Really sorry to read your post. I know what you are going through and, honestly, IT SUCKS BALLS!!!!!!

I think you need to save to have the HSG (the type of ultrasound you are talking about). Either that or find somewhere to have it done publicly (even if you have to wait). No FS would let you start IUI or IVF without having it done so it's a good start.

Also, IUI is cheaper than IVF. Maybe you could save for that. I know this isnt what you want to hear right now, but you have time on your side. If you put a little bit away each month you could maybe do IVF/IUI in the future. While I dont know your circumstances, I am assuming your DD is starting school/kindergarten soon. Perhaps you could get some casual or part time work to help save????

Best of luck whatever you decide to do

We will definitely have to save. Its just hard because to get it done publicly you need to have a fair idea of when cd5-10 is because thats when you need to have it done. But by the time I will find out when that is (because of such irregular cycles) the appointments are filled. At least by going private you can guarantee getting in whenever you want at little notice. Re: IUI my FS says theres no more chance of falling pg with IUI than naturally since there is nothing wrong with DHs sperm. I have 2 more years until DD is at school....its really difficult for me to find work to be honest. I went to Uni for 6 years to be a solicitor, landed my first graduate job and 3 months later fell unexpectedly pg at 25. Id only been married less than 6 months. The problem is that i have no real work experience outside of that field and I cant go back because of the demands of the job and because DH is in the Army and is away up to 8 months of the year. I dont have any family to help me with DD, to pick her up from daycare etc. Its just a really crappy situation.
