Here goes everything! 26 million good sperm swimming towards the egg as we speak! One of those sperm better find it! There is nothing in their way, fresh shiny clean tubes, a huge ass target, and they were put right at the entrance! Picture perfect cycle better end with the picture perfect BFP!
I want this so. Intensely. Bad. For you, Cat! ALLLLLLLLL the vibes!

AW update from today. We met with the Urologist and he was super nice. He is letting H try Clomid + vitamin C for three months and then do a repeat SA and follow up appointment in April.
He said based on everything it's probably a genetic chromosome abnormality (we are running some tests on that too) but our only real hope at this point is IVF.
rooskie - I'm glad the urologist appointment went well but I'm sorry you didn't get any better news. When do you expect to get the genetic test results back?

Probably a week or so. They went ahead and drew the blood there and said they could work insurance coding magic.
I'm incredibly glad we maxed out FSA this year. Just the appointment was $100 and they said if insurance doesn't cover the tests it will be another $500.
Hey ladies, I haven't been around awhile though I've been love-titting as appropriate. Been really down and couldn't really be around, but I'm trying to be better. Here's the shoutouts:
{Click here to see more.}@wallieflowers, I'm so glad you finally got a shorter cycle! Rama, I'm sorry your mom was being a jerk but I am glad to hear your beta came back at 1 and you can be done. mrsjene, congrats at being PUPO! FX! pippacricket, I hope your ET went well! cjchio, I hope you find a good RE! @daikoku, thinking good thoughts now that the trigger is gone! goldenlove3, fx for growth! emilie, I hope your ultrasound went well! daisy818 good luck with your SHG and HSG! dke2010, I don't know much about injectables, but it seems like some ladies here have had good luck, I would try it if the letrozole wasn't successful. akraus2015, sorry you're here but there is a great group of supportive ladies here for you. I hope you find a good RE! kleigh, IUIs seem to be easy stuff and is our next step too. Fingers crossed for both of us. wannabmama, I hope you have a good RE appointment! kawaiikitsune, Yay for RE appointment. It's a great feeling to have an idea and a plan. ******, big squishy hugs to you. Also, omg I want a Disney Christmas village! teachermomtobe, I hope DH is right and this is your cycle! ceejay, I totally hate that feeling too. I'm sorry you're in the middle of not knowing, of just waiting. lilsneezy, hugs to you. peaseblossom55, I'm glad the ladies were able to reassure you. We are all thinking about you. Also, I love your SN. (Sorry for the weird compliment.) easilyunamused, Good luck with your supervisor. I hope your treatments are low cost OOP. rooskie, I'm sorry you didn't get better news. Hope you get some clear information when you get the genetic tests back.
I'm in quite a conundrum. As some of you might remember, my back has really been hurting and so they were testing me for all sorts of ailments. The good news is that everything came back good except my RA is a little on the tetchy side. The bad news is that they don't know why I'm in pain pretty much every day.
My original plan was to start medicated IUI in February. I want to, pretty desperately, as the longer and longer this takes, the more bitter I get. But, is it irresponsible of me to do so when my health (at least how I feel) isn't 100%? Technically the doctors say I'm fine. My rheumatologist even says that she'd rather I get pregnant now and then treat my RA. And RA gets better when you're pregnant, so it could even help me.

Based on what your doctor said, it seems like a win/win situation to try IUI now.

setsuna17 I'm sorry you're having a hard time right now. *hugs*
If your doctor's are all in the same page, I'd trust their advice. They know your medical needs and what risks both TTC and TTA have for you. They say go for it, you want to go for it, I say go ahead and do it. No need to feel guilty. <3
Thanks ladies. I it doesn't make sense for me to feel guilty. I think I just have been feeling like poop for so long that it's made me wary. But I really want to see if IUI gets us somewhere, and I'll never know if I don't try!

cateyes, Everything crossed for you! rooskie, Sorry the news wasn't better Rama and thechickencoop, glad your numbers are "negative" but I know it must be bittersweet. May 2016 be the year of the rainbows for both of you
