Well, we have been trying to have a baby for almost 3 years now. We have done numerous infertility treatments. We did 4 IUI's with Dr. Reshef. Although.. he forgot to really tell us what was wrong with us. He never told us that we both had issues. He just lead me to believe that it was all me. He told my GYN that he didn't want to hurt Jeff's feelings and he knew that not all men can handle being told that they have issues. Geez, Jeff even asked the man for medicine or something that he could do to help his counts and stuff. So, long story short we changed doctors. My GYN recommended us to another RE, Dr. Haas. What a great man!!!!! Love him! He was so proactive! He got right in and figured out the problem with us in the first month. WOW!! Dr. Reshef just wanted our money. Dr. Haas told us that's not why he does this. He even files with insurance unlike the other guy. Dr. Haas started right in. The first month we did anything with him he put me on Clomid. My eggs liked it.. my lining didn't. It was so bad for my lining. We went ahead and did the IUI. Jeff gave me my trigger shot and man did it hurt. He totally raised his hand and jabbed in the needle. Bless his heart he was trying so hard to just do it fast and get it over with because he knows I hate needles. The IUI failed. The second IUI we did with him he had me on Menopur. Great stuff! Great for eggs and lining. Although I do have lining issues anyway.. it wasn't as bad as with Clomid. Jeff did much better with the shots this time around. They told us it was a great cycle. "Perfect timing" is what they told us. Well, that IUI failed also. So, Dr. Haas called us back and we had a consult with him. We talked about IVF. So... we are now on the road to IVF. I never thought in a million years that I would say IVF. I never thought trying to have a baby would be this hard. It's a total emotional rollercoaster. We've had our ups and downs for sure! But, Jeff and I have gotten so much closer through all of this. It's not easy seeing people around you get pregnant easily. But, we know that God has a plan for us. Whatever that is.. we are listening. We are trying to go where He leads us. We feel that IVF has just fallen in our laps. It's been easy so far. Except thinking about all the money that goes into it. Yicks. Our parents have been wonderful through this. They have helped us get the loans we need to make IVF happen. So... IVF here we come!!!!!
