I agree about wanting to know you tried everything, and it seems like it's a good intermediate step between where you are now and switching to donor sperm. <BR/><BR/>I've done my own injections this cycle and it was pretty easy cause it's subcutaneous. Just stab it in like a dart and you're done! I was really nervous before learning how, but it's easier than I thought it would be. But I'm not squeamish about needles, so that helps a lot. <BR/><BR/>Good luck and thanks for the update!annacyclopediahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10461037288546901657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7621102122133753400.post-64283589402379683682008-06-27T10:44:00.000-04:002008-06-27T10:44:00.000-04:00Oh I am glad you had a good visit.

Hopefully you will not need d/s if you use injectibles. <BR/><BR/>My RE is really scared to do IUI with me using injectibles because 150 of Clomid gives me at least two good eggs each time. Sometimes 3.

We ...Hmm, we didn't do any injectibles w/our IUIs. We went from Clomid to IVF. I just started Lupron on Monday and it's been no problem since it's subcutaneous and you can inject into your stomach or legs. For IVF atleast there are some injections that have very long needles that have to injected into your butt and my husband has to do those for me. <BR/><BR/>Check and see if your insurance covers the meds. My insurance does not cover any of the infertility stuff except for diagnostic testing, but if <BR/>DID cover the meds (no one was more surprised than me).Happyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14335137784267157167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7621102122133753400.post-49164042358335309072008-06-27T08:48:00.000-04:002008-06-27T08:48:00.000-04:00I hope the IUI/injectible cycles work for you! I d...I hope the IUI/injectible cycles work for you! I don't have any info on the injectibles. I know our RE quoted us $3500 for meds alone. We decided to do a round of clomid first. If that doesn't work, then the next will be injectibles.<BR/><BR/>One thing I've noticed is that you can find a lot of info about IVF but not IUI.<BR/><BR/>Good luck!Jessica Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06801308494220195403noreply@blogger.com
