When my partner and I decided to start trying, she had a hysteroscopy first thing. She was 42 and I was 36 at the time. They found a cyst which they removed and we waited 7 weeks to try. During this time, our doctor moved and we had to see his partner. We were not too excited about him but insurance covered more costs with his practice. She was put on Clomid and we had 4 failed IUI attempts. So, we tried IVF using my eggs with me on injectables. All of our attempts at IVF were stopped on the day before because I did not make enough eggs. At one failed attempt, we decided to just move forward with an IUI on me since we had the eggs and sperm. The quality of the IVF sperm was good enough for us to use for IUI in his opinion. We were just not comfortable with this doctor. We were going to give up. My GP said not to give up but to get a second opinion first. I had an ex who had great success with a different doctor but his services were barely covered by our insurance. We saw him. He ran tests. Our first dad ran out of vials so we had to find another. We tried IVF with my eggs in her. He let us go forward and we tried with three top quality embryos but they didn't take in her. This was all very costly emotionally, physically and financially. We took off three months then decided to go with the "back-up uterus." My period started early so things moved very quickly. I used injectables. We didn't have time to get nervous. It was different this time and we did things like I got a massage the day before the IUI so I would be relaxed. I think the lack of stress was a key factor! I am 39 and she is 45 now and we are 8 weeks pregnant! I am happily very sick with morning sickness! It has been a journey and we are broke but I think the change in doctor and reduction in stress is what worked for us!
