Countdown is on...

Well... had our first appt with the IUI clinic since we got pg back in Feb.

They put up some new stats: The clinic saw over 1500 new patients last year, and the wait time is now 11 months, and there are currently 1100 people on the wait list.

Met with the Dr. Told her we must have had a period around which day (Cuz we wern't really sure IF it was a period). She thot it was to late to do anything this month because I would have already ovulated. Weird right? It's almost as if she would have done IUI right then and there if I was ovulating. Good sign...

She said ok, let's give you a prescription for clomid and when your period happens this month, you'll go on clomid and we'll do IUI.

WOOO HOOO...No wait period??? I'm lovin' it!!!!

We then told her that we were on clomid for like a year and never saw an ovulation surge, and all it did was screw my periods up. So we asked her to give us the potent stuff. Even tho IUI worked back in Feb with no medication....I don't want to go through the m/c again so I'd rather pay for the drugs and try and get some extra help. So she put me on some prescription Preg Vitamins instead of off the shelf to get me ready since I m/c once. She sent in a nurse to explain how the Gonal-F Pen gets injected, all about our u/s appts once my period hits, blah, blah, blah...

Dr. said it costs anywhere b/w 1-4K. But I have a pretty good drug plan so I'm not that worried.

The only thing that I am basically worried about...Is that I don't get cysts from this potent fert med. That would push us back even longer.

What awesome news...So now...WE WAIT.
