I think. We are embarking on IUI #10, I had my baseline yesterday and started my meds. I had to spend nearly $400 on meds today to go along with the meds I was given, and then there will be the iui fee. I saw dr s for my baseline and I talked with her about why I was there, my previous ivf, how that I have conceived with lesser intervention. She was encouraging and understanding so that was nice. I really don't see us doing more cycles after this beyond the letrozole cycles. We don't have coverage for the meds right now and I just can't justify spending more money. Not to mention I feel it....I am done done with the process lining up for u/s and b/w making excuses to work etc etc. having my hopes dashed, my heart isn't up for that now.
I will make the best of this, see it through and all that but the hope I have left isn't great. I have a consult set up with dr m for next month, I am thinking it will be a get an rx for BC and say thanks type of appointment.
I guess defeated is an accurate description of the end of this experience with IF....but always grateful for B.

Priceless indeed. I understand that defeated feeling. Good luck with your cycle.
