    I agree with everything Mary313 said! My son is 1 this month and I don't regret it, not even for a second! Now I will say that before I had made the decision to do it I had many of the same feelings that you are having now. One day I was sure it was the right thing to do, the next day I'm scared to death with a billion questions or what if's! I even had those negative feelings just after I got pregnant! But it only lasted a few days before I knew it was the right decision. I too was waiting for prince charming, and he is hopefully he's still out there somewhere, but I'm not getting any younger and didn't want to start my family any older than I am now (I'm 36), so I went for it. Now, I will agree with Mary313 in that it's hard, I will not deny that, financially especially, but in the end - is SO worth it. I tried artificial insemination 6 times (miscarried once but had 5 failed attempts), so I ended up going the IVF route and got pregnant the first time. The only thing I will say about IVF when you're single, is I absolutely only allowed them to implant one embryo, not two or three, because I did not have a fertility problem, I just didn't have prince charming. I didn't want to risk having multiples when doing it on my own. If the first attempt at IVF with one embryo failed, I may have considered two but never more than that. Thankfully I didn't make that decision. I will say again, this is the best decision I have ever made!!! Good luck!!!!!

    anne72.....Good luck. I too have just started the journey and it is all going so fast like it was meant to happen. I too just ordered the sperm. It arrived at the docs office yesterday. when I got the call to say it arrived I was so excited. I started clomid yesterday and am due to have an ultrasound on the 13th to see the results of the clomid. I will hopefully be doing the iui sometime the week of the 14th, may the luck of the irish be with me and lots of baby dust. Lots of baby dust to all of you!

    I just had my first IUI on February 23, 2011...2 wws over tomorrow....got anxious and took a test on Monday (which was only 12 days post IUI)...and it was negative. But now I'm scared to take it tomorrow...but feel encouraged to read everyone's posts...if it's negative, I'll just try next month...again on Clomid (50 mg) - seemed to have worked for me...
