IUI Jan/Feb/March/Apr/May 2012 - Status updates on page one 12 bfp

[usamom]

Any of you ladies currently doing IUI with IVF on the horizon? I'm considering moving that direction- as this is my third IUI attempt for a second child. Am "greatly" concerned with the financial implications as my insurance doesn't cover anything. For my IUIs, they have covered all of my ultrasounds and bloodwork- but not the actual procedures and I expect IVF would be the same. Any information on really how much it cost? I'm finding a huge ballpark out there and nothing really breaking it down.

Hi usamom! I kinda just stalk here now and chime in every once in a while. IVF is looked at a little differently by insurance. It's something you might want to check on with your insurance. Ours doesn't cover IUI or IVF. Just testing. With that being said the price differs from state to state and place to place. For us the whole thing will be about $16,000 and thats all out of pocket. We do have to do what is called ICSI and TESE. This (TESE) is because hubby doesn't have sperm anymore. ICSI is using a needle to put the sperm into the egg. Places usually recommend ICSI anyways though. The TESE add's on $1,400 so the full price for a normal IVF might be a little cheaper for you. Where are you located? We are in Oregon and both places here have said the same price. If you have any questions I will try to help. Just PM me.

Nicker and Blue Yay for being PUPO

Wow.. I'm seeing such a wide variety of prices! It's most definitely intimidating.. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that I don't even need to go there! Thanks for the info!

Good Luck to all you ladies! I am thinking and hoping for you!! Start thinking only baby thoughts and of a little fetus growing. Don't think anything else. Just imagine it and believe. Seding you all vibes~~~~~~~~~

Who doesn't! When I lived in LA I loved all the glam, and would sometimes get my makeup dine professionally before going out. Those were the days!

Yep, I used to do it all the time before going out. It was great to have hair/makeup done then just have to change and go. Those were definitely the days.

Hey ladies, I am on a break due to my cancelled cycle and OHSS I will be picking back up next cycle in April.

Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear that. April will be here before you know it.

I'm sorry I'm not the only one in a funk today. . . it's no fun! Thank you all for the support though. I don't know what I would do without having this place to voice my fears and worries. It's so hard to have so many people in my life pregnant right now who seemed to get that way SO easily!! I hate this feeling of jealousy that I have. <sigh>

Welcome Kinerie. . . I was also diagnosed with Diminished Ovarian Reserve (Low reserve). My situation is a little different in that I am single and using donor sperm. I decided I was ready to have kids, then was told I couldn't. It was horrible! Did you have the clomid challenge done? That's how they tested me. The RE I saw was the most insensitive jerk I have ever met and I went directly from him to my OB. While there is no denying I have a low reserve, I had NO response to the clomid so she tried letrezole and I respond wonderfully to it! I have also started doing accupuncture and taking supplements. I am in the TWW right now for my third IUI so obviously I don't know if it worked yet, but I understand how you feel. Message me if you want any other information. Also, you might try reading the book "The Infertility Cure" it has been very helpful to me!

Hello there,
Sounds like we went to the same doctor, if one can call him that. After wasting a few weeks on waiting for tests' results, two absolutely pointless "consultations" where we have been told that our chances are less than 5%, with no suggestion as to how we proceed further - we decided to see another doctor. His diagnosis wasn't different but his attitude, professional, dynamic...This was yesterday and, since I am ovulating this week, he suggested we go and do natural IUI (no meds). I must admit, I am not very hopeful, as the tests not good. I guess, he wants to try and use ANY (if at all) eggs I have left even if my chances are very slim..if this cycle doesn't work - next month I go on meds and then IUI again, as I don't have enough follies for IVF..

I also started acup. and DHEA, CoQ10 and WheatGrass..What is your egg count, just wondering? Mine - 0.16, meaning undetectable

Good luck, when will you know??

Hi Ladies,

Diminished Ovarian Reserve is what my FS specializes in, he treats it from cell level, thereby working with the root of the problem, it has worked magic for me,,,,

Good luck and i am sending lots of baby-dust to you.....

[Hays :)]

Hope everyones doing ok!

Had my first natural IUI yest, was fine, bit uncomfortable as i have a tilted cervix. They said the sperm sample was perfect, just the waiting game now. I dont want to get my hopes up though. I had a positive tues morn, iui yest, but have noticed the cm stopped monday night, kinda hoping we havent missed the egg.
But they say when you get a positive opk you ovulate 12-48 hours after, is that right?

Frolicky - thanks for the vibes. Keeping the front page straight can be a little challenge and sometimes involves some digging and investigation. It is a little more difficult since I can only update it from home not my phone. I think it is appreciated though so I will keep doing it.

 

[Nicker]

Hays was that your first IUI?
