Hi there, sounds like you are struggling as I was :( I am in the "Overweight" category now, which I guess is a good thing and I am okay with that. My A1C is now 6.0 so almost there in the 5.0's :) my FSH level was within normal range to do IVF, well that is what they told me, so we will see. I have one more test to go Saline Infused Sonnogram SIS, once I am cleared from that test my retrieval date will be mid September so we are super excited and praying this last test results give us the all clear!

My Insurance does not pay for IVF either, I do know of some clinics on the East Coast that have offered cycles from $5000/$6000 so maybe research different areas?

Baby dust to you as well :)

HI MissSassySlim-

Just reading your post....I'm 38 will be 39 next month....my re suggested that I move fwd with IVF....sigh....quite a blow esp cause my insurance doesn't cover it and we don't have 10,000 for the procedure.  I'm a type 2 diabetic my last AIC was 6.8...trying to get i under 6 like you.  I lost about 130 with Gastric Bypass but I'm still considered obese.  I had one failed IUI using Colmid and a trigger shot.  As I was starting my next cycle my blood work was tested and my FSH level came back very high...which is why my re suggested no more IUI's to move fwd with IVF.  Do you know what your FSH level is? Baby dust to you!

I am stressing myself out about this...there isn't anything I can do at this point....but my anxiety is over the roof!  I may have to talk to my OB about this...although I think I will feel better after my Appt this week....and she will check me so I know where I stand!  

Good to know the 5 year gap isn't too bad!  I an a bit nervous to be by myself with 2 little ones...but it is for the best and I encouraged my DH to do this!  He will do great!! 

Thanks for the reply!  :)
