I could kick him today!! I start my injections for IUI again today and he is just so skeptical (sp?). He thinks that the doctor is doing too many sonograms and is just trying to make more money off of us. Ughhh! He is going along with this though, reluctantly! DH said last night that he thinks a lot of women are doing infertility treatments more that ever because of the availability and if most of us were just more patient we would end up pregnant in the long run. Who knows, maybe he is right on that one, but I am not willing to sit around and wait any longer.
I will get through this and hopefully will be pregnant in the end!!!

I have only been to 3 baby showers and one was for a friend who finally got pg on ivf. It did feel alot better than the others. I have avoided showers for years. The last one I was at I got my period that morning after another failed attempt at pg. It was not a good time.

Just me, Sounds like maybe he is just worrying about money. It is so frustrating. I think we have all been there. I am sorry we all have to deal with all this infertility stuff.
We went out on Saturday and bought all new windows for our house. We desparately need them. OOOOOooooo ouch! The price tag on that one! Then on Sunday, our dryer went out. Both washer and dryer are very very old. So out we went to the store to buy a new set. When it rains, it pours. I was thinking...... if we didn't have to deal with infertility, we would have the money for some of this stuff. Oh goody, more stress......just what I need!

That's pretty ironic about your dryer.....because mine is about to die. It is making loud screeching sounds. It is so loud that I have to make sure that my neighbor is at work when I try something so that it doesn't bother her! My husband and I were talking about it last night.....we were saying if it could just hold on until summer! You are right about when it rains...it pours!
Wantsbaby2, He constantly worries about money anyway. It gets annoying sometimes. It is his job, he is a personal financial advisor and is continuously in that frame of mind. How can we save money, college funds, retirement, etc etc etc. I am glad he is like tht most of the time. He has us in good shape, it is just when it comes to stuff like this, he can't look past the cost. Ughhhh!!!!

He does sound stressed but if you did not ovulate without meds you have to have treatment. Wishful thinking wont help that. I am the one to worry about the cost of this whole thing. Hubby is always telling me to settle down, it will be ok. I tell him that he wont be the only working to pay of debt when I get pg. Morning sickness and work are not a pretty picture.
