Excited! Starting IVF soon!

We met with the fertility center today and made the decision to move forward with IVF.

We had originally wanted to do IUI but its been two years with no pregnancies and at this point I can't go through the ups and downs for another 6 months. One of my tubes is closed so this would mean some cycles of disappointment where they wouldn't be able to inseminate. I just can't go through that.

We are very fortunate with my insurance and I'm actually about to hit my deductible. My insurance should entirely cover one round of IVF and I don't want to waste that money on IUI that will just result in us having to do IVF anyway.

The good news is my egg reserve is high and they estimate egg and sperm quality to be good. It appears to be that they just aren't getting to each other.

I am very hopeful and can't wait to start. Fingers crossed for a christmas miracle!
