IUI #3 Bust

Well, my period arrived today even while I was on progesterone suppositories.  This was the biggest let down because I had 3 to 4 mature eggs and Lenny had an amazing sperm sample.  It looks like I will not be going on my trip to Europe because who knows where we will be with treatments.  Not only that, but IVF costs so much money.  It is going to take all our extra money to be able to afford this.  This is just all so depressing.  I have no clue why people should have to go through this.  It is just so debilitating.  Most health problems that people face are covered by insurance.  You get cancer; health insurance will help you pay for treatments.  You cannot have a baby, it is considered elective and you get to pay for the whole thing yourself.  So, basically when it comes to my health insurance getting plastic surgery is the same as need an IUI or IVF in order to add to our family.  Some days I wish that more people in our legislature (both state and federal) had someone close to them who had experienced problems.  I feel that if this was the case that people who need these procedures would be able to have insurance to cover it.

It looks like we will be on at least one to two break cycles.  I have a call into my current RE’s office to try and see what our next step would be.  I have also called a Fertility Clinic in New York and have a phone consultation for April 11^th.  We are also on a cancellation list.  I am really hoping that someone cancels soon so that we can get our consultation done can come up with our next plan of action.  I am just a planner I hate not knowing what my next step will be.

The one good thing is that our basement project is moving along quite nicely.  I am so proud of everything that Lenny has been able to do.  He is a pretty amazing guy, he can accomplish just about anything that he sets his mind to.
