I have been trying to conceive baby #2 since July 2008. We started fertility treatments in May 2009. So far we have done 5 cycles of clomid and two cycles of clomid with intrauterine insemination. This week I started the 3rd cycle with IUI. Let hope that it works this time.
I was researching our next option with our fertility process. As I was researching, I found that many doctors recommend 3-4 rounds of IUI before moving on to injectables or invetro infertilization (IVF). My doctor didn't ever say anything about that to me, but we haven't had an extensive conversation about my future options. It is going to be a struggle for us to decide what our next step is in this process. I think that we are going to continue with IUIs for a little while more however. Then we will move on to the much more expensive options whether it be IVF or adoption. Adoption, yes, is a much cheaper option, but it is emotionally pricey to me. I know that if we adopt, however, I will love that child as much as I love Emerson.
I understand that many people go through this process and have been struggling with is for much longer than I have. I understand that I have had it really great to this point. I also believe that I need a place to feel "bad" for myself and to write my own feelings. So here it is.
