Jena,
I am so sorry. I know its hard, but keep going. Keep me posted.! LOTS OF BABY DUST FOR YOU!
bdantonio,
Thanks for info on ARC Fertility, but I think emotionally and physcially I am done with ART (not to mention financially we cannot take anymore either)
My friend is going to wait until after the 1st of the year on a fertility monitor, so I'll let you know if she has any money left after Xmas.

bdantonio,
I have a 2 year old daughter that was conceived in 2004 after 3 IUI's. I keep reminding myself that I was blessed with my daughter, but was hoping for a 2nd child. My dh has male factor, so in addition to IVF, we would have to do the ICSI.

I couldn't help myself,Beth.ICSI -it's like aranged marriage  -they pick the most mobile and good looking swimmer and inject it right into the egg-,so want it or not-it's there inside the egg.We did the same because of the sperm issues(like penetration,low amount,etc)

Marina,
yep, thats a great way to describe ICSI. I was such a dummy, I didn't realize how lucky I was when the IUI worked in 2004. I wasn't that up on counts, motility etc etc. Now I understand that was probably a once in a lifetime success and my best hope of concieving would be with IVF and ICSI. However financially its not a possiblity and I'm not getting any younger.
Congrats on being pg. did you do IVF?
bdantonio,
I saw on another post you are on bed rest?

I GOT INTO THE IVF STUDY!!!!!!!. I am so excited and also scared now. Wow IVF has alot more meds than IUI and the whole egg retrieval thing has me worried.
bdantonio,
