He also thinks I might have endo or pcos possibly, he looked at my charts and said that he doesn't think I'm ovulating regularly, and he doesn't like the level of variance in my LP and O-dates and overall cycle length. He also thinks I may have a hormone issue, low progesterone maybe, that could also be conflicting with getting pregnant.
My issue is that our insurance will likely not cover ANY of this, and I'm thinking of just having him remove the polyp (which is still surgery, but under $1000) instead of doing the septum too, which involves an incision, anesthesia and costs more like $4000-$6000. My logic is that the septum isn't much of a septum, it's just a divot, and I feel its the polyp that is causing issues. He wants me to have both the polyp and the septum removed, and then after that to go back on Clomid, and have IUI's each month and see if that works. What would you do? |

Barbara, I'm sorry your insurance blows chunks.  Ladies, if I could get some crossed fingers, that would be wonderful. I've had a little spotting the past couple days and while my doctor tells me not to worry, I'm a bit stressed. Fortunately it's all dark brown, which I'm told is almost never a problem. It's still worrisome. I'll keep you all updated if anything changes, but in the meantime, please think some positive thoughts. |

I've decided to trade the "extra" clomid I had for some Gonal-f injections. I'm going to do my "regular" clomid and the gonal-f days 7-11 and then trigger myself. The doc seems to have forgotten that we we're going to IUI THIS month and won't have the request submitted in enough time for this cycle. I so so so don't want this cycle to be a bust. So, I'm going to do it myself. I just needed to share it with someone. I told you ladies b/c I don't feel I will be judged here as you were all so nice when I admitted the clomid off the net. Ok, night night ps....CRAMPIEST HEAVY PERIOD on clomid. We even skipped out on DD's soccer practice tonight cause it's so bad. BELCH |

We decided to do one more IVF cycle before moving on to adoption...ItyBty: I had a polyp removed a few weeks ago. It was a super easy, quick surgery. I agree that the polyp is more of an issue than the septum. My new RE, who I really really like, said that usually septums aren't removed. This was after I told her about the previous RE who did remove my septum last summer. But the polyp is another issue -- the RE wouldn't do the IVF without removing it. Tenk, honey, I'm concerned about the gonal-f. I'm on Repronex (which is the same) and Follistim. When it turned out I didn't have the Follistim pen/syringe on the day I was supposed to start, they said that I absolutely should not take the Repronex on its own. I trust that you've done thorough internet research--haven't we all?!--but these meds are really powerful and need to be monitored. Wishing you only the very best.  |
OK wow that was a lot to catch up on. Airmide I'm going to read all about your acupuncture and respond to it another time. Not much going on with me. I don't even feel pregnant except for some wicked gas. I really just want to get to the 12 week mark so I can stop being so anxious.
lisa!
