[wantbaby#2]

31 Becc...Left me.It all got too much i guess. Now im trying to hold myself together to raise my 12 yr old son (husbands stepson) alone.
I hope that all of you girls get that longed for baby .Im out for now.Going to bed to cry myself to sleep.Havnt stopped all morning.Totally devastated.
Good luck girls.I will be thinking of you all.
Please dont let trying for a baby get in the way of your relationship like i did.It controlled my whole life.now im alone without a husband and without that baby i sacrificed him for. Talk about empty arms. Ironic.

Wantbaby#2 - so sorry to hear that. You need to go and get some chocolate and have some "me" time otherwise it will consume you. Thinking of you.

Ok so here i go again, about to start 3rd round of chlomid today, i thought last round was my month but af decided to show up beginning of the week.. Oh well.. THIS MONTH..
Where is everyone else at??? SO BFP"S anyone??

Wantbaby2, how's things with you??

Hey Frustrated - month 3 might be it.

I went back to the FS yesterday - and they have given me the OK to do up to 3 more cycles of chlomid - then it is onto IUI. apparently there is a higher percentage of people that fall BFP after having the dye - so fingers crossed - now all I have to do is wait for a natural AF to begin - so a few weeks away I am guessing.

Hope there are some BFP this month.

Nice to have the forum back online.

I am thinking that i wont have any luck this month as hubby is away working till next friday so i think timing wise it is not going to work. Unfortunately he is working away quite a bit so i think the best thing for us to do is try the clomid another month then if nothing i might look into ivf.

Has anyone looked into this? i think (hope) i only need to use it for the freezing of sperm - because we cant guarantee when he is home and implanting. I have looked at the website but it is a bit confusing to work out cost involved with all the medicare rebates and health insurance, i just want to know how much is the most it will cost if anyone can help me out or explain it to me

hope everyone is doing fine.

31becc i am so hoping round 3 is my lucky round

I had the dye test done before i started on the chlomid, unfortunately it hasnt made it any easier for me 2 fall, but they did tell me it could as it clears out anything that may be causing blockages in your tubes.. Good luck.. babydust

Tammara :- Not sure with the health insurance etc..But im pretty sure its between $6000-$8000 that it costs up front then medicare will cover some, so you will get a little back. ( Not the doctor fee's), i am not in a health fund so i'm not aware of the amount that is covered by that.

Thanks for that i think i might have another read up and make some phone calls.

Tammara - IUI - is where they insert his stuff into your uterus - that is the step before IVF - it is cheaper too.

IVF - my FS has an estismate of all costs on his website check it out :

Reproductive Medicine - Albury

I hope this helps as to some kind of guide to costs.
