  I have asked my RE at SGF and they have told me more than once that my only options are IUI or IVF.  What drugs/shots are there that can help?  What did they help do?  TIA.[/quote]

Not the PP, but one example would be taking Clomid or the same injectibles that lead up to IUI, doing the trigger shot, and then having timed intercourse instead of the IUI.  That route might be less expensive and invasive, but it is only an option in certain circumstances.  I've also heard of taking suppressant injections to treat certain female conditions and then having timed intercourse for a few cycles afterward.  Again, neither was an option for me personally, so your RE could be telling the truth for your diagnosis.[/quote]
