Main fertility doc wasn’t there today. Talked with the nice (but not so knowledgeable) backup.
3 IUIs failed, not a single positive test to show for it.
Options:
Do an endometrium biopsy, just to check (free)
Do laprascopy (ovarian drilling, possibly another HSG, check for endometriosis, also free)
Do 1-3 more IUIs at $2,000 each cycle using sperm bank sperm or save $1,000/cycle if we find a donor friend
IVF:
$10,100 PLUS about $6,000 in meds (plus sperm) for 1 cycle.
$1,750 per embryo transfer after that
or wait 3 years to be put on the OHIP funded cycle (government health insurance) and save the $10,000
Fuck.
If we continue with IUIs, we may never get pregnant or get an official answer on fertility. Could be egg issue, embryo issue etc. What should we do?
I’m kind of leaning towards the biopsy/drilling and a couple more IUIs but maybe with other (free) sperm but we don’t know any healthy males we want to request swimmers from.
