Brandon and I have now been trying to conceive for 26 months and have been taking medication for four months, with still no luck. Two weeks ago I could feel my little selfish friend coming so I called our fertility doctor to find out what our next steps were going to be. The nurse called me back at lunch and said Dr. Young wants to change your medication and wants to do IUI (intrauterine insemination). So I immediately asked them to call our insurance company to see if they cover it, the receptionist called me back and said no they don't and its $395 cash price. So I called Brandon and told him what I just found out. So Brandon and I talked that night after work face to face and decided we wanted to try it. Thankfully I am working now and it's not as much of a financial strain, but we don't want to have to do it very many times. I will be ovulating sometime around this weekend and our doctor has on call staff that will do it on a Saturday or Sunday. I go in for a day 14 ultrasound on Friday to find out where my follicles are at and if they are good, they will schedule us for the procedure. We are both nervous about it because its a lot of money if it doesn't work and it has an increased risk of multiples, but we know that and are prepared for that. We could really use some prayers this week in anticipation for this.
I will update my blog on Friday when I find out what's going on.
