Still no line - & Shady Grove Part 2

So now it's just wait and see for my period

Shady Grove Options
I have three options with Shady Grove.  I've started all the testing again (so much blood was drawn yesterday and I have to have two sonograms next week).

The options are:
IUI - similar to what I have been doing but there are shots
Success rate - 15%

Aggressive IUI - all the medication I take would be through shots; much more controlled
Success rate 20%

IVF - lots more invasive; lots of drugs; need to take a few vacation days; won't need to buy more sperm to keep doing this over and over because I freeze the fertilized eggs and more expensive
Success rate 55%

A lot to think about - genetic testing; freezing the fertilized eggs; etc.

I have a good friend who is helping me out - she's a godsend.

I will be recalling my insurance today to confirm what's covered and ask a few more questions from Shady Grove about the process.

I'll keep you all posted on what I decide.
