3 failed IUIs. How do you cope?

[Strawberry13]

Thanks for reassuring me guys. Ive been googling like nuts and it seems like it is pretty common for the digis to show up positive much later. There's still a chance it's a chemical but I should have a better sense when I get my beta today!

 

[Strawberry13]

Beta is 141 at 11dp3dt. I am pregnant!!!! Ahhhhhhh

Wow that's wonderful news!!! Stupid digital test! I've heard of them not working and then betas showing over 100 ... it makes no sense.

Congrats again, soooo happy for you!!

OMG Strawberry!! Thats wonderful news and here you were concerned it didnt work and already planning future cycles!! CONGRATS!!

 

[PinkPeony]

Woohooo!!! Stupid digi. I've always been scared of those.

So kids, I had my second ultrasound today. Looks like I'm still in the same holding pattern. Lil' "A" is measuring a full week behind but the heart rate went up from 90 to 121 bpms. (that's still low) Big ol' "B" is doing totally great. My doctor said that I have a 95% chance of delivering at least that one. It was my regular doctor this time (last time she was out of town so I saw a different one), so I was interested to see if she had a different take. She didn't seem quite so grave but basically said that she's letting me know to be "emotionally prepared". Seems like it could still go either way.

It was pretty cool to see the ultrasound. Last week they were just 2 little white dots, but this week they look like little gummy bears. It's amazing how much they grow in one week.

I'm back again for the same shenanigans in 2 weeks.

Wow, thanks for the update... It sounds like he or she is a fighter so far. Will continue to pray for the best...so glad you are getting frequent ultrasounds too!

 

[Strawberry13]

Pink that is great news, baby a is totally a fighter. That's great you've already had 2 sonos. Mine isn't until 3 weeks from now ugh!

Yeah dumb digital test I'm gonna throw the rest of the box out lol.

 

[Nicedips]

Strawberry - Thats awesome! Congratulations again
Will keep this in mind on digi tests and wont go crazy when my time comes

Pink - baby sure is a fighter. Hang in there

 

[Strawberry13]

Nicedips I'm forgetting where are you at in your process?? And yes definitely throw away all of your digi tests before your next cycle

 

[Nicedips]

I was supposed to start IVF in sept but got postponed to next cycle. Waiting for next period to start stimning. I am on short protocol similar to yours, dont know what injections yet. I will know more at nurse talk tomorrow.

 

[Strawberry13]

Oh ok, that's right I thought I remembered us being around the same schedule. Let us know how it goes tomorrow.

 

[StayHopeful]

Congrats, Strawberry! Pink, glad to hear both your little beans are still hanging in there!

 

[Nicedips]

I had nurse talk today! Wooow too much information to grasp in 30 min. She was sweet and assured she will guide through step by step when time comes

Interesting thing I grasped is if I have to pay out of pocket they r gng to bill me close to $10k. If insurance covers they bill insurance close to $5K. Shouldn't that be opposite

 

[StayHopeful]

You're one step closer, nicedips! It does seem like a lot after that talk but it's not too bad when you just take it one day at a time.

 

[Strawberry13]

Yeah that does seem a little messed up about the $$. Do they have any kind if payment plan or something to ease the pain at all? 10k sounds about right does that include drugs?

 

[Maverick007]

So excited you are getting started soon, nicedips! It's super overwhelming as everyone here will tell you, but if you just don't get too ahead of yourself, it's not that bad. Without insurance, I paid between 10-11K just for the IVF - that didn't include my meds which were about $2,300. It sucks, there's no getting around that! But I know most of us would agree it's worth it to have a chance at achieving your dream! Good luck to you!

 

[Strawberry13]

Yup I agree 100% w maverick, I paid about 15k all in, and it was worth it. I would do it again. It's the build up to it and the emotional toll that was the worst of it for me. The physical part wasn't bad at all.

 

[PinkPeony]

I paid 15K too. It still smarts a bit I gotta say, but I would do a million times over. It's a little rough because now we need to do a bunch of work on our house to get ready for a baby and I'm not sure where that money is going to come from. But we'll figure something out.

 

[Nicedips]

I ended up paying 10K, dont know yet how much medicines are gonna cost they will most likely covered by insurance, so not thinking about that. I cant wait for my period to get started. A week seems like forever
