CD 1 for me And boy did that witch come with avengence this morning. I did call my Dr's office to set up an IUI for this coming cycle if possible, but got a call back saying that since I was overdue for my annual exam, that they didn't want to schedule an IUI. I had forgotten about the pap with all the crazy insurance issues we've been having.

I tried to get in before Friday for a pap, but there are no openings and since I'm really super busy at work (Yes Mr Boss, I can "throw together" a post-game reception for 100 people in 3 days ) I would feel guilty taking time off even if there were an open appointment. I would need to start the Clomid on Sunday, so it's definitely not going to work out this time around. Soooo, after getting my hopes up for an IUI this cycle, they came crashing down today.

I'm super bummed and wonder how many more obstacles we have to go through to get a healthy pregnancy. I'm trying to tell myself that there are people out there who have it so much worse than I do, and to be thankful for all the wonderful blessings in my life right now, but it's just easier to be in a funk right now. Tomorrow I will work harder on the optimism department. Also- DH has been put on a strict timeline to get this darn insurance thing finalized. Tick tock buddy- Tick Tock!

I'm sorry Cris, I hope you get everything "situated" and can schedule an IUI for next month!!! Good Luck!!

I hear ya! I prayed some hard prayers this morning as I drove to the fertility doctor to get my blood test to see if I am pregnant. A place I am still shocked that I have to go to.

I am just feeling very discouraged, and very tired. The baby making is a lot of work. And I really don't think about it that often, except for the near weekly doctors appointment, the drugs in the A.M., the drugs in the P.M., the ultra/sounds, the every two weeks, and then starting over. Sigh.

Here's hoping for a BFP blood test. I'll update later!

Most REs need your pap to be current in order to continue providing help. My RE is the same way, in fact, since I do my pap through my OB, I had to have my pap stuff faxed to my RE's office before we did our IVF.


Cris- I'm so sorry that you are dealing with any obstacle and delay. I hear ya on not being able to do things with how work is right now- I'm right there with you! Hopefully it'll all work out next cycle for the IUI.

Thanks everyone. I'm doing better today which is good. I'm still trying to find a good point to this- some reason that makes it ok that we can't do IUI this cycle, but I think I'm going to have to search for a bit on that one.

Lynda- Jackie is right, they want to make sure you're as healthy as can be before they'll do any MA stuff. Normally not an issue for me because that's the one annual appointment I always have kept, but this year it slipped my mind. I can only blame myself about it too.

Jackie- I hope that things settle down for you soon! I hate being so busy this time of year!
