Sometimes it's hard to conceive, with all that I've got,and all I've achieved, what I want most before my time is gone,is to hear the words "I love you, Mom." My Battle with Infertility

And the verdict is...
Yep that's right. My first IUI failed. We both expected it though. It was a last minute deal so not a big chance it would work. One thing that was new was that I had symptoms of low progesterone this cycle. To get pregnant and maintain a pregnancy, most doctors like to see a luteal phase of 12 or more days. If any spotting or a period comes before that, then that means low progesterone. I had spotting for 4 days so I get the pleasure of starting my first round of progesterone supplements this cycle as well as clomid. (tmi? Ha! Nothing is tmi anymore when it comes to infertility. lol) I start clomid Friday and I'm kinda anxious since clomid has some side effects of extreme mood swings. Poor Jared. I'm on the lowest dose possible though so hopefully I won't have the side effects. So basically I start the clomid friday and stay on it for 5 days. Then I wait for a positive ovulation test, I get the iui, and then start progesterone until I either get a positive pregnancy test or go 15 days without a positive test.
I had MORE insurance problems today. Story of my life right now. They denied a claim for a diagnostic x-ray. I called them asking why they denied it. They said "well it says right here that we cover diagnostic only for infertility" So I responded "alright, let me read this claim off to you. It says right here DIAGNOSTIC x-ray. So please tell me why it wasn't covered". I need to take an insurance class cause clearly I'm doing their job for them. Jared is going to take care of it tomorrow hopefully.
