Pleasantly surprised

We had our appointment at the fertility clinic in Huntersville and even though some of the reviews I read weren't great, they were actually really nice. We both left feeling excited and positive. They were very informative and up front too with the costs of things.

It feels good to have the next step lined up. I don't feel like things are lingering anymore. It's nice to have a facility that is pushing to get you pregnant before I didn't know what was up next or what the options were.

If I don't get pregnant naturally this month then I go in March on the first day of my period for a few tests and they'll put me on Femara. We are all praying that if not pregnant this month then its successful the first go round. We don't have a lot of money to do lots of rounds.

In case anyone is unsure as to what IUI is http://americanpregnancy.org/infertility/iui.html

It just helps things get to where they need to be and helps our chances. They put the sperm in the uterus.

Excited but nervous..

I have so many emotions going through me. I'm going for a consult, well hubby and I, I like for him to come with me so I don't have to relay all the info to him after I hear it. Plus the support is nice. The consult is for artificial insemination or IUI. It's the next step I believe in the process of trying to get pregnant and the more affordable one. We can't now or ever afford IVF unless we win the lotto.

Please pray the IUI works, and if it works the first time all the better. I don't know that we can afford many attempts.

I worry about the cost, will the facility be caring and knowledgeable, will it work, and will it hurt. I just hope everyone will pray that it works and that the Dr thinks we should do it.

I've been googling about it, of course, I always do and end up scaring myself. I also read forums and stuff to see what worked for people.
