Hi, all -

I'm back.  Been TTC au naturale for the last several months with no success....going back to the RE on Wednesday.  What should I ask? Should we go right for IVF or nickel and dime with IUI? I'm all kinds of confused.


Thoughts?
Any help would be appreciated!

Have you tried any fertility treatments thus far? Clomid? Shots? etc? I think its very rare for a RE to recommend jumping straight to IVF. I hope you have a great appointment and learn a lot! Keep us posted on how it goes.

We did all that the first time around - two years ago, pre weight loss.  We did several rounds of clomid with IUI, then one round of injectables with IUI...they were going to jump to IVF then, but suggested weight loss of some kind, "we're fighting estrogen" he said.  So IDK what he'll say.  We shall see! Thanks for your thoughts.....I hope for good things.

Hey, Nikki -

Have to start from scratch - doing a full work up again.  Said he'll likely be a bit more aggressive this time, due to age, situation, LONG history of TTC.  He said we'll look at what the tests tell him and go from there.  I'm not looking forward to all the testing again, but it is what it is. 

*fingers crossed*
Thanks for asking!
