What's to come...or not...

So today I went to Dr. H about what we'll do next if the Clomid and IUI didn't work. This was my third try. Here's the list she made:



1. Continue with 150 mg Clomid & IUI

2. Try a different pill with IUI for 3 cycles

3. Use injectable fertility drugs & IUI

4. Perform a Laparascopy (an elective surgery where they go in and take a look-used if

they're totally unsure of why things aren't working right)

5. IVF-in-vitro fertilization (this is our last resort because it definatley is very expensive)



So her advice was to continue with the Clomid and IUI's for 3 more cycles, and things might work out, or if I'm ready to try something different, convinced if this 3rd try didn't work, that we start injectable fertility drugs. So I definately opted for the latter. I am anxious, and hoping that this last try was successful, and we won't know for sure until this weekend, but if it didn't work, God forbid, then I'm MORE than ready to try something new!



So we're going to go to a class where the Drs. will talk all about the drugs that we will be injecting and what they're actually doing...and then if need be we'll learn how to do the injections at our first appt for that. Like I said, if we're pregnant, then we scrap all of this, and go down the exciting path of pregnancy, totally different appts, something I'm looking more forward to than anything!



I'll update Thursday after our class, when I'll be more informed about the drugs. Hopefully not too long after that, we'll have some good news!
